Wednesday: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

Yes. The students were meeting in hallway of the faculty offices. Specifically outside a certain teachers office.

There were also brown robes and a lot of handbells.

“Hello class,” Jamie said cheerfully. “Today we’re here to honor one of our longest reigning faculty members. He’s been teaching ethics as long as I can remember and because of his dedication I have decided to honor him the best way I know how.”

Suddenly two dupes appeared with a large banner that they started hanging up in the hallway. The banner read:

Happy Anakin Skywalker Day!



“Now I bet you’re wondering... How can I make Professor Skywalker happy and honor his tenure here? Well I went out to the wonderful world of the internet and asked those who know him best how to do that. And luckily I was able to find one volunteer to help us out. Kids? Meet one our favorite alumni, Bel Thazor!”

If Bel thought it was weird being back in Fandom and on this side of the classroom (and not recognizing a single face among the students), it didn't show, because he was grinning like mad. Really, how could he pass up any opportunity to harass Anakin? Especially in the name of education?

"Hey, kids," he said. Okay, he felt a little old. "I went to school here with Anakin, so we go waaaaaay back. So I know all sorts of ways you can show your appreciation. Jamie's got the robes and the bells, but he's missing one little item." He reached into the bag he was carrying and pulled out a handful of clip-on hair extensions, braids in every hair color (and a few unnatural ones). "See, he used to have this dorky braid in his hair, so I'm sure he'd love it if you all wore one in his honor. And if you really want to get on his good side, tell him that his wife is hot. Or his daughter is. He'll really appreciate that." Belthazor: master of subtlety.

“His daughter is pretty hot,” Jamie agreed. “Especially when she isn’t two. However I wouldn’t actually recommend marrying his daughter in a secret wedding. That just might annoy him. A tad.”

Insert awkward cough here. Yep There it was. “Can you think of any other ways of showing Anakin our appreciation, Bel?”

Bel did have the other daughter in mind there, and he gave Jamie a Look when he mentioned marrying the younger one.

"Ask him about Padme," he said. "He likes to talk about her. Or ask him about the other Ethics class and how that inspired him to teach his own version. I mean, he must've really loved it to go into teaching it, right?"

“I guess,” Jamie said scratching his head in confusion. “Though the previous ethics teacher was kind of a dick. With a really bad asthma problem. And an anger problem. And I think a weird obsession with IKEA.”

"Oh, not him, the first Ethics teacher," Bel clarified. "Tara. Ask him to compare and contrast his class with hers. It'll show you're really interested in the topic."

“All right then!” Jamie said clapping his hands together to show that, yes, the true activity was about to begin. “All good ways to show how much we love that Anakin Skywalker oh so much. But to kick things off, I’ll need you to pick out a bell, put on the robes and the hair clips and sing a certain song.”

A song that certain dupe was handing out lyric sheets to what was assuredly Anakin’s favorite song.

“Remember to ring the bell once after each line. And try to ring that bell as sullenly as possible!”

Jamie and Bel were so dead.

Warren had actually met Anakin at least a few times and he didn't want to die.

... But ringing the cowbell thing didn't seem to be too bad. So maybe that would be okay?

But still. Didn't. Want. To. Die.

Scully couldn't sing. But she knew this. So she clanged the bell a little louder to make up for it. "Little CLANG Bunny CLANG FooFoo CLANG hopping CLANG through the CLANG for-est..."

Why wasn't she wearing a gun? Why?

Scully fixed her hair, while giving Jamie and Bel death-glares. Death. Glares.

She was going to throw them under the bus first chance she got.

*cackling* And as was pointed out to me by Bel's player, somewhere, Parker is feeling this urge to shudder. And has no idea why.

Not ONLY did this make me search way back on the ethics tag to find the aforementioned first ethics teacher, which led to great amusement, but also it made me cackle extensively. Two thumbs up.

Claudia listened to the lecture, looked over at the banner, robes, bells, and braids, and pulled a pair of purple sunglasses out of her bag.

It wasn't exactly a disguise, but she felt it added a certain "it's not my fault I'm here doing this" mystique to her outfit.

Claudia had at least already figured that part out. Since there was no TA thread, She approached Jamie during the first chorus with her weekly box o' stuff.

"Nice use of the robes," she said, as she held out the box. It contained:
  • 42 pumpkin cup-pies
  • A complete, if lightly used, Magic Bullet food processor set
  • A flugelhorn, labeled "Property of Bayside High" on the side
  • One 8 track tape of "La Bamba"
"Did you know Trini Lopez was a dude? Oh, and some school called "Bayside" is totally liquidating their brass section. Oh, and:" She pulled out a personal sized cooler and opened it up. Inside was a pile of ice packs, on top of which sat a golf ball sized butter blob.

With horns.

"You put that down," Karla hissed. "I do not want to have to be mad at Ben because his grandfather chopped you up into itty bitty pieces with his brain."

Cara considered just how likely this class was to get someone killed, then she considered who the mostly likely targets would be.

Almost cheerful at the prospect of teacher-on-teacher violence, she selected a lock of hair near one temple and started braiding it. Even if she still knew exactly how many days it had been since she'd worn a Mord'Sith's braid, there was no way she would wear a false one of any description.

Hoping that Jamie's death would be neither swift nor painless, Cara recited the words to the song tonelessly and with very little enthusiasm.

The banthabell made a pretty impressive CLANG! right then and there, as Warren's hands snapped open and he dropped it right back where he'd picked it up from.

"Okay. Okay, that sounds like a good idea."

Warren was nothing, if not agreeable!

"Are you crazy?" she asked, sending it flying with Craft. "You've met Anakin, right? We'll be lucky if we evade the flying bone shards when he murders Mr. Madrox."

Thaaaaat was not the best choice of words if you wanted Warren to not look at you in heart-stopping, abject horror, Karla. You've had to pick those out of him before.

"Right. Right, I'm sorry. I didn't mean... I don't know what I meant. I don't even like that song. I'm sorry."
glacial_queen: (Concerned)

Re: Listen to the Lecture!

And Karla was facepalming repeatedly, other hand reaching out for the words as if she could pluck them out of the air and shove them back into her mouth. She was still so wiped from the weekend, she hadn't even thought--

"No, no," she said, stopping the facepalming long enough to reach for him. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said--you know Anakin wouldn't actually hurt anyone--it was stupid, I shouldn't have--here, just take the stupid bell, okay?"
wwiii: (Sorta scaredy)

Re: Listen to the Lecture!

... And now Warren had a stupid bell, and he was clutching it to his chest and staring at Karla, wide-eyed.

NO HE DID NOT WANT THE STUPID BELL ANYMORE. WHY DID SHE GIVE HIM THE BELL? DID SHE WANT HIM DEAD??

You know what? Now she was just vanishing the stupid bell, fuck the bell, may it rot in whatever chiming perdition bells went when they died!

"C'mere, c'mere," she said, trying to pull him into a hug. "You know me, I speak before I think. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, just c'mere..."
