Slacking - Friday, 6/5 - First Period

As the students might notice, Max was missing this morning from the class room. As was, thankfully, his alligator footrest. Instead, Fiona stood at the head of the class, notes in her hand as she watched the others enter the room.

"Max couldn't be here today, as you might have guessed from his absence," she said once they were all in. She walked over to the door of the room and closed the door.

"He did, however, leave me in charge of an activity he designed. Specifically, we'll be learning distraction. Since there are generally fewer supervisors than those being supervised, a useful tactic involves having some people distract the supervisor from trying to ensure that their stupid orders are followed, while others get real work done."

She looked out through the class and lifted her head.

"He gave me pre-arranged groups, so don't worry about finding friends to work with. Please enter the groups of three, dividing into two workers and one manager. Your task? Solve these" which she placed on the teacher's desk in neat rows "while the manager will try and bother you about unimportant things. Your objective is to solve the puzzle before the class is over."

[ocd up!]

Claire was still antsy after last night on the roof with Jon.

Edward was just trying to remain focused.

Okay, this couldn't be that bad, right?

"How exactly do we decide who's management, and who's grunts?" was what Valentine wanted to know, although, really, in a situation like this, one usually rises up to that position.

Or tortures squirrels then manipulates his sister into helping him get to that position, but you get the idea.

Effy hadn't got all that much sleep last night, like most people on this island right now, and somehow, she was already feeling like she needed more of that 'not sleep' they'd had.

She was busy checking people out while she waited for her group.

"This professor really gets off on puzzles," Hannibal said as he joined his group. "Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles."

"They're too much work for a slacking class," Emmett decided.

Effy picked one of them up, and fiddled idly.

"Probably won't even know if we do fuck all," she pointed out.

"What's the use of a manager to bother you about things if the manager himself doesn't care?" Hannibal agreed. "I have a natural aversion to puzzles."

"I vote for sitting here and doing nothing," Emmett said. "Or, in my case, sit here and make ninja stars out of notebook paper."

Because that was fun. And you got to throw them at people.

Effy eyed him. Weirdo with the origami was still hot, at least.

"I can think of things I'd rather be doing." And none of them were clean today.

"And they don't include being here," Hannibal guessed because hey, it was true for him too. Why'd he come to class again? Stupid.

Helen was still feeling... unsatisfied... despite her very pleasant encounter with... whoever that was, yesterday. And as such was perhaps a bit less dressed than usual.

"Hello," Edward said, sitting down with his assigned group.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hello," Helen said, blatantly checking him out. Oh, yes, he was quite nice.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He wondered at that look from her. For some reason it made him blush.

Blush!

"Hello," he repeated. "What a lovely day!"

Rather warm, but he was coping.

"Mmmmm..." she all but purred at him, licking her lips a little. "Lovely morning indeed."

Re: Clas #3

Blink.

Ohhhh!

What was -- licking lips!?

He cleared his throat.

"Are you, uh, thirsty?"

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"More... hungry," she admitted.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Gulp.

"I could, that is, I don't mind... I could run get you something to eat?" he offered, cheeks blazing.

What was going on here?!

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"I could go with you and show you just what I really want," Helen offered.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"That would be fine, yes."

Poor gullible Edward.

"I would like you to get what you want."

"Good," Helen said with a smile and tugged him out of his seat, intending to slip away to a quiet little supply closet down the hall and, well... at least get a bit of kissing and touching going.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

He chuckled. Nervously.

"You must be ravenous!"

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"You could say that," she said with a smile, tugging him along and backing him into the supply closet and shutting the door behind them.

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. Um. Um.

FLAIL!!!

"There is no food in here!"

He held his arm out, fingers splayed, preventing her from coming close.

"I am beginning to think your intentions are not to satisfy your hunger and... and I will have no part of this! I have a true love!"

Sweet Andalasia!

"Oh, but this is a hunger, too," Helen said, even as she gave him space - much though she would have preferred not to. "And what harm would a few kisses do?"

Re: Clas #3

[identity profile] defeats-buses.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Forgive me," he replied as he started edging towards the door. "But that form of hunger will only be satisfied by my girlfriend. You're pretty, kind... a bit forward... very much harmful to me!"

He grasped the knob and turned.

"I WILL NOT KISS YOU!" And out the door he went, fleeing for the classrooms exit.

He would not be back.

Helen sighed the Mun giggled wildly, and went back to the class hoping for better luck with someone else.
