Introduction to Archaeology, 5th Period

Daniel's attention is focused on his laptop as he waits for his students.

"Okay, hopefully you're all set to present today," he said. "And after that, I hope you've all remembered the gifts Pippi so thoughtfully gave you last lesson, because I get to be the adult supervision."

Daniel's pleased with this. Normally he's the one who has to be supervised.

Boykissy? Daniel was pretty sure he didn't want to know about that. Still, at least that would be something Janet wouldn't be involved in.

Daniel gulped. "Streaking through the common room?" The images that that produced were certainly not suitable for the classroom.

Blair nodded seriously. "Streaking. And people throw money." Hey, it was his story, he could add to it.

Daniel swallowed - hard. "So, nudity's a casual thing on that floor?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

"Totally. It's like the nude floor. They're pretty casual about kissing and stuff too. Probably sex too. It's like...really really bad."

Daniel wondered if he needed to sit down and have a chat with Janet some time soon.

Not that he didn't trust her, because he did. Completely.

"So, do you know many of the second floor?" He really did try to sound casual there.

"Some. Angel's my big brother and he lives with John. Callisto sleeps over a lot with Angel." Blair nodded. "They're dating. "Logan lives there and Cally and Anders who are also dating and Bridge. Bridge is cool! Um, Sam lives there too, I think, oh and Charlie Kawalsky lives somewhere there...but I couldn't find his room."

Daniel was relieved that Janet wasn't mentioned. Surely after those tales of the second floor, anonimity was a good thing?

He nodded. "I know Sam and Charlie," he said. "I never realized that they were, ah, quite that casual."

~~So if anyone started dropping dead on the second floor, he knew who Sam had been kissing, right?~~

Blair nodded. "Although I don't know everyone on the floor because I'm a freshman. Plus I try to stay away from the sex and naked stuff. It gets me all flustered and I sort blush and once I fell down."

Daniel mentally *flailed*. And would quite possibly had physically *flailed* if that wouldn't be, y'know, unteacherlike and stuff.

"Oh," was all he managed to say, his voice cracking slightly.

"Do you know someone on that floor besides Sam and Charlie?"

"I know some of them, yes. Jack O'Neill ~~when he's actually around~~, Cameron Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran. Elizabeth Weir and Janet Fraiser," Daniel replied, his voice managing to sound vaguely normal.

Blair nodded. "Oh yeah, I've seen Vala and Janet around there. Elizabeth too, although I don't talk to any of them much. They're a tight group." Blair winked and grinned. "You know what I mean, man?"

"I think Cam's into drugs. Steroids maybe." He winced a little and decided that was too far. "Well, probably not, he just has some anger problems."

Daniel's mind really was going places it shouldn't. Places his mind shouldn't go even when he was at home by himself.

"Cam's a good kid," he said, completely skipping over the subject of the girls.

"Yeah, that's what people keep telling me. All I know is he's bigger than me and he's got some anger issues."

"I'm sure he'll work them out," Daniel said, slightly concerned. This was good. He was concentrating on something that was not... well, y'know. "But if he does cause you some trouble, talk to someone, okay?"

"It's not a problem. I talked to Angel who's a vampire. And Pip, who's a mercenary or something." Blair's eyes got wide. "Not that I'm going to have him killed or anything! They're just teaching me self defense!"

"Weren't we talking about girls or something?"

"Self defense is always a good skill to have," Daniel nodded, remembering way back to the beginnings of the SGC and his own self defense lessons.

"Um..."

"I'm big on the peace thing, but sometimes..." Blair shuddered a little. "Sometimes a guy my size needs more than just his mouth to get him out of trouble."

Daniel nodded. "I understand you completely," he said. "I've found a number of times in the past where words haven't been enough."

"I never really imagined that would happen. I mean, peaceful resistance should be enough. And I guess it would be in this case too..if I just wanted to get beat to a pulp."

This was a topic of conversation Daniel was much happier with than the previous. Yay.

"Whilst peaceful resistance is good in theory, I'm afraid it's not so good in the real world," Daniel said sympathetically.

"Did Ghandi promote peaceful resistance? And Martin Luther King?"

"Well, yes, but in the grand scheme of things, it's still not something we can rely on."

Of course, Daniel's grand scheme of things now included two galaxies and aliens. So his grand scheme was probably different to just about everyone else's.

Blair nodded sadly. "Although if everyone tried peace, then it would work."

He grinned and bounced. "Watch out, I might start singing Kumbaya!"

"But then it wouldn't be peaceful resistance any more," Daniel pointed out.

Daniel suddenly had a very bad thought of the System Lords all sitting in a circle and singing Kumbaya.

It was disturbing, to say the least.
