Journalism Class - Friday September 23

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider is sprawled atop his desk, cat draped over his feet, staring up at a holo feed that is playing on the celing. He has a large mug of something that is steaming gently beside him and a pack of cigarettes with a lighter atop it by his elbow. The rest of the newsfeeds are also on, but muted.

The one above him seems to be going on at some length about prisoner riots.

On a large board propped up in front of the class is a sign that reads:

Attention students:

Today is gossip day. I want you to spend the class period discussing the strangest and most vicious rumors you've heard regarding the school, your schoolmates, the townies and your professors. Go nuts. At the end of class, I will go back and review and whoever came up with the best (ie most fascinating, funny or repeatable) rumor will win a prize.

Also? Homework assignments for next week, coming to a notice board near you.

Duce smiles wryly, "We're originally from almost that far in the other direction of history. Reincarnation's a bitch. You should see that movie, it's pretty funny. Cute guy in a loincloth doing stupid-human tricks."

Duce says blithely, "Hadn't been invited to? Haven't really seen you guys outside the clubhouse much lately."

"Maybe you can come up to the Attic sometime and watch with me and Callisto and 'Yana. We don't bite. Unless you want us to." Beka winks, and smiles. OK, so, yeah the whole snake thing is a bit weird, but... Chiana's monochrome, and she's giving relationship advice to Death. Hardly weirder than that. "Really."

Feeling sort of badly about Duce having been left out, if she was interested, she adds, "I'll ask the others if they mind if I invite some new friends next time. If you'd be interested?"
