[ooc: Hi! I have nothing to say, really. But there's always an OOC note. Oh! Wait, yes I do. I would totally have your grades for your essays up today, but um, still missing them from a couple people. If you don't get them in by this weekend? I'm not grading them, and you're going down a grade. Letting you know. Anyway. Class Info Post]

Rory sat on Tick's desk, looking very, very grumpy. All her limbs were still attached, though, and she was nursing a large cup of coffee.

"So. Hi. Professor Tick unfortunately couldn't be here today, so I'll be leading the discussion today."


"Last class, we talked about how Justice is implemented in Fandom. Do you guys think what happens around here is fair, as a whole? Furthermore, and this isn't just in Fandom, but do you think Justice can ever be viewed as subjective? Or, rather, the way said Justice is implemented.

I mean, let's say that someone, for instance, had nothing to do with the casting of a play, and she got horribly punished anyway, because the person who got cast thought it was in the name of Jusice to curse her, or something? Is that right, or wrong? Whoever cursed this person probably thought they were doing it for the good of the school, but they were misguided. Some might argue that Justice had become more like revenge then.

Once Justice is enacted due to a personal vendetta of sorts, does it cross the line from objective, fair Justice to subjective revenge? Or is there a middle ground? Discuss. And if you want to know what I'm talking about, ask me about my arms and legs. Seriously. I dare you."

Rory scowled, and paused. "Um, and for extra credit? Give me names of people who could conceivably cast a curse or whatever. Who live here. Who don't like plays, or brunettes, or something. Oh! And Logan, I need to talk to you when you have a second. After class, if it needs to be."

"Something like that."

Rory gave a quick yank on her wrist, and her arm came cleanly off. She held it up and waved at Cameron with the hand on the arm in question.

"So, how far is too far is the question, I guess," she said, poking her arm back into place. "I'm sure whoever did this to me didn't think they were going too far."

Cameron wrinkled his nose. "Dude, gross. Although, it is kinda neat? Does it hurt?"

He shrugged, "Yeah, probably way too far here."

"Doesn't hurt at all," Rory said, shaking her head. "And I'm getting better at not having them randomly fall off, and stuff."

She sighed. "But who decides how far is too far?"

He scratched the back of his neck. "At least that's something. Here I was thinking seeing in black and white sucked."

"The law?"

"But if you're acting outside the law to begin with, that doesn't work," Rory said. "And wait, you're seeing in black and white? Did you hit your head?"

"Maybe that's because the law in that instance is lacking?" Cameron wondered if he was going to get a headache to go with the eyesight. "No, I didn't even eat cafeteria food."
