Staff Meeting, Friday (After Classes) [10/31]

The teacher's lounge was set up in much the same manner as usual for the faculty meeting, except that there was a variety of candy out as well, in keeping with the theme of the day. If nothing else, Zoe figured chocolate and sugar were well-deserved by those who continued to survive working here.

Enjoy the spread of juice, coffee, tea, pie, baked goods, and candy, and try not to get a sugar rush.

Mike grabbed a cup of coffee and nibbled on candy.

Of course Deadpool was there. Being all... vice principaly. He wasn't sure what that meant, but he was.

He exuded it.

Or maybe he just hadn't had enough coffee yet...

Helping himself to some coffee and pie, Minsc proved himself surprisingly resourceful in the culture of this world. Not because he was dressed himself, but because had 'Professor' Boo clearly dressed up in a pair of glasses and a little smoking jacket, with those patches at the elbow.

Going for the healthy juice option meant Mohinder felt no guilt at taking candy.

Tyler was there, still in the rhino costume.

It was surprisingly comfy!

Minsc couldn't help tilting his head slightly at the giant pink horned animal costume. Even for him, that was just bizarre.

Tyler nodded the costume head in a salute. "Hey."

Minsc nodded back. "Hello!" he said. "That is...quite the piece of costuming, I must say! Do such creatures naturally come in as vibrant of colours in this world?"

"They're normally kind of muddy gray," Tyler admitted, shrugging. "This is based on a kid's TV host. I think it's supposed to be cuddly or some shit like that."

"...I see," Minsc said, although he clearly didn't, eying the yellow horn on the costume and thinking that it looked about as cuddle as a mountain bear.

Which were not, for the record, cuddly at all.

"... I wanted to be a zombie," Tyler explained, a little lamely. "Shop sent the wrong costume."

That got a bit of a grin out of Minsc. "Whoops."

Miss Bennet was trying very hard not to stare at her landlord.

Miss Bennet was failing at such.

Wordlessly, Tyler stared back

Miss Bennet was going to regret asking this. Except ... it was possible that the island had gone mad again, and he would appreciate it if and when he were himself again. Wouldn't he? She would certainly have liked to have been locked in a closet while she was declaring herself to be one of the undead.

(Never mind that her closet had been in use, holding victims' bodies.)

"Are you feeling well?" she asked.

"Peachy," Tyler said with a grin as he reached for the coffee. "A little warm. How come?"

"I was, I confess, somewhat curious as to why you chose this morning to dress yourself as a large, fuzzy, pink animal," Eliza said. Wondering for a moment if perhaps she was having a particularly odd dream.

A grin played across Tyler's face as he considered keeping the joke going for a moment longer by pretending to find nothing at all odd about his outfit. In the end, and because it was Eliza, he told the truth. "It's a Halloween costume," he explained. "A kid's TV host. The shop sent the wrong thing and I decided to go with it."

"Costume?" Eliza said. A few moments later, she burst out laughing. "Oh, thank heavens, I thought perhaps everyone had gone mad again."

She had notte Enjoyed her Tyme as a Vampyree.

"Nope, I'm no crazier than usual," Tyler grinned.

Sam blinked when she spotted Tyler. "That's a very different look for you."

"Think it catches me at my best?" he asked, almost flirting. "Costume shop sent the wrong thing. I decided to play with my students' heads a little."

A beat. "To be honest, taking it off won't suck. It's kind of itchy."

"I think it's something I never, ever expected to see you wearing, not that it's terrible," she conceded, "Need help? I can probably manage the zipper."

"I think it's terrible," Tyler conceded as he thought about the offer. "Actually, I can get the head, but if you wanna unzip the back at the end of the meeting, that would be really helpful. I have sweats on underneath."

"I can definitely do that. How'd your students take it?"

"One of them thought it was cute, but I think she'd think anything furry was. The others looked at me like I'd lost it. But they got to make peanut brittle, so...." he shrugged. "I think it evened out."

"How's physics?"

"Not making peanut brittle," she grumped. "Last week was about light, and most of them managed to stay awake."

"You can always throw things if they go to sleep," Tyler advised. "Or hit the desk and see if they jump."

"If I was in your class, I could blow something up."

"I could do that," Tyl;r mused. "Build some small charges that would detonate before they got to the students -- lot of noise, not much else." A beat. "I have a new project."

"I'm so happy I could help." She paused and considered. "Actually, I'm not doing anything tomorrow, if you want to use the science lab instead of your apartment."

"House," Tyler corrected absently. "Either way, that sounds like a good idea. I'll stop in."

Nathan got himself some coffee and candy. Hey, if it had peanut butter in it he was going to call it healthy.

If anyone tried to scold her, Ghanima was going to claim that chocolate was a perfectly viable breakfast food on Dune, and there was no one here who would know otherwise.

Anakin was drinking black coffee.

He wasn't much for sugar himself.

Miss Bennet was enjoying her tea and pastry. A bit curious about the candy, but she declined it.

Sam grabbed some coffee and a selection of candy, wondering if an atomic fireball would dissolve properly in her cup and make cinnamon-sugared coffee, or if it would just make it sludgy.

She dropped it in, then peered into the cup, watching her new experiment.

"Since so many people had visitors last week, I figured postponing the meeting to this week would be appreciated," Zoe said. "I don't have any big business to get into, except to make sure that everyone's doing all right. Homecoming was a success, so thank you all for that. Other than that, I hope no one's having issues with anything, and if you are, please let me know."

"If anyone needs something at Ikea, I'm making a run over to the island this weekend," Anakin offered.

It was totally related to the previous weekend, too. Sigh.

"What is this Ikea you speak of?" Minsc had to ask, finding the name oddly intriguing.

"Swedish furniture store," Anakin said, "that also sells meatballs. It's great."

"Ooh!" Minsc bounced a little on his toes, which was pretty interesting for a man of his size. "Get me some of those meatballs."

For other points of discussion.

Just in case it's needed!

If anyone would like to talk to Zoe, this is the place to do so.

Happy Halloween!
