Mad Kings & Queens, Week XIII [Monday, Period 4]

[atreideslioness]

As the students came in today, they'd probably all be pleased to notice the lack of desks, the huge pile of pillows and blankets, and the television at the front of the room.

"Right," Ghanima said once they were all comfortable. "If you didn't learn anything this week about overthrowing a mad ruler and dealing with unconquerable odds - and make no mistake, that's what our friend out there was - then you need to retake this class and stay awake next time."

Voodoo hexes. Really

"Today we're supposed to cover Idi Amin Dada," she said, pointing to the stack of handouts by the door. "Take one when you leave. For now, we're going to watch a movie. It's called the meta for The Last King of Scotland, and it happens to be on the person we're supposed to be studying today."

"If you have no attention span and have somewhere important to be, like the clinic or a hot shower, then just take the handout and go. I'll see you next week."

[Wait for the OCD is up!]

Watch the Movie

There's pitchers of juice and a big bowl of fruit on a table, since she's pretty sure none of you have eaten properly in the last few days. Grab some food, curl up and take your mind off the zombies.

Savannah got some juice but her stomach wasn't unknotted enough for food yet.

Eve snagged a couple oranges and a glass of juice and settled down next to her daughter.

"Want a slice?" she asked, peeling the first orange and beginning to break it into pieces.

Savannah shook her head.

She didn't want to draw Ms. Ghanima's wrath by talking, but she knew that if she ate anything she would be sick.

Eve murmured the telepathy spell, the one that only really worked if the other person was close by and expecting it.

It's going to be okay now, Savannah. I promise.

Savannah had been expecting it and nodded. She murmured the spell -- even though she was really too drained to be doing it. Johnny would kick her ass if he knew.

I believe you, but Sean was dead. They were killing students and teachers. I was scared.

Any idea how he's doing? Eve asked. Doesn't seem like something anybody would take very well.

Ben held the juice between his fingers but didn't drink. The guy in the movie looked a lot like Gavin...

Liir watched. And looked down at the handout every few minutes, straining his eyes a little to compare and consider.

The movie got put on 'ignore it, it's background noise' and Ino spent more time reading the handout, and nibbling on fruit.
