Sidekick Tryouts, just outside the dorms

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?:

[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!

1...2...3... Go!

Looking deeply amused, Janet plays along, ending up with her hand in a fist. "Looks like it's rock, then."

*Paper* Yes! I won one! Rock-Paper-Scissors, you are now my bitch! *ahem* Janet, you're strategy score will suffer a little, but I almost picked scissors, so you do get some credit.

Test 3 is to grade a discussion from my class. The discussion prompt was "If you found somebody juggling kittens against their will, what would you do? There isn't a law about Kitten Juggling. This is what we call a Gray Area. Pick one of the Three Mighty Components of Criminal Justice and discuss what you would do."

One student responded (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/108795.html?thread=3836155#t3836155) "Why would anyone juggle kittens? It's possible I'm not remembering what a kitten is, exactly, but..." How would you grade this?

By the way, Professor Tick? I filled out the application wrong. I actually do have a super-name. Some people at my old school called me Napoleonic Power-Monger. *glances back at Jack and snickers*

Good move with that Rock-Paper-Scissors, though. I guess you're just a tactical genius compared to me. Give me some time to practice and I might eventually go for scissors myself.

Now, unfortunately, I have no idea what the Three Mighty Components of Criminal Justice are. I'm guessing they're "criminal," "justice," and...some other thing I can't figure out.

But first, I think I'd have to ask the student to define both "kittens" and "juggling." To be on the safe side, you know. Maybe ask him to do a demonstration of some non-kitten juggling to make sure he really understood the question. You can't understand why someone would juggle kittens if you don't understand juggling. And then I'd make them get some catnip out and play with kittens, so they understood what a kitten was. If they managed to do all that and demonstrate an understanding of it, I'd give them an "E" for "Good Try."

OOC: OMG. Aeryn Sun. Juggling. Playing with kittens high on catnip. *dies*

Don't worry about mistakes on the application. That's in the Past, and the Past is behind us. It has to be! Otherwise we have this whole Time thing backwards!

And that's a good... detailed answer. I'm glad you're not my teacher!

Test 4 is the Talent Competition. By all means, demonstrate whatever it is that you do really well!

[OOC: I do believe that you broke my brain. I'll have to check the zombie corpses, see if there are any left over.]

Having time backwards wouldn't work out too well. That would mean that tomorrow I'd wake up and be one day younger, and also the zombies would be back. And I think Principal Connor might be upset by that.

Talents, talents... It's a shame you don't have any life-threatening wounds right now, because I'm very good at giving orders and treating medical trauma, but I guess I'll have to improvise with the only other skill I've shown since I enrolled here at Fandom High. *grabs The Tick and plants a big, noisy, wet raspberry of kiss right on his mouth* Apparently I'm good at kissing teachers.

Jack O'Neill, you owe me one for this.

OOC: Hee! Have I mentioned that I'm frelling insane myself? *snickers madly*

*Snaps a picture of Janet planting one on The Tick*

I know I owe you but it's so incredibly worth it.

*winks at Jack*

*applies lipstick*

*snickers and dips The Tick into a bend and plants another loud, messy kiss directly on his lips*

Wow, Professor Tick, you even kiss like a Super Hero! Are you sure you don't have a newly-discovered Super Power?

I am going to make you suffer for this. Somehow. Just because.

Um... I think it would be against some rules... somewhere... ~~not in Gotham~~ if you were to be my sidekick. Um.

Thank you for your time, Miss Fraiser!

Oh, you're welcome, Professor Tick! I want to help the cause of justice any way I can!

*tries to suppress her giggles as she walks away*

*Snap snap snap*

This almost makes up for the lack of sleep.

It'll be worth it though!

*smiles and poses for the camera*

Only almost? I'll have to think of another way to make it up for you.

Not enough coffee in the world, Jack. Well, maybe.

*Tick is very surprised.*

Um... *ahem* Um... Yes. The Final Test is explaining why you want to be my sidekick.

[OOC: Just for the record, that kind of thing is not expected of Tick's sidekick. He's not Batman, after all.]

*grins and is deeply amused at the situation*

Because he paid me. *points to Jack O'Neill*

OOC: Hee! *giggles madly*

[OOC: BWAHAHA!]

Wooo Hoo!!!!

"By the way, Professor Tick? I filled out the application wrong. I actually do have a super-name. Some people at my old school called me Napoleonic Power-Monger."

Damn. Didn't think she knew that.

I know all, I see all, I hear all. Also, I bribe Murray with scented candles when necessary.

Dammit. I knew Murray was a weak link, too quiet.

...

Scented?

I got all my best information from Murray.

Oh, yes. Scented. Would you like to know what his favorite scents were?

I'm still positive that he's the one who started all those rumors about me and Daniel, he was always way too quiet.

Yes actually. For future ~~bribery~~ refrence.
