fandomhigh | Slacking - Last Meeting [Friday, Period 1]

It had been inevitable, really. Week after week of feigning sleep as the students arrived had, given that this was Max, virtually guaranteed that one day he'd actually be asleep. His head didn't loll back, and he didn't snore. In fact, he looked pretty much exactly like he did at the beginning of every class. Except that he didn't have his sunglasses on (they were lying on his desk next to a pack of multi-colored sharpie markers) and his eyes were firmly closed. When the last student arrived he sat up abruptly ~~assuming no one rudely awakens him first~~ and looked around in confusion for a moment. Then he figured out where he was and cleared his throat.

"Today your assignment is simple. Each pair of you has picked a task. Today you'll detail that task and how you plan to accomplish it, at least in broad strokes. But most importantly you'll explain what precautions you've taken to avoid officious interference. What measures are you employing to avoid having to ask anyone permission, which tends to take forever to get, or for avoiding other people taking over and wrecking your project?"

He looked over the students. "I'll call each pair up here and you'll explain things. Then, if you want, you're free to question the pair on details of their plans and suggest situations which might cause problems." He was going to call everyone, whether they were there or not, and if people weren't present or dawdled he was going to scowl. Very menacingly. Except without any menace.

Like you're telling Max just how much you respect him

Max is pretty deeply asleep, and WHERE DID THOSE SHARPIES COME FROM? Unless someone makes a deliberate effort to wake him up, he'll sleep through just about anything. Feel free to do what comes naturally in such a situation.

Chances are he won't notice even after he does wake up. It's not like he can see his own face.

It's short and sweet, but there's enough time to catch a power nap if you want. Just be aware that Max has sharpies.

You probably already knew that, though.

In the appropriate sub-thread! And don't forget you're free to grill each other. And if you don't, Max will.

This is a great opportunity to tell him how much you loved his class! Or... whatever else you need to get off your chest.

It's been a fun seven weeks. Thanks to you guys for pitching in as much as you have.

And I want you to know that I'll consider you all failures as human beings if Max doesn't walk out with a ridiculous caricatured mustache AT THE VERY LEAST.

Helen Haras-Uquara

Helen was not at all certain about this, but she was here.

Hannibal King

Hannibal was torn. On one hand, easy pickings. On the other, Max was huge and Hannibal kind of liked him.

In the end, Hannibal went small. He drew two hearts on Max's cheek.

Hannibal didn't have any notes for his project but he figured he and Claire had talked it over enough that it'd be easy to wing it.

Claire ~~Bennet~~ Butler

Claire was totally giggling as she watched her class partner work.

They totally had this in the bag.

"Maybe it'll get him a date or something," Hannibal said, looking over his shoulder at Claire. "Show off his sensitive side."

"You want me to get us going?" Hannibal asked. "I'm a pretty good talker."

"Sure, that sounds good," Claire said. "And I can field any questions we get from our classmates?"

"I... don't want to think about my teacher's dating life," she decided.

"Hopefully we sew it up so there are none," Hannibal said even if he knew that questions could be found in the most unlikely of places. "Okay, so we're planning a train trip to New York. And we'd talked about doing it during the upcoming July 4th holiday which gives us an easy excuse of going to visit family up there. Unless someone's going to actually ask for the phone numbers of our family, they really can't prove that we're just going up there to have fun."

Hannibal just hoped that he never had a supervisor that went as far as asking for phone numbers because ew.

"And we decided to take a train because it's one of those modes of transportation that people forget still exists. We can make a lot of connections in various cities if we need to and still enjoy a nice few days of sightseeing on the way. I mean, you hear a lot about people getting stopped at the airport but hardly ever on trains, right?"

He looked at his partner and asked, "Anything I'm forgetting?"

"What, no double dates then?" he asked, snickering.

"I actually do have relatives in New York, so we're covered on that front," Claire said. "Also, we're planning to keep the trip small. Just the two of us and two guests. Less people involved in the planning and execution of our trip means less chance of someone coming up with a good reason to stop us."
