Free Period for Teachers -- Friday, October 14th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

For once, Sarah is actually reading a book. However, anybody who passed by would notice it's a well-worn copy of The Anarchist Cookbook.

Today's catered lunch is sushi. Eat all you want.

[It takes a moment for this to sink in. Unfortunately, he's in the middle of a mouthful of tea when it does. There is spittake.] He WHAT?!

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

He was crazy...raving. He hit Lindsey, and then he turned on me. He broke my vase of flowers you gave me...then he tried to stab me in the heart.

[She calmly sips some tea]

He's going to be hurting when he wakes up.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He rubs his face, then takes her free hand and squeezes it.] Oh dear god...I'm glad you're badass at fighting all right, and I hope your student is as well...and Jack... Do you think he ran into the gremlins?


((FYI to anyone watching: This may provoke the encounter that's been building up between Jack and Ten. Stay tuned--Harkness-mun, feel free to IM me.))

I don't know what was wrong with him. He said I was trying to steal him, bit by bit...eyes and toes and bones. Then he said because he'd told me, he had to kill me. Then he sang me a little song...and...I don't think that "red lily" will ever have the same meaning for me again. [shudders]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

That...isn't Jack, then. [He strokes her hand with his thumb.] It sounds like he's gone mad. Literally, gone mad.

[She takes a bite of shrimp with ginger again]

Right now he's litteraly gone unconcious. When he wakes up, I'll go see him...find out what happened. I hope Lisa and Dr. House can help him. [She smiles wickedly] Maybe give him some ice for his...[ahem]...injuries.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

You are good. [slightly wicked grin, through his concern]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I didn't really want to hurt him you know...he kind of put me in a position where I had no other choice. [sighs] I'm glad I used to teach that class in L.A.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[A long sigh from him.] Me too.

He and I were needing to have a talk, anyhow.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Ten...[looks at him] I don't need you to...

I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. You don't have to talk to him.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He looks back at her, serious.] I know you can. It's about me, unable to get over the past him. The one I knew. And this new him's behaviour...this is the last straw.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Well, all right. But if he's still like he was today...you won't get far. He's insane.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

I'm betting he won't be for long.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Why not? [pops another Cali roll in whole]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He watches her eat, slightly amused.] Because his illness came on quickly. I'm guessing it'll leave as quickly as it came.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Chews, mumbling Mmm-hmm again. She swallows and sips her tea.]

I'm going to get out of here. If Bristow wants to talk to me, have him call my cell. I'll be at home. I need some time alone.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[squints at her] Bristow? Sounds like fun. I'll pass on the word. [He kisses her cheek.] Do you want me to make you dinner, later?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

That would be really nice. Nothing you have to beat into submission first, though. OK?

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He pretends to be sad.] But that's the best bit...

No worries, I'll come up with something quick and gorgeous.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Smiles] Brilliant...[winks and leans in to kiss him]...I'll see you later then.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He kisses her back--not too much, because they're in public, but with a touch of passion to it.] Ta, dear.
