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."

Who are you, where do you come from, what is music like where you're from and what is your favorite sugary treat?

Talk to Ted, dude!

If you need it.

Callist grabbed a twinkie and signed in.

John signs in.

John stands up and goes first.

"I'm John Crichton from Earth. North Carolina to be precise," he says with a little salute. "Music from Earth is very diverse. From ABBA to ZZ Top and everything in between, you're gonna find something for everyone. Instrumental, screeching, Blue Oyster Cult's cowbell and women who can cut glass with their voices. Sugary treat? Definitely Ho-Ho's. Or a funnel cake!"

"I'm Callisto. I'm from a small ~~ex-~~village in Thrace named Cirra. Music back home has a lot of gaida, drums, and women's choirs are very big too. And I really like jellybeans."

Han signs in.

"Hey, professor?" Jake wandered in, add slip in hand.

John coughs and says, "And angel food cake."

Callisto choked on her twinkie.

Chloe signed in, declining the Twinkies...for now.

Han shtands up, a half-grin on his face. "Han Solo. I'm from Corellia, which is one of the Inner Systems in a whole different galaxy. But I haven't been there in about three years. We have all kinds of music back home. I like clan songs, which sound a lot like what Earthers call Irish folk music, and Corelli pop, the filthier the better." He half sits down then gets back up. "And when it comes to sugar--that isn't Coach Ash's kind--I'm crazy about baklava and jelly doughnuts."

"Hey.. Dude I Don't Know! What's up?"

Yuffie signs in, grinning at the pile of junkfood. Oh, she was going to like this class.

Jake blinked a little at the greeting, but continued, "Uh, I was wondering if you still had space left in your class? Because, um, if you do, I'd like to join."

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

Chloe waves a little as she looks around the class.

"I'm Chloe Sullivan, and I'm from Smallville, Kansas. Which, uh, is on Earth. Like John said, Earth music is pretty diverse, although some areas are less diverse than others. My hometown gets about three good rock stations, and then all the rest are country. Oh, and I like pretty much anything that has chocolate in it or on it."

"There's plenty of room, dude!" He grabbed his class roster. "What's your name?"

Jake beamed happily. "Jake Gavin junior." He held out the add slip. "Oh, and could you sign this for me?"

Yuffie stood up, having to finish her bite of twinkee before she spoke. "My name is Yuffe Kisagari, and I'm from Wutia. Which is on Gaia. Which is a totally different world. Anyways, music is pretty diverse on Gaia, too- There's this one band? 'Charlie and the Chocobos"? That really rocks. And Wutia is famous for these drum guys, which is pretty cool too." Yuffie was thoughtful for a minute. "I like blue rasberry stuff alot, cause it turns you tongue blue."

((and now I have to be off to work. Be back about 5 cental time.))

Callisto was too busy trying to breathe to answer Crichton.

"No problem dude." Ted scribbled his signature on the piece of paper after writing Jake's name down. "You missed today's class, but we just did the intro thing, so grab a class info sheet off the table and you're all caught up. Next class is tomorrow, period 7. No homework. See you then dude!"

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