Dru's Classroom: the formation of a new club

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After his meeting with Grissom, Angelus made his way to Dru's classroom. He smiled. She'd left it for him to open, just as she'd promised.

He opened the door, switched on the lights, searched Dru's supplies for some poster board, then got to work.

It was going to be a long day.

Drumming her fingers again, "We're going to need plants. Unless you trust the student body to come up with cohesive, intelligent questions? Maybe the posters should have possible questions on them, just to get people thinking in the right direction."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"If I trusted the student body to come up with those questions on their own I wouldn't be here," Angelus said. "In fact, I'm actually thinking of posters and radio ads with those very things right up until the election. Won't do a damn thing for the debates or tomorrow night, but it might get a braincell or two to spark around here.

"As for tomorrow: plants and posters. Ideally, this is where the candidates themselves will come in handy. It'll be in their best interest to think of things to catch their opponants out."

Duce types something on her laptop, and after a moment, it pings at her. She glances at the message and offers, "We've got a go to use the press all night, provided we can get the materials together. Another suggestion was to print the event on one side of a notecard with blank lines on the back for people to write down the questions on, so they can bring them to the debate. Maybe with example questions around the border of the front side?"

Thinking of something, she adds, "Make sure the food is seperate from the debate area or there'll be at least one attempt to start a food fight."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That... is not an unwise idea," Angelus said. "I'll warn Logan. Think you can handle taking care of that card thing?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem. Can do notecards, flyers, window clings, fake newspapers.. " Snorting she grouses, "If the candidates had put forth their platforms already, we'd be happy to mock up an 'infomercial' type letter with the pros and cons of their campaigns.. buuuuut they didn't."

She considers that.. "Think we could get the write-ins to do it? If we can get it to press this afternoon, they'll be ready by tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No idea," Angelus said. "You're rooming with one. Cal promised to spread the word to the rest of the Batsh*t Ticket. I'm friends with another. At this point we may just want to do an all points bulletin on the school's email list. Speaking of which - " Angelus gave up on making a starter poster that was especially pretty or pithy " - Let me hang these up. We need more bodies in here. Be right back."

[ooc: He's got vamp speed and he's not going far. Just reply and assume the conversation resumes when he returns in five minutes]

"Yeah, we know. Des' calendar is.. " Her face suddenly twists into a somewhat comical mixture of frustration, annoyance, and abashedness. "We're useless tonight. Other committments. However, can still get the press run done. Just won't be useful hanging them. Where should they be delivered? Here?"

(ooc: Go for it. Duce would watch in amusement.)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, here," Angelus said. "We'll make this our offices for now. And I'll be gone tonight too. No way I'm sitting out that debate."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce's face is still decidedly odd, "We won't be at the debate either. We'll be busy.. at home. Are they being recorded? If not, can send someone to do it."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No idea, but considering the lack of privacy at this school I wouldn't hate having a personal tape for my own use," Angelus said. "You got a friend with a camera?"

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Or a Journalism Professor who has all the public areas bugged and could easily be persuaded to make a recording available as public record?))

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Sure! Angelus would just want to know that going in to the debate. ]

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

"We have a friend who has a whole fleet of cameras, and obnoxious reporters to go with them." Duce smiles slightly, "Including some really ugly little spycams. We'll make sure there's a video and audio record."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Angelus said. "You can take care of the details?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

While she was thinking about it, she fired off another email. "Consider it done. We doubt they'll let the reporters talk, but we just guaranteed coverage." She smiles lazily at nothing in particular, "It's so good to have minions."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I can cope with no talking," Angelus said. "Plenty of time for talking on Thursday if it comes to it. Long as we've got a record I'm happy."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

"Oh, we'll get a record. We can probably even wheedle Jerusalem into getting us copies of the records he'll undoubtedly have. His cameras are.. much better than the ones we have access to. And he did say he wanted to see more coverage on the election."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus tilted his head curiously. "What kinds of records does he have?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce gives Angelus an incredulous look, "He's the guy responsible for the spy cameras in the school - you know, the ones noone can find any trace of, that seem to record everything, everywhere? There's no way he'll pass up the opportunity to record the candidate's debates, and probably ours as well. We can't think of any reason he'd deny giving us copies.. but who knows."

The computer beeps. Duce glances at it and grins, "And on the third day, God spake, 'Let there be cameras', and there were, and they were good."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Angelus folded his arms as he leaned against the teacher's desk. "So where does he keep all those cameras? Don't tell me he's that interested in what we all do in the bathroom."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce snorts, "You've obviously never heard about his porn collection, then." Shrugging a shoulder, she answers, "We really don't know. The little bastard things are well-nigh undetectable, though, believe us - we've looked for them."

Her face is a study in irate neutrality. It's not as if she'd ever had access to those invisible cameras and used them to her advantage, after all.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No smell?" Angelus asked. "No sound? At all? Mind you, I've got really good ears."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce scowls, "Trust us, no smell and no sound. Our ears probably aren't as good as yours, but we'd be willing to bet our senses of smell and taste are better by a score of," gestures towards the snakes, "howevermanythereare fold. Nada, zip, zilch.. no freaking trace. If we could get to his world, we'd buy the damn company that makes them and start importing them tomorrow."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Seriously," Angelus said. "So the whole school is pretty much wired?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce shrugs, "No clue. That's what admin has said - those warnings of 'fuck up and we will see it'. We just assume everything is and act appropriately. There's a reason we don't live at the dorms."
