Monday, January 22, Second Period

Aziraphale really wished he could have stayed home, preferably hiding someplace very dark where no one would know to look for him. Especially he wasn't looking forward to facing his students on this Monday morning. Which was why there was a huge television screen on one wall, and the furniture was all arranged so that it could be easily seen. There were also handouts and books available for the students to borrow. Aziraphale stood near the screen, and looked mostly at his chair when he spoke.

"Today, er...we're going to be seeing a film. It's called The Royal Fiancee, and it illustrates much of what we've been discussing in class about character archetypes. Particularly, I would like you to pay close attention to the secondary characters -- the ones who might fit the roles of 'helper', 'parent', or 'lover'. In this film, since the two central characters do fit the mould of hero and heroine, I would like you to consider how each could also fill the role of lover. Your handouts will help you with the definitions.

"Also, next week we will be meeting in the Danger Room, and the following week we'll have our first exam. Yes, Miss Stewart, before you say anything, I do know that I said we wouldn't be seeing any films. But I still expect you to do the reading, regardless."

Then he went off and found a dark corner to hide in.

Handouts: Definitions

Assignment: "The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird" and "Sleeping Beauty"

Extra Credit: Write a brief essay identifying the roles of helper, parent, and lover in "Mr. Fox" and "John the True".

Another class where there were no treats or yummy goodies to help ruin appetites before lunch. Ah well, it had been a strange sort of weekend and Wilson hadn’t even really had time to run by J GOB for anything.

The professor himself was leaning back against his desk, arms crossed as he watched the kids come in and settle down in their seats. He was wearing a slightly rueful expression, which usually meant that while he regretted something he was about to do…he was going to do it anyway.


“Good morning.” He said to the group. “Well, I’m afraid that strange weekends in Fandom do not get you a reprieve from announced quizzes. So, I hope that any of you affected by this past weekend’s…err…uniqueness, had a chance to study before Saturday. Okay, everybody take out a pen and a piece of paper, the questions will be up on the overhead.”

While the students got out their supplies, Wilson walked to the overhead and set the film with the quiz on the glass.

“You have fifteen minutes for this quiz. Points will be calculated on how complete your answers are so even if you don’t know all the parts of a question, still try.” [ooc: Or handwavey if you need to. :)]

Class is in Session )

It had been a long weekend, and it showed on Yondaime’s face. He took a deep breath and forced it all down as he smiled brightly at the class. "Good Morning, I hope everyone’s weekend was uneventful," the blond chuckled. "This morning we are going to start off running through our first real lesson, which will be the basics of jujutsu. We’ll be running through it all this week and next so I’d like you to all come prepared for a work out. If you need to run to change please do so now, but I’d like you back in 15 minutes."

15 minutes later... )

Logan was sitting on his desk, as usual, when the students filed in. The screen was rolling through a slide show of print ads from magazines from many eras and for many different products. The coffee machine was burbling happily in the back of the class for anyone interested.

On each desk, there was a laptop, all of them on and connected wirelessly to the school network. Alongside each was a handout.

"Morning, guys. This week we'll be looking at printed media, specifically advertisements. Your assignment is to look through the archives of ads provided and choose one in particular that you think does its job - in other words, the logo, the color scheme, something about the ad makes you interested in the product. Then choose one that does the opposite, or that you feel wasn't executed well somehow."

Logan turned slightly where he was sitting and typed something on a keyboard on his desk, bring up a couple of advertisements [ooc: warning, large image] on the screen behind him. "Once you've done that, we'll bring them up for everyone to see and you can tell us why it is you chose them. Everyone's encouraged to give their opinion on the advertisements you chose as well."

[ooc: Syllabus // Wait for OCDeeeeee is done. If you need me for anything, I'll be around all day, just slowish as am at work.]

Byron actually walks into the classroom today and lets the students settle down.

"Greetings students! I trust you all had an... eventful weekend. Today we will discuss the sacred Riddle Game. No doubt most of you have heard or read about the Greek sphinx, who asks a riddle of all who pass by. Eating the ones who are unable to answer her riddle and throwing herself off her perch when a correct answer is given. Likewise the sanctity of the Riddle game is touched upon in more recent popular fiction such as with the character 'Gag' in There And Back Again and 'Mona the Monorail' in the Dim Highrise series. More traditional stories, such as Rumplestiltskin, hint to us that creatures which seem to be the embodiment of chaos are actually bound by a few, very ridged, laws. Esoteric though they may be to our minds."

Optional reading about riddles is passed out.

"In each case, the protagonist and the antagonist engage in a Riddle Game and the fact that the game is still ongoing keeps the antagonist from attacking. Since they don't dare violate the sanctity of the Riddle Game. This can be instrumental in defeating a malevolent creature, or at least buy you some time.

But it helps to be good at riddles.

So today, I would like you to pair up and have a riddle game of your own. We're going to have a little tournament. Winners of the first round will report to me and I will pair you off for the second round, and so on, the last student will face me."

Rose was not in a terribly good mood today, she was cranky and annoyed, definitely woke-up in the wrong side of the bed and her still slowplaying date had not gone well. But she tried to be professional and forcibly put it all in a box but annoy her today she may put you in detention.



There was a mobile phone, a laptop, a portable TV, and an iPod  arranged before the class.

"This lesson should be easy enough, it's about Earth technology and how to use it," Rose gestured to the gadgets behind her, "Each of these are the basic tech someone in this time period uses.  They're all , from our perspective easy enough to use. " She lifted the mobile, "This is a mobile phone, or in other countries, it's also called a cellphone. It is a portable communication device, could be used almost anywhere in the planet. The laptop," she pointed to it, "is a mobile computer, a machine used to do almost all complex things and sometimes not so complex, we use it to play games too, mostly it is also used for surfing the internet for porn. We will discuss the internet later in the semester, suffice it to say, internet is a network of computers that allows other people to share information in a global scale."

She turned to the portable TV, "This is a portable version of a television. I'm sure most of you know what a television is, it is sometimes called the idiot box because according to some critics, the TV turn people into 'idiots'. TV enables us to watch a lot of shows without leaving the comforts of home, for some, ever. And this," Rose picked-up the iPod with some reverence, "Is currently the manna from heaven. It's a portable music device that enables you to store more than a thousand songs."

"I'm going to pass these things along and allow you to tinker with it but remember, if you break it," here Rose looked around the room intensely, "I will not be amused and you will most certainly pay for it in detention."


(ooc: OCD up!)
(ooc: Early time posting once again, will be in at 5 pm PST. And, anyone wanting detention, please comment in thread.)

When the students arrive in the classroom today, Captain Liberty's looking maybe a little excited. "Okay, realizing that after the radio this weekend, most of you are going to want to hide, you get to spend today dealing with superhero costumes.

"Last week you all got to try to protect your secret identities. Superhero costumes are not only great for doing that, but they kind of make a statement. Hopefully not a bad one," she says. "To help you out, we have a special guest speaker who will help you not suck at this. Hopefully. Please welcome Edna Mode!"

At the end of class, Captain Liberty takes just a minute to say, "And I hoped you all listened well, because the costumes you come up with are going to be displayed at the Superheroing Costume Fashion Show at the assembly in two weeks." She looks really gleeful about that.

[OCD is coming up! Play along!]
