Dance Club Meeting - 7 PM FHT

Rory sits cross-legged on a table, waiting for the others to show up.

She looks at her watch every few minutes, wanting to keep the meeting as short as possible. Drawing it out seems...morbid.

[She comes in in leggings and a long shirt, a scarf tied around her head]

Hey Rory. I wasn't sure we'd be doing this...[she stops short]...at all, really.

"Hey, you feeling any better?" Elizabeth asks as she enters, and spots Rory.

Rory glances up. "You know, then? About Kitty?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Rory shakes her head. "Listen, thanks for taking care of the yearbook thing for me. I'm still...not okay, but, um, Kitty can't make it," she swallows, "so I'm going to run the meeting, I guess."

"Hey, it wasn't a problem," Elizabeth says, placing a comforting hand on Rory's arm. "You know you can count on me for anything, right?"

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [Her bottom lip quivers, but she takes a deep breath.] The whole staff knows.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "Thanks, Liz." She swallows hard. "I'm not sure how long the meeting's going to last, by the way. And we're not going to be dancing."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods, and blinks a few times.

"Yeah. I wanted to have at least one meeting, to let everyone know that there won't be any more for awhile."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Rory, I think we should try to keep things as normal as possible. I know this is really hard, but we can't just stop everything. Kitty woudn't want us to, you know.

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth half-shrugs. "I figured that... I'm not exactly dressed for dancing," she says, looking down at her jeans and t-shirt.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Rory frowns. "It feels...morbid, though."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I know, honey. I've been through this before, though...if you don't go on with your life...[She sighs deeply and looks down]...you have to go on. Consider it a gift to her memory. Ok?

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Me neither," Rory says, lifting half her mouth in a smile. "But...yeah. Look, Liz, you should probably be back in 239 and 240, spending time with your friends. This meeting is going to be depressing."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "True. Do any students know? Other than me and Alanna and the," she thinks for a second, "three people we've told?"

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth tilts her head slightly. "Rory, what's going on?" she asks, her voice low and calm.

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how many students know, Rory. I think we should try to keep it quiet. I know the Dean and the authorities are working on it. The kids will find out soon enough.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"I agree. The only ones who know are the people who were there when Alanna told me, and my boyfriend. As far as I know, anyway. And...we don't need people in a panic."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Rory sighs. "I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but you'll find out soon enough...a student was killed on Thursday, in town."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth pales, and puts two and two together, coming up with five. Her voice catches. "Was it Kitty?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods vehemently. "I don't know the details, but that's what Alanna told me, and I'd trust her to know."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth bites on her lip, her face pale. "Oh my God," she whispers, leaning against the table.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you okay?" Rory asks, looking concerned. "Want to sit down? I fainted when I found out yesterday."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth waves off her concern. "I'll be fine," she says, although she still grabs the nearest chair and sits down heavily in it. "It's just... God..."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "I know. It's...horrifying. I still don't know why. Or how. Or...who."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth looks up at Rory, her eyes growing slightly wider. "It was under suspicious circumstances then? It wasn't just some freak, awful accident?"
