Teacher's Lounge, After First Period, Wednesday [ 05/13 ].

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

It wasn't so much that Daisy had just grossly overestimated how much five teenagers could eat, really. It was just that she'd really gotten into a thing about it all last night when she was preparing for the class, and then rather hoped her class consisted of five miraculously ravenous teenagers. Unfortunately, it did not, they all seemed to have very normal, modest appetites, so there was a considerable amount of leftover...and healthy...goodies.

Well, she figured, teachers needed to eat as much as kids did, so once class wrapped up and she had some time to wait before Loki's did too to go bug him about how it went, she'd go and just leave them all in the lounge with a little sign imploring them to eat up, and, if they didn't, she was going to start thinking there was something wrong with the world if a person had trouble getting others to eat free food.

And of course where there was coffee there was also a Gibbs zooming into the room to get said coffee.

"Morning," he said popping off the lid of his coffee cup.

"Morning!" Daisy greeted him brightly back, probably far too brightly for this early in the morning. "Help yourself to food if you're hungry," or missed the sign asking the same thing. "I've made loads..."

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

"Already ate," Gibbs said eying the food. "Coffee is just fine. What's all this for anyway?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"My workshop," Daisy said. "I made a bit much for the whole of five students that I've got. They were meant to be an incitement to prove that healthy snacks could still be good...Might have been a bit too early for some, but I did get some shipped off to a boyfriend, I think, so I consider it a success."

And, realizing that she'd babbled quite nicely there, she also offered a belated, "I'm Daisy, by the way."

"Gibbs," he replied as he poured his coffee. "So you're the home economics teacher?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, bless, no," Daisy said, laughing, and thinking that would be quite possibly the worst home ec class imaginable. "No, I'm not much of a teacher at all. Just picked up a little workshop on healthy eating this summer, more as a civil service than anything else."

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

"Well that's mighty good of you," Gibbs said slapping the lid to his cup back on and taking a sip. "What do you do normally then?"

"Is that free food I smell?" Mitchell asked, sidling into the lounge with a friendly expression on his face.

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Sure is," said Daisy, giving him a smile. "Help yourself; there's definitely more than enough around."

[chosehumanity]

"Brilliant," Mitchell said, going for the spread with some good-natured, cool enthusiasm. Sharing food - also a human trait around here, it seemed. "You're one of the teachers as well?" he asked, as he helped himself, and tried to identify her accent.

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"For the summer, anyway," she said, offering out a hand and sounding very, well...British. "Daisy Day. Who might you be?"

[chosehumanity]

There were a lot of variations of British, though; Mitchell himself was Irish with a hint of Bristol that had crept in over the years. He took her hand with a smile, and shook it. "I'm Mitchell," he said, "Nice to meet you. I'll be teaching kids about television."

Very, very London, as it were, then shush, ignorant American mun here. "Not something I'd imagine too many kids need help being taught about," she noted with a smile. "But I'd imagine you've higher numbers than I've got. I had the mad notion to try and teach them about healthy eating."

Tim paused a moment before stepping across the threshhold. He was still kinda feeling weird about the whole teacher thing.

"Wow this is like finally being old enough to go into that one room in the house that kids aren't allowed into."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy arched a little bit of an eyebrow at that. "Is it?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Last time I was at this school I was a student. It was off limits, this room."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I see! Well, congratulations on your upgrade."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks very much. I'm Tim Desmond. I'm running the storytelling workshop."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Daisy Day," she nodded. "Nice to meet you, Tim. I've got the healthy diet one."

[likeabeachball.livejournal.com]

"Food!" Vince exclaimed, having wandered his way in. "Brilliant."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy couldn't help smiling at that. "And there's loads of it," she said. "Please it it. The more you all do, the less I will."

[likeabeachball.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's just silly," Vince said. "A pretty girl like you could hardly eat all this. You'd get bloated like a balloon."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'd hope it'd take a lot more than just this to get to balloon status."

[likeabeachball.livejournal.com]

"Oh, not like a full ballon. Like a balloon on a stick," Vince said. "You know, like you get at carnivals and village fetes."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, of course," said Daisy. "One of those; what was I thinking? I must just be having a silly day."

"And I'm Daisy Day," she offered out a hand. "Who might you be?"
