22. the hazards of having a teacher who actually went to high school in the 50s

[alexanderofny]

[FORWARD-DATED TO MONDAY MORNINGLet it not be said that Veidt is an unobservant man. After nearly three months of seeing how things work in Mayfield, he has decided that the best way to make stuff happen is to simply say it's going to happen and then do it

[Kurt is sitting squarely in the front row, and he raises his eyebrows at this.]
you will get pregnant and die]

[alexanderofny]

Is that a problem, Mr. Valentio?

[Oh yes. He went there.]

I'm offering incentives, not making arbitrary demands.

[tender_crook]

Hummel, Mr. Veidt.

What's the worst that could happen? Somebody could get knocked up.

[With a jerk of the head towards Ms. Goldstein.]

[alexanderofny]

Yes, but is that really something any of us wants to face the possibility of in Mayfield? The risk of drone children?

[Blushing and staring down at her desk. She could use that extra credit, but...]

Uh, it's not going to be really detailed or anything, is it...?

[Slugger rarely attends this class but today he is here and he is staring in Veidt's direction with a look of abject uncertainty. As Veidt continues, the look will be infused more and more with terror. Veidt may also notice that at some point, his young pupil has managed to shift a few rows back from his original seat in the blink of an eye...]

[IS HE SERIOUS wait of course he is, this is Mr. Veidt.

Well, he *would* like to know how to dance. His family taught him a lot of things, but dancing wasn't one of them.

Um. That second part, however...]

...Ten points, yeah?

[alexanderofny]

Yes, to your average score. Are you attending prom, Mr. Crowe?

[perfektsymmetry]

[He could probably use it. He skips class too often.]

Ah, y-yes sir, I am.

[alexanderofny]

Ah. Good.

[Ruri stares at Veldt, then calls up her monitor looking for information on what the heck he's going on about]

"Mr. Veldt, Omoikane has no data on what a sexually is let alone how to carry one. Is this extra credit to the average, or one test, because it sounds kind of stupid."

[alexanderofny]

[so blunt]

I mean that prom night commonly leads to sex, Ruri. And it's Veidt.

[hontobakabaka]

"What does the male or female designation we put on personal identification forms have to do with anything?"

[Totally lost]

[alexanderofny]

Intercourse. Sexual intercourse.
