Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period 5

Lorelai, of course, has a very large mug of coffee in her hands as her students file in. She smiles at them brightly and waits until they've all taken their seats before beginning to speak.

"Good afternoon!" she greets. "I'm Lorelai Gilmore-Danes. I realize that's a mouthful and I have no problem with any of you calling me Lorelai. If you're not comfortable with that I'll answer to Ms. Gilmore or Ms. Danes, but you definitely don't need to use the whole thing, okay?"

She put her mug down passed out papers to each student. "This is your syllabus. It's more of a guide than it is set in stone, so it may change after we talk today."

After passing out the papers, she sat on the edge of her desk and picked up her mug again. "Now, I'm guessing most of you are from other times and places. I'll best be able to help you if you tell me where and when you're from and what you want to learn from this class."

Jaye does not look over all the newbies with any thoughts like "This should be fun." No, she doesn't. Really.

Luke didn't wave at her like a complete moron.

Really. He didn't.
fates_jaye: (i look at you funny)

Jaye waves back.

"Yeah, you're definitely new," she decides.

"I'm Luke," he replied. "Hi!"

"Jaye," she says. She can deal with friendly, she talks to Blair. "How's it going?"

"Good," Luke chirped. "Nothing's tried to eat me in more than a week!"

This was his idea of small talk.
fates_jaye: (cuteness!)

"Give it time, I'm sure it'll happen," she assures him.

"Aeryn told me I should just be polite to them and then they won't eat me," Luke said, nodding his head. "Think it'll work?"
fates_jaye: (normal)

"They're only polite to her because she's scary," she says. "You might have to use bribes."

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

[identity profile] tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com 2006-09-04 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"She didn't seem that scary," Luke said, giving Aeryn a cautious look. "And what kind of bribes would you suggest?"
fates_jaye: (at the bar)

"Mochas." Thanks to Evie, they're on the brain.

"What's a mocha?"
fates_jaye: (you get my suspicious face)

"It's a kind of coffee," she says, and blinks. "Why am I destined to introduce everyone to the ways of coffee?"

"I tried coffee," Luke said, nodding. "It's like caf."

"Regular coffee is boring. You need the good stuff, with sugar and caramel and syrup and like eight hundred extra calories your body will hate you for later."

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

"Okay..." Luke said, looking confused.

"Seriously. Take my advice on this one. Skip the soy and go straight for the whipped cream."

"Hello, Jaye!" Evie waved to her, heartened to see a familiar face. "You're taking this class too? But you're from the 21st Century."
fates_jaye: (at the bar)

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

[personal profile] fates_jaye 2006-09-04 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," she says. "I'm the TA. I'm kind of like a student expert."

"Oh, that *is* reassuring. I should hate to have to bother Mrs. Gilmore about every little thing," Evie said, looking happy. "Not that I shall be bothering you! I promise. Just, for important things. Possibly. Like tests. And papers."
fates_jaye: (snark)

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

[personal profile] fates_jaye 2006-09-04 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It should bother Jaye that she's not a nicer person. "Yeah, no problem, I'll help any way I can," she says.

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

"Excellent!" Evie bounced, then restrained herself. "Of course, if you want me to, to, I don't know.... I don't suppose there's any subjects of yours I can help with. But, I could possibly buy you tea? Or, or a mocha?"
fates_jaye: (imitating the V head tilt)

"White chocolate mochas are love," Jaye nods. "See, you're fitting in just fine."

Re: Chat/Mingle [9/4]

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2006-09-04 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Evie smiled happily at Jaye, and nodded very carefully. "White chocolate. Splendid! Thank you, Jaye."

She grins. "Anytime."
