Field trip! Field trip!
Who: Avery, OTA
What: Class trips to witness Outlands law! With prompts that can be for mingle-age as well.
When: Several points throughout January
Where: The Outlands, Avery's office
Warning: Blood, violence in some prompts and threads, shenanigans.
At the beginning of the month, students will be given a packet detailing the various class trips Avery has planned for the month, along with a couple sign up sheets to be filled out and submitted to a box just outside his office.
All students are urged to have their professors sign off if they will be missing their class in favor of the trip, but Avery isn't going to be looking out for the notes. Those who do submit them, however, will get an extra point or two of extra credit for remembering the golden rule: CYA.
First Trip: The Toad of Fortune
No restrictions on who can come for this one. No mock trial will be had afterward.
Second Trip: Trial by Loser
Humans must be 13 or older. Mock trial will be held afterward in the Mythril Cage "because I find it funny."
Third Trip: The Dark Assembly
Humans must be 16 or older or have a permission slip signed by three members of faculty to attend. This one he will be checking for. All those attending are encouraged to be competent in combat or healing.
A mock trial will be held onsite only for those skilled in combat.

Toad! Of! Fortune!!!
In this particular corner of the Outlands, the guilt or innocence of the accused isn't determined by a jury of one's peers or the banter of lawyers, but by a ritual of sorts, where the accused cuts their hand and spills their blood upon the back of a toad. Depending on the color the toad turns afterward, the accused is considered guilty or innocent.
Apparently there's some distinguishment in hue for whether or not an act was premeditated or accidental, and Avery has promised extra credit to whatever student manages to figure it out.
Trial by Loser
By school decree, Avery has been careful to choose non-lethal combat for the students to witness. Nevertheless, it's a sight to behold, with each party throwing punches deliberately designed to miss, while the other does their best to deliberately dodge into them.
Those who simply stand there are considered in contempt of court, but a few get around it by hurling insults at their opponent to egg them on.
Once the trip is over, the Mythril Cage is opened up for students to participate as they please, with weapons replaced with various foam implements to be used or forgone as deemed necessary by each individual.

my god
Maverick is silent for a long while, probably choking down a sob because he doesn't have any popcorn on him, which is a crime in and of itself. This is the saddest moment in his entire life, in a way. In another,]
This is so fucking beautiful. Best fucking sport I ever seen.
no subject
[To be fair, he wanted to bring popcorn with, but it was banned, and he has too much respect for the law in general to try and get around that.]
no subject
[Give him the Wild law, not boring stuff that makes people cry into textbooks as they contemplate drinking themselves into oblivion!
He's done enough of that since coming to this school!]no subject
You just don't appreciate the art of it all. It's like a big game of chess, kid, where you outsmart and run circles around the other side until they cry Uncle.
no subject
Looks more like two idiots screaming "uncle" while they put their hands over their ears so they can pretend they can't hear the other person, at the moment...
[Not that he's complaining. This is still funny.]
You sound so up your own ass, though. Fucking ridiculous.
no subject
[He puts his chin in his hand]
What, a guy can't be proud of his chosen profession?
no subject
Awh, don't be sad. I'm just talking shit. That's my chosen profession. Ain't my fault you're embarrassingly easy to take digs at, really, I'm just exploitin' the fact. I got respect for alright lawyers.
no subject
[He smirks]
But that's fair enough, I suppose. If you want something done, make sure to do it right. Surprised you haven't taken me up on any of my extra credit assignments yet.
no subject
[He's been dunking on Avery since he got here, really... Oops.]
I tried to do one once but you were all "wehh you aren't in my class". Like I'd give you the satisfaction now...
no subject
That was just the extra credit part. I never said anything about holding back kudos for getting it done.
Besides, isn't the result a reward in itself?
no subject
I'm trying to remember what the fuck my extra credit proposal even was. I think the plan was to get you to make weird faces during an eating contest? I dunno.
no subject
[even if that's not what Maverick thought he was doing]
An attempt to beat me in an eating contest for a better grade. Ms. Inoue chose something similar.
no subject
[Not having been in Avery's class at the time, this really should go without saying. He'll have noticed by now that Maverick does pretty well for himself in terms of academics, anyway.]
The Dark Assembly
The proceedings are... interesting, to say the least. Just about anyone, it seems, can stop by and suggest a law, though it has to be approved by all daemon senators in attendance. Bribery isn't just common, it's encouraged and a few daemons can be seen talking to senators on their cellphones to persuade them to vote one way or another shortly before entering the chamber. Some of the stronger daemon senators will even physically toss out those voting opposite of them or seduce them in court to vote their way.
If a law is shot down, the person putting forward the law has one last shot: Persuade By Force. If they can get rid of all the senators that voted them down, the law is passed anyway.
Interestingly enough, Avery can frequently be seen with a fair amount of cuts and bruises by any student coming along for this.
Mock "trial" is held in the same room the previous sessions were held, complete with mock senators. Each one is some kind of stuffed penguin creature that looks like it really doesn't want to be here.
They explode when thrown.
no subject
Puella walked up to the podium next to try her best at giving a proposal. She did not need to think about it too hard. After all, it was one of the most important changes there needed to be.
"All cafeterias need to give out more chocolate!"
Yes, she was serious. She waited to hear what the funny looking stuffed penguins had to say about that.
no subject
Looks like it's a big question mark right now.
no subject
"What's wrong?"
no subject
One of them, however, seems to take pity on the girl. "Sardines are way better, dood!"
no subject
OH NO. THEY ARE A PENGUIN-Y VERSION OF VALVATOREZ.
Well in that case. "Um...Alright. How about more chocolate for us and more sardines for you then?"
no subject
no subject
"...But why hurt them if there's another way to get along?"
no subject
no subject
What's so wrong about making a proposal that benefits everyone though? Shouldn't that be what it's supposed to be?
Fine. What's in the box... Oh jeez.
Whether or not these were live or dead fish, she felt so grossed out to touch them. She simply pinched just enough of the tail so she bring it back up to the podium, holding it far outward.
"Uh, I got these...?" This wasn't going to work.
Office Hours/Wildcard
post dark assembly trip
He could probably just pick the lock to get into Avery's office to deliver a new stack of schedules. Out of respect to him (since the man gets so little as it is), he does not. ]
I have blank class schedules for next month ready for you, Atchison-
[ wait ] Why are you injured.
no subject
[He looks down at himself] Oh. Preparations for a class trip. Needed to pass some bills in the Outlands.
[Might as well be talking about the weather]
no subject
no subject
[They wanted everything he had and he had to save SOME items for the students to bribe officials with]
You'd think "Put Together an Easy Tutorial Session" would be a no-brainer, but apparently some people were upset because they actually had to read the bill.
no subject
[ The injuries really aren't enough to warrant so much fussing over. It's hardly as bad as some of the things that have landed him in the infirmary before now.
But it's easy to fix. Ekkehardt's instinct to fix an obvious problem wars with the knowledge that it might come off as babying him. For now, the conflict is almost entirely imperceptible. ]
