I. never leave me out

[It's a familiar sight, by now: Professor Jailbreak, perching on the edge of the desk instead of sitting down like a normal person, up at the front of the room, ready to teach. Except... maybe it isn't a familiar sight to you.]

[Because this is Classical Literature 101.]


So, first thing you're all going to learn today: your usual professor has a surprisingly good poker face. Second thing you're gonna learn is that I only found that out last night when I tried to call her on a straight flush. [She shrugs and grins cheerily.] Long story short, she's got concert tickets and the day off, and you get to deal with me today.

Ain't you lucky.

[She picks up a folder and flips through it idly.] So, says here we're studying... wait, Hemingway? Man, fuck Hemingway, Hemingway sucks. [She tosses the folder over her shoulder and somehow manages to nail the nearest garbage can with perfect accuracy.]

Yeah, screw that, today you're learning about Mary Shelley and how she was more goth than any of you will ever be in your entire fucking lives. Take notes.


II. watch it all

So hey, here's a fun thought: [Jail is lying flat on her back on a workbench, staring up at the ceiling. She's not even bothering to look at anyone else in the room.] Jetpacks.

[That's it, that's the thought. She's done.]

Meditate on this. I'm gonna take a nap. [Your club adviser, everyone. It might actually be slightly more productive if she hadn't shown up today.]

[Kick her off the bench to try and get some work done? Attempt to wake her up? Or just appreciate the fact that you're in a room with a bunch of power tools and the only "adult supervision" is audibly snoring. The choice is yours.]



III. i'm standing by

[Wild card, go for whatever.]
