Criminal Justice, Class 17

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Light day today because I have an insane idea for Thursday's class that has been brewing for WEEKS and I can't focus on anything good for today's class. Let's just take this as a day of transition. Class Info Post.]

*The Teacher of the Month The Tick is at the podium as usual. It may be surprising to anyone not at Sunday's memorial service that Lockheed is in the room, occupying the shelf that he had frequently napped on in the past.*

Today's going to be a light day, class. What with everything going on, between the projects and... other things, I thought today would be a good day to open the floor to any questions you might have about Justice, our class in general, where we're going, who we are, or what we're all doing here in class or on Earth!

First things first, though. The project simulations were run in the Danger Shop on Sunday. Most of you were there. I'm sure you'll agree that they went well overall. But if you'd like to talk about where some of them went hilariously wrong, we can discuss that as well. You should have grades by next Tuesday which should give Rory plenty of time to protect me from the nefarious grades!.

And I also have a reading for you to do for Thursday. *Tick gestured to a box full of books* This is a book whose title was never specified by somebody, probably a British guy, one of the leading theorists in the field of Criminal Justice in the somethingth, possibly 19th Century. I'd like you to read the first 50 pages for Thursday and be ready to discuss just what exactly the author was talking about! It's a quick read, very open to interpretation, so it should be fun! Yes, Thursday will involve a lot of strike tags.

Now, the Floor of Knowledge is open to the Custodians of Inquisition! Sweep away the Dust of Ignorance with your Brooms of Questioning!

Project Discussion

[Any talk about the project goes here. All other discussion embraces the chaos of being in threads that you make.]

Question?

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

How does one pick out a super hero identity?

Re: Question?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. Some heroes ponder over this for a long time. They might base the name on their powers, the source of their powers, whatever costume they came up with first, or even by looking at marketing numbers while trying to maximize their name recognition.

And then there are heroes like me. I just am The Tick. Which is a lucky twist for me, because otherwise the antennae wouldn't make any sense!

While we all love Justice, like with every spoon we sometimes spill some of the soup. So is it best to sometimes let a guilty carrot escape or is it better to get spill free spoons where an innocent piece of leek gets eaten?

I really think Aeryn did some awesome reconning there. *nods solemnly*

"Thank you."

"You know, if CoyoteJaye hadn't told the babysitting service that the road runner was only doing it to kill himself, it would have worked.

Hey, where's Little Wooden Boy?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn facepalms a lot at this school.

Lockheed snickered from his shelf.

"Err," Tick began. "He won't be joining us."

Re: Project Discussion

[fates_jaye]

"Is he sick? I bet he's sick," Jaye says seriously.

Re: Project Discussion

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Err... He's no longer with us. He, uh, caught on fire."

Re: Project Discussion

[fates_jaye]

Jaye pauses, then says slowly. "He just has a fever, right?"

Re: Project Discussion

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Err... No."

Lockheed tried not to roll his eyes.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"You let the carrot go and then keep a close eye on it, waiting to get it back in the spoon as soon as it tries to flee the bowl, of course."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nods. "That makes a lot of sense, sir."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Indeed it does, Cam. Indeed it does."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet is totally with Aeryn on this one.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick can't figure out why his students are smacking themselves in the face. Is this a new trend? If so, then it sure is a strange one.

Rory stares in horror from her seat in the back.

"Littlw Wooden Boy is gone?"

Re: Question?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I picked mine by drinking a lot of coffee and letting Major K! talk me into it, for instance," Rory offers.

Re: Question?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yes, that's another way. Have Major K! around. You'll get a superhero name eventually."

Re: Project Discussion

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Err... Yes. There was an..." Tick glared at Lockheed. Lockheed snored. "... incident. I'm sorry."

Re: Project Discussion

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory wishes she could pull an Anakin wants to cry out in anguish, but alas, is reluctant to do so in the middle of class.

She instead looks over at Lockheed. "What did he ever do to you?"

Re: Project Discussion

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Vala reaches over to pat Rory on the shoulder, while giving Lockheed an angry glare.

Re: Project Discussion

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Lockheed shrugged and gave an apologetic look, thinking /It was for the big guy's own good./
