History Class (All students be present!)

[Darcy Leone]

Jack Napier stood in front of his desk with a grimace on his face that made the scars really stand out in his nerdy attire. Removing his glasses and scratching his hair, he pursed his lips together and furrowed his eyebrows scanning the classroom.

[purple]"So which of you little bundles of joy are Freshmen?"[/purple]

Nobody raised their hands. Jack cracked his neck and slammed his fist into his desk. The kids jumped in their seats. Jack crouched and craned his neck, his eyes wandering to the many freaked out kids in the room.

[purple]"The first rule...kids... is to have a little respect for your elders. I'm an old man. Next time answer my goddamn question. There are 15 freshmen in here..."[/purple]

He began to pace slowly from side to side of the classroom, analyzing every one of his students.

[purple]"My name is Jack Napier. But that's Mr. Napier to you. I don't need to know your names. Names are just like numbers. Irrelevant. I want to know who you truly are."[/purple]

He stopped pacing and crossed his arms, leaning against his desk at the front.

[purple]"I'm a clown. I have issues and I enjoy having issues."[/purple]

He grinned his usual psychotic grin. Without his makeup only his eyes and scars looked intimidating. He doubted any of the kids put it together that he was the most dangerous (or was) the most dangerous man in Gotham. He didn't care. He moved his fingers from his mouth and with his hands together pointed them towards the center of the class.

[purple]"Who are... YOU. What are your powers? Do you puss out in fights or do you stick to them to the end? Come on now. Anybody? Tell me who you are."[/purple]

He pulled a snickers from out of his pocket.

[purple]"First volunteer gets a candybar."[/purple]

[Victoria Cri]

Vivi walked into the classroom, rolling her eyes. 'Oh my god!!! I can't believe it! Jack Napier teaching our class!'[/i] Vivian told her other's silently in their shared mind. Victoria, who was at the head, sighed. Sometimes she wondered how she lived with these girls. Blinking her eyes, she glanced around the room. Something looked familiar about the teacher. 'Those scars. I feel as though i've seen them before.'[/i] Vironica thought screamed in Victoria's ear. 'Let me! Let me! I wanna be in control fer this class!!!' Vivian whined. Victoria sighed and let herself pull back, allowing Vivian to take the control she wanted.

Vivian took a seat in the front, a malicious smile planted on her lips. She was one of the only that didn't jump as the man slammed his hand on the desk. Viv didn't need to worry, she was a junior... again.

"I'm a clown. I have issues and I enjoy having issues."

Viv's eyes widened with a slight realization. 'He's the Joker!'[/i] All three thought at the same moment. Vivian couldn't help but giggle. This was too good to be true. She stared now, completely enthralled with what ever the man had to say. As soon as she heard him ask for someone to tell him who the were, she stood, a mysterious sly smile planted on her lips.

"It depends on who yer talkin' ta, Mister. Jo-er Napier. Hehe, i meant Napier!" A nervous knot formed in the pit of the girls stomach. "I have multiple personalities, fer starters. Three! It's like having two other sisters that ya can't leave behind in a corn field. All three of us'll never give up in a fight. Ask Arkham, they'd know. My other two personalities are named Vironica and Victoria. I'm Vivian!" her high pitched voice chirped as she let one of her other's take over. Vivi's eyes changed from a blue green to more of a Grey Green. "Our powers are split between the three of us," Vironica's harsher voice said. She waited until the teacher wanted to hear more to speak again.

[Darcy Leone]

The Joker's eyes widened with glee at not only that a student piped up, but one he could really work with. He threw the Snickers bar to the girl. His already smiling face turned to a grin while his bruised fingers brushed his chin.

[purple]"Split personalities make for multiple strengths and conflicts don't they miss V? You were in Arkham? I got a good feeling about you..."[/purple]

He began to pace back and forth again moving his hand that was once at his mouth back in the position of pointing a finger at everyone.

[purple]"Question: Does anyone here like studying? It's boring right? If someone has these abilties, why waste them on a book is my motto. In my History class, you can take the books and rip them in half, stomp on them, do whatever you please."[/purple]

His expression didn't change as the kids all looked confused. He walked over to a kid with dark hair and green eyes. He looked like he was about to wet himself. Jack simply smiled.

[purple]"May I?"[/purple]

The kid quickly handed Jack the book. Something in him knew that despite the fact that his teacher was polite... There was something off about him. Jack went from smiling and walking slowly to the front to another second, freaking out and decimating the textbook given to him. He threw it at both walls, the seams were coming out from his anger. His hands tore the book in half like it was nothing and all in that half minute, he threw it in the garbage can near him. He shrugged his arms at all of the pansies he had in his class. Agression in Jacks opinion was the first step to truly learning.

[purple]"Well... GO!"[/purple]

[Victoria Cri]

Vivi nodded. "That they do. Believe me!" She said as he caught the snicker's bar. "Yeah, I've been to Arkham plenty of times." Vironica took a seat with that. Vivian was gnawing her ear off on the inside. 'He likes us! He likes us!!! I need ta get is autograph!!! Long live the Clown Prince!'[/i] Niica rolled her eyes at what Viv said. "Boy are you annoying," she whispered to Viv.

Hearing what Mr. Napier said, she instinctively let Vivian take over. Niica wouldn't hear the end of it if she didn't. Eyes changing back to blue green, a malicious smile crept across her face as she grabbed the book. 'May I? Please? I wanna burn it!'[/i] Victoria begged. Vivian purse her lips and took a moment to think. Sighing, she gave in. Cat Green eyes stared down at the book in her hand as Vickie took over. A sly smile spread wide across her lips. Eyes dilating, she focused on the book. Suddenly, it burst into flames. She kept it burning for a little bit, holding it solidly in her hand.

[Darcy Leone]

Jack couldn't control himself. His fist kept punching down on his desk while he was laughing hysterically at the children instilling chaos in the room. Most of them looked like they were having a good time. His laugh was chilling and high pitched. His eyes moved over to what Vivi was doing. Burning books? Why that should be a crime! He walked over to her desk in the big classroom and looked at her burn the books with what looked to be pyrokenesis.

[purple]"Oooooh! Productive and environmentally friendly! I love it!"[/purple]

His sick grin widened as he walked back to his desk and tried to regain his composure. He cleaned up. No point in turning back into the Joker... Nomatter how badly he wanted to.

[purple]"I'm afraid class will be rather s-short today. You know that saying: Do as I say. Not as I do? That is not the objective of my History class. I want you to learn History by making it through experience. Reinacting it. Understanding the nature of p-p-people's actions. That is my goal. For you to truly understand History."[/purple]

He wanted to make himself somewhat popular with the kids. And what better way to do it then to tell them to burn their learning tools. Jack always wanted to do that when he was in school... As long as he remembered.

[purple]"And seeing as your learning materil is gone, there will be NO homework tonight! Get out of my class! Enjoy your day!"[/purple]

He sat down in his seat and pretended to "grade" assignments. His glasses were on as he was scribbling down notes on a piece of paper. He knew someone was going to talk to him afterclass. It was only natural. Many of the students didn't quite open up to him. He had to keep working on that.

[Victoria Cri]

Victoria smiled and shrugged. "It is the best way to get rid of anything unwanted," she said. This class was shaping up to be a real fun class. Vivian was overjoyed in the inside. Vivian was practically obsessed with the Joker and Harley, so having Mr. Napier as a teacher was wonderful. It wasn't that hard to deduce who he truly was. Maybe they should talk to him.

She stared off, too distracted with her inner thoughts and conversations. Shaking her head, she was pretty surprised to see that the classroom had emptied out. The girl bit her lip, deciding to let a more comfortable personality take over.

Vivian blinked her eyes and her lips crossed in a sly smile. She stood up and headed towards the teachers desk, not too convinced that he was really grading much of anything. "Hey teach, can i talk ta ya. I highly doubt that yer really gradin' anything."

[Darcy Leone]

Jack removed his glasses. His stone cold eyes turned to Vivi as he moved what he was "doing" aside. She was the one who took such an interest to him in class. He wasn't sure about the other personalities. That was the issue with schizo's. Sometimes you can't tell what they're thinking. His hands came together as his face turned to more of a smile.

[purple]"Smart girl. Is there anything I can help you with Miss Cri?"[/purple]

He knew her name. Knew her ability. It was all in the records. What he didn't know was that on the first day he'd possibly have a new student. A real student. In his efforts to get someone to talk to him, it helped Jack realize with this confused youth standing in front of him... It was only the beginning.

[Victoria Cri]

She smiled, nodding her head. "Oh, there is plenty you could help me with, Teach. But i just have one real question right now." Victoria cursed Viv from the inside. 'Are you mad? How do we even know that it is who we think? We're smart, but maybe it is just a coincidence!'[/i]

Vivian tried not to laugh. It was always funny to her when she got yell at. And even if she was wrong, at least she asked. Sighing, she ignored Vickie. "I'm just curious. How;d you get a job here? I mean, with out them knowin' who you are? I may act dumb sometimes, but i can always tell when i see my hero, Mister Joker." She had a sly smile on her lips, knowing that she couldn't be wrong. The Joker had always been her 'hero' per say. It would be impossible for her not to notice him.

[Darcy Leone]

Jack grinned and stood up. She figured him out. A little too soon. Had to play it casual.

[purple]"Why... You mean that maniac that set Gotham in turmoil? Oh... I get it... The scars."[/purple]

He moved his hand to his face, feeling his scars from side to side.

[purple]"This is a very uncommon scar isn't it? Always looks like I'm smiling! But what if..."[/purple]

He moved closer to her. His hand firmly grasped her shoulder as he moved in closer to her face.

[purple]"-I was... A war vet. Some junkie could have had a feild day with me and carve these scars here. What if I was a tortured soul in my youth that went to a rave and ended up at the wrong end."[/purple]

He started giggling with his raspy voice.

[purple]"The butt... Of the joke!"[/purple]

He also put his finger up to his mouth, letting go of his firm grasp on Vivi's shoulder.

[purple]"If I was really The Joker, do you think I'd have the composure to teach a History class? Last I checked that man was locked up in Arkham for damage beyond repair."[/purple]

[Victoria Cri]

'See, I told you!''[/i] Victoria cried triumphant on the inside, but Vivian wasn't too convinced. Last she had heard, Joker had also broke out. She had been there when it happened. But maybe she could bite. Play his little came and get him to tell her otherwise.

"If that were the case, then I'm sorry fer askin'... But ya really aren't too convincing. And yes, i think that you could have the composure, if you really wanted to. But that's just me. Unless you can convince me otherwise." She tried to look serious, though it was hard. This was just too exciting for her. His laugh, she had heard it. And that was all she needed to hear to know that what she was saying was true, and that he was lying.

[Darcy Leone]

Jack winked at her. His smile turned to a grin. In time she would join him. His excapade of chaos would be more then enough for this girl's enjoyment. He wanted her in on it in the end. Score one for team Joker!

[purple]"Well then. You have a nice day Miss Cri."[/purple]

As he walked towards the door, he turned around with his sick grin.

[purple]"Oh and Miss V... Try not to get in too much trouble. Wouldn't want ya getting hurt..."[/purple]

And so Jack Napier a.k.a. The Joker exits hopefully leaving valuable insight on his first real student. Next to his beloved Harley of course...
