[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer is in his office anytime after second period, since he's traded lectures with Professor Dream today.


[OOC: Mun is on SP. Apologies.]

"Oh?" Kiki asks, intrigued. "What does he put them through?"


[Mun is ashamed; she's not read beyond Inferno... Has them, though, on the shelf, so it looks very impressive!]

"Pretty typical things, actually. Constant running as a punishment for Sloth, abstinence from food for Gluttony, burning in fire for Lust. Although Envy is pretty interesting: you have your eyes sewn shut and have to wear clothes that make it so you blend in with the ground." He raises an eyebrow and says, "Maybe there'd be some extra credit available if you read the entire Commedia."


[ooc: All hail the great god Wikipedia! *g*]

"Extra credit?" Kiki arches an eyebrow with a smile. "The punishment for Envy does sound interesting, though! I'll put it on my list for when I'm done with Jane Eyre."


[ooc: Huzzah! *worships*]

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"Well, fair's only fair. I'll put Jane Eyre on my list to read. When I've finished with A Regional Geography of the United States and Canada, of course."

Geoff makes a mental note to speak to his replacement about the extra credit offer.

"You haven't read it?" Kiki asks, her eyebrows going up. "Ooh, it's very good. Some mystery, some drama, some violence, some romance...all the good things a gothic novel should have. A definite change of pace from regional geography."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"Sounds intriguing. I'll definitely have to have a go at it, then."

Geoff's expression becomes serious for a moment. "You know, it just occurred to me that next week will be my last week here."

"Ehr...yes," Kiki replies quietly. "I know. There's something strange about this town, the way people come and go - so frequently, and without a word, sometimes."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"It's an unnatural town," he replies, a little darkly. Then he gives Kiki a rueful smile. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm just going to miss having these sessions with you. Who knows, though, right? My wanderings brought me here, they may well send me someplace else like this one, and we'll run into each other again."

"I hope so," Kiki smiles sadly. "I'd be pretty sad if I thought we'd never get to chat like this again."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"I would too, Kiki. You know what...how about I treat you to lunch or something at the Perk, next week?"

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Kiki's eyes light up and she grins. "That would be great, Professor. I would really enjoy that!"

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Pleased by Kiki's enthusiasm, Geoff grins broadly. "Good! Next week it is, then. What's your class schedule like?"

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"On Mondays and Wednesdays I have class either right before or right after lunch, but I'm free on Tuesdays until poetry, have no classes on Thursday, and am done after first period on Friday," Kiki answers.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"Let's make it Tuesday, then. I'll hold my office hours in the morning, and we'll grab lunch and be back well before poetry class."


[oops! *g*]

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Kiki answers, smiling happily. What better way to get over a semi-broken heart than with a *cough* Not!date *cough* with a cute professor? She straightens the pile of books in her lap. "Frankenstein for next week, right?"


[Was sooooo tempted to play that as Phale possessing Geoff! *g*]

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"All right then! It's not omg! a date! I'll see you next Tuesday." Geoff gives her a pleased grin, and nods at the question. "Yes, Frankenstein for the next lesson. I think you'll enjoy it -- it's a much deeper story that it seems on the surface."


[*jaw drops* ZOMG! It must be done! *plots insane plottiness*]

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Fabulous," Kiki grins, standing up. "I'll see you Tuesday!"


[*glees* That would be SO. AWESOME.]

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"I'll see you then, Kiki. And I hope your week gets a little better than it's started out."



[ooc: I'm seeing a timeline on this of, oh...sometime in the late spring? Say...April or May? *g*]

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" Kiki grins. "It already is, I think. Good-bye, Professor!" She waves over her shoulder.


[ooc: *g* sure! I'm game :) *rubs together hands of evil plottiness*]
