Advanced Criminal Justice (Class 1), Period 2, 01.10.05

[OOC: It's good to be back! Now using limited OCD threads! Class Info Post.]

The Tick is standing at a podium in the front of the room. Lockheed is back on top of a specific bookcase in the room. Furthermore, there is a squid in a bowl on Tick's desk. On the bowl is a note reading "LOST SQUID." Once all the students have filed in, The Tick hands out the syllabi which are just the C.I.P. linked above but more IC, shh and speaks to the class.

"Hello, students! In case you were unaware, I am Professor Tick and I shall be your guide in this mysterious land that we call Justice! This semester we will be taking on subjects that are... Well, actually, I don't know what they are yet, but they should be keen! "

"A couple orders of business to take care of. First, since this is an advanced class, you'll be expected to do a bit more than you did last semester. Therefore, you have weekly homework now. More on that later. You will also have two quizzes, a paper, a group project, and the Final Exam at the end of the year. I'm confident that you will all survive these trials, though! And there will be weekly extra credit, of course."

"Now let's get to a little discussion! It's light stuff today, class. Stand up, give your name, and tell the class something you've done in the Name of Justice!"

"Every week, you will have a homework assignment. The assignment is called The Weekly Metaphor! Each week I'll give you a prompt and you will have to use your fine metaphor skills to make the prompt relate to Justice in some way. [OOC: See the duck question on last semester's final to see how this works.] This week's prompt is mules."

"And finally, I'm giving you the opportunity to do weekly extra credit. This week's EC Prompt is: come up with a superhero name for yourself."

"Extra Credit and The Weekly Metaphor must be turned in on Thursday [OOC: Or in slowplay terms, by class on the following Tuesday.] Again, I look forward to all of your contributions throughout the next 16 weeks. Go ahead and discuss!"

Jaye stands up, as per instructions. "Hi, I'm Jaye who be technically not taking this class, and I've... Um. Does this in-the-name-of-justice thing have to be recent?"

Re: Talk

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"No, Jaye," Tick said. "It doesn't have to be recent. Most of my favorite Feats For Justice happened years ago!"

Archie is not looking in Jaye's direction. Not even from behind his notebook. He really isn't.

Callisto's eyes nearly bugged out of her head when she saw Cam-mollusc sitting on the Tick's desk. She'd been looking for him everywhere, how in Tartarus did he get down here?

"My name's Callisto, and I have raised an army gathered and led a group of like minded individuals in the Name of Vengeance Justice."

"Your own super-team?" Tick asked. "Keen! Good for you! What kinds of deeds did you do?"

If Angel sat right next to Callisto that was sheer coincidence. Yup. Yessiree.

"I'm Aeryn and... I killed a few evil ducks, is that what you mean?"

Re: Talk

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Lockheed perked up and smiled at Aeryn.

Tick said, "Those ducks were nasty. That example will do just fine, Aeryn."

"My name is Martin Blank and I bashed Angel's head before he could get the big happy and kill us all."

Re: Talk

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto did not make a mental note to make sure Marty wasn't around next time she had a date with Angel.

Aeryn is not going to explain the stupidity of 'sex = perfect happiness = omg we're all dead' loophole in the middle of class. Though she is tempted for a minute.

"I'm Cameron Mitchell and I once was a C.R.A.C.K. member in the name of Justice."

Janet ran into class, out of breath and not carrying her usual backpack. If you knew her, you might think it would be because she'd spent the night at Daniel's apartment and sprinted back to campus to make it into class on time. Which, of course, she would never do. Because that would be against school rules.

"Hi," she said after she caught her breath.. "My name is Janet Fraiser and--" She tried to remember something that wasn't classified. "I helped with the School Beautification Group just before Parents Weekend." Cleaning up the school after a gremlin vandalism attack counted as Justice, right?

Sam waved as she stood up. "Hi, I'm Sam Carter. Er, I watch vigilantly for potential evildoers especially in my Tactics of War class."

Archie stands up, clears his throat and is in no way looking at Jaye at all since she's technically not taking the class anyway and clasps his hands behind his back.

"My name is Archie Kennedy, and I was going to say that joining the Royal Navy was something I've done in the name of Justice. But that's not exactly true, since I was shipped off by my parents. I, er . . ." He pauses to arrange the wording in his head.

"I once took the initiative to help stop a corrupted individual from abusing a position of power?"

Logan stood up. "Hi, I'm Logan. Back home, my friends and I did our part to keep the local criminal element down."

Re: Talk

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm Angel. Before I came to Fandom I defended my hometown from demons and vampires. Also I saved the world a couple of times a year."

Angel thought about it.

"I also tried destroying the world that one time. Not sure if that cancels at least one of the saving times out."

Parker stands up and smiles. "Hi, I'm Parker, and the most recent thing I've done in the name of Justice is buy our Vice Principal vodka for a week."

Anakin looked around the class, seeing a number of faces who didn't look precisely thrilled to see him.

Well, and Rory. That had to count for something good, right?

He cleared his throat. "Um, I'm Anakin, and I once destroyed a Trade Federation floating donut-thing blockade from economically crippling a planet. Um, by using the mis-firing laser cannons of Justice to blow a hole into their walls of Inequity." He grinned. "It was cool. Also, I was nine."

Bridge bounces up.

"Hi! I'm Bridge Carson, which... I think everyone knows already, actually. Uhm, I joined SPD Academy in order to train to be a Power Ranger, who are defenders of peace and justice where I come from!" he grins and waves at everyone.

Vala stands. "I'm Vala Maldoran, and I kicked the ass of the parasite that had taken over my friend's body -- in the name of JUSTICE! And a healthy dose of revenge."

Rory smiled nervously. "I'm Rory Gilmore, and I'm the TA - er...sidekick for this class. And I grade your work. Fairly. That's a Just thing to do, right?"

"Hi, I'm Veronica and I, um," she glanced at Logan, nope better not use that one, then at Angel, or that one, then back at Logan, okay, that's out, too, "saved the mascot at my old school in the name of justice."

"Jack O'Neill sir! Two el's. I once cross-dressed in the name of Justice! But it was Kawalsky's idea."
