The Tick vs. Grading, Room 141, Morning
Saturday, October 15th, 2005 09:13 amTick flung himself through his door, destroying the frame as well. A flurry of paper trailed him. He landed on his stomach. There was some paper on him. One sheet had been impaled on his left antenna. There were red marks all over his face, as if he had been attacked by a red felt tip pen.
He looked very panicked, but passersby could probably tell that even if they didn't see his face. After all, he had just jumped through his door. Calm people don't often do that.
Tick began to move backwards toward the shattered door frame. It was hard to tell if he was pushing himself back or if the tests that had fallen in a line behind him were somehow dragging him. The tests appeared to collect neatly as he passed over them.
"Let go, Examination Devils! It's not supposed to be this way! We could do this as friends! WHY ARE YOU SO VIOLENT?!" As Tick was moved back into his room, he whimpered, "Why did Rory have to leave this weekend? SIDEKICK, I NEED YOUR HELP!"
One test remained at the former door frame, apparently glaring menacingly at anyone who even considered helping Tick out.
[OOC: I'll be at the office for a few hours. There will be more The Tick vs Grading later on this afternoon.]
