Speech Comm

[The vase with red lilies is still sittng on her desk. Laid out on a table are sodas, coffee, popcorn, chocolate, and chex mix. She is visibly annoyed, but not at anyone in class.]

301--Family

Hey gang.We've been discussing family, and we're going to continue this unit into next week. So I thought I'd give you a break and let you watch a movie. Please take notes. I'd like your thoughts on the dynamic and dysfunctional relationships between the characters. If you can identify it, tell me when communication breaks down.

She sets up the TV and puts in Home for the Holidays.


[ETA: Everyone who was on time got to see Harkness go crazy and try to kill CJ. Everyone who is late...the classroom is empty.]

*comes into class, ignores movie, ignores snacks, and sits down with his back to the TV facing Lindsey*

Why does your hand want to kill me?

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Wha?
*Looks down at his hands, which aren't doing anything out of the ordinary*

I don't think either of my hands wants to kill anybody. Least not that they've told me.



((hee! *hearts you*))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I know they're telling you things about me. I know they want you to kill me. I'm going to kill you first," Jack says in a dead-level voice.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Uh, you're kinda freaking me out a little bit here.

My hands haven't ever said a damn thing to me, far as I know.
So, maybe we can avoid the killing?

*frowns*

My roommate put you up to this?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Boys? Problem?

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Just a little death threat between classmates, ma'am.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

*to CJ*

Don't! No! Stop it! You keep trying to steal me bit by bit, eyeballs first then toes then bones! I've got to stop you before you steal everything!

*advances on CJ threateningly*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Is confused and a bit scared]

Chip!? Sit down. We're watching a movie...

[She backs up a couple steps]

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack stops for a second, tilting his head as though he hears something. "I'm sorry!" he shouts to the air. "I know, I know, I shouldn't have... but I did. I confess. I'll fix it." He stares at CJ and advances on her some more. "I shouldn't have said anything to you. You know too much. I forgot the line... what is it? 'If I tell you, I'd have to kill you'?" Jack smiles charmingly. "Well, I told, so now you have to die."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Jack...what...?

[She knows enough to be very afraid right now]



((CJ used to teach self-defense. If her touches her, she's likely to take him down. OK with you?))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

{OOC: Works for me. I don't *actually* want Jack to hurt anyone; poor boy is going to hate this enough already.}

As CJ backs away, Jack stalks her. They pass her desk and he reaches out for the vase on it, crashing it down so that it leaves a long, sharp glass shard in his hand. "Red lilies, lilies red, red blood dripping down your head..." he sing-songs.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Sharply, but soaked with fear]

Harkness! Put that down. Right now!

{she steps back again, but hasn't been paying attention and is backed up against the board. Oh god he's going to kill me right in front of the class...think Claudia Jean...what's step one?....

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

If I had my sonic blaster, I could disassemble your atoms. Much tidier. But no weapons at this school. So I'll have to use this. *raises the shard like a dagger to bring it down into CJ's chest*

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*had been distracted from the movie by doodling*

*looks up when she hears CJ*

Oh, holy crap. *she stands up suddenly*

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((ooc: Yeah, not really a fan of crazy!chip myself here...but I asked for it, lol))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Put up? Up put? You want to stick the knife up inside me? Fine. You can try. *shoves desk away*

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

No...
*stands up and takes a step back, hands held palm out*

Haven't got a knife, man.
You need to chill before somebody gets hurt.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

It's right there, in your back! Someone stuck it there, but it didn't kill you. You're just to turn it on me. I've got to make sure you die first. Cut off the hands and the head and then I'll be safe.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Jack, you really don't need to cut off my hands. I swear. Or my head. Or anybody else's either.

*continues backing away, slowly*

You're not making any sense.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Liar. You know exactly what I mean. Your teeth give you away, they tell me you know it all.

{OOC: I'm not sure where this fits in with attacking CJ but I'm having too much fun tormenting you. :)]

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what the HELL are you talking about?
You eat in the cafeteria or something? Don't you know better than that?

*Lindsey is definitely getting freaked out and is about to back himself right up against the wall. Oops.*


((ooc: you always love to torment me. *sniff*))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack braces both arms against the wall, caging Lindsey's head. "Hmmm. Don't have a knife. Can't use my hands, hands are evil. How long to you think it will take me to chew through your neck?"

{{I *live* to torment you. Totally different thing.}}

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

*gulps*

Honestly, I'd rather not find out.
We could get you a chewtoy though, if that'll help.


((Hee. True. Do you wanna smack Linds around?))

[Good spot to point you back to...] Boys? Problem?
