Teacher's Lounge, Tuesday

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Someone looking into the lounge might think that Vala was being conscientious--she was writing industriously on a legal pad, cup of coffee and something called a doughnut by her side.

The first page was covered with notes from her lecture the day before--mostly about places to rob and possible accomplices. Not that Karal person, obviously, but her class had a number of nice prospects in that regard.

Each page under the top one had a name of one of the locations, the valuable items noted by the students, and any possible drawbacks, including security.

Cairo was still looking pretty tempting, though.

Hair still blue, Ares wandered into the lounge. He grinned when he caught sight of Vala. "Well, hey there."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," she smiled at him, leaning back in her chair, "Interesting hair color choice."

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

"I'm helping one of the other teachers set a trend." Ares checked Vala out subtly, well, except for the subtle part. "I'm Ares, God of War, and you would be?"

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Vala Mal Doran," she offered her hand, arching her back ever so subtlely so Ares could get a good look. This was a fine specimen of manhood, and, well, the hair almost worked. "New professor. God of War? How does one become a God of War?"

Now it would just be rude to ignore an effort like that. "I was born for it," Ares said without out a trace of shame, posing, totally posing. "And may I extend my warmest welcome to Fandom."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"You certainly may," she told him, "and thank you. It's a lovely place so far. Stunning scenery."

Why bother with subtle when you didn't have to?

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

"Glad I could be of service," Ares replied. "Not that my own view doesn't have much to recommend it."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Vala grinned, "And how do you feel about sightseeing?"

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

"I'm a fan," Ares said. "A big one."

John decided to take advantage of his newfound teacherly powers. That's why he was walking into the teacher's lounge.

Of course, seeing who was in there, made him stop cold and stare. "What the hell?"

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"You need to be more specific," she told him helpfully.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Where'd you come from?" John asked.

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"I don't see how that's any of your business." Especially since they were maybe, possibly, still looking for her.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He squinted at her.

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Now you're just being rude."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Am not!" Still squinting. "You look like my fianceé."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Vala squinted back at him. "I don't think you look familiar..."

After her class, Aly wandered into the lounge, looking for coffee. She only had a slight double-take at the 'Aeryn teaching? ...oh wait, she's older' situation then nodded. "Morning."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Hello," she greeted the newcomer, then guessed based on the hair, "And you must know Ares?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly grinned. "Whatever he said? All lies."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Vala grinned back and stretched, "Not all lies, I hope."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Chuckling, Aly poured herself a cup of coffee and took a seat. "You're probably right, him being a God and all. Just evasions and half-truths then."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"My favorite kind," Vala offered her half a doughnut, "I'm Vala, by the way. What's the real story behind the hair?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Aly took the doughnut with a nod of thanks. "I'm Aly. Apparently I'm supposed to be your 'teaching buddy'" There was a definite eyeroll at the term. "Well, now the hair's a trend. Before it was two people upset I got them married last week."

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"You got two people married against their will?" She asked, leaning forward, "And how did the blue hair help?"
