Advanced Criminal Justice, Class #5, Period 1, 01.24.06

[OOC: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bridge_carson for the random inspiration for this class. Low-impact and character-rich? Woo. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was sitting at his desk looking slightly tired. Lockheed wasn't in class today. It was probably going to be an easy discussion.

"Hello, class! Lockheed is not with us today. He had something else to take care of. Today, we're taking a slight detour in our discussion. Today, we're talking about your experiences."

"I know that we have a lot of people from different cultures here, so I thought it would be keen to talk a little about Justice in your original environment! Please share some information with the class about a Justice organization from your home. It can be a superhero team, the military police, your local sheriff's department, or even the occasional lone individual who tries to write the wrongs in the world. As long as they are for justice and, I suppose, according to my earlier statement, are organized, share that bit of you with us!"

"Your metaphor of the week is the shift key on a keyboard."

"For extra credit that is actually related to the lecture for once, please name your favorite Defender of Justice from your home!"

Metaphor:

Justice is like the shift key in that there's a lot of people who are too lazy to use it and, much as you might sympathize with the urge, you really think they're just being annoying and should get over it already.

Extra Credit:

Angel looked around nervously. Talk about awkward. He scribbled his answer down and hoped that Tick and Rory would be the only ones who read it.

My favorite defender of Justice from home is Buffy Summers. She's a young girl who took on a destiny that would have shattered most people. Every single night she's out fighting the forces of darkness. Even when things are at their worst Buffy refuses to surrender to hopelessness and despair. When trouble comes Buffy is out on the forefront, ready to fight it. She's strong, brave, beautiful, always reaches out to others, doesn't let her destiny keep her from making friends, and she tries to do what's best for the world, even if what's best means making hard decisions like killing her boyfriend when he turns evil. If more people could meet the Buffy I know, I bet they'd be inspired by her.

Angel quickly folded the paper up and handed it in.
