As the bell rung, Stephanie Brown decided it would be best to move ahead with today's class. After studying months of Shakespeare and learning the techniques and traditions of Elizabethan theater it was time to announce the school's production for this year. While Stephanie was aware that the rumors circulating campus was that the class would be putting together a modernist take on Macbeth, she had something quite different in store for her students.

"As many of you know, the next step in this class is to audition for the upcoming production. While I have heard the whispers through the grapevine that many of you believe this year's play will be a take on Macbeth, I'm here to announce that you've been sadly mistaken." From her desk, Miss Brown picked up her tablet, pressing her thumb against the scanner as the screen illuminated and unlocked. Turning the device around, a cover that could have passed for parody artwork stared back at the class.

"This year, we'll be doing a production of Ian Doescher's 'William Shakespeare's Star Wars Verily, A New Hope'." Miss Brown said as several gasps of shock and excitement escaped the class in front of her. Mari felt a slight smirk cross her lips as she cocked her head to get a look at Freddie. There was no doubt in her mind that Freddie's inner Brit was raging and ready to burst forth and bring the fury of a thousand burning teas on Miss Brown.

"At least it's still 'Shakespeare." Mari muttered out of the corner of her mouth. Her body quivering slightly with silent mirth as the words left her.

Making eye contact with Tanya, Mari tilted her head towards the tablet and mouthed the word 'Who' towards her. In all honesty Mari had no interest in auditioning for a role. She'd prefer to be backstage if at all possible but as part of the class she at least have to audition for a main role whether she got it or not. The obvious choice was naturally Princess Leia, there was after all a limit on female characters present in the original Star Wars, or at all now that Mari thought about it. To be honest, her excitement towards the project was almost genuine. As much as Mari did like to distance herself from her parents, at part of her was soft for the nostalgia of her father making her watch every one of the films even though her mother couldn't stand the inaccuracies about space travel and general life in space.

"I've sent a copy of the play to each one of you. I suggest you take this class time to break into groups and begin reading together, try switching roles every few scenes to allow yourself the chance to try each of the cast out." Miss Brown's voice broke into Mari's thoughts as she turned her attention back to the front of the class. "Auditions will begin a week from today, I have attached the specific scenes I want read for each character so please give them a look over as well." Pausing she looked at the class again. "But most importantly, have fun with it!" Returning behind her desk, Stephanie sat down before waving her hands towards the class. "Well go on, the time is yours now. That's all I have for you today."

Turning to Freddie and Tanya, Mari motioned for the three of them to pull a couple desks together as she looked around the class to see if there was anyone else. Eyeing up Casey, Mari waved towards him before calling out to him.

"Yo Greenie, you want to read with us?"

So I assume Grayson is in his thirties or fourties, Bruce's fifties or sixties, Tim's probably in his thirties, Damian in his twenties?

If Bruce is still running around, an excuse could be a Lazarus Pit.

@Nightrunner

I always see Bruce as too stubborn to use the Lazarus pit and instead starts to use more Batman Beyond style armors which enhance and support his aging body.

Speaking of which. Do we get to find out who the current members of the Teen Titans and Young Justice teams are?

Edit: Not Young Justice since they're permanently dissolved.

@King Kindred

Honestly haven't put any thought into as most of the canon young heroes would be matured by now. Damian Wayne is likely leading the primary Titans Team but aside from that the teams would be made mostly of OC characters.

I think there would be other options for the students. There's always a need for support staff and the like. It's hard to see that there's either the option that you make it, or you get mind wiped.

@Blue Demon

Oh yes, I should have mentioned support staff roles and other support roles for the Justice League and Titans. Of course there are those who do go rogue.

It stands to reason that there would be several other options - other than the Titans for someone to join, such as Justice League Dark, Outsiders, Young Justice ( The Team.), A.R.G.U.S and so forth and so on. But I'd imagine that it's still a minority of students who actually do get to be sanctioned superheroes by the League. (Justice Foundation? Fuck do they call it all) I think the mind wiping would only be regarding the more sensitive information, such as secret identities, powers and weaknesses, etc.

Though, I must admit, it does put a nice little spin on the plot if those that aren't the creme of the crop would get brainwashed. Increase that competitive spirit a bit.

@Hillan

I personally like to hold to the idea that Young Justice is permanently dissolved. That said, I believe in there being the Teen Titans, Titans East and Titans West. The primary Teen Titans serve the primary purpose of the Young Justice team being a covert operative team and going international while the Titans East and West are limited to the States.

I don't believe that anyone would be put on a League Roster, America, Dark, Detroit etc straight after Graduation. There would need to be special circumstances. As for A.R.G.U.S, S.H.A.D.E. etc, I'm not overly familiar with how they operate but due to them being linked to the government, I assume they have a stand-off relationship with the League and as such don't directly recruit out of Corrigan but rather try to cherry pick candidates. Likewise I see the Outsiders as a sort of 'special operations' team that Batman or whomever only puts together when needed, not a standing roster.

Also, I feel I should re-iterate that no one gets their mind wiped (unless you do drop out) and even then I lean towards memory alteration more akin to Spryal's implants where faces become vague and names are lost. All their training and education stays in contact in the hopes that perhaps one day they might be ready.

@Lord Wraith I forgot to tag you last I asked.

How many classes have graduated to Titanhood?

What's the enrollment process like? Invitation only? By recommendation?

Do they come out losing their secret identities since they all go to the same school? Like, can the average Joe just walk in, get to know students and walk out knowing their actual IDs before piecing together that they have a secret ID of some sort? Or are the only people who call it the JL Academy people who'd keep it a secret?

Is there any particular place/class I should send Crosshairs to for first period or shoult I wait for the next GM post? Cuz, I'd have written more, but didn't know what I should've put down. So.. yeah.

NPCs: Can we make up other students if we have scenes to write out but don't want it from interaction?

@Nightrunner

The RP takes place in 2025, saying construction on the school started in 2015, lets say there has been roughly eight graduating classes. That said, only the top performers of each class actually graduate to become Titans. The rest are either recommended as sidekicks or are put into civilian life. Those who are put into civilian life undergo a memory alteration in order to secure the identities of the staff, students and other heroes.

Admission into Corrigan is on a Sponsorship basis. A recognized hero has to sponsor you in order for admission. For this reason the majority of campus are related to the Justice League.

As for classes for Crosshairs, it depends on whether you want to set up for interaction. If you don't desire interaction at the moment you can send him wherever you please and of course you can write NPCs into the background. It's already been done several times. If you do desire interaction then it would be best to send Crosshairs to one of the classes mentioned in the IC by other characters.

Well time to post about everything.

@Avanhelsing

This should be a long one then.

@Lord Wraith

Trying to save space not like our ooc, because sometimes my posts get a bit long and I feel the need to make them smaller. So Bamm! Into a small compact hider they go!

@ArtifactCreator

Alright well don't feel like you need to do that. I'd be afraid of your posts being skipped over.

The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development (A DC School RP)

@ArtifactCreator Why do you put your posts in hiders?
