Journalism Class - Tuesday November 1

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

There's a pre-recorded message on the screen behind Spider's desk.


Given the number of ghost stories I've heard recently, I'm intrigued. Find an eyewitness to events at the Halloween Ball and interview them. Use their statement to either support or disprove the claim of ghosts/hauntings/possession.

Maia walks into the class with her drop slip. She sighs as she sees the message and then leaves.

John signs in and calls Vala about the Journalism assignment (http://www.livejournal.com/users/aka_vala/1287.html?thread=226567#t226567).

Chloe signs in and sits down. After the experience she had in the cellar of Efferton Manor, she's pretty sure she'd make a good eyewitness for someone.

Xander turns to her and raises an eyebrow. "Freaky business at the party? I didn't make it out there myself."

[fh_jackass]

Logan, overhearing this, laughs. "Oh yeah," he says.

[mycanonhatesme]

"Freaky doesn't even begin to cover it," Chloe says, nodding sharply. "I consider myself to be a pretty sensible person, but there is definitely something less than natural in the cellar of that manor."

{ooc - I saw! With the licking and the sucking and the I'll be in my bunking!}

Xander signs in, then, after reading the screen, zooms in on Chloe as the closest possible interview subject who isn't, you know. Gone or on the phone. Assuming she even went to the party, and hadn't done the same thing he had spending most of Saturday shopping and watching Shrek 2 with his mun's semi-parental-type creature, holing up in the dorms to avoid some of the freakier parental-type creatures.

Logan signs in.

[chasingangela]

"Hey, Logan. Thanks for sitting through brunch Sunday.

Can I interview you about the manor thing?"

[OOC: Angela hasn't heard about Kitty yet.]

[fh_jackass]

Logan's eyes flicker over Angela's face and arms. "Sure," he says. "Ask away."

[chasingangela]

Slightly discomfited by his gaze, Angela pulls out her notebook. "So what happened to you at the ball?"

[chasingangela]

Angela signs in. Overhearing Xander's conversation, she goes and sits next to Logan.

Duce takes a seat not to far from Chloe and Xander. Her t-shirt today is apparently appropriate for this class. It reads:

"I went to the Halloween Party at Efferton Manor and All I got was this lousy t-shirt!

... Oooooh, what'd YOU get?!"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

As he comes in, he notices Jake and Rory having what seems to be a private conversation. Not wanting to interrupt, he goes to sit near Duce instead. "Nice shirt."

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce quirks a grin at Alex. "Thanks. Did you go? We skipped out on most of the festivities. Thought the basement would be safe, but would you believe there were actually people in the scorpion pit room?"

Glowering with both amusement and annoyance, she gestures across the room at Jake with her chin, "He corrupted the scorpions. They were singing. Britney Speares, if you can believe it. We'd be wary of Jake's taste in music, if we were you."

(ooc: running out to do laundry. back in a bit!)

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head. "No, I sort of... passed out. Was really tired for some reason and just slept through the whole thing. Not that I would have gone without Jake and we know he wasn't exactly up for it." Krycek smirks, glancing over at the aforementioned boyfriend at Duce's gesture. "So far, Jake seems to have little interest in music as a whole, but I'll keep an ear out."

(ooc: Sorry, I went to lunch shortly after I got this, just got to reply now)

Jake comes in, stares at the message and heads directly for the coffee, muttering something about 'bastards' and 'damn, damn house'.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shuffles in, looking like she's had a very difficult night.

She notices Logan and Angela talking, and decides to go over to Jake.

"Hi," she says quietly. "Did you go to the thingy?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"The halloween thing? No, I've been to that place before, wasn't that tempted." Jake shakes his head firmly, then holds out the coffee he's just poured. "Here, take this. You look like you need it."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Rory says gratefully. She takes the cup and stares into it distractedly, not drinking. "Then...well, I guess I could interview Logan after Angela's done, or something. What happened to you when you were there before?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Signing in, Krycek checks the feeds and the desk for anything important, then goes to sit by Duce (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/301889.html?thread=14739009#t14739009).

Veronica vaguely recalls hearing something about Rogue and her guardian, Logan, at the party. She makes a note to call her and interview her for the assignment.

Still sporting the dark-glasses and monstrously huge coffee mug () from yesterday, D'anna signs in and groans inwardly at the assignment. I hate this place. I hate this place. Oooooooo, wait! Extra credit! I have extra credit! Might use that instead. That last thought thankfully is enough to keep her from braining herself with her coffee mug.

Ivanova signs in and looks around for someone else that she knew was at the party, but didn't see anyone. She didn't quite think she could interview herself, but maybe she could trackdown her sidekick, the Math Elf . . .
