Teacher's Lounge, Wednesday Morning

[atreideslioness]

The students were not the only ones that needed a break from the stress of finals and graduation, and so Ghanima set herself up in the teacher's lounge, large boxes of moddable goodies from JGoB on the tables. Her work for the semester was done, but that didn't mean she couldn't share.

Teachers needed sugar too, darn it.

[Open for those of the educational-persuasion!]

Sometimes, Tyler really was an adolescent boy with a homng beacon for free food.

... or, possibly, he was still cleaning out his office. The dead flower petals from Ino's gift got everywhere. Anyhow, he was in the lounge.

"You're feeding us now, Ghanima?" he asked, picking up a muffin and inspecting it as if it might bite.

[atreideslioness]

"Actually, they're filled with mind-altering chemicals in revenge for the drug assembly," she deadpanned, not looking up from her book. "Don't tell, it's a surprise."

[tyler_gone]

"And that's supposed to discourage me from eating it," Tyler said, equally deadpan as he started peeling off the paper. "I dunno, I think Principal Zoe's coochi-coo at the last staff meeting was a pretty good revenge."

He took a seat near Ghamina, resting his feet on the omgmodded table. "What are you reading?"

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima flipped it up to show him the cover. "For my next class," she answered with a smile. "Knowing how to do it myself is one thing, explaining it to a Danger Shop full of teenagers is another."

[tyler_gone]

"Rock climbing," Tyler read. "Nice class topic, but I can see where you're a little shy about the improv on it."

Of course, this was coming from the man who saw nothing wrong with teaching 14-year-olds to make nitroglycerin, but that was Tyler.

[atreideslioness]

"I tend to favor the more extreme version myself," Ghanima laughed. "Harnesses are boring. But if we're going to cover mountaineering for a day, I may as well know all the technical terms to go with it."

[tyler_gone]

"I've done a little city rappelling, but never without safety equipment," Tyler admitted with a little shrug. "You're teaching extreme sports?"

Oh, like Deadpool could turn that down!

"Oooo! This one has sprinkles!"

[atreideslioness]

"Lots of them have sprinkles," Ghanima teased gently. "Think you can manage to eat them all?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Is that a challenge, good lady?"

[atreideslioness]

"Professional interest," she clarified. "If you can eat them all, then next time I know to order more with sprinkles, so the rest of us get some too."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's not nearly as fun," Deadpool lamented. "So! How are things? I ask because I think I'm supposed to. VP and all."

And now he was picking the sprinkles off. Yeeeaaah.

[atreideslioness]

"Are you eating my sprinkles or maiming them?" Ghanima asked, disgruntled. "I can make it a challenge, if that will keep you from vivisecting the poor things."

"And things are well. I've finished with classes until summer term starts, so I thought I'd come gloat over all those that are still trying to write their tests."

Taking a break from his reading, Indiana was happy to find a bevy of baked goods waiting for him in the lounge.

"To what do we owe the pleasure?" he asked pouring himself a cup of coffee.

[atreideslioness]

"The pleasure of having fresh blood to warp and twist in a few weeks," Ghanima laughed. "I'm now taking bets on how long it takes to break the incoming students."

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

That got a chuckle. "Sure. Unless of course they turn it around and break us," he said looking through the bagels.

[atreideslioness]

"If they break us, then I'll buy them pastries," Ghanima stated firmly. "Until then, this is a staff-only party."

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

"You want to encourage the students to break us?" Indy asked. "I think most of the students would do that now for half a doughnut."

[atreideslioness]

"Considering you've already survived at least one invasion? Any student that actually managed to traumatize us would have to be highly talented," Ghanima pointed out. "You're the librarian. Just feed any potential troublemakers to those books of yours."

Oh, look, more distraction.

Delicious distraction!

"Boo, if you eat any more of those donuts, they are going to go straight to your thighs."

[atreideslioness]

"His thighs and his ears," Ghanima called out. "Best keep him away from the sprinkles, Sir Minsc."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Good idea," Minsc agreed, promptly picking the rodent up from the table by the scruff of his neck, which caused a bit of squeaking and flailing of paws, but Minsc calmed such protestations with a nice bit of carrot from his pocket. He settled both hamster and vegetable on his shoulder and gave the other teacher a small smile. "And how does the day find you today, Lady Ghanima?"

[atreideslioness]

"It finds me well, so far," she answered, lifting her coffee in a salute. "Hence the treats. I felt the need to share my good mood with my fellow staff members."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Well," Minsc chuckled a little, lifting his back, "your fellow staff members and their hamsters thank you. Are you finished yet, with the semester?"

[atreideslioness]

"I am," Ghanima confessed. "I'll hold office hours on Friday, if anyone has any questions about how their finals went, but my class finished on Monday."

"And yourself? Have you given your students their final exams yet?"
