Living on the Outskirts, Friday, Period 2
Jono looked a bit like Hell warmed over this morning when he came into class. Most days, he was capable of at least putting on a decent front about it, but he hadn't managed to sleep last night for nightmares that were a fair bit worse than usual, and this morning he looked a little bit as though he'd been run over by a bus in the dead of night. But so help him, he was here and he had a DVD in hand, so that was good, right?
"Movie day," he announced. "I tried to at least keep it topical, though. A bit of scrounging," about three seconds in the library, groping at the video selection there, "turned up a documentary about the formation of one of the strongest superhero teams from my world, so you're going to watch that, and I'm going to be over at my desk with my head down. Won't that be fun?"
He popped in the DVD, went back to his desk, and hit the appropriate buttons on the remote. When the sounds coming from the television weren't quite right, he did look up for a moment, a mildly disgruntled look on his face, but he let it play. It wasn't wildly off-topic for the class itself, so bears that cared were going to get a free pass today. Screw it.
[Open!]
