Science Club (After Class)

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. Welcome to Science Club, I hope everyone had an okay week, all things considered.

This week our experiment is homemade infrared goggles. There are some warnings and other handouts next to all the materials, you might want to read them first.

Oh, and a quick disclaimer. You get busted doing something shady in the girls locker room with these, you are on your own. I don't know you.

That's it. If you have any questions, let me know.

Marty walks into the room and waves at Cuddy and takes a chair and places it in front of the chemical storage closet.

"Don't mind me Cuddy. I'm just here to observe and make sure Jonathan Crane no one takes anything out of the store room that they shouldn't be taking"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa gives him a curious, sideways glance. "Do I really want to know?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"You remember our conversation that we had not too long ago, right?" Marty says with a knowing glance. "Dean Bristow thought it might be a good idea to have some here to watch Jonathan Crane and make sure no one was stealing from the supply cabinet again. Professor Sidle was quite angry about that so... here I am."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah..." she drawls. "I remember. It's a good idea, just to be safe. Although I can't imagine who would be stupid enough to steal from the labs now, with the Dean and Professor Sidle keeping an eye on things. They are both... Samuel L. Jackson voice : scary motherfuckers intense."

"Look, Marty, I know you think it's... He's really not a bad guy, illicit internet pornography aside. He saved my life over Halloween. I don't think he'd hurt anyone, really."

She gives Marty an awkward smiling, feeling a little less guilty about casting suspicion on Crane in the first place.

Marty walks over to Cuddy and speaks softly so no one else can hear him. "Look Cud- Lisa. I know that Crane puts on a good act, but honestly? Your statement to me isn't the reason why I know he's the one who did this. So... Just be careful around him. Okay?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

She draws a hand up to her face, rubbing both of her temples with one hand for a moment. "You can call me Cuddy. I don't care either way."

She pulls her hand down and looks at Marty with a tired, frustrated glance, "Is there anyone or anything at this school I don't have to be careful around?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty thinks about this for a long time before answering. "I'm thinking the safest thing on this campus? Dean Bristow's or Principal Connor's office," he says with a small grin.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Her laugh is hollow. "Right, I'll keep that in mind. I'm sure the Dean wouldn't mind if I came over in my jammies for an extended sleepover. Think he likes John Hughes movies? We could watch The Breakfast Club together while I do my homework and he paints his nails."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Actually he's more of a fan of 'Pretty in Pink'. I think it's because he can relate to Jon Cryer."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Wow, you beter hope this room isn't bugged. And knowing our administration, it definitely is."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"You're the one who says he paints his toenails."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"But I'm cute. I can be easily dismissed as an air-headed teen girl. You, my friend, have no such tool in your arsenal."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

I have a tool, but I don't think Bristow is interested in it

"Aww. Bristow likes me. His stone like face almost twitched one time when I was in his office."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

He did give you a cavity search, did he not? Some men like to mix business and pleasure.

"Maybe he was allergic to something... like, let's say, your bullshit?" she smiles sweetly.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty thwaps his hand to his chest as though mortally wounded.

"Oh! Now you're just being mean! How can you say such a thing."

Actually it was just a pap smear. The good news is I don't have cervical cancer.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Riiiiight. Don't hurt yourself."

Can't be too careful about your reproductive health, young man.

Jonathan sees Martin Blank when he walks in and rolls his eyes (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/348182.html?thread=16707094#t16707094)

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

Allie walks into the Science Club meeting and looks at the project skeptically.

"I think I'll sit this one out, Lisa," she says.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, c'mon Cameron. Promise, nothing will explode. Umm... this time."

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

"But what if... someone finds them?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"They're not illegal, and they aren't weapons. Can't imagine how they'd get anyone into trouble any more than anything else."

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

Allie still doesn't look convinced, but she decides to give it a shot anyway.

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots came in, carefully moving his laptop to his side. He glared at Marty and sat down to work on the experiment.

Jonathan walks in to Science club a bit late. He sees Martin Blank and rolls his eyes before heading towards the supplies and pulling out some of the filters for the goggles.

"Just so you know Jersey-girl," Jonathan says, "you're cunning attempt to get the drop on my newly improved Bot for the rematch won't work. I'll be on the look-out for you skulking around my dorm room while wearing these. Especially if I've just got out of the shower," he says with a wink before moving to an open table and getting to work.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty returns to his post by the chemical supply closet.

"Johnny! How you been buddy-o-pal!"

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Blank, it's really nice to see some one of your particular academic stature take an interest in science club. I mean what a positive message to be sending to the student body. 'Science Club, it's not just for the Intelligent anymore!'" he says with a smile.

"Wonderful of you, really."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty ignores the insult.

"Actually Johnn-o, I'm here to make sure no one goes into the chemical supply closet and swipe anything they're not supposed to. Dean Bristow was very concerned about that so I told him I'd be keeping an eye on it. So why don't you go work on your little x-ray specs like the good little geek you are and I'll make sure no one causes any trouble."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"The Dean sent you to play guard dog, well isn't that precious. You know, if you give me a couple minutes I can run up to the dorms and see if some one has a snausage or two just for you," he says smiling widely and gesturing for the door.

"Although I suppose if you're really hungry I could get you a snickerdoodle. I'm sure somebody has some."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Gosh that's awfully nice of you John, but you never know what kind of stuff people put into those cookies. And I'd hate to take you away from your experiments. I know how well you'd probably get along with all those lab rats and assorted vermin."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"I'd look around for some one for you to pal around with but damn, I forgot John Hinkley, James Earl Ray and Lee Harvey Oswald's cell numbers. suppose we'll have to find some one else for you to playdate with," Jonathan tells him sarcastically.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"What you mean your friends Ted Bundy, Son of Sam and Charles Manson are available to hang out with?"

Marty snaps his fingers.

"Darn."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"My friends?" Jonathan asks, "I'd imagine you'd be much more familiar with that kind of person than I am."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Somehow I doubt that. Besides psychopaths kill for no reason. I killed for money. Not that I do that anymore."

((OOC: Gives you Cusack Points for GPB Phrase setup!!))

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

Jonathan nods, "Yes I see how you would have the moral high ground over those other people. I mean, being a sociopath and killing for money, why that's far better than a crime of passion," he says as if the realization is just dawning on him, "I mean, claerly you are so much better of a person seeing as you didn't kill anyone for any great personal cause or belief, but rather, because people paid you.

Yes, I understand now."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Actually I'm a better person because I *don't* kill people now. Or for that matter drug people against their will while hiding behind a thin veneer of manners and intellect. Not that I'm implying anything."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"Why would you start implying things now Blank?" Jonathan asks looking straight into his eyes, "I mean, an implication usually means subtlety and the way you've run about campus, telling everyone about what an awful, awful little boy I am, going so far as to stalk me during my club time and hassle my friends I fail to see why you should try for subtlety now," he says, putting his things down and folding his hands in front of him.

"The way i see this Blank, is that for some reason you've decided to preside over my public crucifixion, despite a complete lack of evidence. So where as I fully appreciate you bumbling around like Inspector Clousseau and attempting to thwart my non existent evil plans, maybe it's time for you to act like a grown up and let it go.

Also? Attacking me because unlike some I posses the ability to be civil with those who wouldn't know civility if it joined them for tea is juvenile and I'm shocked you'd do it. Oh wait, no, I'm really not."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty rolls his eyes and the gives a little golf clap

"Nice Speech John-John. Save it for someone who buys your little act."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Blank, my name is Jonathan Crane, J-O-N-A-N-A-T-H-A-N C-R-A-N-E. I know how difficult rudimentary spelling must be for some one like you but really, let's try and at least pretend your capable of grasping the concept.

If you'll excuse me, suddenly this room has become unpleasant," he says getting up to leave.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty smiles. "Nice talking to you John. See ya' next club meeting."

Jessica smiles at her finished project. These sort of things could be useful.
