NNSE, Monday, Period 1 [Oct 22]

Lulu was setting up a television screen at the front of the class as the students came in. "Hello, everyone," she said, as they took their seats. "We're deviating slightly from the syllabus again today; we're going to be watching a movie about relationships. It's called The Reverse of Gratification."

[OOC: Sorry for the lame class, I had today's class all typed up but forgot to save it. Boom, computer lock-up, and no time to rewrite it. We'll get back to talking about sex next week. ~~Please wait for~~ OCD is up!]

Or talk amongst yourselves. Just keep it quiet for the others.

Anemone really didn't want to watch a movie about relationships today. No way. Instead she pulled out the new issues of Ray=Out that Maria had brought her and started flipping through them, occasionally glancing up at the screen.

Jack wished he had popcorn.

And a visitor from last weekend. Man, he didn't have anybody.

Ino quietly boggled at how messed up the people in the movie were.

Gavin, too...something from this weekend, didn't want the movie. He spent the time looking at the wall.

Rikku couldn't focus on the movie, and couldn't even doodle properly with her arm still in a sling. She settled for staring at her desk and wishing class would be over.

That... was a sight that Sokka wouldn't have thought was possible.

He stared for a while, not really sure if he should say anything.

And then he blurted out, "Did your parents do that to you?"

Rikku jumped, pulled out of her reverie. "What?"

She blinked, and then looked down at her arm. "Oh. No. Took on something bigger than I should have."

Sokka nodded sympathetically. He did that a lot. "Deadpool?" he ventured.

Rikku laughed at that. "Don't be silly. He wouldn't break my arm. I'm his Li'l Minion. He even got me an ice cream pony."

She lifted a shoulder. "I, uh, went on patrol, with Mel. We ran into someone scary and ... dunno why I went. Keep pretending I can fight and I just get my butt handed to me."

"But... you CAN fight," Sokka protested.

He brought his hands up into a fighting stance -- as much as possible while seated, anyway. "Am I gonna have to get my butt kicked? I will, too. Don't make me do it!"

Rikku giggled. "I suckerpunched you a few times. Not the same thing. Kinda can't fight right now anyway."

She shook her head, making a face. "Don't ... don't mind me. It's just kinda been a bad month."

Sokka nodded. "Robot raccoons trying to kill you, too? Did you meet Jude's overprotective big brother?"

"Vampire," she said. "Really strong one. Tried to pull my Godhand off, and then beat me in the head with it."

In a softer voice, she added, "Jude's gone."

"Vampires you need to kill with... Salt? Or silver. Maybe holy water."

Oooh, Professor Winchester would be so disappointed in him.

"So... When's Jude getting back?" he asked. "Your month's gonna suck until he does, huh?"

"You can stake them. But not if they've just snapped your arm and shoved a spike into your head." She stared at the desk. "He's ... he's not."

Sokka blinked. "No, seriously. When's he getting back?"

"His mom's sick," she said, not looking up. "She ... and so he has to ... and his dad, with the hospital, and ..."

"Wow," Sokka breathed. "That's..."

He patted her shoulder awkwardly. "I'm sorry."

Rikku shuddered, closing her eyes. "It's okay," she lied. "I m-mean. My mom. She's gone, you know? I get it. It's not ... he has to, it's not like it's us. And. And maybe someday we'll ... you know." Deep breath. "I'm fine."

"Yeeeeeeah," Sokka said. "Sure you are. I can't believe how fine you are."

He shrugged sadly. "My mom's gone, too."

"Okay," she said. "Fine. I feel like my heart's being all smashed up into bits and I keep waiting for him to walk through the door and it's hard to fall asleep by myself and I just wanna wake up and go 'wow, that was a horrible nightmare' and have him go 'it's okay, bra' and kiss me until I forget that any of this happened. And then somebody beat the crap out of me and oh, yeah, Hamlet's a ghost now and I don't know how to help him or if I'll be able to see him again and I really thought Bayla was gonna be ours, his and mine, and this is all wrong and I don't know how to fix it any more. I just said I was fine 'cause I'm sick of crying and it doesn't change anything and I figured you didn't want to hear all of that anyway."

After a few moments, she added, "I'm sorry about your mom."

Sokka blinked at her. And blinked again.

And patted her shoulder awkwardly again. And blinked.

And then, because "Wow, sucks to be you" was SO not the right response, he eventually came up with "...Do you want to go beat something up? Or get some ice cream?"

"That might be nice," she said. "The ice cream. Not the beating something up." She lifted the sling again.

Inara wasn't really concentrating, but she watched the movie anyway.

When she is with the pinging-ness.

She's here. Still half-expecting Jude to be there when she looks around.

Just not while she's watching the movie.

Argh, computer. *kicks it*
