Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Sorry for my short absence last week. I was called to do some advanced negotiations of my own because Mace Windu parked in Chancellor Palpatine’s spot. Again.

So, as I have to catch up, let’s catch up on some real life events. The zombie attack of last month. Which methods did you feel worked best to thin the zombie horde. Which did you feel were least effective. What sort of preparedness would you have in case this happens again?

Throwing coffee--the liquid--not so effective either. Beaning them with the cans from a couple stories up worked rather well, though.

Guess improvisation is always important in the heat of battle. You go to war with the canned goods you have and all that.

You threw coffee at them? Don't ever let the Librarian hear you say that. Or Doc. Or anyone in Classics come to think of it. Or that Jake girl. She might hurt you.

Improv is always a good thing, unless you're a mime. Or a brain surgeon.

Actually, most of the coffee grounds survived. The cans though, bent, bent, dinged.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Oh, well that's okay then. Poor cans though.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

They died the way they lived.

Being hurled at the undead?

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going to say defending against zombification. I've seen the students here before coffee and it's not pretty.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

True. But most of them don't try to eat your brain. I think.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Again, before coffee... And please don't ask further. *shudders*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Got it. Mum on the questions. *Does not ask why*

I didn't throw coffee. I like the stuff. Some of my best friends are addicts, etc. I haven't been on speaking terms with it since it turned me into my worst enemy through the evilness of the yearbook food, but I can understand other beings' attachment to it.

Someone else threw coffee fighting zombies in one of the diners. And got lectured about inappropriate wasting of resources for it, too.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

You were one of the ones who ate it? Have you learned nothing from this school? Never eat the food. Ever.

Well as long as they were properly lectured I guess it's okay. Ish.

I don't think I caught your name the first time we talked, Jack O'neill.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Well, I figured in a decision between the proven scariness of the cafeteria and the unknown quality of the yearbook food, I'd go for the unknown.

I've since been eating only things that I've been importing from home. Lesson well learned.

Anakin Skywalker. It's nice to meet you.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd hope that would teach you something. There's hope for you yet.

Anakin huh? Nice name. Where're you from?

I've been told the correct response around here is "a galaxy far, far away." Same time period as Professor Amidala. Originally from a little spit of a planet called Tatooine, but I've been living on Coruscant for the past eight years or so. When I wasn't off on other planets with my old teacher conducting advanced negotiations, that is.

[OOC: Hee. I know!]

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

So pretty much a long, long time ago? Wow. Never met someone from another planet before *Inner-Jack is giggling like little girl now. But that's okay because no one can see it*, what's it like where you come from?




[OOC: *Whine* My brain! So not fair. Jack is so much of the pop-culture that this place is killing me. I almost reffed the time he used the name Luke Skywalker. This is so not fair.]

More spaceships, fewer zombies. I'm a part of an organization charged with bringing peace and justice to the hundreds of systems that are part of the Republic, which accounts for what I have been told is a stupid haircut on this planet.

*yanks at his braid* It's kind of a stupid haircut on every planet. I think it's supposed to teach us humility or something.

But tell me more about your world. I'm assuming zombies and attacking gremlins are a normal part of your planet's vibrant ecology. Is that correct?

[OOC: Hee! Anakin wouldn't know who Luke is...and there's gotta be a few more Skywalkers bouncing around the galaxy...so if you want to mention it, go for it. Watching Anakin be confused and polite is always fun.]

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

It's not a stupid haircut just... different. Unique. Special. I'm part of an... organization that travels a bit and has a few things to do with piece. We have to have certin haircuts too but nothing as bad as the jarheads.

My planet. It's not really all that special, no zombies or gremlins or... tentacle things kept by what may-or-may-not be a vampire. I've seen a thing or two in my day though. This has actually been pretty relaxing, I've been here about a month an only had one minor incounter with something wanting me dead. If you don't count Kawalsky or Doc.

[OOC: Now I', gonna have to find a way to work that into conversation at some point...]

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

I didn't get lectured about the coffee. The moltov coktails i got grief for... and anyone who gives me grief about it in class will sorely regret it.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

The priorities around here. Crispy flaming zombies now or rum and cokes that we might not survive to drink later? I'll go with the dead zombies.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

There will always be more fermented beverage. I prefer being alive to find it.

Also, the coffee helped keep us alert, so, throwing it was a waste of resources.
