Journalism Class - Thursday October 6

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider looks like he hasn't slept in a week, and has obviously been chain-smoking with his cat. If he had hair, he'd be in the middle of a bad hair day. Even his tattoos look like they hurt. He has a giant vat of coffee on the edge of his paper-strewn desk, there are take-out boxes everywhere, and he's muttering pretty much constantly under his breath.

The back of the room has fresh coffee with all the fixings, gourmet snacks and tidbits and the screens are running playback feed from last night's debate.

Again, on the screen behind him, there's a message:

Today - Villians. Discuss. Yadda Yadda. Tomorrow we'll be doing a class project tying all three themes together. Double credit.




((OOC: The player is aware that there have been four themes. Spider is just very tired.))

"What if the two people aren't 'in love'? What if they're merely falling in love? Or what if they're in love but they hurt each other all the time?" Beka smiles to show she's not being antagonistic. "When does it become martyrdom to put aside your own desires for someone else?"

Then she sighs. "And what about those who put aside their own wants, and loves, for others." She's definitely not thinking about having put off Jack O'Neill to be free to pursue the political end of reducing hostility and tension.

George is weary of the conversation, and it shows. "Even if they're not technically 'in love,' shouldn't they be allowed a chance to figure that out for themselves? That sort of thing takes time. It's not like I'll just wake up one morning and decide, 'Wow! I'm in love with Jayne Cobb!'"

She shuts her mouth abruptly, her eyes wide. Did I just say that out loud?

Phoebe's eyes widen when she hears that and she looks back down at her notebook. Her whole demeanor seems to change.

"Isn't the topic supposed to be villians and not love?" she asks softly.

George blushes furiously, staring at her own "notes."

Beka grins. "Hey, I'm going to homecoming with John Sheppard. The irony in that is so rich, I'm almost not even hearing mention of Jayne Cobb." She winks. "Listen, I think the thing is, in love, and in other relationships, the only person who knows how you feel is you. And sometimes it gets messy while people try to figure things out.

"No one's a villain for trying to work out their feelings. Villainy comes in when knowing that someone loves someone else, you actively work to disrupt their relationship."
