Yakko's World, Thursday, Period 2

When class started, the lights turned out briefly before a spotlight started sweeping across the stage. An announcer (Yakko) announced, "It's time for that semesterly game show, LETS. TAKE. A FINAL! And here's the host of Let's Take a Final, Yakkooooooooooooooo WAAAAAAAAARNEEEEEEEEEER."

Yakko entered through the door as the spotlight caught him. Once he jogged to a podium in the front of the room, the lights turned back on and Yakko was ready to start.

"Welcome to Let's Take a Final, everyone! We have three rounds here to let you know whether or not you pass the class, so step right up!"

And wonder what you've gotten yourselves into in this class for the final time.

"We're going to start off easy here. This final is for a geography class, after all, so let's get to geographing! As I so famously did back in the 90s, all you have to do is recite every country in the world in an order of your choosing. Keep in mind, this is today's world, and accuracy in naming counts. Let's get started!"

[OOC: No need to actually list every country in the world, no matter how unlikely it is your character would get it. Just describe how they did and react to the completely unfair question if you'd like.]

"You didn't say which world, so I choose Mars," Ace decided. "Countries in alphabetical order: .........."

After a pause she added, "And just to show off, in order of joining the European Union: ........."

Somewhere, an Ice Warrior was glaring at her.

"As it turns out, we don't have QUITE enough countries in the world. So let's fix that! Everyone here is going to come up with their own country that will exist for the next ten minutes. I'll need a name, the official title of the country's ruler (meaning you), and the chief export, like corn or bootleg DVDs. For extra credit, start a war with another country and beat them in a single round of rock-paper-scissors. Ties aren't ties, they're losses for both countries."

"And now we come to the final round... The one that will officially determine your score... The one that will render everything you've done the past hour completely meaningless... Here on the stage, we have a privacy booth containing three boxes. Pick Box #1, Box #2, or Box #3 to find out what grade you've won! The rest of your classmates can't see or hear what happens inside the booth, but I can and our home audience definitely can!"

"So step in the booth and get picking!"

For every student, Box #1 would contain a card with the letter B. Box #2 would contain a card with the letter A. Box #3 would contain a bunny wearing a top hat. A note on the hat read, "C. You do not get to keep the bunny. He is just here to make you feel better about your C.

Ace got the B box.

Then frowned and tried the other two. "Bunny!"

She'd be over in the corner wearing a top hat, enjoying her C, and petting the rabbit until somebody took it away from her.

"Well, that's all we have time for today! I've been Yakko Warner, and this has been.... LETS. TAKE. A FINAAAAAAAAL!"

After the show.

I saw a bunny yesterday!
