How to Annoy Your Teachers (And Not Get Turned Into Animals) [Week 4, Period 2]
When the students wander up to the main campfire today, they'll notice two very large boxes and several bunches of pink and blue balloons. For now, John ignores those.
"Welcome back," he said, "and I hope you're all enjoying being back in the dorms. Nice to have walls and doors again, isn't it?"
"Today's class is going to be pretty straightforward," he said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Today, we're going to start rumors."
John loved rumors. Especially if they were about someone else. "Pair up or, if you'd like, talk to me, and tell me a rumor about a teacher. Any teacher. If it's a good enough rumor, I'll mention it next Monday on the radio. Rumors are good for annoying people for a few reasons. One, unless someone rats you out, it's hard to pinpoint blame. If I started a rumor about Deadpool being married, which isn't a rumor by the way, and it got around to ten or fifteen of you, it would still be hard for Deadpool to figure out who started the rumor. Two, rumors can be as extravagant as you'd like. You could tell someone that Ares was really a furry robotic chipmunk. Here, people would believe you! And there are other reasons but the first two are the important ones."
Pausing, he wondered if Ares was, in fact, a robotic chipmunk. "So, start a rumor. About me or about another teacher and spread it around the classroom. This week's homework is a special one though. See those boxes and those ballons?" He pointed at the aforementioned boxes and balloons. "For homework this week, I'd like you to dig through those boxes and pick one out of the ugliest pieces of moddable maternity clothes you can find. And then take a bunch of balloons. You can then choose either Principal Zoe or Aly to go find and give the clothing and balloons to. Wish them well in their pregnancies and tell them John sent you!"
"And don't forget to turn in your homework if you took on a different persona last week," John reminded them.
[OOC: Homework can be handwavily done, as always. Today's homework assignment has been approved by both Zoe and Aly. Thank you kindly to the both of them. As always, tell the teachers John sent you and you won't get in trouble. Teachers? John is around here to be threatened, yelled at or chased in the appropriate thread. Have fun!]
