Computers & Fun #7 7/5 Wednesday Afternoon - Computer Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The lab coats were not hanging by the door of the lab. They were folded in front of Abby at the front desk and she sat quietly as everyone came in and took their seats.

"Today is our last day of class, although feel free to sign up for my class next term. We'll be covering different territory." Abby clicked a button on her own laptop and the projection screen behind her lit up with a flash. "Today we're going to talk about the human side of internet safety. We've already gotten our computers safe from viruses, trojans and other baddies with our firewalls, but now we need to work on something harder. Putting a firewall up against people."

Abby walked around and sat on the edge of the desk, her hands moving quickly as she spoke. "I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but I totally am going to. There are very scary people out there and they will try and trick you to letting them find out everything they can about your personal life. Sometimes they want the information to wheedle you out of money or property, other times they want the info because they want to get close to you. Really, really gross kind of close. The kind of close where you share bodily fluids." There was a quick shudder and then Abby was back on task. "Stalkers are bad. The only way to learn how to combat them is by CONSTANT VIGILANCE learning what they're like and what tricks they use. That's why this afternoon we're going to stalk each other."

"Everyone sign onto a chatroom and start talking each other up, getting to know each other. Half of you will be creepy stalkers and the other half will be victims. Try not to let any personal information slip out!" Abby grinned. "And when you're finished, I've got a present for you."

Cally thought for a second before creating her stalker name. When she eventually came up with it, she seriously wondered if she was crazy.

Conner thought for a few minutes and came up with a screenname that, while it appealed to him, might not have been the best idea ever.

Yo! Any hot chicks in here?

Well this was embarassingly familiar. Willow did her best to try to learn from experience as she thought up a screen name and persona.

[12:40] CleverRed: I am SO not looking for boys on the internet.

Willow thought about it, then added

[12:41] CleverRed: Possibly I am one.

After a few minutes of debating, Sam decided that it might be easier to pretend to be a stalker than a girl. Yes, really.

Peter made a new screen name and logged on.

At the end of class

"Before you leave.." Abby gathered the labcoats and waited for the class to line up in front of her. "You guys were a great class and I wanted to thank you for being the first students I ever had. So I'm officially knighting you. Or geeking you. as the case may be." She handed them each a labcoat with the title geek stitched over the pocket. "Go forth and spread the geek love!"

John puts his on. THis? Is badass.

Re: At the end of class

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner actually put his labcoat on with a big grin. All he needed was smart glasses and he could be just like his mentor Dr. Oliver!

"Hey, um, Professor Sciuto?"

Re: At the end of class

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, Abby," Willow said as she took her coat.

Re: At the end of class

[likethegun]

Sam grinned at the labcoat. "Thank you," he said. "I suppose I have to give the laptop back now, huh?"

Re: At the end of class

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Abby?" Bridge says, as he takes his coat. "I've got good news. I tested out the thing with the Caf-Pow? And it's totally do-able."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma-chan takes it. She's even more clueless than the real Ranma but she grin at the teacher, "Thank you very much!"

Re: At the end of class

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Abby," Peter beamed. Oh, he really needed to work this into his costume somehow.

OOC

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to designate who's going to be the stalker and the victims because it would probably just be easier for people to play with who ever who is able to RP at the time! Feel free to switch roles too.

And also...Yay for being such good students!

Re: OOC

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

*cries and clings to bestest computer teacher ever*

Also, willbedone, I love you so very much.
