Sidekick Tryouts, just outside the dorms

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hello there, prospective do-gooders! I am Professor Tick, and my side needs kicking! Err, that is, I need a sidekick. I could always use a hand grading things and running my class, but that's what a TA is for. You'll be helping me with that and assisting me in my other work.

You'll be expected to help me on my patrols [OOC: Patrols are assumed to happen at all hours of the day. If Tick's not around, he's patrolling, coincidentally being in exactly the places where stuff isn't happening. Sidekick is not expected to join him on these patrols, but it would be nice if they scheduled his routes or something. Not that he'd follow that. He goes where Justice leads him.]. You'll get a snazzy costume courtesy of Professor Beeblebrox's class. You'll get a spiffy super name! And you may even get some extra perks if SCIENCE. WILL. JUST. WORK. WITH ME!!!

Anyway, the tryouts will consist of five tests. At the end of the day, a new sidekick will be chosen! Keen!

Good luck to everyone!

Test 1:

Answer the following:

Name:
Super-Name (Not necessary: my sidekick back in The City is named Arthur!):
Special Powers/Abilities (if any):
Battle Cry:
Are You Dedicated to Justice?:

Name: Wallace Fennel
Super-Name:
Special Powers/Abilities (if any): I'm really good at basketball and I have lots of 'sidekick experience' - (just ask Veronica Mars for details)
Battle Cry: umm, 'hey you - stop that'
Are You Dedicated to Justice?: yes.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Ooh! An experienced sidekick! *makes note*

Okay, Wallace. Test 2 is a test of your strategic skills. A test that will push your mind to its limits!

Rock-Paper-Scissors. Best 2 out of 3.

1...2...3... GO!

"Hello, Mr. Tick!" Rory says cheerily. "My friend just woke up (http://www.livejournal.com/users/psycho_jackass/3699.html), so I'm here." She settles in and fills out the paperwork.

Name: Lorelai Leigh Gilmore - but I go by Rory, generally.
Super-Name: I haven't come up with one yet, but give it time.
Special Powers/Abilities: I'm extremely organized, obediant, and I'm good at sensing others' moods. Not psychic or anything, though.
Battle Cry: I'm kind of fond of "Tally-ho!" or just an anguished scream.
Are You Dedicated to Justice: Yes sir, I most certainly am. I think Justice is one of the pillars of our society - without it, there would be chaos.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hello, Rory! "Tally-ho?" I like the cut of you jib!

Okay, time for Test 2, that age-old game of strategy, Rock-Paper-Scissors [OOC: Just one round. 2 out of 3 was silly.] 1..2...3... GO!

*Vala sits in her second-floor window, legs dangling out in the sun, and watches the show try-outs with great amusement*

[OOC: Vala cracks me up. :)]

[janet_fraiser]

Janet sits off to the side and watches, content to leave the job to someone else. But she'll cheer her friends on.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: And there are officially as many people watching from the sidelines as there are trying out. :)]

*drops down next to Janet and offers popcorn*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jack comes and sits down next to Janet and Harkness, he's obviously just gotten out of the shower and his hair currently resembles Shep's on a bad day.

"How the hell did you get the zombie crap out of your hair?" *Scrub scrub*

Jack is slow on the uptake today and finally notices what's going on.

"Hey Janet? I'll give you twenty bucks if your try out."

Yeah! Go, YoYo!

::walks in, apparently having finally replaced the chainsaw with his metal hand again... however, Ash does not appear to have bothered with showering quite yet, and still covers a fine layer of zombie goo::

What's this I hear about... sidekick try-outs?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hello there, Coach Ash! I need a helper, so I'm holding tryouts! It's students-only, but if you'd like to take the tests and show the kids how it's done, feel free!

I can't believe you talked me into doing this.

[janet_fraiser]

Name: Janet Fraiser
Super-Name (Not necessary: my sidekick back in The City is named Arthur!): Janet Fraiser

Re: I can't believe you talked me into doing this.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Bwahaha!]

Okay, Janet. Test 2 is an exploration of your strategic skills. It is a test that has been perfected over the years. It is Rock-Paper-Scissors, and it is mighty!

Sure, why not

Hey, you're blue, too! Keen!

Okay, Test 2 is a game of strategy. It is Rock-Paper-Scissors. 1...2...3... GO!

[fates_jaye]

(OOC: I HAVE TO.)

Name: Jaye Tyler
Super-Name: Jaye Tyler. It inspires fear and awe.
Special Powers/Abilities (if any): I don't suck at school. I'll probably grow up and have the exciting job of wearing my name on my shirt. And I can down four shots in rapid succession without gagging.
Battle Cry: I had settled on "DIE, MUTANT" but then thought about it and decided that would be offensive. So I think I'm going to go with "AIIIIIIEEEEEE!" because I'm a realist.
Are You Dedicated to Justice?: Depends. What am I getting out of it?

[janet_fraiser]

(OOC: OMG, you so do.)

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

I like the battle cry! It screams defiance to the very idea of not succeeding!

Test 2 is the greatest test of strategy in the universe. Rock-Paper-Scissors. 1...2...3... Go!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hello! Professor Drusilla, right? Well, obviously, you can't win since you're not a student, but you can still show the kids here how it's done!

The Second Test is a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to demonstrate your strategic abilities. 1...2...3... Go!

[crazyvampchick]

OOC: BTW, she's the psych prof. I couldn't resist, though.

Sorry, Callisto! No sociopaths. While they too can fight in the name of Justice (I knew a great sociopath back in The City. Got himself into therapy and he was just fine!), I must say "Nay!" to any self-proclamed sociopath trying out to be my sidekick!
