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

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Sometime earlier in the week, the students would have gotten a notice that swimsuits were optional for class today. And anyone fearing the reason why might feel relieved when they saw that the danger shop had been transformed into a cruise ship

But not just any cruise ship. It was a cruise ship staffed by Jamie Madrox duplicates in white uniforms.

"Welcome aboard students!" Jamie said as he doffed a captain's hat. "Today we're going to set a course... for LOVE!"

Suddenly the cruise ship was filled with music and song. The Jamies were singing and dancing around in a well coordinated choreography that included ballet, jazz, tap and lots of spirit fingers.

If the students weren't afraid now? They should be.

"Homecoming is coming up kids," Jamie said when the musical number was complete. "Which means... dating. And falling in love. Which for many of you might be a completely new thing. So to help you along I've used a scientific process to bring the most compatible people together in class and give you an optimal situation where you can interact."

Point of fact: Jamie's scientific process involved throwing darts at a dartboard. Possibly in the teacher's lounge and at his own face.

"Enjoy your cruise ladies and gentlemen... on the Love Boat."

Lecture/Musical Number!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Can you feel the excitement? Or is that just dread?

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

It was dread.

This seemed to remind Dave of something he couldn't quite put his finger on, though....

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

It was definitely dread. In fact, as they stood on the deck, Karla was folding her arms and saying, "I don't trust this. I'm not alone, right? Everyone else knows this is somehow going to be a bad idea?"

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

[wwiii]

Dread. Dread in the worst way.

Whatever this was going to lead to, Warren could only sit and wish that he was licking doorknobs, instead.

Angelica had never been on a date before. Way to rub it in, class. She had a bad feeling about this.

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

[onapalebicycle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was dread. You could tell by the way you could taste bile at the back of your mouth.

Annie passed dread a few classes back and was wondering if it might be too overdramatic to just find a wall to beat her head against. Normally, yes, it would be, but in this class...

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

Sam was mostly amused. He couldn't help it, this class just amused him despite the doorknob licking and singing. He didn't really know what he was about to get himself into but he wasn't sweating it.

Yeaaaaah, Cara would just be jumping over the side of the boat now. It wasn't like she could actually die in here.

Re: Lecture/Musical Number!

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Oh no. This was going to be bad. She just knew it.

Set a course for adventure! Your mind on a new romance!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Each student will be paired with another! Wait for your paring!

Couple #1: Squall Leonhart/Seifer Almasy

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Their romantic moment is set on the deck in the stars and moonlight! The wind blowing through their oh so majestic hair!

Couple #2: Cara/Mercy Thompson

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who are set to meet at the bar on the Leto deck. Alas there is no liquor. Only Shirley Temples and a Jamie duplicate wearing a black mustache who keeps saying "Out of sight!"

Couple #3: Karla and Sam LaCroix

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who have a romantic dinner scheduled right by the Captain's table. Jamie might have possibly matched these two up to see if Annie got Tourette's again and to see if Warren might molt.

Couple #4 Dave Nelson/Annie Edison

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Gosh! There's no reason why these two couldn't form a love connection! Especially by the pool!

Couple #5: Dana Scully/Freddie Benson

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who get to connect over a game of shuffleboard!

Couple #6: James of Krondor/K-Mart Mancini

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who get to connect with each other in the Ship's gift shop!

Couple #7: Warren Worthington III/George Lass

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who for some reason are meeting in the baggage compartment of the ship. Odd that.

Couple #8: Ben Skywalker/Billy Kaplan

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who have been set up to meet at the volleyball court. With music from meta for Top Gun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KLRNkLdzgI) playing.

How odd.

Couple #9: Jacob Black/Angelica Jones

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who are going to meet over drinks in the ship's pirate themed bar.

Yes. That meant Jamie duplicates dressed like Jack Sparrow.

Just roll with it.

For the TA!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

If she hasn't doubted the sanity of Jamie yet, today would be the day to do so.

Re: For the TA!

[notmyownage]

Please, she doubted his sanity the moment she met him.

That didn't mean she didn't have the supplies he'd asked for. They were all labeled "RMS Lucitania". Which was a pretty neat trick, since effective sunscreen hadn't been invented until the 1930s.

"I should have stayed in Switzerland."

Talk to Jamie!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Not that'll do you any good.

I've had that theme going through my head all day.
