Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 24, Period 1, 04.06.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Projects can be presented as late as Tuesday, so take some time and have some fun if you want. Don't forget to wear hats for EC. If you'd like, the shop can probably generate a hat for you. And what follows is probably the shortest main body to a class post I've ever written. Class Info Post.]

"Welcome to the Danger Shop, class! Today are your presentations. When it's your turn, please get up, present your theory, and do whatever it is you're going to do with the shop! I can't wait to see what everyone came up with!"

Before Class [Class 24]

If Sam would like to establish she's here setting up the shop? Keen! If anyone else would talk to Tick before class starts? Also keen!

Cameron's early for class, possibly because he's excited about the smurfy project Archie and him will be setting up..

Sam was there bright and early. Or at least early and clutching a cup of coffee like she might run an I.V. line from it into her veins.

Jaye is here. Waiting for Aeryn. With props. And a revised script.

Group 2: Marty/Logan [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

With only one group member!

Group 3: Cameron/Archie [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Smurfy!

Cameron and Archie stand in front of the other students ready to start the simulation of their theory. Cameron taps the controls and everyone gets a view of the lovely Smurf Village. Additionally, Danger Shop also gives him a shiny helmet (http://farscape-caps.com/407/jq136.jpg).

"Day one," Cameron says, making sure he sounds dramatic. "This is Smurf Village, home of a peaceloving species called the Smurfs."

The view zooms in on one particular normal every day smurf. "Smurfs are usually friendly people and while they do get threatened by evil people outside of their home, they don't know crime in their village at all. In fact, Smurf Village is so peaceful that they don't even need a police. A remarkable feature indeed and we think we know why."

Group 4: Angel/Veronica [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Destiny, higher powers, and choices!

Re: Group 4: Angel/Veronica [Class 24]

Angel spent what was perhaps far too much time showing Sam the many, MANY sketches he'd drawn of what a proper 18th century opera house should look like.

He then sat back and let the Danger Room Shop do its thing.

He looked tired, like he'd gotten almost no sleep the night before.

"Hey," Veronica greeted him. She was a little more subdued than usual, thinking about everything that happened last night and wanting to call Weevil to find out what happened to Allie and how he got involved. "I brought hats for us to wear for extra credit," she said, pulling two of the pink, frilly hats from the tea party out of her bag.

Angel stared at her.

Veronica grinned and leaned over to put one of the hats on his head.

Angel leaned back, taking shameless advantage of the height difference.

Veronica had no problem with fighting dirty.

"You and Bel were pretty hot last night," she said in an effort to fluster and/or distract him.

Angel somehow managed to stumble a lean. "We were what??"

"You heard me," she said, leaning over again with the hat.

"What hot? How hot? There was no hot!" Busy with flail, Angel was totally oblivious to the hat being put on his head.

Veronica chuckled as she successfully completed her mission. Well, both missions, because it was always fun to see flaily Angel. "I got it all on tape. Want a copy?"

"I absolutely do n... wait, does it include the girlkissy?"

She nodded.

"Can I have two?"

"Why would you need two?"

"Why not need two?"

Veronica rolled her eyes. "I'll see what I can do."

Angel smiled. "Thanks. So are you going to do the presentation?"

She tilted her head. "I thought you were."

"No no no," Angel shook his head, which caused the hat to slip to a jaunty angle. "That involves public speaking. I don't do that."

"Oh, well, then I guess no tapes for you," Veronica said with a shrug.

"I provided you with pretty boykissy."

"That's true," Veronica agreed. "And I believe I may have returned the favor with the pretty girlkissy."

Angel drummed his fingers. "You know, I don't want to be crass and bring up the life-saving or anything..."

"Wanna read my essay on how I spent my spring break?" she countered.

Angel harrumphed. He thought more.

"You're better at it."

"But you look so much prettier in pink," Veronica said. "Besides, it's your theory more than it's mine. After this weekend..."

"Yeah but you're better with the talky thing."

Veronica sighed. "We'll do it together, okay?"

"Perfect. After you."

Veronica thwapped him on his pretty pink hat, but stood up and made her way to the front of the 'opera house'.

"Okay, so, our theory of justice is that it's all determined by the powers that be," Veronica began.

"Who dole out destinies without using a logic that'd make sense to anybody sane," Angel added, bitterly.

Veronica agreed whole-heartedly. "Yes," she nodded. "But sometimes, maybe, you have a choice about which pre-determined path you can take."

"You can't stop the destinies from happening," Angel said, "but you can maybe choose what you do in relation to those destinies."

"And you can see this theory in action in the cartoon where Bugs Bunny takes part in the Wagnerian Opera," Veronica said.

"What's
Opera Doc? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051189/plotsummary)" Angel said, after checking his notes. "Bug - uh, Mr. Bunny's life or death is clearly left up to the Powers That Be, but both he and Mr. Fudd show that they can still control their actions and how they relate to what the Powers are doing. Though, uh, Mr. Fudd is playing a demi-god so it's a little fuzzier with him. But it works symbolically."

Veronica nodded. "Um, I think that's it. Any questions?"

Group 5: Callisto/Janet [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

It's 4:00 AM as I'm writing this and I can't think of anything to say!

Group 6: Bridge/Sam [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Okay, slightly before 4:00 AM. I'll be sleeping again by 4:00. I try to write class early!

Re: Group 6: Bridge/Sam [Class 24]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam set the program and waited for Bridge.

Group 7: Parker/Anakin [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Darwin, Karma, Vending Machines of Justice, getting squished, and possibly a mopey Jedi!

Re: Group 7: Parker/Anakin [Class 24]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's wearing a black toque with femme fatale veil, and she's tapping her foot waiting for the emo person who dumped Rory to show up.

She has a hat for him.

Random Discussion [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

For talking during presentations!

Re: Random Discussion [Class 24]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron's paying attention to the other projects. Really. He's also slightly nervous about Aeryn and Jaye's for some mysterious reason. Spidey-senses?

Re: Random Discussion [Class 24]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory did her best to focus on all the presentations.

If she was suddenly very absorbed in her desk when Parker and Anakin did theirs, well, that's how things work sometimes.

Turn Stuff In [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

In case you didn't on Tuesday (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/776459.html)!

Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 24]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Justice is like the bumper stickers on the car of society. When there's only one, it catches the attention of the driver behind you and it's easy to get the message. When there's a whole lot of them, you need to put little arrows on them so you know in what order to read them. If you don't, the other drivers will get confused about what to read first, forget all about the road and drive right into you.

Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 24]

[can_be_more]

Aeryn has no idea what a bumper sticker is. Yes, still. Look, she's been busy.

So she makes something up.

Justice is like a bumper sticker, a protective material that sticks to another protective material to add much more protection.

It's not quite right... But not a horrible try...

Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin was trying. He was just a little...distracted.

Justice is a bumper sticker on the transport of society. Sometimes it adds to the personality and individuality of the vehicle, but other times it is filled with useless information: who cares if your youngling has perfect attendence at Coruscant's Academy for Gifted Beings? Either way, though, if you try to remove Justice from your bumper you are left with a mess. Yeah.

Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 24]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

The bumper sticker of Justice is witty and concise, delivering its message within the confines of the rectangle of Society.

After Class [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

For anything after class!

OOC [Class 24]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The degree to which you use the shop to do wacky stuff is, of course, totally up to you. Just have some fun.

Also, a big thanks to you guys. Things have been very hectic the past few weeks and you've really picked up my slack to keep ACJ nice and busy interaction-wise. I'll try to take the burden back off you a bit for the rest of the semester, but we'll see how it goes.

Re: OOC [Class 24]

TOASTY SMURFY MUSHROOMS!
