Dru's Classroom: the formation of a new club

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.

"I feel like we need questions with zip," Angelus said. "Figure the teacher's going to ask all the boring stuff. Plus we've no guarantee that the questions we submit will even get asked. Let's not blow the wad on something that they can turn into a long and boring ramble about their mother."

"I so don't care about their mothers. Agreed." Anakin leaned back. "I figure the teacher's gonna ask about why they want the job and what makes them think they're so special." He looked at Angelus. "Do you think she'll have the ~~balls~~ ~~stones~~ ~~*something in Huttese*~~ killer instinct to ask them about the obvious divides in the student body at this point? In a way that won't lead them to wander around talking about diversity and blah freakin' blah?"

"I'd love to ask that one in a way that doesn't allow for backpeddling," Angelus said. "It's all well and good for some of them to disclaim that attack ad on Bel - and I'm sure Rory at least means it - but that doesn't negate that the ad was done in the first place."

"Exactly." Anakin tapped his pen on the pad of paper. "And in a way that doesn't lead into 'smear campaign are part of politics' or 'anonymous: can't prove anything.' How about something like, 'The recent smear campaign against VP candidate Belthazor brings some unpleasant truths life at Fandom High into stark relief. How would you, giving concrete examples, go about improving the quality of life for all students?' Gives them a way to talk about concrete changes for the magical population while also providing anyone who wants to take it a rope to hang themselves with if they'd rather rant about the dangerous, dangerous students that go here."

"That's a good start," Angelus said. "And if they weasel we can use tomorrow night to do followups. What about the weapons ban? Should we try to get them with anything there?"

"The weapons ban might be something we could save for the off-campus debate, unless the tone of tonight's debate starts to be useful, rather than longwinded and rambling." Anakin looked over and Angelus. "And I think Professor Jerusalem's more likely to sprout wings and fly than give anyone a weapon back on this campus with the tensions the way they are right now."

"True," Angelus said. "I'd like to have more control over any discussion in that area. I have to admit part of me is tempted to just watch the debate unfold and then plan strategy from there."

"I'm sure we can pass notes during the debate, see how things unfold. Plot a strategy for the next night's debate based off what we don't hear about tonight."

"What time's that starting anyway?"

"I think I remember the Pirate saying around 6 Fandom Standard, so...soonish?"

"You're friends with the pirate?" Angelus asked. "Think you can get a blurb onto the radio about tomorrow night?"

"We're not close or anything, but I've talked with him. I can probably get him to put something on the program tonight. You have any language ready or do you want me to wing it?"

"I trust you to wing it," Angelus said. "Unless the debate inspires something tonight. But Faithy's got tonight's broadcast, right? I can grab her ear if there's a last minute tweak."

"Yeah, I think you're right about Faith being on-air tonight. I'll put something together and send it over to him ~~by snagging most of the phrasing from your poster because yay not having to do more work~~."

"Perfect, thanks." ~~Pretends that more than five seconds worth of work went into that poster~~
