Study Hall -- Tuesday, September 20th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

This is the study hall for Tuesday. If I even smell rose-scented shampoo on one of you little bastards, I'll punt you so far off-campus you'll be in orbit around Pluto for a week before you come down.

Today's announcements:

-- For the record, I want you little punks to understand that the ban on weapons is not meant to punish those of you who can handle weapons maturely and responsibly -- and don't think I don't recognize those of you with that sort of skill -- it's to punish those who have informed others to arm themselves against certain students and faculty, those who have issued death threats in public, and those who have left their weapons in a place where someone lacking proficiency can simply pick them up and possibly injure someone.

Also, I know that certain students have asked about exceptions to that rule, and the exceptions are so: If you cannot remove the weapon from your body without impairing yourself to the point of a severe handicap, if your weapon is sentient and will get pissed off if you leave the room, if your "weapon" is not actually defined as a weapon and is not intended to harm any of the students at the school (See: Zero's croquet mallet), or if your body is the weapon and you use to fight evil and to make the occasional tuna fish sandwich. Aside from that, you should presume that you are safe on this campus and behave accordingly, regardless of what certain flower arrangements might tell you.

-- Addendum: Whoever sent that flower arrangement is getting fucking disemboweled. As the principal, I'm at least reserving that right.

-- We now have a new cafeteria chef in swedish_chef_. He seems to have a thing for chicken. Well, hell, it's better than grilled gremlin.

-- For the record, the events for October include Homecoming on the seventh and an open house for parents, guardians, and other people who seem to think they run your life on the last weekend of October. Open house will include a costume party in the gym for anybody who wishes to attend.

-- (OOC: And in another note, if you guys are going to do something huge and dark that's going to traumatize a lot of the students, we admins would appreciate a warning first. And no, the weapons ban doesn't count. *smirks as several students grumble and lower their hands* Just remember, guys, this game simply isn't for your enjoyment, it's for everybody else's as well ... some of us shouldn't be driven to drink by it. ;) EDIT: ... then again, maybe what this place needs is a drinking game. *toddles off to OOC*)

Faith walked into study hall, hungover and grumpy. She sat down at a desk in the back, and attempted to try and concentrate on homework.

*walks by * hey Faith.... hows it goin?

[OOC: Drink one shot every time someone whines about the weapons ban *bg* that would get you drunk in no time]

*Elizabeth sits down at one of the desk. Surprisingly, she doesn't have very much of a hangover, as she did remember Hank's advice (thanks to a post-it-note she had written before drinking too much), but she is still feeling groggy from passing out (luckily in her own bed) amidst a drunken stupor*

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

(OOC: Everybody's spending more time complaining about the weapons ban in and out of character than actually doing anything about getting it lifted IN character. Now, that's driving me to drink.)

Anders comes in, still in his running shorts and jersey, munching on an apple. He digs in his backpack and pulls out some paper sent from home (with the corners cut off so it doesn't look all four-sided and unnatural), then gets to work on planning out his presentation for Classics.

*Johnathan walks into study hall, once again trying to test his toxin. With the newly aquired supplies from CVS, he is certainly closer to achieving his goal*

Hmm... I wonder if this counts as a weapon? *He muses as he continues mixing various chemicals*

[mycanonhatesme]

[OOC: Heh. CVS: Supplying meglomaniacal villains with tools for worldly choas since 1972.]

*makes her way into study hall with her Biology books* Of all the places to almost be late to...

*spies an open chair by Jonathan* Is this seat taken?

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

*is glad he doesn't wash his hair, ever. An orbit around Pluto sounds not very inviting*

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

Allie enters study hall and waves shyly to Edward.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

*listens to Hall and Oate's "Private Eyes" on his sekrit cylon device iPod and works on his homework*

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica enters study hall and spots Lee.

Deciding that she's tired of playing phone tag, she snags a chair next to him and sits in silence, waiting for him to look up and notice her.

*raises hand*

Principal Connor, do we have to invite our guardians to open house?

I'm pretty sure inflicting my sponsor on the school would violate that part Geneva Convention dealing with cruel and unusual punishment.

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

"And on that note, can we invite people who are not our legal guardians?"

[persian-eunuch.livejournal.com]

*comes in, overloaded with books as all his classes are today* *drops the stack on a desk, sits down and tries to read, looking dead tired*

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

::walks in between classes and spots the poor, overloaded boy::

Salutations! You're Bagoas, correct?

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

*pops in with what looks like a crudely constructed remote control and starts tinkering with it with a grin*

[chasingangela]

*Slouches into a chair, begins studying for her criminology test.*

Rory writes Angela a note and throws it so that it just barely lands on the table.

Things any better?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory curls up in the back of the room, this time reading something by Yukio Mishima

[fh_jackass]

Logan sits down next to Rory. "So, apparently I'm having dinner with your family tomorrow night. Anything I should know beforehand?"

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Thomasina, having finally given up on her English class ever meeting, has decided to try study hall. She comes in carrying her usual exercise book and pen and ink, as well as a rather largish stack of books, which she places on a table off to one side and divides into two smaller piles. The one on the right is composed as such titles as Episodes from the Early History of Mathematics, The Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathemastics and Mesopotamian Mathematics 2100-1600 BC. The one on the left has The Private Life of the Romans and a few other things in this vein. She looks completely prepared to do exactly what the class's name would indicate it was meant for: study.

Yeah, um, on the guardian thing? I don't have any guardians, really. Well, I have a little brother. And a superior officer (although he's apparently here as well and enjoying fucking with my head by pretending not to know who I am). There is That Bastard, but I don't know where the hell he is and if I see him again I have to punch him in the head a lot, so I don't think he'll make it here.

*That being said, Edward takes out about five alchemy texts and starts in on his pet project.*

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

I understand, Edward. The closest thing I have to guardians would be either Professor Xavier or Logan.

::thinks on Logan's reaction to Fandom High and shudders violently::

I don't think that either would be a good idea.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Having, for the moment, very little in the way of classes, Krycek decides to spend the morning in study hall to at least feel like he's keeping busy. Sliding into a seat, he pulls out a small leather-bound book to read... And then loses his train of thought as soon as he begins thinking about who'd come to open house for him.

[mycanonhatesme]

[OOC: Awwww. *pets Krycek*]

[swerval_zero]

...I'm an exception? Swerval. *takes seat near windows, croquet mallet propped against her leg* Anybody who wants gremlin protection...might want to sit near me.

[chasingangela]

Angela leans over to talk to Zero. "Hey, I haven't seen you in, like, days. What's going on?"

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie is reading his Latin textbook, looking for ideas for his in-class presentation. His guitar is in its case by his side.

Perhaps more daydreaming than reading is going on. It's been known to happen.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie comes in with a large ball of sturdy twine and what looks like an oversized bubble wand, and starts working on what looks like a knotwork project of some sort . . .

Fandom High Drinking Game

[fh_jackass]

[ooc: Drink one shot for every struck-out slashy comment.

Drink one shot every time Rover vibrates.

Drink one shot every time Angelus convinces someone he's an innocent.

... anyone else have suggestions?]

Re: Fandom High Drinking Game

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Drink one shot two guys deny they're into each other.

Drink one shot whenever girlcrichton makes an appearance...]

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

[OOC: SWEDISH CHEF! Bwahahaha! I love you guys so much. ^-^]

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

Wanders into study hall, takes a seat at one of the back tables, and pulls out some of his homework to finish up. Keeps a sharp eye out for any unusual goings-on.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Comes in and takes out her bio homework. Looks around at the guys in study hall and wonders how many of them already have a date to Homecoming and if she's going to manage to find anyone to go with.

Sighs and settles down to work.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

*goes to the same corner he occupied yesterday, but this time he is carrying a backpack filled with assorted computer parts. Bridge dumps them on the floor, and then sits down and starts working on something, muttering quietly to himself*

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*heads towards a table in the corner*

*opens a notebook with "Election 2005" on the front and starts to scribble lists*

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna spreads her things out in the back of the room and begins to doodle in her notebook.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker slumps in, shades off, and look around for people to plot campaigns with. She already has the white noise generator out.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Miss Parker!" Alanna nearly jumps out of her seat, happy to have a real excuse not to do her work.
