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!"

Hand in your homework (if you worked on it during class) and/or present your EC.

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: Turn Stuff In

[fates_jaye]

During class, Jaye has torn out a page from her notebook, folded it into thirds, and made a little nameplate that says "SNARK AVENGER" that she places on her desk for all to see.

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."

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

Callisto made and pinned a namebadge to the front of her armour.

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

"Remember the nametag before you punch anyone out for staring at your chest," Jaye advises.

Marty tears out a page from his notebook and made a little nameplate that says:

"SUPER SNARK AVENGER^TM"

*looks briefly at name tag*

*Sees where it is located*

*starts looking at the ceiling*

Re: Turn Stuff In

[fates_jaye]

Jaye looks over and sees this, then tears out another page to write "MARTY DOES IT WITH FERRETS" and tape it to the front of her desk for all to see.

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

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

Cameron's really not laughing. Not at all.

Re: Talk

[fates_jaye]

"I... Um. How about past lives? Do those count?"

Re: Talk

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

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?

"Oh, y'know, the usual chaos and mayhem type things."

Re: Talk

Lockheed perked up and smiled at Aeryn.

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

Re: Talk

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"No, just this life, please."

Cameron hands in his homework; "Justice is a mule. It can carry the weight of an entire society up a sloping hill, but when evil men with corrupt plans try to force her onto the wrong path, she will not move for them and remain stubbornly in place until the right superhero comes along to guide her back to her shiny, keen destination of peace."

Cameron frowns and raises his hand. "Sir. Can a sidekick's name be used as a superhero's name as well? Otherwise I already have one."

Re: Turn Stuff In

[janet_fraiser]

Janet made a paper name plate with her superhero name--Napoleonic Powermonger.

She also handed in her homework--The strong back of Justice can carry a heavy load.

She's a little out of practice with her metaphors after break.

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."

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