Student newspaper, election edition

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

The day after homecoming (*cough* and any post-Homecoming or during Homecoming things that are still being slow played *cough*) found Angelus in the journalism classroom. He'd taken over a few desks and chairs, moving them so that he could sit in one chair with a mug of warm blood on a desk beside him, his feet raised and propped up on a desk in front of him, and a laptop cradled in his lap.

He typed away at his article.

Anyone watching him would notice two things:

1) He was still disturbingly cheerful, albeit focused on his work

2) He was dressed in black jeans, a black long-sleeved, form-fitting T-shirt, black shoes, and a pair of black-rimmed eyeglasses.

It was possible for people to interrupt him if they cared to.

(OOC: Beka did join the newspaper staff to do a sex column, and she might well come in to work on something about the people seen in dark corners. Welcome interruption or unwelcome?)

[ooc: I'm/he's up for whatever. I've got a lazy day today and figured this would be a nice way to put him somewhere for anybody who wanted to interact with him]

Though the dress hadn't been near so bad -- definitely not bad, no, and the results? wow -- as she'd imagined, it felt good to be back in Beka clothes. Skin-tight black sleeveless tank, jeans, silver buckled-belt, boots, and black-ribbon choker with silver pendant. Much more practical for things like working on campaign strategy...or newspaper articles about relationships...like she was such an expert?

"I need to work on saying 'no'," Beka groused goodnaturedly, as she entered the Journalism classroom.

"Okay," Angelus said, obligingly. "Get me a cup of coffee."

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Who? Oh. Angelus. "No." She didn't quite smirk on her way to grab a cup for herself. "That was easy enough. Try something harder than hostessing next time."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You said you needed to work on it," Angelus said, typing away. "Figured I'd start you out with something easy."

Duce strolls to the classroom and leans against the doorjam. Her face scans across as though looking for someone, teeth flashing in a positively predatory smile when she doesn't find them. Pulling a small notebook and pen from the pocket of her leather jacket, she checks something off as her smile grows.

Contrary to the icon, she's back in darkling ensemble again - black jeans and t-shirt, leather jacket and boots. Scanning the room again, she does a double-take at Angelus' outfit. "Angelus, bebeh, you look so naaahz. You should do casual wear more often." She comments casually, "Anyone seen Jake this morning?"

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka looked up and smiled pleasantly. "Not yet, no."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Her grin widens, "Eeeehhhhhhhxxxccellent." Tucking her notebook back into her pocket, she explains, "We helped Jake pick out his dress. He was reportedly seen leaving the dance with Alex.. and nobody's seen either of them yet this morning."

Clasping her hands piously in front of her chest, she voices guilelessly, "We do hope they had.. fun last night."

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

At that, laughed. "I'll add that to my list. Did you have fun last night?," she asks, absolutely innocently, while typing:

Jake, and...Alex (Krycek?)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Duce," Angelus spared her a quick smile. "Jake's the girl, right?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce answers after her comment, "Yeah.. he's a girl.. right now. Normally? Boy."

Her grin fades to a smirk, "And oh, the fun we are having with that." (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/193981.html?thread=8924093#t8924093)

Chloe's fallen into the habit of peeking into the Journalism classroom whenever she walks by, to see if anyone is in there. She's surprised to see people today, expecting everyone to have stayed in post-Homecoming. "Well, hello everyone. It's good to see you guys," she says cheerily.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Gotta do that election issue," Angelus said, typing away. "Wouldn't want to let the student body down." He glanced up at her. There was a brief frown as he clearly attempted to put a name with a face. "Chloe, right? You were doing the post-debate interviews?"

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka looked up from her notes and saw the pretty blonde she'd met only yesterday. "Hey Chloe. Working on that relationship gossip column. Didn't want to forget anything."

Rory is on her way past the Journalism classroom, and stops when she notices people in there working.

"What're you all doing? It's...Saturday. And early," she says incredulously, stepping in and staring around blearily.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Election issue," Angelus gave her a grin, "'boss'."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory arches a brow and smiles. "Good. Glad to hear it," she says, nodding slightly. She recalls what had happened (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/189930.html?thread=8851178#t8851178) with Angela and Marty the night before, but decides not to address it for the moment.

Logan's right behind Rory. He's still in his suit from last night, but the jacket's hanging over his arm, his tie is loosened and his sleeves are rolled up. Also, he's pretty rumpled, like his clothes spent a lot of time on the floor last night. Or this morning.

He leans against the door frame. "Well, aren't you the dedicated student?" he says to Angelus.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Aren't I always?" Angelus gave him a welcoming grin. He indicated the outfit. "Walk of shame or haven't even gotten to bed yet?"

[fh_jackass]

"There was bed," Logan says. "There was even some sleeping," he grins. "And dude - the tequila? I take it back. You are in no way a tease."

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

"3500 years in the future. What do you think?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It's managed to survive for two thousand plus so far," Angelus said. "Stranger things have happened."

Taking her coffee back to the desk, she catches his eye. "No."
