Journalism: Thursday, Period 4, Class 12

[trustshisbarber.livejournal.com]

For once, Jonah didn't say a word until the bell rang. And even then he paused and looked at his students for a moment.

"Well?" he finally said. "THERE ARE ZOMBIES INVADING THE ISLAND! WRITE ABOUT IT! I expect a full page article from everyone next week detailing a story of Fandom in the throes of an invasion of the undead! Now, start writing, start preparing questions to ask zombie survivors or maybe the zombies themselves!"

Library [Thursday, April 2nd]

Claudia wasn't sure if last night's radio had been a big April Fool's joke, but after spending more than a week as a peacock she wasn't taking any chances. Today's outfit was made up of parts that would be easy to wriggle out of (like the vest made of men's ties) or beat things up with (like the stiletto boots).

She raced her way to the library, opened it up and sat behind the desk looking up information about zombies.

In movies.

On IMDB. She wasn't great at the whole research thing.

Thaumaturgy 101 - First Period, Thursday 4/2

[brandyforapples.livejournal.com]

Today, each of the desks were prepared with handouts, pens, paper, and colored pencils.

"Don't worry, we haven't been taken over by the art club," she said with a smile once everyone was sitting.

"Today, however, will be a relatively light class concerning the design, use, and meaning behind Hex signs as utilized by the Germanic practitioners of Pennsylvania. Hexenmeisters, as they are called, use many techniques, most having to do with specific scripts and prayers, but among one of their more charming tools are hex signs. Go through the farmlands of Pennslyvania and I doubt that you will fail to see one.

"While this exercise might seem childish or hokey, the lessons learned today will no doubt serve you in the future should you pursue more complex sigil work. They are, after all, merely a more widespread and folklorish extension of some of the more complex and powerful bindrune and runescript design used by Teutonic magicians."

She smiled then and gestured for them to start looking at their handouts to get a feel for the rules of design, the symbology, and the color usage.

"Then I'd like you each to design a hex sign which would be useful to you or at least personally significant."

American History, Period 2 04/02

Algren was more than just a little distracted today as the students filed into the classroom. Tyler seemed to be MIA today, and he didn't know the subject matter from atom.

That, and there were zombies. There were about a million reasons for him to be distracted about the zombies, first and foremost being that he was pretty certain if they'd showed up on Fandom, it was his own fault for not making damn sure that they couldn't.

"Movie day," he announced, backing his way toward the door. "Please, stay here and watch the movie for the entire period, where it's safe."

He hit the right button on the DVD player only by some miracle, and a fantastic documentary of the time period around the Vietnam War started to play. And then he rushed out of the room.

Cooking Club [Home Ec Classroom, Thursday]

Ned looked like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown today. He figured he had a good reason considering there were WALKING DEAD PEOPLE outside and they were EATING PEOPLE. This is how Ned came to be armed with a rolling pin and one beater. He was hardcore, yo.

"Um, look, there are dead things walking around outside like tourists and they're eating people," he said succinctly, eyes darting around. "There's no way we can have a club about eating things today. So, uh, talk to each other and see if you're okay and then you're free to go. Flee. Hide! DON'T LET THEM EAT YOU!"

Ned was kind of over dramatic. He was scared, okay?

Literature, Class 12: Period 3, Thursday, April 2

[clevermsbennet.livejournal.com]

Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked more alert, perhaps, than her usual as she stood in front of the class Thursday morning. Not that Miss Bennet was ever inattentive; far from it. However, today she was taking especial care to count the number of students in her class, frown at the doorway, and pace.

It was perhaps best not to ask where she had found that rather large axe that was lying across her desk.

( Today, you've a very important assignment. Stay alive. )

Library, Friday

There was no Buffy in the library today.

What there was was a sign on the door:

Off killing zombies
Research books on the table if you need them.
(No stealing on my non-watch!!!)


[Buffy's- clearly- not there, but the library can be open for those who might need it.]
