Life Soundtrack - Period 3, Thursday

[captainskullpoopl]

If anyone expected this class to start with something other than a song, they were clearly not paying enough attention to the movie Deadpool came from. There was a Deadpool, sitting on his desk at the front of the room, rocking out to this piece of musical gold.

So. There was that.

And no, he wasn't going to talk until the song was over. "Angel of the Morning, Juice Newton, 1981. A classic. Made all the more classic by playing it in combination with non-stop violence."

You know, if you were into that sort of thing.

"Hello, and welcome to whatever I named this class. I don't really feel like looking it up, but you get bonus points if you can name it. And by bonus points, I mean nothing at all." Aren't you kids glad you took this class and not the other music class? No? Well screw you! "Okay, who are you, what are you hoping to learn here, yadda yadda yadda. I don't really care that much, but it seems to be a theme in what we do this week. So many introduction threads. So, so many."

Which may or may not make a lick of sense to anyone in the classroom, but would make perfect sense to the audience. No, the real audience.

"My name is Wade Wilson, but I go by Deadpool because all the cool kids have codenames these days. I'm a Scorpio and I like long walks on the beach and stabbing the fuck out of people who are a darker shade of grey morally because I'm an edgy anti-hero who makes box office bank, bitches!"

He held up a hand for a highfive and then used his other hand to deliver it.

"Oh! And make sure to pick a theme song for yourself. And I swear to god, if any of you little fuckers pick Nickelback, I will not hesitate to mercilessly belittle you until you cry and run out of here like this is some Carrie shit. They are an abomination and stain on the good country of Canada."

Listen to the... Lecture?

[captainskullpoopl]

Well. It was certainly something.

Re: Listen to the... Lecture?

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

Was... was she in the right classroom? Mabel pulled out a sparkly rainbow Lisa Frank notebook and flipped through it to find her schedule.

...

Yeah, yeah, she was definitely in the right classroom. Huh!

Re: Listen to the... Lecture?

[snipsnspecks]

Well, this was...a class.

Maybe the most confusing part of this whole thing was why Deadpool was dressed like a generic Spider-Man knockoff. But everything else was a solid number two on that list.

Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

We haven't had enough of that yet. Seriously, there's another day of this shit. Deal with it.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it was a class about music, and Mabel did like music, so maybe this wouldn't be so bad?

It was just, wow, the teacher was pretty preoccupied with violence and coarse language. She hadn't seen that coming.

"I'm Mabel Pines, and I don't do any stabbing really, but I did once use a leaf blower to fend off a giant stack of gnomes that wanted to kidnap me away and marry me so that I could be their gnome queen for all eternity." She shrugged. It was basically normal! "And if I had to pick my own theme song, I think it would be something 80s and crowd-pleasing, like Don't Start Unbelieving. That one's a classic!"

"That is so adorably copyright friendly," Deadpool said. Because it really was, okay? "Did Journey not want to give the rights over? I mean, they gave it to Glee and whoa boy did that shit off the rails fast. Ammiright?"

He held up a hand for a high five. This time for her.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

It was possible that Mabel had finally met somebody who made less sense than Old Man McGucket. She blinked, and then reached up for that high five anyway.

Look, the teacher was confusing, but she wasn't about to leave him hanging, here.

"I don't actually know what that is!"

But at least she was saying so with some attempt at enthusiasm?

[giveherahand]

Mara was raising her eyebrows at the whole...ensemble. "I prefer music from my own galaxy," she said, "but Redheaded Woman by Bruce...something," is pretty good.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

Well not everyone could wear fancy bathrobes all day long!

"Oooo, suspiciously human looking aliens," Deadpool replied. "And Springsteen. Good choice. You can stick around."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[sampippy]

"I'm Xanthippe Voorhees." Just don't, Wade. Just... don't. "And, like, I don't have a theme song."

Which was to say she'd had an internal dilemma between picking something she actually liked versus something that would make her seem cool, and the whole process had only come out to what was best described as a critical error.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF HIM, NARRATIVE.

"I'm gonna pick something shitty if don't, Xanadu."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[snipsnspecks]

"I'm Ahsoka and I don't really have a theme song." She actually had a leitmotif, not that she was aware of this, it was more she hadn't exactly been in a position to even think about music at all for a while. What kinds of music did they even play here?

Re: Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

Awesome music. That's what they played here.

"Aww, sad orchestral music," Deadpool said. Because it was so sad! And not even John Williams sad. "It's no DMX, that's for sure."

RE: Introduce Yourself

[notcancelled.livejournal.com]

"I'm Mayday Parker and I'm another person without a theme song," Mayday said. "But if I had to choose one, let's go with Roundball Rock (https://youtu.be/fZKX-cf_p90). A classic basketball theme."

And like her, it was created in the 90s. Although because of sliding timelines, she was actually too young to know how insane it was that John Tesh wrote and performed something that was legitimately pretty awesome.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

"High five!" Because that was almost as cool as his Deadpool rap. "This is the closest I'm gonna get to Sony owned properties until Disney controls everything."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[sciclone]

Okay, this teacher was maybe slightly unnerving.

"Hey, I'm Cosima," Cosima said. "I'm really not much for the whole fighting thing. More into the science thing. I'm basically just here because, y'know, I like music."

She shrugged.

"And I don't really listen to music with lyrics that mean stuff, but my favorite song right now is 'Treats' by Sleigh Bells. Let's call that my theme song."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[captainskullpoopl]

Well, comparing him to the actual serial killer on campus...

"Just as long as you don't use science for evil I'm down with that, my friend." Because reasons. "Lyrics that mean stuff?"

Re: Introduce Yourself

[justwantedfriends]

"Um. I'm Kira Yukimura, and I don't have a song, unless maybe Foxey Lady counts? For like, actual fox reasons, not sexy reasons." Yeah, that didn't make it better, Kira.

Talk to the Teacher

[captainskullpoopl]

"I'm still a delight."

Yes, he was holding a grudge against previous OCD.

OOC
