Conspiracy Theories - Period 2, Wednesday

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

So, it was raining maple syrup. That was a thing that was happening.

Awesome.

That would be why the teacher was looking a bit sticky and annoyed at the front of the class. You could actually tell he was annoyed because he wasn't wearing his armor for once. Because it was covered in maple syrup.

"Welcome to class." You brave souls who went out in this weather. "You can call me Washington, I'll apparently be your teacher for Conspiracy Theories."

Again. Awesome.

"If anyone has a theory about the weather, I'd love to hear it." He shook his head, making a face at being sticky as he moved. "Tell me your names and what you want to learn here while the rain hopefully dies down before it kills off the local plants and wildlife."

Wash was a giant buzzkillington about these things.

"To be more efficient workers for the state?" Lottie knew the Canadians weren't actually Communists. Probably.

"Canada isn't a socialist state." Now she knew for certain!

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"Not that you know of." Yeah, now she was just having fun.

Rude, Lottie. Rude.

"No. It's a fact."

Why was he even arguing this?

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"Oh? Are you perhaps a high-ranking Canadian official?"

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Agent Washington was just a clever fake out. I'm actually Canadian."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"Well then you should already know all about the secret plan to annex the United States."

Re: Introduce Yourself

"You're insane." In case she didn't know that.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"It's been said," Lottie agreed. "But you're the one who's teachin conspiracy theories."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"Not by choice." That probably didn't help at all.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"Sooooo what you're sayin is that YOU YOURSELF are an object lesson in conspiracies."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"More than you know." Because that wasn't weird or cryptic.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

"I suppose that would make you a decent candidate for teaching the subjeck," Lottie noted.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. I think." He was going to accept all the praise he could, let's be real. "I don't suppose you'd be interested in being a teaching assistant."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

Lottie gave this the serious consideration it deserved. "Do I get to lord my power over other students?"

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"...I suppose."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

Lottie celebrated this new found power in the traditional manner of her people: jumping up on the nearest sturdy looking elevated flat surface, which in this case was Wash's desk, and doing a little celebratory song and dance.

Two years ago, realizing she'd done this would have made her terrible embarrassed, but she'd grown as a person since then, and gave no shits.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

Wash immediately regretted this decision. Immediately.

"Oh god, you've got to be kidding me."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

Lottie finished her dance and stepped back down to the floor with great dignity. "There's nothing wrong with bringing a little celebration to your day."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"There really, really is."

Buzzkill.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

Lottie didn't look impressed. "Like what?"

Re: Introduce Yourself

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

"Like professionalism for one."

Re: Introduce Yourself

[bestatmystery]

Lottie blew a raspberry at him.

Such was what she thought of professionalism.
