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

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

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.

Listen to the Lecture!

It's CHOCK full of good ideas! Really!

Annie was listening the lecture. Listening with horror.

And not just because Jamie called a two-year-old hot.

Suddenly seriously worried about her Ethics grade, Annie occasionally glanced towards the exit and why were there bells and why was she actually curious about that previous Ethics class?

Re: Listen to the Lecture!

Karla looked horrified. Utterly horrified. She'd met Anakin. You know, more than once.

"Can I go back to licking doorknobs?" she asked. "Or babysitting my duplicates while we all lick doorknobs?"

Dave wasn't sure why Jamie wanted his students dead (or possibly arrested for pedophilia somehow), but it was starting to feel like that's what the ultimate goal of the class was.

Dave was just going to stay to the back of the group. And probably hide.

Angelica had Anakin for Ethics. She had to sit right in front of his desk.

There was no way she was going to be trying any of this. She wanted to pass!

This was a good idea like wearing a suit of meat into the royal zoo or taunting the death gods.

James tried to ignore his teacher and look for the best escape route.

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.

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.

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.

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.

K-Mart had decided after the first class to pretend Jamie was just a slightly mixed-up escapee from a mental ward.

This... was doing nothing to change that decision.

But she was a senior, didn't have Anakin's class to worry about a grade in, and figured what the hell?

Re: Listen to the Lecture!

[walkswithcoyote]

Oh no. There was just no way Mercy was getting involved in this.

Re: Listen to the Lecture!

Sam didn't know Professor Skywalker which is exactly why he thought this idea was almost kind of nice. If he'd known better, he would have been horrified like everybody else but now he was just wondering where Jamie's soft spot had come from.

Seifer just sort of stared at Madrox and his... co-teacher in horror. Seriously, this was worse than any detention Deadpool could have come up with. He would have even cleaned up mutant alligators and goldfish, though he doesn't know about that event.

There was no way in Hell or Heaven's Islands that Seifer was doing this. Just... no. He had class with that guy.

Goose was just staring and trying to figure out what the best way to avoid being involved in this was.

"Some of us just can't make more of ourselves when he kills us," Ben said a little hysterically.

If this were another teacher, Richie would have been really amused by the, ah, lecture.

But he'd met Anakin and had a healthy fear of respect for him. So he was focusing a little more on how this could end badly for him than on the entertainment value of it all.

Squall knew that Professor Madrox was more than a little strange. He didn't know he was suicidal.

Seriously.

SING!

Yes. Sing! And Clang that bell!

Freddie had no qualms about doing this. He just pretended it was a bit for iCarly.

For the Guest of Honor

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

When Anakin Pings in. I'm sure he'll have a smile on his face. Don't you? Make sure to try and make him happy with Jamie and Bel's suggestions!

Re: For the Guest of Honor

[sith_happened]

As a bonus part of your education today, children, you got to learn new and really foul Huttese curses just before Anakin yanked the door open!

Oh, what a lucky day for all of you.

Anakin took in the robes, the braids, the bells and the song at a glance and glared hard at the faces he recognized.

"You have ten seconds to clear out," he said in a deceptively quiet voice. "Madrox, don't even think about going somewere."

Talk with Jamie and/or Bel!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Just in case you need fresher ideas!

Re: Talk with Jamie and/or Bel!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

If Jamie was a smart lad, he'd be making a break for the door as soon as Anakin stormed in.

Jamie was not a smart lad.

I've always wondered how Jamie survived Ethics class with Vader. Because REALLY.

Laughing so hard there are tears.

TEARS.

I love you guys.
