Ms. Gilmore,

As former publisher of my award-winning school annual, The Rushmore Yankee, I'd be happy to advise or lend a hand in any way I'm capable. I'm sure you'll find my eye for detail refreshing. I once studied under the infamous yearbook producer, Enrique de la Cruz -- a name I'm sure you are familiar with.

If my schedule permits, I'd be pleased to attend your function. I thought it was best to introduce myself as a colleague first, rather than risking potential humiliation in front of your perspective staff.

Greetings. I look forward to conversing with you. Are you seeing anyone, by the way? You've got a great look.

Sincerely,

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory looks at the note, and is torn between being flattered and confused.

She finally chooses to reply.

Mr. Fischer -

I would be delighted to see you at the meeting, and I would certainly appreciate any insight you have. I have no doubt you have quite a lot to offer, and I look forward to your ideas, and perhaps your application to be an editor?

Thank you for introducing yourself. That was very thoughtful and letter-writing is a sorely neglected art these days.

To answer your final question: You and I may need to have a longer conversation at some point.

Truly,

Rory Gilmore.

She encloses it in an envelope, writes his name clearly on it, and, not knowing where this Max Fischer was living, tacks it up by one of her notices, hoping he'd run across it.

Max, actually, has the bulletin board staked out. He's sitting about twenty feet away, quietly reading his favorite passages from Jacques Yves Cousteau's autobiography, when he sees Rory pin up a reply. He'd been kicking himself for not putting his room number after his signature; hence the stakeout.

After the coast is clear, Max stealthily retrieves the note with his name on it, and reads it eagerly.

"Yes!" He says to himself, wishing he had someone to high five. "She wants to converse with me later! Hot!"

[ooc: Mmmmm... new doctor... *drools* I can't tell you how much I love the new outfit. I'll miss the last doctor, but... mmm. Neeewwwww doctor = reowr. And thanks! I was going to take your class, but I think I'm possibly over-committing myself. Gack!]

((I wish I could take credit for any of that! And you can always audit. Though the Doctor might end up threatening Max with the sonic screwdriver if he's too pretentious.))

Re: OOC

[That's cool. I might. And about the sonic screwdrivering: Most people just belt him in the face. So, a good old-fashioned threat might do Max a world of good. Lil' master of pretension that he is.]

ooc - Good to know I'm not the only that wants to jump David Tennant's bones (that's the doctor if you're not familar with the actor)

[ooc: It's dangerous to read this at work - I just snorted so loudly that the girl in the next cubicle thought I was sick. And you have officially made me want to see Rushmore - it's been on my list of movies to see for awhile, but this exchange has given it priority. :)]
