Community Center Class- Philosophy 101- Thursday evening

[fates_jaye]

Jaye was having a day. She was all bruised from getting shot up by psychos with paintballs yesterday and then... then there'd been the moose.

"So there's been a misunderstanding," she began. "My name's Jaye, and I thought when I was offered this class that 'philosophy' was code for 'showing a movie,' only it turns out there's actually another class that's explicitly about showing movies and mine is actually about philosophy. Who knew.

"Anyway, I actually did go to Brown and have a degree in this, but my day job also means I have my name stitched onto my shirt, so I am qualified to do this, sort of. But since I'm wildly unprepared, why don't we start with the introductions, and you can start by telling me why you thought this was a good idea for yourself."

Before class

[fates_jaye]

Talk to each other! Start the process of becoming a little family unit, like TV taught us.

Hopefully a philosophy class would attract some people that would be interesting to talk to. That was what Lucille was hoping for anyway.

Hi! Who are you? Why the hell are you here?

Re: Discussion

[crimson_sister]

"My name is Lucille Sharpe. I used to be a student here, and recently returned after spending some time at home."

She almost smiled.

"I'm here for interesting conversations."

Re: Discussion

[fates_jaye]

"That might depend on your personal idea of interesting."

Jaye had actually found it really boring, but maybe there were philosophy nerds!

Again, she was the teacher.

Re: Discussion

[crimson_sister]

"Don't you find philosophy interesting?" Lucille asked.

Re: Discussion

[fates_jaye]

"Define interesting," Jaye hedged.

Re: Discussion

[crimson_sister]

"Something that inspires your curiosity in some way, intellectually or emotionally," Lucille replied. "Do you have a different definition?"

Re: Discussion

[mother_forker]

Eleanor briefly considered just using her fake identity but then again the super powered truant officer probably knew her name.

"I'm Eleanor Shellstrop. Somehow I got signed up? I don't know. Can I take a nap?"

She had soooo much to drink last night.

Re: Discussion

[fates_jaye]

"Only if we get to wax poetic about what that choice says," Jaye said.

Re: Discussion

[mother_forker]

Eleanor blinked a few times and the gears in her head turned.

“So I got drunk last night I need to sleep or I’ll be a fright.”

Re: Discussion

[crimson_sister]

Lucille sent Eleanor a condescending look.

Re: Discussion

[mother_forker]

Eleanor rolled her eyes in return. “Don’t get judgey with me. You don’t know my story.”

Though she did look pretty hungover.

Re: Discussion

[crimson_sister]

"That is true. I don't."

She smiled, not any less condescendingly.

Re: Discussion

[complexfemale]

"Maeve," she said. "I thought it would look good to get into a university."

Maybe not?

Re: Discussion

[betterthanaplan]

"Duke Crocker," Duke said, wigging his fingers in a little wave. "I'm here because nothing's better after a hard day at work," which he'd skipped today, "than sitting around and bullshitting about the meaning of life."

Re: Discussion

[fates_jaye]

"Spoken like a true philosopher," Jaye said.

Re: Discussion

[betterthanaplan]

Duke nodded. "Or at least a guy who's done a lot of drugs in his time."

Talk to Jaye

[fates_jaye]

She's actually going to try at this! Did it have anything to do with a blurb? Actually yes!

OOC

[fates_jaye]

Jaye is quickly turning into a "I'm gonna do this thing oh no that worked out too well did I get character development out of this" kind of character.
