Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 21, Period 1, 03.28.06

[OOC: Keeping with the low-impact lectures. Wheee. I may be slow to reply at work today, just FYI. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class!" Tick said fron his normal position at the front of the room. "Remember, your projects are due next Tuesday. You'll have some time to work on them at the end of class, but today we go back to lecture and discussion as well."

"Today we'll be talking about private investigators. PIs. Private eyes. Private smurfs," Tick said to cover up any potentially dirty interpretation of a popular nickname. "Gumshoes. Among many other names. The profession of Holmes, Spade, Magnum, and Addison. I'm talking about the sometimes noble, sometimes skeezy, always interesting, world of private detecting."

"PIs often work for people in court cases for a number of purposes. Maybe they're checking to make sure a witness or defendant is on the up-and-up. Sometimes they're checking to see if a person with a signifcant other has another other that is in some way significant. And sometimes they're called upon to solve the big crimes that the police just can't figure out."

"In a way, they're almost like superheroes, only without powers, with a salary, and with more frequent trips into the bad parts of town for non-evil-whomping purposes. They outthink evil. And that's keen!"

"For discussion today, please talk aboutyour views on private eyeing. Have any experience with them? Seen them enough on television to know what's up? Are you one. and if so, do you have any stories to share? After this discussion, you can jump into your teams for the project if you need class time to work on them."

"This week's metaphor is umbrellas. And for extra credit, please come up with two more nicknames for private investigators. IF you get suggestive with the private smurves, though, you can only do so for one of the nicknames. So keep it clean!"

[OOC: Veronica has offered to answer questions about PIs.]

"Technically, I'm neurotic," Marty replied. "So who is this 'Noir' guy? Is he a townie because the only french dude I know around here is Pip and you are sooooo not his type."
fates_jaye: (i look at you funny)

Jaye raises his hand. "Professor Mr. The Tick? I think Marty needs to go to the clinic for his broked brain because eeeeeeew!"

"Just fine Professor Mr. The Tick! I'm just making sure that I don't need to make a new glitter flag for Jaye any time soon."
fates_jaye: (pouting)

Marty pouts, but offers Lockheed a cookie because he seems to totally understand.

As it's kinda hard not to notice the whole calling out for Tick thing, Cameron raises an eyebrow at Jaye. He hasn't learned the eyebrow communication skill from a Jaffa yet, but he might be checking to see if she's alright.
fates_jaye: (half face)

Jaye might still be pouting a little. But she waves.

Cameron mouths 'flags' and he might wave back too.
fates_jaye: (normal)

'Marty's on crack,'" she mouths back.

"This is new?" He whispers.

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 21]

[personal profile] fates_jaye 2006-03-28 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"This is a new, special kind that they should warn the school about," she whisperes back.

"Think it's contagious?" He asks softly.
fates_jaye: (direction)

"I hope not," she says back. Completely serious.

Cameron nods in agreement. Marty crack might be dangerous. "Why flags?"
fates_jaye: (shine on)

"Flags are shippy," she says. "Apparently he wants to ship me with a film genre."

"Oh," Cameron frowns and stares at Jaye. "Why?"
fates_jaye: (jaye does stuff)

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 21]

[personal profile] fates_jaye 2006-03-28 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because of all the crack ruining his brain!"

"Right, so crack makes you want to ship people with movie genres. Can I ship Aeryn with action movies and John with farce?"
fates_jaye: (for i am jaye)

"I don't know, I'm not on crack!"

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 21]

"But the question is who would you ship if you were?" He grins.
