fandomhigh | Criminal Justice [1st Period, Tuesday

"Good morning," V greeted quietly from the shadows when everyone had arrived. "Today we shall discuss the Judicial system of the United States, as well as due process."

He continued on in a low voice for a few minutes, hitting high points like the Miranda warning, trial by jury and the fifth amendment to the United States' Constitution, and stressing the fact that while their homes may be found in other places, the States is their home for the time being and thus is the system with which to chiefly concern themselves.

"However," V continued, "there are very definitely two sides to the law, and at least two parties to consider. Hence...we're going to engage in an activity."

He gestured expansively. "One half of you will be criminals who have been apprehended for a crime of your choosing. The rest of you will be the arresting officers, of sorts. Accused students? You are to attempt to escape arrest via whatever means necessary - nonviolent, please, but lying, cheating, conniving, negotiating...all of these are encouraged. And arrestors? You are to be fair, but stand by your principles and do your best to keep them from escaping, please."

He glanced at the roster for scarcely a second before saying, "If your surname, or only name if you have a single name, ends in an N or an R, you are a criminal. The rest of you are officers. Please pair up."

[~~Wait for OCD, plz~~ OCD up! I am crashing very soon, will be around late morning/early afternoon EDT and then steadily through the day. But this is pretty much student/student interaction, so have fun, guys.

ETA: Due to various things, we're shorter on cops than we are on robbers. So extra robbers, please team up, or crash a thread to help one of the others escape. My apologies for apparently not being able to count or something.]

Teddy blinked. "What exactly did you get me for?"

[ooc: Sorry about being late, got called into work.]

Alec pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Malicious mischief. And loitering."

"Really?" Teddy was slightly disappointed. He was hoping for something like attempting to take the world hostage by turning everyone pink.

But he continued on. "How do you know it was me?"

"I saw you," Alec said cheerfully. "And hey, loitering. Kind of obvious, right? You were just standing here."

Teddy grinned. "How do you know it was me?"

"There are doppelgangers all over at this school," Teddy said as he changed. "And more are showing up all the time."

He stared for a moment, then grinned back. "So now I can pick you up for impersonating an officer of the law, though you get points for having good taste."

Teddy changed back and frowned.

"I suck at this whole non-violent way of escaping authorities thing."

He looked hopeful. "Can't I just punch you and run?"

"No way," Alec said, leaning back slightly at the idea, just before he took on a look of curiosity. "Do you usually do it with fists and property damage then?"

"Uh, well there was this one time where we accidently set a church on fire," Teddy said, looking down at his desk, his cheeks turning red just remembering it.

Alec's grin was approving, though just in a general "yay destruction!" sort of way. "Sweet, man. Whatever gets them off your tail, right?"
