The Right Tools, Tuesday Period Four

"We were going to talk blunt objects today," Kerrigan said to the class, looking distinctly annoyed. For one, all the sharp edges of her wings were covered in bubblewrap, and so was most of her hair.

She was not amused. "However, since the island seems to have this need to intervene with my plans, we're just going to take said blunt objects and divest them of bubblewrap."

She pointed at a series of staffs in the corner. They were all wrapped in the stuff. As were the tables, the board, and at least part of the floor. "Keep working until the bubbles go away," she muttered, "I don't care how you do it. Just get it out of my sight. See it as a practical exam."

[ ~~wait for the~~ ocd up! ]

Protectively.

It's not really much of a lecture.

Get a staff. Pop some bubbles, slice the stuff off, whatever you'd like. She'd enjoy it if someone tackled the tables, too. And the seats. And the...

Once she signs in!

She is not amused.

Because I'm cruel to my characters. Mocking of the bubblewrap situation to Kerrigan's face might lead to punishment, though, so tread carefully!

Lee Adama

Lee managed to hold his laughter...

...mainly because he still had that angry frakking girlfriend who was a bird with him and she would not stop pecking him when she got the chance.

After the class was over, Karal arrived with a deer walking calmly (though there was a distinctly irritated set to her ears) on his left side and a Firecat on his right. "Excuse me, Professor Kerrigan?" he said diffidently.

Lee was still moving a little slowly and gingerly but this wasn't so hard so he grabbed a staff and started to work on the bubblewrap.

Adah left him alone...mostly.

Jeff came into the classroom at the end, carrying a turtle who was looking rather stern about this whole operation. "Professor Lieutenant Kerrigan--" he started.

And stopped.

Utterly frozen.

Well, now that was a voice she hadn't heard in a long time. Kerrigan tilted her head over to look at him--

--and found something different than she'd gotten used to with the boy. "Tell me that's not a student."

"What?" she snapped, glaring at the boy. Oh, god. Another student--?

"I, er, was just-- admiring your hair!" Jeff blurted, shoving the turtle in Kerrigan's general direction. Oh god. She had the hair, and she was green, she had a green arse and green breasts and she was gorgeous and she was going to kill him.

Why was he saying something about her hair? Why would he be saying something about her hair? Come on, Jeffrey! "--but I'm certain the rest of it matches the top."

"I wish that I could," he replied, and sighed. "She is why I'm here. This is Evey, who is temporarily a deer." Evey flicked her ears in irritation and stamped one front hoof. "Which she is not at all pleased about, but that is why she wasn't in class today."

"I can see that," Kerrigan said, and Karal's presence made her make some subconscious effort not to let the sarcasm drip too strongly off her words. "When did this happen?" And when did Karal come back?

Lois Lane

Wait, what? She stared at him. What was he babbling about? "What?"

"I mean you're not so bad, are you? Hair-wise, and..." He was not going to squeak. He was not going to squeak. He was going to say something sane, something sensible, and then he was going to tell her about Turtle and run away really fast. "...otherwise. Very admirable. Turtle thinks so!" He realised he was still holding up the turtle and pulled her back. "...and she's got really good judgement."

"Last week." Karal rested a hand on Evey's head and she sighed, looking slightly less annoyed. "I don't know how long it will last, but there seems to be a rash of it at the moment. If there's an assignment or homework you want Evey to do I can work with her on it."

He smiled a little, chin tilted up, eyes unfocussed, his view of Kerrigan through Altra's eyes a rather strange one. It had taken him a moment to realise just how strange that view had gotten. "We're starting to understand each other quite well."

"As far as excuses for missing class go, 'I turned into a deer' is a pretty sound one," she said, her head snaking from side to side in an attempt to catch Karal's eyes. She knew that look; she'd seen that one before. "And what happened to you?"

Kerrigan was momentarily speechless. Well, except for the ever-present "WHAT?!"

The boy's train of thought was one of the most painful ones she'd ever have to deal with. "...You're worse than a pig!"

"...She's not a pig," Jeff spluttered, "She's a turtle. See?" He held up the turtle again. She waggled her feet-flipper-things in the air in a way that implied she was not at all pleased with this situation, and someone might possibly be losing their shins over this.

Jeff felt that looming sense of death approaching. Just stop talking, Jeffrey. Stop talking and walk away. "Although sometimes it can be easy to confuse them," he continued, stop talking, "It's just pigs are a bit more pink."

He understood what she was asking. "I lost my sight," he replied quietly, smiling when Evey nuzzled his hand. "But I can see through Altra's eyes," The Firecat inclined his head, "so it is not so bad."

"I thought I picked up on something a little off in that regard," Kerrigan replied, her eyes flicking to Altra to take in the Firecat. Big, big cat. "Am I going to get anything out of you if I ask you what happened?" she asked Karal.

He'd been one of the good ones, and in her belly uncoiled a different kind of anger.
