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?"

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...?

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.

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

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

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]

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."

[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."

"I could probably be persuaded to take some of that coffee off your hands. Most of my supply disappeared when my roommate did." George frowns. "You know, it's a little strange that his television and computer were left behind, but my coffee and coffee maker seem to have gone AWOL."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Interesting," Rory agrees, thoughtfully stroking her chin as though she had facial hair to thoughtfully stroke. "But yeah, you can definitely have some of the coffee. I've mostly just been using it in my campaign."

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George smiles around her coffee cup. "Awesome. You have my vote."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yay! And I'm voting for you for Homecoming Queen, by the way. I think," Rory says, trying to remember the other candidates. "I think you're the only one beside Lilly who I've ever really talked to, and I don't think I'd feel right voting for her after what happened yesterday."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

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

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George raises a brow. "Really? And what was that?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

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.

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."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Um...I guess she and Logan got into a really bit fight (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/160287.html?thread=6181151#t6181151)...or at least that's what I heard. But I don't think I'd vote for her simply because she's my boyfriend's ex, fight nonwithstanding."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory grins back. "Don't worry about it if something happens to them, though. It's not a big deal."

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George looks impressed. "Ouch. That was ugly."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"What? One of your favorites? Nah," she waves a hand. "I'll look after them. Thanks for lending them to me and all."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"So I heard. I'm just glad I wasn't there," Rory says, shaking her head ruefully. "And now I'm wondering how we're going to get our tickets."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No problem. I actually kind of forgot until it was almost curfew," she adds sheepishly. "That's why they were outside the door and all."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Alex," Rory says, smiling.
