[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.]

"He's not my type!" Angel said, his voice muffled as he kept his head buried in his arms.

"Is it the puka shells?" Marty asked, "because I would think a guy who dates a girl in a leather bikini wouldn't be hung up over fashion. Then again look who I'm talking about."

"It's not the anything! I don't like him that way! Besides his necklace has a cross on it!"

There might be more thudding against the desk.

~~"A cross? So it's a religious thing?"~~

"Well, if you say so. I'm not one to start spreading rumors about somebody's love life. ~~Unless it's Jaye.~~ Though you two do spend a lot of time together."

~~"Please. If he was Catholic this wouldn't even be a conversation."~~

"We're just friends! No more! And we didn't have sex!"

"Right no sex. Just friends. Nothing more than that," Marty said nodding in agreement. "I'm convinced. 100%. Besides if you did have sex with someone else, Callisto would have dusted you."

"Exactly!" Angel said, finally lifting his head up. "See? Why can't more people be logical like you?"

"It's all Jaye's fault. Everyone's obsessed with this boykissy thing now," Marty said in a low voice. "Now everyone assumes that when two men spend more than normal time together it involves teh kissing of the boys. It's a conspiracy I tell you."

"Nobody's kissing my boys without me being aware of it. You gotta draw the line somewhere."

"Right. No kissing of the boys unless it involves a life or death circumstance. Or getting cracked on the head while the other person is under a love spell," Marty said nodding. "One has to maintain the boundries."

"Exactly! I don't think that's so unreasonable."

"Of course after the whole boykissy poll thing is done with, you'll probably have a hard time explaining that you don't like Logan in that way."

"Oh I'm not going to kiss Logan."

"Really? I thought Bel and Logan both tied for kissing you."

"They did," Angel said. "But I'm not going to kiss Logan."
