Student newspaper, election edition

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.

Duce grins. "You could make a fundraiser of a betting pool to see which of you bagged more. All in the name of school spirit, of course."

Scanning the list, she confirms, "Alex Krycek. Yup, that's the boy. Doubt you know Oz. He's one of our roommates, and pretty much a lone wolf. That's not news, though. We've been seen together a lot. You left off Paige and Geoff, Maia and Ms. Sidle, Scooter and Red, and Dr. House and Dr. Wilson."

Beka pursed her lips thoughtfully. "It'd give me an excuse to try to catch up with her. At least count she was ahead by four people." A rueful headshake. "Pursuing angsty teen virgins seriously cuts in to time for the real thing. But a fundraiser involving sex, me, and Faith doesn't sound like a half-bad idea."

Beka added the named parties to her list. "Thanks for the tips. I heard Dean Bristow might've asked Principal Connor to dance. You hear anything like that?"

"Sex and Faith are never a bad idea." Duce smirks, "Or so we've heard." Shaking her head at the question, she offers, "No.. probably happened after we bailed. The DJ bore a disturbing resemblance to Bristow. We had nightmares all night about the clown makeup."

"I've also heard this." Beka studied Duce. "Seriously? I didn't notice that... Guess I really was distracted."

Duce nodded, making a face, "Seriously. The resemblance was creepy. He even smelled like.. Bristow's deodorant." She covers quickly, "Although so do a lot of guys. Wouldn't it be funny if it were a relative, though? Bristow's Bastard Lovechild - news at 10."

"Eek. OK, just in case there is something weird going on there, I'm definitely not mentioning him. You should do a column like that. Outrageous Speculations." Beka smiled then shook her head. "Though, I don't know how it'll get more outrageous than the truth around here."
