fandomhigh | Study Hall - Monday, September 19th

Welcome to the study hall for Monday.

I spent yesterday in my tower room with a bottle of Captain Morgan and a carton of cigarettes and I haven't held a gun in twenty-four hours. Needless to say, I am not in the best of fuckin' moods, and the first student to try anything is getting detention. Hell, the first teacher to try anything with me may get detention.

*glares at students across the study hall teacher's desk, props her booted feet on the corner of the desk, and flashes a dirty look to everybody who walks past*

Your announcements for today:

-- As some of you who didn't already know may have found out this weekend, we do have werewolves on campus. The curfew is there for a reason, people. And on the nights of the full moon, you WILL be in your dorm rooms by the time the moon rises. No exceptions.

-- For anyone who may have missed it, homecoming's coming up soon. Also,

fandomhitunes has arrived.

-- The door of locker 327 is stuck open and won't fucking shut. There's your warning.

-- The cafeteria will be serving any meal you ask for today on request, but please keep in mind that the cafeteria workers think someone poured a potion or something into one of the vats, and since they were pretty sure it wasn't hazardous, they went and started serving anyway. I really have to fire those fucking bastards sooner or later.

Jesus, I need a gun. *squirms*

Maybe if I just hold a water pistol, it'll take the edge off ...

"I've debated a number of things... mock trials, with my da... granddad and I've seen enough of the senate to know how not to do it.

And there's even just the debating with the parents about curfew." She laughs.

"Hmmmm. Curfew." Parker starts scribbling on her ubiquitous pad of paper again. "Which brings up our platform: what are we going to promise the student body, if you two win? Aside from your bodies between us and the administration, I mean. Something tangible. What are the changes that need to be made around here? What can you actually deliver on, that the JA crowd can't?" She taps her pad with her pen. "That may require more thought. Which reminds me... I need to get an election committee together. Either of you know anyone who's got time on their hands?"

"The things that really seem to get most of the students going are the food, and the new weapons control. I guess we could probably do something about the food... after all, the teachers that live in would probably back us up, as they have to eat it too. The weapons would be harder, and we might not want to associate ourselves with it, as there are some students who welcome the change.

Election committee... election committee. I'll ask around at those I trust, and see if they've got the time, or can suggest someone who does. Off the top of my head... Cally, perhaps?"

"Cally. Cally, Cally... oh, right. Yes, she might be good. She knows a lot of people. And she's good in a crunch."

"I think you've nailed a good issue there-- the food *is* one of the drawbacks to this place. Maybe at least introducing an alternative source, a concession or a cheap take-out service. We'll have to research to see how difficult that would be."

*more scribbling, then Parker turns to listen to Cuddy*

I'll probably see her when I go back to the dorms, so I'll ask her then, if you like?

We'll probably need to get in with some of the townies. Maybe the owner of Luke's diner? Isn't he Rory's step-dad? We could talk to her, perhaps?

"Oh, that's not bad. Not bad at all. Maybe check in with the Perkulator too; I know they deliver coffee, but muffins or anything else they've got, at least for breakfast, can't hurt."

Liz nods. "Maybe we could see about personal kitchenettes in the dorm? Nothing fancy... maybe fridges, a microwave... We could also see about grills outside for the summer. I know Jack - O'Neill - spoke to Professor Jerusulum about it, but he had so many other requests that I think the kitchens might have got lost amongst it.

"I'll see who I can pull together. I agree with Lizzie that we should probably stay away from the weapons issue - too decisive, and out of our hands. Do we have any idea what their strategy is?"

Parker looks sour. "None. Aside from get at least one of their guys in every office, and hey, it's not a bad strategy. I think we can counter it by limiting our campaign efforts to you too-- less diffusion-- and also by maybe pointing out that domination of the council by one clique can't be good for the rest of the Student Body."

Parker narrows her eyes. "I might attend a meeting of the JA, since they're looking for new members, in order to get a feel for what they're up to-- but I don't expect anything to come of it except for a better idea of the personalities involved. The only ones I've interacted with personally are Angelus and Malfoy; I don't know anything about Belthazor personally, and the rumors about Faith are getting too wild to take seriously."

My friend in the clinic has partied with Faith - I don't think she is going to be a major problem. I don't even think we'll need to attack her character, she'll do enough of that on her own, and I think keeping it above-the-belt for now is better for several reasons. Plus, how much damage can a Secretary do? Write bad minutes at a meeting?

I'd say take care of yourself at that meeting, but I have the feeling I don't need to worry about you *winks*
