fandomhigh | 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!"

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."

"Nine? Egads, that's impressive! Good work, Anakin!"

"I was devoted to the cause of Justice pretty early, sir," Anakin said.

Vala raised an eyebrow. Show-off.

Anakin raised an eyebrow back, a little smugly. Doesn't mean it's not true.

Rory quirked a brow and wondered if she was ever going to get used to hearing things like that. She smiled encouragingly nonetheless.

Anakin gave her a small smile back.

Logan rolled his eyes.

Snickering? Rolling his eyes?

Lockheed was surprised to realize that he might have a lot in common with Logan.

Anakin rolled his eyes back, and added a glare for good measure.

Logan extended his middle finger in Anakin's direction, then casually scratched at his chin with it.

Rory caught the gesture and rolled her eyes at Logan. She mentally put on her TA hat.

"Logan, if you can't be polite with your fellow students, you might as well not show up."

Anakin smirked.

Logan looked at Rory and Anakin, then his hand shot into the air. "Professor The Tick, sir, I have a question."

"Yes, Logan?" Tick asked.

Logan folded his hands on the desk in front of him. "Would you consider it a crime to steal a person's thoughts?"

Rory turned to Anakin. "And Anakin, don't provoke him. And do you even know that sign he made means?" she asked, carefully keeping her tone exactly the same as it had been with Logan.

"It means my chin itched," Logan explained.

"Also? He once Banthabelled in the name of Justice."

"Yup, still hate you."

"But at least it's a constant love, right?"

"There's no kind of love here," Anakin said, rolling his eyes.

"Liar. But it's okay, I'm flattered. I'm already taken actually but I am flattered."

"I'll cry myself to sleep tonight," Anakin deadpanned. "Really."

"I knew it."
