Does this count as after class, Prof. Cregg?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Well, class is over, isn't it?

Ok, Chip, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to explain what's going on. You had a good start and *proceeds to scold him for whatever, and only halfheartedly*

But really, I wanted to talk to you about something else.

Tell me about where you came here from.

"Ok, Chip, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to explain what's going on. You had a good start and *proceeds to scold him for whatever, and only halfheartedly*"

I've been, uh, having difficulty with being shot in the ass and getting high on painkillers adjusting. But I'm straightening everything out right now cause I really, really, REALLY don't want to go to detension.

"Tell me about where you came here from."

*looks *PROFOUNDLY* uncomfortable*

*tries to joke it off*

What, the 51st century? I thought we weren't supposed to tell people too much about the future. You know, if you knew you were being worshipped as a goddess three millenia from now... oops, did I say that out loud?

Snap out of Chip. I'm serious. *looks very serious, in a not unfriendly way (http://www.bravotv.com/images/The_West_Wing/allison_janney_pic.jpg)*

I know a little bit, but only you can fill in the gaps here. Are you from the future, or from time in general?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Well, I was *born* in a particular time. No one is from "time in general" unless you like to believe fairy tales about Time Lords who can control it. *disdainful as only a teenage boy can*

But I'm guessing that's not what you want to hear. And it's not that easy. It's kind of all... *breaks off*

Basically, they said if I wanted to be a time agent, attending a school with a lot of people from different times and dimensions would be an excellent idea. So here I am.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ok. I'll give you that.

What do you want to be when you grow up Jack?

*looks at him so directly he may feel unomfortable, like she's waiting for him to say something wrong*

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

I... want to be a time agent. Wrap up anomalies, fix paradoxes. See everything and every-WHEN.

I want to play with time. Wouldn't it be fun to go hang out in Pompeii?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

You mean before it fell victim to the wrath of nature? Or after?

Look, I don't mean to put you on the spot like this, and I realize that you're a kid, but it seems to me that we could help each other out.

Do you want to help me...Chip?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Well, get out before, of course. *grin* Duck out right before disaster.

And... yes. If you need my help, I want to help you. What can I do? *is puzzled by emphasis on nickname "Chip"*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Excellent. *Puts her hand on his shoulder* you're a good kid, Jack.

I'll talk to you later about what I want you to do, but I'm glad I can trust you.

Now, if you wouldn't mind, could you go find veronicamars1 and the two of you get the African Queen homework done?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

*confused by willing*

Okay. Movie time. Find cute blonde, watch movie. I can do that.

But, seriously... if you need me for help, please let me know?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can count on that.

*Smiles radiantly*

I'll see you tomorrow, Jack.
