Journalism Field Trip

[mitsumushi.livejournal.com]

Mitsumushi was waiting silently outside the library, a stem of flowers in one hand, almost dancing to and fro as she explored the hallway. She'd been here often enough with Abe no Seimei, but this was the first time she'd waited to guide anyone else.

Spotting the man she'd agreed to meet, she came to a graceful halt, smiling and waiting for him to approach.

Spider was in a relatively good mood this morning. Bag over his shoulder, he approached the pretty girl and gave her a smile. "Good morning, Mitsumushi. Thank you for agreeing to this."

"It was my pleasure," she told him softly, returning his smile. "When do you wish to leave?"

"As soon as my merry band of no-doubt heavily armed reprobates arrives," Spider told her. "Until then, all we have to do is wait."

Jake arrives early, for once walking properly instead on shuffling. She's wearing a backpack with her Spider Emergency Box (http://tentative.net/sascha/jake/fandomhigh/notebook/seb.jpg), has tied her hair up and is wearing pale blue sneakers.

"... and here's one now. Sort of." Spider grinned at Jake. "Good morning. Got plenty of coffee?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Beans, instant, and..." She rummages through the backpack a little before triumphantly pulling out a thermos. "And this. I learn."

"They fit okay?" Rory asks with a nod tot he sneakers.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake turns to grin at her. "They do!" She bounces on her feet, demonstrating the fit. "I'll take real good care of them, I swear."

Chloe comes up to the group, pleased to see that she's arrived before almost everyone else. She's wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, and a backpack. She was never a Girl Scout, but being at this school has taught her the value of always being as prepared for disaster as possible.

"Good morning, Sullivan," Spider greeted her. "I think you're with Gavin's group this morning...?

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe nods, glancing over at Jake. "Yeah, it should make for an interesting trip."

Rory arrives, bringing several cups of coffee. "Hey, anyone who's not caffeinated - or not caffeinated enough," she adds, smiling at Jake, "help yourselves."

She's wearing some of her oldest clothes, and has her hair done in two pigtails...hopefully, this is correct treasure-hunting wear.

"Gilmore," Spider greeted her, stealing one of the cups. "All set to find the perfect, jewels-beyond-price to accessorize your Homecoming ensemble with?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory snorts in a very unladylike way.

"Maybe not for Homecoming, sir, since I'm apparently...going grunge for it. But the perfect jewels-beyond-price to pay for Harvard? That I can do."

George arrives, gratefully taking a cup of coffee from Rory. "Thanks. I overslept and thought I'd have to face this field trip sans caffeine."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Never," Rory says, pretending to be apalled. "No one should face anything sans caffeine. Besides, I'm actually trying to get rid of this stuff. I have an entire diner's worth of coffee in my closet...and under my bed...and just lying around my dorm room, because I made the mistake of signing for a delivery for Luke the other day."

Snagging a cup as well, Krycek drinks deeply, ignoring the near-scalding heat. He swings his backpack around as he stands there and rechecks the contents, making sure the few things he meant to bring are there.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Alex," Rory says, smiling.

*nods at Rory in greeting and takes a cup*

Thanks.

Duce shows up, yawning. She has her Knapsack of Doom. Nodding to Spider, she sits by the group and does inventory. Waterproof matches, firestriker with magnesium, plumber's candles, fold out camping shovel, cotton core nylon climbing rope, two tarps folded small, a red china marker, a spool of kite string, a rolled up bit of metal wire, a swiss army knife, a fold out locking knife, a small aluminum cooking set, what looks to be dried camp rations, a small bottle of water purifying pills, a rolled up bit of plastic tubing, a small container of thumbtacks, a medkit containing an extremely high tech venom extraction kit, a notebook, two disposable flash cameras, several pens and pencils. Strapped to the outside of the pack is a bedrol, and the sides of the pack have been equipped with dromedary bottles. There are also bungees and carabiners clipped on.

Grunting at all the..crap.. Duce shrugs to herself. She's dressed in faded black/grey jeans and a mottled grey t-shirt, topped by her leather jacket.

"I'm suddenly wishing you were in my group," Spider greeted her. "Ready?"

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Sorry I didn't notice this sooner; I've been working on the list. Anyway . . .]

Scooter shows up wearing his usual sneakers, jeans, tshirt and jacket. He has a backpack of supplies slung over one shoulder, his favourite poker in one hand and a thermos flask of hot chocolate in the other. His pockets are now sans fluorescent-pink gaffer tape, but they contain plenty of other odd and unusual things.

"Hey, Professor Jerusalem. Looks like a pretty good day for an adventure."

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

"That it does." Spider gestured at Mitsumushi. "This young lady is to be our guide. If you'd like to gather your group, she's ready anytime that you are."



((OOC: In short, make a post gathering your group on fandomhigh anytime you want and away you go.))

"Now this be a fine lookin' group of miscreants," Barbossa said, approaching the group in front of the library. He was dressed in his usual garb, with a sword and pistol hanging from his waist and bottles of rum bulging out his side pockets.

"Ready t'hunt fer treasure?"

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

"They've all signed legally binding documents saying that they're ready for pretty much anything." Spider gestured to the pretty girl with the flowers. "This is Mitsumushi, Abe no Seimei's assistant? She'll be our guide to the island. After that, we're all on our own. Glad to have you aboard, Barbossa... so to speak."


((OOC: Make a post for your group on fandomhigh whenever you're ready and away you go. I'll be available on AIM after 1730 CST for the rest of the night and most of the weekend if anyone needs anything.))

[lady-jessica-bg.livejournal.com]

I am here and (hopefully) relatively prepared.

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Most of our group are in fandomhigh chat - AIM version - if you wanna come join the kibbitzing. Just ping Jyuu Chan.]

Jack arrives nearly a half an hour before leave-time looking somewhat restless and agitated. He looks prepared for battle. Green BDU's, Survival pack, P90, back-up handgun, 2 knives, UV goggles, MRE's and water. You'd think he was going to be gone for a year or something.
