Study Hall - Monday, October 17th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah sits on the floor of the study hall, playing with a bunch of black lab puppies.

No, really.

And no, she's not teaching them how to kill. Although she is making them sniff a toaster and then sniff everybody who comes into the room.

Today is obviously not a low-paranoia day for her.

Comments

Rory sits down near Marty and Angela, and eyes the index cards.

"Something wrong, Blank?" she asks innocently.

[chasingangela]

"He ate in the cafeteria. Now he's singing."

She twists a piece of hair. "I don't know WHY he still eats there."

Pulls out sign and points to it.

"They had Ham and Cheese sandwiches! Couldn't resist."

[chasingangela]

Angela grabs a sharpie from her bag and underlines the word "resist."

"I'm sorry -- I mean, I am really happy that you're back. Which you know. Just ... this wasn't how I expected to be serenaded."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty writes under it.

"Sorry. How do you want to be serenaded?"

[chasingangela]

Angela gives him a mischevous smile.

"I would say Peter Gabriel and a boom box, but Gordon kind of stole that. Um ... not-Abba would be good."

Marty smirks at Angela and you can probably tell by the gleam in his eyes that he's scheming something.

[chasingangela]

"I'm not sure I should trust that look in your eye," Angela says, though it's clear she's curious what he'll come up with.

Marty places his hand over his heart and puts an innocent expression on his face.

He holds up a card that says "Who? Me?"

"Considering he has a pet that came from there, I don't know either," Rory replies wryly.

[chasingangela]

"He brought a cat back from Chicago, too," Angela says in the same tone. "Camilla was really happy about that."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"A cat and a chicken? Wow. I bet Camilla and the kitty are best buds now, huh? Because cats and birds are always like this," she adds, holding up crossed fingers.

[chasingangela]

"Camilla stormed out of the room, and I get to take on the cat." Angela tucks her hair behind her ear. "I mean, it's cute, though."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Camilla stormed out," Rory asks in disbelief. "Chickens can do that? And yay, you got a cat! What's its name?"

[chasingangela]

Angela shakes her head. "I know! I wouldn't have beleived it except I saw her do it."

"The cat doesn't have a name yet. He never gave it one, so I get to think something up." Angela muses, balancing a pen on her lip. "My cat at home is called Shadow, but..."

Holds up cue card

"Muppet Chicken... If a Muppet chicken can get along with a bear, why not a cat? Okay... I was wrong but the muppet thing clouded the issue."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's more of the issue of the regular cat getting along with any kind of chicken."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty reflexsively opens his mouth to say something snarky but ends up singing.


Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?
He said, keep on rocking baby, ’til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
’til the night is gone

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty scowls and makes the mistake of opening his mouth


I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing


Marty rolls his eyes and holds up a cue card that says.

"Don't eat the Ham and Cheese sandwiches today."

He then pulls out a copy of the school newspaper, points to the "Shipping News" and points to Rory with a smirk on his face.

Rory sighs. "I know. I should have listened to you. But you can't gloat without Abba's help today, can you?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Pulls out poster board and writes on it.

TOLD YOU SO!!!

And hops around Rory waving the sign.

When he's down he sits down and writes:

"At least you didn't have detention with Drusilla."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory observes this, smiling.

"It'd be more effective if you gloated vocally," she says when he's done. "And I have detention with someone Saturday. For all I know, it's still Drusilla."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty writes on cue card

"Neener-Neener."

"Just wait till I don't have to sing any more."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shrugs. "Nothing is going to spoil my mood. That whole thing," she gestures to the paper, "is cleared up. Though I haven't seen Jake yet. I hope he's okay."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty points to the newspaper.

Writes out: "Must be still alive."
