Study Hall -- Wednesday, September 28th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Wednesday's study hall. I'm in a considerably better mood than yesterday, which mostly means none of you will be getting set on fire today. I reserve the right to threaten you with it, though. You have no fucking idea how entertaining the looks on your faces are when I do that.

*grins wickedly and takes a drag off her cigarette*

The announcements for today --

-- Biff is missing once again from the front of the teachers lounge. If somebody could find that stupid goddamn bear and drag it back, I'd appreciate it. (I won't be rettaching any limbs you might lose, though. That's your fucking problem, not mine.)

-- After the events of last weekend, I'm thinking of lifting the weapons ban. I'll be opening up a discussion section in the comments for those opposed and those for the weapons ban to hash out any differences they might have, any requests they might have for licensing or policing those who wish to carry their weapons, and any other problems they might wish to discuss.

-- Parents Weekend will take place on October 28th, 29th, and 30th. For the record, you may make one new RPG journal for whichever parent, guardian, relation, or mortal enemy you might wish to bring in for your character. These characters cannot already be enrolled in the school or exist in town, and if you can find someone not already involved in the game to play them just for that weekend, all the better. However, these characters will not be allowed posting access on FH or any related communities, they will only be allowed to comment in designated threads -- open houses for classes, the Halloween dance, etc. They're only here to visit for one weekend, folks -- they won't be hanging in the dorms or taking classes or anything. Also, teachers will be allowed to call parent/teacher conferences with any of their students they might wish to meet with (or any "parent" they might wish to interview ... *snerk*).

(OOC: Also, for the record, I'm not playing John Connor anymore -- I've passed him off to someone else. Now he can get a little more play, the poor antisocial bastard. :))

Rory walks in, her arms full with a huge tray of coffee cups.

She sets them down at a table, and puts up a sign that declares:

FREE COFFEE
Endorse the Hottest Ticket in Town
Phoebe Halliwell
Liz Weir
Beka Valentine
Rory Gilmore
Anya Jenkins
And Elizabeth Swann

After adjusting the sign perfectly, she settles behind the table, taking a sip from her own significantly-larger cup.

If she looks a little pale, or there seem to be bags under her eyes, one might assume that she didn't sleep well. In any case, Rory realizes that personal problems and sleep deprivation aside, she needs to concentrate on her campaign.

Marty picks up a cup of coffee and makes a donation to the campaign.

[OOC: What about Alanna?]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Marty," Rory says, smiling weakly.

[ooc: Damn it! Our comments almost coincided, timing-wise. An DAMN IT. I copied that from the radio commercial last night, and I forgot that Parker had forgotten to put Alanna in. I'll fix it.]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"You okay? You look like you've only had twelve cups of coffee today."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Rory says. She pauses. "Do I really look that bad? I didn't sleep."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty gives Rory a look of concern.

"You sure you're all right. Don't forget."

Marty holds up a cup of coffee.

"Coffee buddy."

::on her way to Quantum Physics, Cally sets down two plates of "Vote Cally" cookies next to the sign as well::

It's okay if I put these here, right? ::smile::

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sure. You're running for Homecoming Queen, right? Thus, you're not competition, and people should consume coffee and baked goods together anyway," Rory says with a small smile.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Help yourself, I still have plenty more... I did a lot of baking before the Zombies interrupted everything.

::looks at her watch::

Eek, gotta get to class!

::rushes out the door::

Rory realizes she made a mistake and quickly scrawls something across the bottom of the sign.

It now reads:

FREE COFFEE
Endorse the Hottest Ticket in Town
Phoebe Halliwell
Liz Weir
Beka Valentine
Rory Gilmore
Anya Jenkins
And Elizabeth Swann
And Alanna Trebond for Securities, because though we love her, we keep forgetting to put her in our ads.

*Parker walks over and frantically adds "AND ALANNA TREBOND" onto the end of the poster-- no sense making the same mistake twice!*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory points (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/151117.html?thread=5858637#t5858637) to where she's already added Alanna.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Whew.

*Parker sits down*

She's going to filet me with her sword, you know that.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Nah, she'll understand. Alanna's a sweetheart. Plus, she loves my coffee, and that is in no short supply, as you can see," she says wryly.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

I do see. Hit me!

*drinks coffee*





_{[ooc: back in an hour, assume Parker is here helping]}

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Elizabeth sits down next to Rory and hopes that their campaign does get well endorsed. She was looking forward to running for secretary*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Elizabeth," Rory yawns. She takes another gulp of her significantly stronger and larger coffee, and rests her chin in her hand glumly.

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Morning. Long day? Or night? *she smiled cheerfully, trying to spread the cheer to Rory.*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory manages a ghost of a smile. "Long night. Didn't sleep."

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

There seems to be an ongoing case of insomnia traveling across campus. I haven't been lucky enough to have received it, but I'm sure my time will come.

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

Ms. Parker asked me to help out with this. What can I do?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, we're not really doing a lot...just handing out coffee and taking endorsements this morning," Rory says, perking up a little. "But you can definitely help with that. Have a seat."

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

"I can do that," Michael says lightly as he takes a seat. "Any coffee for the helpers?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Rory says, smiling - it doesn't quite reach her eyes, though. "I'm Rory Gilmore, by the way."

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

I'm Michael Samuelle. I'm dating Ms. Parker. I've seen you around - you always seem very nice. *He shrugs* And amazingly smart.
