Wednesday: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

Instead of going to a classroom today, the students were directed to the third floor of the dorms where they would find the hallway teeming with Jamie-Dupes wearing labcoats and goggles. Each one of them had a clipboard, calipers, measuring tape, litmus strips, cotton swabs and all sorts of scientific goodies that they seemed to be using on all of the doorknobs on the third floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Jamie said stepping forward and pulling down his goggles. "Today we leave our childhood behind and step into the future. Into the grand thing we know as... SCIENCE!"

If Reed Richards knew what was going to happen next, there would be a lot of weeping for the future.

"It has long been hypothesized that the doors in the dorms have curious properties."

Um. No. They really haven't.

"In fact one might say the doorknobs of these doors... taste like bacon."

Yep. Reed Richards. Big honking tears.

"Your job is to lick these doorknobs and see if they taste like bacon. FOR SCIENCE!"

Don't expect to get a Nobel prize for this one Jamie.

Seifer wasn't participating today. In fact, he was going to hang out right by the edge of the common room and watch his fellow classmates deal with The Crazy.

Yes, his instructor got capital letters now.

He probably deserved those capital letters.

"Hey there Father," Jamie said motioning Seifer to a door. "Time for you to make your contribution to SCIENCE!"

Seifer looked at the door and shook his head. "I think will have to pass. I already have enough mental trauma."

"I understand," Jamie said with a sympathetic look. "In that case you can lick the ceiling."

"And you think that will help?" Seriously, it wouldn't. "Do I get another option?"

"Well no one has licked the floor yet."

"Ew, have you seen some of the people who walk around this place?" Seifer asked, thoroughly disgusted.

"What's my next choice?"

"Can you handle eating five pounds of bacon?"

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] knight-fatali.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not a problem. Can I have eggs and hash browns too?"

He was definitely going to have to go for a run later.

Re: For SCIENCE!

"No. Just the bacon," Jamie replied. "The hashbrowns and eggs are for another class."

Re: For SCIENCE!

Seifer shrugged and then nodded. "Sure, bring on the bacon."

"Excellent!" Jamie said as a dupe came forward and handed Siefer a plate. "And I'll expect your 20 page report on Francis Bacon by the next class period."

Did he mention the report? Hmm.

Re: For SCIENCE!

Seifer blinked at the plate of bacon and then shrugged as he took it. "Okay then. Standard margins or two inch?"

It wasn't just The Crazy that he was going to have to deal with.

"I'm sorry," Squall told him, whether he wanted to listen or not. "For assuming. And misunderstanding. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] knight-fatali.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Seifer was momentarily distracted by The Crazy by something astonishing.

"Did you just... really?"

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] whateverknight.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Squall frowned. "Did I just really what?"

He'd like to hate Seifer only for the things Seifer had actually done wrong. If Monday's text hadn't actually been meant as a taunt, then all the yelling yesterday had been his fault.

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] knight-fatali.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Apologize." Of course, Squall had just apologized. As if he world wasn't completely insane already, what with breakdowns and door knob licking... Now Squall Leonhart was apologizing, and it was longer than one word.

"Okay. You know what? Apology accepted, girly moment over, let us never speak of this again."

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] whateverknight.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course I apologized," Squall countered. "That's what people do when they've done something wrong. Why would you think I wouldn't?"

He shrugged. "Radio said you destroyed your room." He left that comment hanging. Seifer could reply to it, or not.

"Because you're usually right?" And that really grated on Seifer sometimes.

Seifer clenched his fist briefly, the scrapes and cuts from punching the wall stinging a bit. "Yeah. My dresser and I had some creative differences, then the nightstand got involved and the walls jumped in. It was just ugly," he joked.

"...But when I am wrong, I apologize," Squall pointed out. He shrugged. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize how badly this weekend hurt you. I guess I don't understand you as well as I thought I did."

He looked down at his feet for a little bit, thinking. "You should probably... talk to someone. About stuff. If you want." Not him. But Seifer had plenty of friends on Fandom, right?

Seifer had a George and some acquaintances and whatever the hell Squall and Rinoa were.

"Yeah, I probably should." He was even going to admit that it had gotten pretty bad. "Mostly? I'm waiting to see how much trouble I'm in. I mean, I'm assuming they're not going to kick me out because I haven't been escorted off the island yet."

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] whateverknight.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Squall frowned some more. Normally, he thought he understood Seifer fairly well. The two of them were more similar than they were different, after all. Today, though, he had no idea what was going on. "Why would they kick you out?" he asked, thoroughly confused.

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] knight-fatali.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Seifer threw a confused look at Squall and then grinned. "You never listen to the radio, do you?"

The grin disappeared rather quickly as he continued. "I kind of trashed part of my room last night."

Re: For SCIENCE!

[identity profile] whateverknight.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Squall shrugged. "They're not going to kick you out for that. Dunno how much trouble you'll be in, but it's not that much."

"Yeah, well, I'm still use to Garden where they throw you in solitary for a difference of opinion."

Yeah, disobeying orders was really a difference of opinion.
