Surviving Deep Space - Thursday, Period Two - 8/20

[uptheziggurat.livejournal.com]

As they walked into the class, Rimmer actually looked rather... rather emotional.

"This is, as you should all know, my very last class with you. I am sure that you will all miss me, that you will lament those moments when you doubted me, or drew on me with a permanent marker, or laughed behind my back and thought I couldn't see because yes, I did see that and you know who you are."

He breathed in after that.

"But today, we face the worst enemy you will ever possibly come up against, the most repugnant, the most terrible:"

He leaped over to one side of the room and revealed video monitors, each one with a face that should look familiar: it was his students. Well, it was a version of his students. Each of them in the monitor had some sort of terrible new feature, most of them were either overweight or their clothing was hideous, and at least one was sporting a rather pointless toupee.

"Yourselves! In the future!"

"You'd think of saying no?" Ben's pout was very, very pouty. "That's mean."

"I'd think of it," Tahiri allowed, "but actually saying it is a different story. Did you really think I would?"

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[momslilassassin]

Not even for an instant.

"Yes," he said, grinning.

She liked to think she knew him well enough to know the real answer.

"Uh huh," Tahiri retorted. "My question was the answer, gundark."

[momslilassassin]

Ben, maturely, stuck his tongue out at her. "I knew that."

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri, because she was so much more mature than he was, stuck her tongue out right back at him. "That's why you were pouting, right?"

Giving Ben a good time -- in an affectionate way -- was becoming quite the favorite pastime.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[momslilassassin]

"Yes," Ben said. "I wanted to see if you would feel guilty."

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

"And you called me mean," Tahiri said. Fair was fair, so she turned the pout right back on him.

It was more that he'd been desperate to turn the conversation away from older, kinda slutty looking Tahiri.

I'd kiss you but...class, he sent toward her.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri was not a fan of a fate as the GFFA's diminutive evil slutbomb wtf that look herself, and was perfectly fine ignoring it.

That just means you have to pay up after class, she sent back.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[momslilassassin]

He grinned. Name the place, Veila.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri flashed him a smirk. Our usual beach spot, Skywalker?

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[momslilassassin]

It's a different date, he said. I'll bring the blanket.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

Should I bring ice cream anyway? Tahiri's mental voice sounded as amused as the expression on her face looked. She was pretty sure she knew what the answer would be.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[momslilassassin]

Ben snorted. Of course.

Re: Listen / STARE at what he's done to 'you'

[weetuskenraider]

She laughed softly, not remotely surprised. I knew it. You're on.
