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.

Phoebe came back in and sat at her usual seat, looking around to see who else was showing up to class. She was still wearing the dark sunglasses and she had another highly caffeinated beverage with her.

Duce contemplates just which of the rumours she's recently heard would be appropriate, and finally says, "We heard a teacher recently had an abortion because she was pregnant by an underage student and didn't want to get caught." She pauses, "We've also heard Professor Jackson is gay, but that's not so much rumour as attention to detail."

Rory sits down, looking highly uncomfortable, and trying to overhear the conversations around her.

Xander sits down, pulls a Twinkie out of his pocket and lays it on the desk in front of him, then scratches his head. "The only true gossip I know is about people who came from my other school, and most of it would either get my ass kicked, or not surprise anybody." He started unwrapping the Twinkie. "I mean -- '_gottahavefaith Good In Bed, News At 11' ? Not seeing the shock and awe."

A friend of a brother who knows my cousin who also goes here told me that the biology professor lets some sort of pheremone seep into her room just before classes that make all the male students want to sleep with her.

Don't believe me? Have you seen Jayne lately? Julian?

I rest my case.

Veronica sits back and quietly listens to the gossip going on around her. She isn't in the mood to share any of her own today.

Jessica doesn't bother to move. "Gossip and rumors," she thinks, "are key to understanding the whole of a situation, but not if I'm the one giving information away."

I heard that Professor Jerusalem actually loves children and really likes being hugged. In fact. I think Crichton should try that hug thing out. Right now.

Oh and Daniel Jackson is totally gay. So is Kawalsky. And pretty much everybody here.
