Chloe sits in the Journalism classroom, tapping away at her laptop. If you glance at the screen fast enough, you might catch her playing solitaire before she switches windows and brings up actual work.

[zomg so late! *apologizes profusely*]

Comments

Veronica ducks in after her phone call to Marty and before self defense class.

"Hey Chlo'!"

[mycanonhatesme]

"Veronica! Hey!" Chloe looks up from her computer, grinning.

"I've got interviews lined up with Piper and Phoebe Halliwell and Tara Maclay for my story this week. I'm doing a feature on witches."

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe gives Veronica an intrigued look. "Ooh, that sounds like fun. My experience with witches has been...less than pleasant, but I know Piper and Tara are probably very different, and good."

Callisto wanders in after Sociology. "Hey Chloe."

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hey Callisto," Chloe says, waving. "How's it going?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Apart from gremlins stealing my clothes, being drafted into the Dean's freaky religous rituals, my vampiric non-boyfriend going all wacky on me, and John's toaster trying to get me to sleep with Angel? I'm doing okay." Callisto nods "What about you?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"I'm all right. It's been kind of a weird day. Don't even talk to me about that toaster omg. Not that that's any different from your average day here, I suppose."

Rory wanders in, carrying her laptop (which, if one looked carefully, still has a bit of waffle on it) and curls up on the couch in the back. "Hey, blonde people," she calls as she sits.

[chasingangela]

"I'm not blonde," Angela says, wandering in after Rory. "Not since I was, six, anyhow."

She smiles, seeming to be in a positively pbubbly mood by Angela standards. "How is everyone?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"I could be blond," Jake comments, shuffling in. He looks tired.

[chasingangela]

"So could I," Angela says, giving a piece of her own hair a cross-eyed look. "I'd just need to bleach out the red."

She laughs, realizing who she's talking to. "You would probably need fewer chemicals, right?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"We like you better as a brunette though," Chloe teases. "Are you okay?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek wanders in, humming in a very distracted sort of way before he waves at Chloe. "Evening."

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe walks quickly over to Krycek, grabbing him by the arm and all but dragging him to a quieter part of the room. "You! You have serious explaining to do."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Me?" He looks honestly confused, having missed what Jake was saying, but not thrilled about apparently being blamed for something he's not aware of. "About what exactly?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"Explain to me why Jake is saying he got shot over break," Chloe says, still holding his arm tightly. "Preferably in a way that doesn't make me want to shoot you."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel walks in. He avoids Rory assuming she's there when he is and makes his way to Jake and Chloe.

"Hi. I - I need to talk to you."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

[ooc: i had v leave before the jake & kry drama started... but if you got here before that, tag her on her way out...]

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

[ooc: This is what I get for watching new canon instead of RPing ;) ]

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe's getting better about not getting nervous when she sees Angel, and she even gives him a smile. "Hey. What's up?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel gave Chloe a semi-nervous smile right back. "Hey. I - uh - I wanted to talk about this newspaper thing. You know, since I've got a soul now."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek returns about 20 minutes later, looking somewhat subdued. He'd brought Jake up to his room and made sure he was comfortable (not that Jake would even be able to tell with how deeply he slept usually) and that there was food for him nearby. If he happened to wake up while Krycek was out, he'd probably be hungry. And even if he wasn't, the note that was sitting on the desk instructed Jake to eat anyway or face dire consequences.

He sits down on the couch to wait for Chloe to finish whatever she's doing, readying himself for questioning.

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe sees Krycek come back in, and manages to keep from glaring at him again. When she's done handing out assignments to those who are still there, she goes over to the couch and sits down next to him, doing her best to maintain some semblance of a rational voice.

"So, seeing as how Jake's been walking around all week, I assume he can somehow survive a bullet to the head?" she asks shortly. There's a mental image that goes with that, she's certain, but she's trying not to let herself see it.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek watches her walk over and manages not to pull away when she sits down, feeling defensive and disliking it. Guardedly, he replies, "He told me before we left that he thought he could. I hadn't actually intended on testing it out." Seeing her look, he shrugs, finally failing at keeping away the blank-faced, non-expression that Jake hates so much. "I know what it feels like to be shot in the head, Chloe," he says, faintly angry. "At least Jake didn't feel it like I did. At least he lived."
