Teacher's Lounge [Tuesday, October 3, all day]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh gave Biff a friendly wave, then walked into the teacher's lounge with two sheets of paper--one for teachers to sign up as chaperones for the dance on Friday night and another for them to sign up to sit in the dunk tank or agree to get pies thrown at them.

Given the lack of sports teams at the moment, Josh was feeling pretty good about his odds of remaining pie-free.

Josh was very, very dumb sometimes.

He tacked the two lists onto the bulletin board, left out bribes in the form of coffee and doughnuts, then flipped the television to CNN and tried to catch up on the latest Congressional scandal.

Aly wandered in after her class, fiddling with papers still.

Josh grinned and waved. "Hi, you!"

Aly grinned back. "Hi! How are you and the..." she peered at the television "governing body of some sort doing?"

Josh pointed. "That is the House of Representatives," he said. "Like working with the students here, only the House has less emotional maturity."

"Indeed? And they're the reason voting makes you so excited?" she asked.

"The thought of a lot of them being out of jobs in 34 days fills me with an unholy sort of glee, yes," Josh replied.

Aly grinned at him. "That bad are they?"

Josh jerked his head towards the television. "This particular specimen has been making advances towards a 16-year-old page. Hanging's too good for him."

Aly tapped her fingers against the beads of her necklace. "Is there anything that can be done about that? Or is extra-legal action frowned upon here?"

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"What kind of extra-legal?" Josh asked, raising an eyebrow.

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

"Depends honestly," Aly replied. "If he were too influential to be tampered with too much, something rather subtle. A basket of rats left in his room while he's sleeping. Or something to scare him that his wife is plotting against him if he doesn't stop."

"He wasn't married," Josh said thoughtfully, "and he's had to resign in disgrace." He gave Aly a small smile. "Can I get a favor in six months or so when this guy thinks everyone's forgotten about him?"

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Aly replied with a nod. "Though...if he's not married perhaps we can have even more fun then..."

"Hello!" Abby waved her cup at Aly in greeting.

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Abby!" Aly said with a wave back. "I've not seen you in...quite possibly forever."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"I know. I'm a horrible person!" Abby grinned. "Or we're both horrible people for finding each other."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I think the latter is probably true," Aly laughed. "Especially given that we live in the same building and all."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Yup. Horrible, horrible people." Abby laughed. "I say we forgive ourselves and drown our horribleness in chocolate and mischief."

"Sadly, I'm out of chocolate."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly grinned. "I can't imagine being out of mischief though. Obviously that needs to be the remedy."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Obviously." Abby took a long sip from her cup as she thought. "Any ideas?"

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"It depends on who exactly is the recipient of said mischief," Aly replied, playing with the beads of her necklace.

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"I think we need equal opportunity mischief that's both mischiefy and fun." Abby nodded. "We need more fun teacher things."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly grinned. "We do. What about hallway bowling?"

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Fun, mischief and cool shoes." Abby nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Re: General hanging-out in the lounge-ness

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I suppose the question is when exactly would we do this?" she replied.
