You can find the layout of the music room here and Ted's office here.

Chairs are set up around the big round table and there are copies of the syllabus (and OOC class stuff) on the table. Ted was sitting at the front of the classroom near the blackboard.

"Welcome to Music 201: Music of the Multiverse dudes and dudettes! My name is Ted 'Theodore' Logan and I am your guide through the totally triumphantly wild and wacky world...s. In this class you're gonna learn about some most excellent music from all around the multiverse. But first, important stuff. Classes are way better with food. The Twinkies and junk food you see in front of you are totally for scarfing during class dudes. Go for it! If you've got any, like, food that you want, tell me and I'll try to get it.

"Every week we're gonna talk about one or two places in the multiverse and I'm gonna tell you about the music they use there. Then we're gonna have a discussion or an in-class project to work on. It's totally gonna be fun, dudes! So, like, make sure you talk and stuff because that's what you get graded on mostly. Every few weeks there'll be a small project to work on, and at the end of it all, there'll be a big class project.

"Oh! Let me introduce you to your TA, Little Boy Blue Eyes Dude." Ted gestured to Crichton. "He has a key to the equipment room like me. If you need to get to the music equipment, like instruments and stuff, you can ask him or ask me. Um, I can't think of any more non-musicy stuff to talk about, so let's get on with the fun stuff!"

He got a piece of chalk and drew a somewhat straight line on the blackboard. He added a few things.

"Music started a long time ago. Back when cavemen were banging on rocks and playing with dinosaurs. Music is a normal part of how humans turn out and stuff. They make rhythms and noises and they like patterns. That's how music starts. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's weird. But in most times and places you'll find some kind of music. Music is how people express how they feel. Music can make you feel certain ways, like with movie music. When the bad guy is coming, you know it because the music tells you that he's bad, that he's around and that you shouldn't like him. Music can make you happy like REM's Shiny Happy People, sad like Elton John's I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues or angry and want to stab people like REM's Shiny Happy People."

Discussion Topic
"For the rest of today, I want you to tell the class who you are, where you come from, what music is like where you're from and what your favorite sugary treat is."

Callisto choked on her twinkie.

John laughs quietly. "Everything okay there, Callisto?"

Callisto was too busy trying to breathe to answer Crichton.

"Oh, I must've gotten it wrong then," John says wickedly. "Callisto likes angel food cake with chocolate on top."

"Kill...you..." Callisto wheezed as she finally got the offending snackfood dislodged.

John just smiles cockily at her.

"Chocolate and whipped cream?" John asks with a raise of his eyebrow. "Or are you just sugary ravisher of your treats?"

Callisto decided that it was useless arguing with Crichton.

So she picked up a handful of twinkies and attempted to smush them into his face.

John's about to throw another barb when he catches a handful of twinkies in the face. The cream goes up his nose and in his eyes.

He just sits there mildly shocked for a moment.

And then he retaliates. Maybe it'll be a bad touch but he grabs a handful of Doritos and dropped them down the front of Callisto's shirt.

"Dude," Ted called. "You'd better eat that before it falls on the ground. Number one rule - no wasting the twinkies dude."

"Yes, sir!" John continues laughing at Callisto and eats the bits of Twinkies off his face. Still good!
