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."

Logan's still got a grin on his face.

"Good," Jake grins, before shutting up to kiss her for real, free hand moving up to cup her jaw. This was.. This was not a hardship at all.

[fh_jackass]

A close observer might notice Logan's eyes narrow.

Rory shuts her eyes and leans into the kiss.

This is...weird. But also not weird. Because it's a girl. But also not a girl.

She enthusiastically kisses Jake back. There may be some tongue. Who knows.

Getting a little closer to where Logan's sitting, he leans against a table, arms crossed as he watches as well. Krycek snorts softly, as Jake (and Rory) seems pretty damn into doing the deed.

Jake knows that there is, and when she pulls back a little, their captive audience can tell there is too. Jake moves her hand up to brush agains her chin. Soft. Rory was soft and sweet and girly, and nothing at all like the firmhardwarm he connected with Alexeij.

Her eyes glittered as she stared into Rory's, trying to judge how far they should go. The point should be well and truly made, after all.

Rory arches a brow and grins, nodding every so slightly towards the spectators, as if to say, "May as well give 'em their money's worth."

She winks imperceptively, and leans down, kissing Jake soundly once more.

Logan draws in a sharp breath. His grin fades a little.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek glances at Logan, then at Rory and Jake. He look curious still, but it's a little agonizing in its own way.

She was probably having a little too much fun, Jake admitted to herself, but what the hell, it wasn't like she was going to get another chance. Conscience thus pacified, she returned Rory's kisses with interest, nipping at her lower lip.

[fh_jackass]

"Her bra fastens in the front," Logan offers, in a deceptively bored drawl. The grin is back on his face.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blushes. Oddly enough, making out with a girl-who's-not-a-girl didn't embarrass her nearly as much as Logan talking about her bra.

She ignores it, though, and readjusts her arms around Jake's waist.

Exhaling sharply in surprise as their breasts come in contact, Jake curls her arm around Rory's neck. She's flushing now, and is not really paying attention to her surroundings any more.

[fh_jackass]

Logan gets up casually, wraps his fingers in the hood of Jake's hoodie, and yanks her off of Rory. "I think you've made your point," he says to both of them, genially. "That switching thing is interesting," he adds to Jake. "Can you switch back and forth, just like that?" He snaps his fingers.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory frowns, blinking innocently. "What point? I was just helping my good friend Jake out with a bet."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Um, what?" Jake says, blinking a little to get her eyes back in focus. She shook her head, clearing it. Harder to turn on.. Pff. Maybe Chloe was... Logan's question finally sank in, and she nodded distractedly, already changing back, not really taking into account that turned on as a girl also meant turned on as a guy.

[fh_jackass]

"Thanks," Logan says, punching Jake in the face. "My daddy taught me never to hit a girl." He quirks his head to the side. "Which is ironic, really, considering."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Whatthefuck?!" Jake exclaimed, staggering backwards, brain not really back online yet.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Logan!" Rory gasps, grabbing his arm frantically. "Jake, are you okay?" she adds, glancing at him with concern. She turns back to Logan, angrily. "What the hell was that for?"

It takes approximately two minutes to reach the Journalism Classroom from Spider's apartment. Spider managed it in ninety seconds. Never underestimate the speed of a man who spends most of his life running to or from acts of violence.

"Hold it right there," he snarled, sliding to a halt in front of the altercation.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake stares as the professor suddenly appears. "...What the fuck?" he repeats, with feeling.

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider pointed a finger at Logan. "You. Detention. Non-negotiable. Argue and we'll make it two." He swiveled to point at Jake and Rory. "You two. An explanation." He narrowed his eyes, "And it had better be good."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory flushes. "I'm sorry, sir. It was a...joke, and we took it too far. It's my fault. Jake and I were supposed to...um...kiss, and I should have called it off. I'm so sorry," she adds to Jake, wincing.

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

"So Logan deciding to take a swing at Gavin is your fault. How decidedly noble and heroic of you. You're not in love, are you?" Spider turned to glare at Jake. "And what part did you play in this little soap opera, Intern?"

Beka notes the commotion, having tuned out as soon as she issued the required challenge. This, she's sure, is not going to turn out well. She sighs, and scratches Saturday off her social calendar.
