Photography [7/19]

Veronica might have appeared more subdued than usual when her students arrived this morning.

"Morning," she said. "I hope you all remembered to wear old clothes. Today we're going to learn the process of film developing." She gave them a handout and briefly went over it.

"Okay, I think you're ready to hit the darkroom," she said, forcing a smile. "I'll be here if you have any questions."

Once they were finished developing their photos, Veronica let them wash their hands and then instructed them to take seats in the classroom again so they could brainstorm their prompts for next week before dismissing them.

[and kindly remember that I'm all about handwaving technical terms!]

Janet studied the handout carefully. Dangerous chemicals were fun.

Parker read over the handout, and wondered if some of her photos would look better in sepia tones, or black-and-white, than in color. Hmm.

"So what do you think of the workshop so far?" asked Janet.

"I'm enjoying it. Learning a couple new techniques, and definitely getting new ideas and practice," Parker said, considering the newest prompts. Joy. Hmm. "Are you having fun?"

"It's pretty fun so far. I took it for the easy work, though, I have to admit," said Janet. "But today, we get to play with chemicals. That'll be fun."

Parker gave her a tolerant look. "You and the chemistry. Jeez. How go the rest of your workshops? I didn't see you at all this weekend while we were all voiceless, either. Hang out in your room with Liz?"

"I only have one other. I'm taking it easy." Janet nodded. "Except for my clinic shift, yeah. I wasn't feeling up to socializing."

Parker grimaced. "Tell me about it. After one day of having to throw Nerf balls at people to get their attention, and a million 'long story, tell you laters' written on the whiteboard, I was ready to go out and cut out the tongues of whoever had messed with our voices. Forget trying to communicate after that." She made a face, and added, "And I wish you'd been on-shift when Jarod was there, damnit. At least you would've called or e-mailed me."

"About half a minute after we'd finished treating him," said Janet. "Did he do the stubborn guy thing and not tell you so he didn't worry you?"

"Yes. Moron." Parker's not getting over this any time soon. "Which would've been fine if I hadn't been calling for hours, and if the Radio didn't take ten years off my life with the broadcast." She grimaced. "It's only a few stitches though. Really. He's okay."

"What is it about men that makes them want to be so idiotically stoic?" asked Janet. "I'm glad he's okay."

"I have no idea. But I wish there were gene therapy for it." Parker rolled her eyes. "Any chance your buddy Murray will be here on Friday for Career Day?" she asked hopefully.

"Wait a decade or so." Janet nodded in sympathy. "I haven't heard anything from him, anyway."

"Shame." Parker grinned. "Hey, when you and Liz do that college tour she was talking about, do you think Murray might meet us for coffee somewhere?"

"I think he's a little afraid of you," said Janet, snickering. "I think we could talk Murray into coming to Boston for a visit. The last time I saw him, he wasn't feeling too well, so I'd like to make sure he's doing better."

"Poor muscled hottie," Parker said sadly. "Tell him I said hi."

Janet giggled. "I won't tell him you're coming for coffee," she said. "Feel like practicing your ambushing skills?"

Cally read everything very carefully, as she didn't want to have an unfortunate chemical accident or anything today.

Kaylee looked over the handout carefully. She really didn't want to end up destroying her photos.

Angela read the handout very carefully. She thought her photos might be okay, and she didn't want to screw them up with chemicals.

Archie, as it happened, was in one of his nicer sets of uniform today, but in no mental state to deal with unfamiliar chemicals. He did, however, read over the handout carefully.

Stark read over the handout twice. And hoped for the best.

Dean read the handouts carefully, memorising all the details. It seemed simple enough...

Broots read over the handout and in no way considered which chemicals might be useful to sneak out.
