Journalism Class - Monday September 12

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider's cat is draped over one shoulder, smoking as usual, when he stalks into the classroom. He's carrying a box under one arm labeled, 'Gavin' and limping slightly.

"Nice to see so many of you here already," although his tone isn't exactly encouraging as he puts the box on the desk and dislodges the two-faced cat. "Take dictation. Anyone who doesn't have their homework in by Wednesday," and he turned, watching his words appear on the screen behind his desk, "will be forcibly ejected from my class."

Turning again, he scowled at the room at large. "For the new arrivals, I'm Spider Jerusalem, your Journalism professor. I don't want to be here and I hate you. Accept those two facts as being both incontrovertable and impersonal and we'll get on just fine. Thus far, I've been relatively lenient with my students but 90% of your grade is going to be on class participation and we haven't seen much of that so far."

Spider folded his arms and leaned back against his desk. "Every student who walks through those doors this morning is going to stop and address the class as to why they are taking Journalism this semester and what they expect to get from it. Assistant?" He looked over the top of his glasses at Phoebe and her bruises. "Have you been to the clinic for those yet?"

Phoebe looked back at him from where she was talking to Jayne.

"Nope. I have been too busy plotting a messy revenge for the person/thing who left the bruises on me."

"No bodies and, if you're involving him," gesturing at Jayne, "no subtlety either." He eyed her again. "If you're not going to go to the clinic, there's a bottle of the purple stuff in the desk. That ought to hold you over for a bit."

Phoebe nods and goes and gets the purple stuff.

"By the way...where did you end up after Rover attacked us?"

Spider pursed his lips. "There was nudity involved. Are you sure you want to know?"

Phoebe raised a brow.

"I ended up in a dishwasher. Alex ended up in a gym locker. Where did he drop you? I'm making notes on all of this."

"A closet. A locked closet. Nude." Spider gave her a thoughtful look. "Don't get expelled."

Phoebe gave him an innocent look.

"I'm not going to get expelled. You need me too much." She grinned.
