Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She sits at her desk with her head in her hands. On the board in big letters, it says Free Period. She's trying very hard to maintain in front of the class, but really isn't doing a very good job.

*stops by her desk and puts his hand on her arm* Are you okay?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She speaks to you all... (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/308618.html?thread=15174026#t15174026)

Piper wanders into class, grateful it's a free period. She glances sympathetically at the professor.

Veronica sits next to Piper.

[absolutesnark]

Piper glances at Veronica and smiles somewhat sadly.

Veronica reaches over and squeezes Piper's hand.

[absolutesnark]

Piper remains silent, but is very glad to be in the company of a good friend.

*Lindsey sits down near Piper and listens to CJ's announcement.*

Still wearing dark glasses and toting a larger than average coffee mug, D'anna comes in and sets her things down at her desk. She doesn't want to intrude where she isn't wanted, so she hangs back at her seat.

Rory walks in, and immediately goes to kneel beside Professor Cregg's desk.

"Professor? Ma'am?" she asks shakily. Whatever had happened at the staff meeting couldn't have been good.

Sydney walks in and looks at CJ. "Are you...alright?"

Sonia tentatively knocks on the door of what she hopes is Professor Cregg's classroom.

"Professor?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Come in...what do you need?

((I'm considering you interrupting the explanation so I can leave, ok? (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/308618.html?thread=15174026#t15174026)))

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Professor, I'm glad I caught you. Something's happened..."

Sonia lowers her voice. "It's the Doctor- he's...not right. Something happened in class- I'm not sure vhat, but he was muttering something about gremlins. Does that make any sense? Anyvays, he got angry, and started, erm, terrorizing the students, then made a comment about coming to look for you. Sam Carter and a few others have gone to look for him, but ve thought you should know, in case he shows up."

She pauses to catch her breath, waiting for CJ's reaction.

Logan takes a seat, not wanting to interrupt the crowd gathered aroung the desk.

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

Allie reaches for Logan's hand, her eyes glistening, when Professor Cregg makes the announcement. She didn't know Kitty, but it's sad and terrifying and she needs reassurance.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily is worried, but doesn't really feel comfortable approaching the professor.

[Her voice quiet and shaking] You'll all know soon enough nayhow, the Dean will make the announcement. One of our students, Kitty Pryde, has been murdered. It's just hitting me really hard, gang. I'm sorry.

[After listening to Sonia, she gets up and leaves]

*Biting her lip, she watches her go, debating with herself to follow her or not*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, shit," Rory swears uncharacteristically. She glances shakily at Liz. "Should we go after her, do you think?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth looks at Rory. "I'm... I'm not sure. She can always to tell us to go away if we do?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods. "Can't hurt to try, anyway," she says, following after Professor Cregg.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Elizabeth agrees, stepping in besides Rory.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Liz...did you know Kitty?" Rory asks quietly as they trail after CJ. "I'm organizing a memorial for her."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Not really. I'd spoken to her a few times, but that was it," Elizabeth says, equally quietly. "If you need a hand with that, just let me know, okay?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods. "I'm trying to find people who would want to speak, or write something. I'm thinking Professor Cregg might want to be involved, and I've got the Tick working on it...and maybe I'll get the shop teacher. Kitty TA'd for him."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Professor MacGyver? Yeah," Elizabeth agrees. "Would the Dean speak, perhaps?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods. "I think so. He was very in favor of the idea when I asked him this morning."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"You probably won't need many more than that... a couple of friends," Elizabeth says.

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

Anya strolls in late to class, and immediately wonders what the hell CJ assigned today.

Everyone seems upset, and the teacher herself is missing.
