Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 28, Period 1, 04.20.06

[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"

"Okay, the two models are the Conflict Model and the Consensus Model. The Conflict Model states that the organizations in the Justice System should - and perhaps do! - come into contention with each other. For example, police are determined to put people in prison and even have clearance rates. Similar stories with the prosecutors. But prison officials may be concerned wiith overcrowding and do what they can to limit their numbers. Perhaps they even let criminals out more easily."

"Another example would be the way that police can be so determined to arrest superheroes sometimes. Or the courts with their fines for public destruction. It's all conflict. Competition, even, to see which wheel on the Tricycle of Justice is the best."

"On the other end of the theoretical teeter totter is the Consensus Model. It says that the Justice System should - and perhaps does! - work together and cooperate. The police and courts work together to send bad people to prison. The prisons hold the bad people. Superheroes assist where they can. The important thing is that, egads, we're on a tricycle and we're having fun! Look at us zoom down this hill! Wheee!"

"Some people have speculated that we shoot for Consensus but Conflict is our reality. My question for you is what do you think about the whole thing? Consensus? Conflict? Are we one? Are we the other? Is one better? What are we doing with our shiny, red tricycle?"

"Please discuss!"

"Note to self: no Aeryn hugs." Rory shrugged. "We're competing, anyway."

"Competing?"

"Prom princess!"

Aeryn stares at her.

"What?"

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]

"You and I are up for prom princess," Rory elaborated.

There's more staring.

And then there's burying of the face in the hands.

Aeryn's back to staring at her. "WHY?"

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-04-21 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Because I don't want to," Rory said, blushing. "People looking at me...no."

"You'd make a much better princess than I would," says Aeryn, who doesn't want people looking at her, either. It's bad enough she'll be getting a dozen comments about the fact that she's wearing a dress.

"Nah," Rory said, shaking her head. "I hate being the center of attention."

"People are going to vote for you, anyway," Rory said, shrugging.

"Because it will break my brain?" she assumes.

Rory nodded.

"I wouldn't have to kiss anyone, would I?" She has to ask.

"Maybe John?" Rory said. "Since I think he's going to win for prince."

"See... he neglected to mention any of this to me," she says. John should worry.

"Oops," Rory said. "Yeah, it's you, me, John and Charlie, and then Chloe, Cal, Angel and Logan for king and queen."

"I think I liked it better when everyone was afraid of me," Aeryn says honestly.

Rory frowned. "I used to be terrified of you, yeah. Still am, a little bit."

Strangely enough, that makes her feel better. "But you bought me pink and want me to be prom princess."

"Well, yeah. Because you look nice in pink, not because it's hyper-feminine or anything," Rory said, shrugging. "And I want you to be prom princess because I'm selfish and don't want it to be me."

That really makes her feel better.
