Hacking 101; Monday; Period 2

Class was in the computer lab today but there were no lectures prepared or programs booted up on the computers in front of the students. He wasn't going to be the guy that made everyone work after something like that a murderous carnival.

"So hey," he said easily, smiling at everyone. "Pretty tough weekend. I spent most of it in the library so I have no lesson plan for today. But, I know we need a class so we're still here in the computer lab and I've made sure there's a nice selection of games on these computers. Puzzles, board, adventure, action -- "

And absolutely nothing carnival related, thank you.

" -- for you guys to pick from. I know typically these kind of classes would involve a movie but eh, I wanted to be a little different and at least keep you on computers. If you'd rather, you can practice what we've already learned but take it easy and take care of yourselves, okay?"

With that, he let them get to work or get to playing.

"I've learned my future," she said. "I suppose, though, if the carnival was evil, it was a lie. And I got to see Mother and Father again, so that was pleasant. Was that what made radio?"

She lifted her shoulders, listlessly. "I don't -- I'm not very good at this. I did a great deal of crying when I first returned to myself, and last night, in my room, but I can't ... switch it on again simply because you weren't here for it. I'm just tired, and empty."

"Yeah, that's some of it," Joker told her. "So... there's no way that's not majorly fucked up." He gave her a shrug "I'm not asking you to turn it back on again for me," Joker told her. "'Cause that would be super fucking twisted. I'm just saying... if you have more you need to let out, I'm here. If you want to talk about it, I'm here. And if you don't... well, I'm still here. We could watch a movie or something to try to take your mind off it. It's just... you don't have to wall it all up, and you don't have to do it alone."

Okay, this was class, so she couldn't actually wriggle over next to him and cuddle or anything. Tempting though that may be.

She did, in fact, reach her hand over, tentatively, near him. If he wanted to take it -- that would be very nice, indeed.

Yeah, he did want take it. He squeezed her hand affectionately, and tugged to try to get her to come closer. Their assignment for today was to dick off all class; taking a break from that didn't exactly feel like something Professor Riley would mind.

All right, that was invitation enough. Eleanor was going to lean over and rest her head on his shoulder, hoping it wasn't too much weight.

"Are you busy, after this?" she asked, softly. "I might like -- I don't think I want to talk about it." Not yet. "But I might like to sit and not talk."

Not too much weight at all. Joker gave her hand another squeeze. "Conveniently enough, I've got plenty of free time after class. As much as you need."
