Criminal Justice Class 23

[OOC: He's back! And after a couple pretty serious classes, it's time to have some fun! Weeeeeee! And this is up a little extra early today because I am, too. Back to sleep for another hour, though! Class Info Link.]

*The Tick is at the podium, looking excited and maybe just a bit nervous. This was his first class in two weeks, after all. On his desk is his gradebook. It has, for some reason, some turkey feathers on it. There may be a story there. Lockheed is perched atop his normal bookcase.*

Hello, students! It's been a while! I understand that class has been good in my absence. I have to take a moment to thank Lockheed and Rory for filling in while I was taking care of a situation back home. Thank you both! You're extremely keen for helping me out like that!

A few points of note before our discussion today: First, extra credit should be given to Rory since I don't even know what it is. Second, remember, the end of term is less than a month away. You should probably start looking over your notes soon so you aren't caught unprepared at the last minute. Third, you'll get your quizzes back on Tuesday. Sorry for the delay, but things have been hectic.

And finally, we will be having a special class a week from Tuesday. On December 13th, we will be having a panel discussion. The panel will consist of four of my fellow superheroes from The City. Each one has a unique perspective on heroism and Justice, so it should be a fun time. For the people who aren't playing all four of them, plus Tick and Lockheed, at least. For people like that, we'll have a pool going for how long it takes before the mun's head explodes. Come prepared with plenty of questions for them!

Finally, our discussion. Put aside any ethical objections you may have to hunting. We're going to be looking at it from a strictly legal perspective.

I have reports of at least one incident where a hunter was misled by anthropomorphic animals - who have, it should be noted, pretty keen minds and are from the same dimension as our old friend Mr. Road Runner - into thinking that it was rabbit season when it was, in fact, duck season. Now, this man, Mr. Elmer Fudd, is a professional hunter, fully licensed for hunting and handling firearms. If he is tricked by the animals into shooting an out-of-season animal - such as a rabbit, a goat, a mongoose, a dirty skunk, or a baseball - what should happen to Mr. Fudd? Should he be punished? Lose his hunting license? Or should he get off because he was tricked? And should anything be done to the animals who performed this trickery?

Discuss!

Cameron might comment about how the hunter should be better informed if he's going to do something that could potentially dangerous. As it is, he kinda gets distracted at the thought of hunting.

Lifting his muzzle, he sniffs up the air. Is that a mouse scent? He jumps from the seat he has taken and starts sniffing around the floor as if he's following some kind of trail.

Vala is too busy snerking at CamPuppy to answer right away, but The Tick isn't someone who can lose your attention for long.

"Well, if he was really tricked, then I don't think he should be punished, just maybe warned to not trust, you know, sneaky talking animals.

"Yeah," she says, warming to her subject. "He should be warned to check with official sources about the actual season. And the animals should be punished somehow... and made to keep from tricking any other idiots they can find."

Vala looks pleased with her answer.

The trail leads Crunchwolf Cameron underneath several of the tables and he ends up walking over a lot of feet from his fellow students. Until he finally reaches a part that smells fresher. He speeds up, dashing between Tick's legs and underneath the teacher's desk until he finds a small crack in the wall and starts barking at it.

This instinct thing kinda blows.

((*looks up* What? It's just 4:30 now... you should talk! :-p))

"Well then I think they should definitely be tried! I mean they're trying to get other animals killed illegally, right? Shouldn't that count as murder or something?"

Food. Cameron sniffed it, gobbled it down and then looked up hopeful at the Tick.

Oh man, he's being bribed for something that should be natural. Cameron whines softly and goes back to his desk.

"Yeah!" Vala looks very pleased with herself.


((and it's 5:30a.m. and her mun is going to bed! -- after gleeing at getting to be on-time to a The Tick class for once!))

Vala pats him sympathetically on the head.

Cameron curls up, tucks his nose under his tail and watches the class quietly.

"First, if a hunter is claiming that a talking rabbit convinced him that it was duck season and not rabbit season, I should think that the first order of business would be to put the hunter into a psychiatric facility. I mean come on! A talking rabbit? If it was a rhyming toaster I might be able to believe him."

Marty then idly wonders why the Tick never takes any class material from his favorite TV series... Crime and Justice, Crime and Justice: SUV, and Crime and Justice: Illegal Intentions.

Cameron would point out that Red looks like a talking canine, but Marty wouldn't understand him anyway.

Marty pulls out the rubber ball that he always has on hand for Vladdie and begins to toss it up in the air.

If Marty could read dog!boy's mind, he'd probably say that until a talking bunny shows up in fandom Marty will stick to his statement.

Cameron follows the ball as Marty throws it up and down. His entire attention focuses on the ball and nothing but the ball. It's bouncy. Cameron likes bouncy. He sits up, his whole stance showing that he's ready to jump.

When Marty catches the ball again and is about to throw it up, Cameron launches from the desk. It's a pretty impressive jump for a cub, especially one that is as uncoordinated as Cameron is right now. That's about all there is to it. He completely misses the ball, sends things flying from Marty's desk as he lands on it. Try as he might, he can't find anything to keep him on the desk and he slides right off it and onto Marty's lap, looking very dazed.

Aeryn really wishes she remembered that camera thing.

Jaye totally remembered that camera thing, and makes use of it, because awwwwww.

Marty chuckles and scratches the pup's neck and behind the ears.

He then picks up the ball from the floor and does a fake hand throw of the ball to see if the pup will fall for it.

"All the people- animals?- involved should be punished, actually," Aeryn says. "If this Fudd person goes through with the crime, then he deserves some sort of punishment for his stupidity, though the... rabbit? or... whatever tricked him, then he's partially at fault for whatever happens."

Sometimes Aeryn can't believe she has to say words like this.

Jaye looks around for Rory, but doesn't see her yet, so she raises her hand. "I always liked the duck best anyway. Hey, Mr. The Tick, sir?" She pulls a book out of her bag, and shows it to him. It's Magic for Morons: The Secrets of Illusion Revealed for Schmucks Like You, by GOB Bluth.
