Office hours- Superheroing classroom- Tuesday

[captainliberty]

Captain Liberty's holding office hours in the classroom today. There's a sign on the door reminding the students class will be on Friday in the auditorium, but she figures in case anyone both forgets and reads the sign, she can remind them herself. Also in case anyone has any questions. Also because she doesn't want to look like a slacker to the school board.


[Blah blah SPcakes blah.]

A cloud of smoke appeared in the corner of the classroom. "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the water crackers on the cheese platter of the school board. I am DARKWING DUCK!"

Sure enough, there was an anthropomorphic duck wearing black and purple and a nifty cape and hat to go along with it. "Would you be the Superheroing teacher?"

[captainliberty]

Captain Liberty looks up, amazingly unfazed. "I woould," she says, offering her hand. "Captain Liberty. Great entrance."

"Thank you! It's my trademark, you know. Liberty, don't think I've heard of you." He waddled over and shook her hand. "What's the talent like in your class?"

[captainliberty]

"It's not bad, actually. Quite a few of the kids seem to have been doing it for a while and have some interesting stories to contribute," she says, sounding a bit surprised at that.

"Good, good," DW mused, rubbing his chin. "That's what I do on the board, you know. Someone has to look out for the interests of fellow superheroes."

[captainliberty]

"They really do," she says. "Sometimes you'll need a good community to fall back on, too, so you might as well make sure everyone around you is just as good. And I don't think they'll have any problem with the teamwork portion of the class."

[maskedmallard.livejournal.com]

"Hmph. Teamwork." He folded his arms across his chest. "An unfortunate, but necessary part of fighting crime."

[captainliberty]

"Oh, tell me about it," she says. "I've also got a sidekick in my class, though, so it's something we do have to cover."


[Sorry, my connection is ev0l this morning.]

Pippi pokes her head into the classroom and knocks just in case Captain Liberty is on the phone or something.

[captainliberty]

Captain Liberty looks up at her. "Hey there, Pirate Princess."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello Captain Liberty!" Pippi saluted. "I was wondering... Will we just be doing a little walk on the cat-walk on the cat-walk, on the cat-walk or are we expected to be more... active?"

[captainliberty]

"You can do whatever you feel the need to do," she tells her, grinning. "Do a little sashay, whatever you want. Just don't try hiding under the stage or anything. I may employ the use of hunting dogs to find people that way."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so no testing the practicality of our costumes unless we hid." Pippi nodded.

[captainliberty]

"If you've got an idea to test it out, by all means," she says, actually looking glad for it. "I think most people are just going to try to slink on and off, so I'm trying to give them the quickest option offstage if they want."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Cool." Gears, turning. . .

[captainliberty]

"And now I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it," Captain Liberty admits.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"... Will I get in trouble?"

[captainliberty]

"Well, I guess that depends on what it is you do," she says. "Also remember the school board's here this week."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi gave that some thought and nodded slowly.

Batman decided to stop by the superheroing teacher's office. He knew a little about the subject, after all. "Hello there. I imagine you're the... Superheroing teacher?"

[captainliberty]

"I would be," says Captain Liberty. "I'm Captain Liberty. And you are?"

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"I'm Batman," Batman said. "School board member. I must admit, I was happy to see a course based on the finer points of being a superhero. What are your qualifications?"

[captainliberty]

"I'm a superhero," she says with a nod. "Government trained. I'm taking a bit of a break from the business."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Government trained?" Batman asked. "Excellent. But how are your detective skills?"

[captainliberty]

"Fair to good," she says. "No superpowers to aid me, so I rely on common sense. It gets me pretty far."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"You remind me of myself," Batman said. "Simply superior fighting skills, no powers, detective skills, and gadgets. Do you have gadgets?"

[captainliberty]

"Not really, no," she says. "You have gadgets?"

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Batarangs, batropes, bat-sprays, bat-cuffs, bat-gas-mask, bat-smoke-bombs, not to mention the Batmobile, Batcycle, Batboat, Batplane, and Batcopter," Batman said.

[captainliberty]

She nods as she listens. "I sense a theme."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"The theme is bats," Batman said, helping Captain Liberty take that logical step.

[captainliberty]

"Aha," she says. "But you weren't like, bitten by a radioactive bat or anything?"

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Of course not. That would probably give me some sort of radioactive rabies," Batman said. Because he was a scientist and knew that.

[captainliberty]

"Aha. Just checking. With all the bat stuff," she says. "Do you just really like bats or something?"

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"After a... specific stimulus as a child, I fell into a cave and was confronted by a large bat. It was then that I realized that a bat would be the perfect symbol to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers," Batman said.

[captainliberty]

"I always thought bats were kind of cute," she says. "I mean, not all bats or anything. And some just need to be slapped a couple times."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"I don't know why you'd slap a harmless animal," Batman said.

[captainliberty]

"Well, not the animal, really, just..." She sighs, rubbing her forehead. "Long story."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Understood," Batman said even though it wasn't. "Well, thank you for your time, Captain. I will leave you be at this point."

[captainliberty]

"It's been nice meeting you, Batmanu- Batman. Yes, Batman." She's going to shut up now.
