"Algebra II", Thursday, Period 4

Apr 19, 2012 13:39

Electroclash, standing at the front of the classroom looking uncomfortable in her teacher uniform, didn't know the first fucking thing about algebra. She also hadn't bothered to find out much. Or anything at all. As far as she'd gone was a phonecall back home to Jenny to pester her about coming up with a test for her, and all that had yeilded was a ( Read more... )

Like you don't even know what algebra is.

Listen to the ... Lecture? ["Algebra II" 04/19] electrocynic April 19 2012, 10:41:52 UTC

Or boggle at the gizka all around the room.

Stephanie wasn't boggling at the gizka. More like freaking the crap out because --

Well, according to her internal monologue: Holy crap so not any good at algebra this is a joke this is a joke rightrightright? Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee.

And then she heard what the exam actually was. Whew.

Handwaving is fiiine, as always!

Raven knew more about the history of math than how to do the actual math itself, so she was actually able to come up with a vaguely decent essay about what algebra had given the world. Vaguely.

Who knew some of the things she'd learned from Bruce and picked up from Tim in the course of vigilante-ing would end up having some practical normal-world application?

Okay, she probably should've known.

Anyway, Stephanie's essay sort of skewed off from algebra into great feats of engineering, impressive architectural accomplishments (bridges and such), and skyscrapers. There was a lot about the height of skyscrapers. NO REASON.

Lex's exam thoroughly explained numerous real world applications of algebra, before segueing off into a discussion of calculus. Juat because.

Geeeeeeek.

Get Rid of the Gizka ["Algebra II" 04/19] electrocynic April 19 2012, 10:43:12 UTC

Electroclash is in favour of throwing them out the window.

Re: Get Rid of the Gizka ["Algebra II" 04/19] trigons_child April 19 2012, 13:35:09 UTC

Oh! Emotion Taxi Raven could be helpful here. The gizka didn't seem evil, so surely Karla couldn't disapprove if Raven were to sweep up a whole bunch of them with her Soul-Self and transport them to the park when no one they had to hide their gifts from was looking.

That might prove to be a mistake later.

Now, the fun part!

Squall's gunblade was safely hidden away in the weapons locker, but he managed to find a metal yardstick in the classroom. Other people might have problems with killing the lizard-things, but he just saw them as a nuisance. Wielding the yardstick expertly, he proceeded to use it to smite the creatures handily.

Who totally thinks it's believable this has been an algebra class all along, right?

(Once she pings in, omg.)

Lisa had a deeply geeky pride in her math skills. So when the exam turned out to be an essay, she almost looked a little crestfallen -- who wouldn't rather do equations?

But mostly, she was worried because of the lizards. She had her legs tucked up under her on her seat and was hoping they couldn't jump.
