Journalism Class - Thursday October 13

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider is sitting at his desk, watching the cat with morbid fascination as it brings him another frog. There are four of them on the desk already and judging by the noises created as it dives beneath one of the student desks, there will shortly be five. Distracted by the advent of his students, he waves a hand at them.

"As you know, Parent's Weekend is coming up. I've been informed that it's customary to have something to show your parents when they show up so that they're under the continued, mistaken impression that the money they're paying for your enrollment is actually being put to good use. Today I want to hear suggestions as to what sort of project the Journalism students could do in order to impress their collective parents, guardians, parole officers or 'other' when they arrive." Spider smiled maliciously at his students.

Rising to his feet, he went to the back of the classroom and leaned over the velvet rope separating the Newspaper section from the rest of the room and filled a cup with coffee. "Now, along those same lines, later today I'll be posting next week's homework assignment. As previously stated, this will be group projects and will require photographs. I'm thinking of groups of no more than four, unless we end up with an odd number, and I will," his eyes glinted as he looked over the top of his glasses, "fail anyone who does not contribute to the efforts of the group. Start working on your cooperation skills, kids. Your grade may depend on it."

Angela sits down next to Rory. She looks a little glowy.

"I always forget you're in this class," she says. "Want to work together?"

*waves at Angela* Hey. Do you and Rory want to work with me and Jayne? *looks hopeful*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Rory agrees, noticing Angela's glowiness but choosing to not comment yet. "Want to work with Jayne and George?"

"Hey," says Logan, sitting down next to Rory.

[chasingangela]

Angela nods and gives half a wave to Logan. It's a polite greeting, but not an especially warm one.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Rory says shortly, not looking up where she's writing some project details down.

[fh_jackass]

"Whoa!" Logan shivers and wraps his arms around himself. "Did you feel that? Like a blast of cold air. Or is it just me?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"What, were you talking to me?" Rory asks, innocently. "I'm sorry. Hard to tell when you actually remember I'm there."

ooc: Oh snap! indeed. *dead*

[fh_jackass]

Logan sighs. "I'm sorry about leaving the party without you the other night. I just... needed some space. Which, ok, crappy excuse, but you deserve better than being around me when I'm like that."

Rory offers a little half-smile.

"Well...you still could've called."

[fh_jackass]

He nods. "I should've called," he agrees.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods, and the other half of her mouth lifts in a smirk.

"So. You and Alex Krycek, huh?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan shakes his head. "Not in a million years," he says.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory tilts her head, the smirk not leaving her face. "Hmm. How funny, that it's totally okay when you're forced to kiss someone, it's just dandy. Interesting."

[fh_jackass]

Logan looks at her in confusion. "What? It was a dare. To kiss a guy."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Rory says, nodding understandingly. "I see. So, you're saying that since you had no real control over the situation, it doesn't count?"

[fh_jackass]

"No," Logan says. "I was totally in control of the situation. The point is, it's a guy. I'm interested in girls. There is no conflict here. I'm not going to run off and screw Krycek in the coat closet or anything."

OOC Tap on Shoulder

"Okay," Rory says evenly, "so you're saying that since Krycek's someone you're not interested in even remotely, I shouldn't be upset, right?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan meets her eyes. "Yeah, that's what I'm saying."

About a second after Logan's voice died out, Jake walked up to them, smiling sweetly. "Hey, Rory? You know how me and Beka bet on that thing, right? Well, she won and as a punishment, I have to kiss you."

[fh_jackass]

Logan's eyebrows raise as Jake shifts from male to female. "Oh," he says. "Well. That explains the girl that's been hanging around the house." When Jake mentions the bet, Logan's expression darkens for a second.

Jake gives his roommate a disbelieving look. "...Seriously, at some point, we have got to communicate through something other than post-its, no matter how handy that is."

[chasingangela]

"Sounds like a plan," Angela says. She picks up her bag and sits down closer to George and Jayne.
