Shop Class still accepting Students.

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

MacGyver pushes a large pallet of crates through the hallway to the Shop classroom.

The crates are marked with a return address of:

S.Summers
Charles Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters
1407 Graymalkin Lane
Salem Center, NY 12865

On top of the crates is a receipt from PayPal from a recent E-bay purchase. The receipt notes something about "Shi'ar Technology".

Mac checks to make sure the Sign-up Sheet is still posted and goes to work unpacking the crates and starting to install the equipment.

Anybody walking by might hear Mac cursing over the fact that the Owner's manual does not have an English translation.

Angelus looked at the tape, looked at Mac, looked at the chaos, looked at Mac again. "And structs would be...?"

Sam eyes the vampire warily, but decides that since he's not actively eating people, she's not going to worry about it. She points, "Those things, over there."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Gotcha," Angelus carefully steps over the parts on the floor so that he can get a better position to apply the tape. "Nice seeing you, Sam. Funny how we live right across the hall and it's like we never bump into each other, huh?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's a little weird, actually. I spend a lot of time on the second floor, though, so maybe it's not that strange. Plus, I was really busy last week."

Since her hands are free, she crouches down to hold the two pieces in place so he can apply the tape.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What was up last week?" Angelus asked. He applied the tape with a touch that was rather deft for someone who, seconds earlier, had been acting as though he'd never seen duct tape before.

"Oh, you know--classes, meeting my date, Pre-Homecoming stuff, getting the parasitic alien who was seducing all the men on campus and making them her butt-monkeys out of my best friend," she said, shrugging, "the usual. I'm sorry about the election results--you put a lot of hard work into the campaign and really helped raise the level of discourse and if Parker ever finds out about this conversation, I may be eviscerated. I'll have her save you the entrails."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Awh heck," Angelus shrugged. "I just wanted the best student to win. I wasn't officially on anybody's campaign. I rooted for my friends, of course, but I couldn't be happier about the results." Angelus's smile was wide and full of promise. "Honest."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam smiled back, somewhat relieved. "No, I understand. Actually, I'm happiest that I managed to stay out of the entire electoral process--I'm not at all good at politics."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Me neither," Angelus gave a sheepish look. "I don't mind telling you I had no idea what was going on half the time. Good thing we've got students like Phoebe who don't mind rolling up their sleeves and taking that kind of thing on."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam raised a skeptical eyebrow. That wasn't what she'd heard from Parker. According to her, this was the guy with his finger on the pulse of the school (no pun intended). "Yeah, I really think Phoebe's going to be great for the school. Very approachable and committed to getting things done."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I've noticed that about her," Angelus said. "I was really impressed with how she handled the aftermath of that horrible attack ad. Speaking as one of the non-human students, it really meant a lot."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I don't know her as well as I'd like, unfortunately, but my friend Liz has lots of good things to say about her. Actually, and I'm embarrassed to admit this, I never even saw the attack ad, so I can't weigh in on all the controversy. It makes me feel a little bit out of the loop."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Probably for the best," Angelus assured her. "It tried to paint my friend Bel as being evil just because he's part demon. How is that a positive message in this school?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Are there non-evil type demons? I don't know anything about this area of the school's weirdness, so it's an honest question."

She sighed, "But, if there are non-evil demons, it's not fair to paint your friend as one just because he happens to be a demon. That would be like saying all clones are evil."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Of course there are," Angelus put his hand against his chest. "Heck, take me for instance. It's just like humans: some are jerks and some are nice. It's not being human that makes you good, it's what you do."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Huh. That...actually makes a lot of sense."



[OOC: And the Oscar for best actor in a leading role goes to...]

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm not saying I don't understand the prejudice," Angelus said. "But hopefully here at Fandom High we can get past that. After all, we're here to learn, right?"

[ooc: Your roommate is probably going to hit you over the head when she hears about this. Possibly with a frying pan. ;) ]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Is that what we're here to do?" She asked, grinning.

"Sometimes, will all the chaos going on around here, I forget."


[ooc: That would imply we ever saw each other IC...stupid time zones. How much would you pay me if I had Sam play absolutely moronic and invite you in? Between John Connor, Parker, and Buffy, Sam's pretty evil-adjacent. How'd that happen?]

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well there's also dating and the occasional fighting of zombies," Angelus pointed out with a grin. "I'm not saying we don't have hobbies."

[ooc: Ha! It'd be funny, for sure. Up to you.]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam grinned back. He was actually quite charming. "Thanks for helping out with this. It's really nice of you."

ooc: I would (purely in the interest of giving A something else to do, but I'd have to discuss that with her first, since it would (presumably) be such a big plot point for her. Will keep you posted.

"You can thank Kitty," Angelus nodded his head in the direction of the other girl. "She made such an impression on me during Thursday night's debates that I had to stop by and say hi."

[ooc: Good point.]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam was once again smiling sheepishly. "I missed the debates, too. Didn't stop me from voting, though. I'm a bad, bad democrat."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I think it turned out well," Angelus said. "I'm sure the ones who lost feel bad, but I think the school's getting just the Student Council it needs."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I think it turned out well, also. I'm really happy for Liz. She was really excited this morning. It was cute."

"So, what are you going to do with all of your free time now that your friends are done campaigning?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Congratulate her for me," Angelus said. "She had my vote. And you'll laugh but I was thinking of starting up a new club."
