Newspaper Staff Meeting, 4 pm, Journalism Room

[the_merriest]

Today's pastries and coffee were accompanied by a big bowl of Halloween candy. There were also some orange-and-black sugar cookies.

Rikku was totally in the Halloween spirit.

Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

This is the thread where you get your assignment or volunteer for something.

Hence the convenient name.

"I'm doing another business interview next week!" Turtle announced happily. "This week's'll by Coyote Medicine!"

"Ooooh, that place looks nifty," Rikku nodded. "Sounds awesome. I need to go checking out all these new businesses, dang it."

"I swear," Cal said through a mouthful of candy corn, "if nothing happens on Halloween for me to write about, I give up. Fandom will have officially gone way too normal."

"It's lulling us into a false sense of security," she offered. "Or else giving us a few days off since we had to deal with our parents and all."

"I'm going to try and not fail wtf going to either get the article about my arms done or start a war about which common room is best," Lee decided.

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

"Either works," Rikku grinned. "Or even pictures of your arms for a display of ... arms-ness."

Shameless, really.

Warren was even more cranky than usual today.

"I'll write about people who think they can get away with singling out anyone different just because they're in a position of power. Easy rant this week."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

Rikku was giving him a careful glance. Then she nodded.

"Very easy rant," she said. "Happens a lot. Someone's in power, they want to keep power, they create scapegoats. This group, those people. Anything to keep people from noticing what they're doing."

She bit her lip and lowered her voice. "Is someone ... giving you crap?"

Because she had bombs, and all.

"Nothing I can't deal with." Warren's lips twitched into something of a wry smirk. "I have to write an apology letter to a bigot," he stated. "It's gonna be great."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

"'I'm sorry you're a small-minded jerk'?" Rikku asked. "That sucks. This place isn't usually like that, I swear. Nobody's said anything to me. If someone's treating you like crap for being you ... I'm totally willing to help you beat them up."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[peace_n_war]

Warren shook his head.

"I'm good and capable of beating people up on my own, thanks," he said, shifting his weight uncomfortably. "Anyhow, it wasn't me that was singled out. I just did something stupid. I'll take my punishment- I deserved it. But I'm not sorry for what I did. Not for a single damn minute."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

"I wasn't dissing your ass-kicking abilities," she said cheerfully. "Just offering back-up if you need it. And standing up to bullies is always the right answer. Good job."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[peace_n_war]

"I wouldn't call him a bully. Just a jerk." Warren shrugged. "Besides, they don't take well to beating on the faculty. The semester will end soon enough anyhow."

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

"They probably wouldn't," she said, shaking her head. "Hang in there, it'll be over soon."

Talk to the Advisor

[the_merriest]

For all your Advisor-y needs.

Ghanima was there not late omg, looking intrigued at the idea of her first Halloween in Fandom.

If no one she knew got cursed, she was going to be very put-out.

OOC

[the_merriest]

The world is not allowed to end before I get candy.

Re: OOC

[atreideslioness]

I HAVE EIGHT BAGS OF CANDY.

In my defense, they were on-sale tonight at the store. My sugar addiction demanded it. *shares*

Re: OOC

[the_merriest]

:O SCOOOOOOOOOOOORE.

I have three or four. For trick-or-treaters.

It would be wrong to nom the candy and hope that we don't get any.

Re: OOC

[raspberryturk]

I'm totally waiting until after Halloween in order to take advantage of post-Halloween candy sales. :D BEST EVER.
