Sidekick Tryouts, just outside the dorms
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 12:14 pmHello there, prospective do-gooders! I am Professor Tick, and my side needs kicking! Err, that is, I need a sidekick. I could always use a hand grading things and running my class, but that's what a TA is for. You'll be helping me with that and assisting me in my other work.
You'll be expected to help me on my patrols [OOC: Patrols are assumed to happen at all hours of the day. If Tick's not around, he's patrolling, coincidentally being in exactly the places where stuff isn't happening. Sidekick is not expected to join him on these patrols, but it would be nice if they scheduled his routes or something. Not that he'd follow that. He goes where Justice leads him.]. You'll get a snazzy costume courtesy of Professor Beeblebrox's class. You'll get a spiffy super name! And you may even get some extra perks if SCIENCE. WILL. JUST. WORK. WITH ME!!!
Anyway, the tryouts will consist of five tests. At the end of the day, a new sidekick will be chosen! Keen!
Good luck to everyone!
( Test 1 behind the cut. )

406: Rude awakening. On all counts
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 12:42 pmAngelus slept.
In his dreams he was in the sunlight. Buffy was by his side and he was... human, which just had to be wrong. Yet in the moment as he held her small hand in his it didn't matter.
They were talking. She called him Angel, and on her hand was a wedding ring that matched his own.
She was pregnant. That's what they were talking about. They were laughing and joking about names, and paint color for the baby room. He sang soft, off-key lullabies to the unborn child. He whispered to it about how he would love and care for it until the day he died.
It was their lives, together. Everything he could have ever wanted. An entire world, so absolutely per...
A loud noise distracted him. At first he thought it was a car crash. He went to grab Buffy, to keep her safe, but then the lights went out. He couldn't see. Or he could see but it wasn't Buffy, it was Dru. She was holding a squid in her arms and laughing at him, singing a mocking refrain of the same lullabye he'd just been singing and the sound of it made him dizzy. Made him want to throw up. Something was wrong, very wrong. The entire world was out of control and Buffy was disappearing, her and the child turning to dust right in his hands. He wanted to cry out, to grab on to her and hold her so that she couldn't escape but it was impossible. She screamed, tears streaming down her face as her body filled with pain and the thought of it lanced right through him and -
- and -
And he started laughing. Because oh yes, Buffy was dying and the world was ending and if you didn't find that God damn funny and just about the most perfect happiness you could ever come across then what in the hell was wrong with you?
Angelus woke up, laughing hysterically as though he'd just heard the best joke in all the world. He sat up, feeling chipper. Upbeat. Downright cheerful. There was no pesky soul bothering him, no conscience that had to be his guide, and each day brought new opportunities for destruction, mayhem, and -
And then he remembered the events of the day before.
Loudly, certainly loud enough for the entire fourth floor to hear him, he shouted "SON OF A BITCH!"
Angelus grabbed his things and stormed out of the room. It was entirely possible that there wasn't enough bleach and holy water in the world to scrub the memory of being - gag - soul boy for a day out of his system, but he wasn't going to find that out for lack of trying.
Woe to anyone who got in his way.
[ooc: going to be on and off all day today, but I believe
_wespryce wanted first crack at him. So if his player's around, hop in. If not, assume Angelus stomped off to go sulk brood scrub himself down with steel wool]

Expedition
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 04:13 pmEdward glances around the common room, wondering if anyone else will show up. They were going to venture out into the town to see if the Perkolater still existed because, man. Coffee. Most important thing in life. Besides sleep.

The second-floor common room...
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 07:03 pmRiver, with a stack of DVDs in her hand, slips into the common room. Might as well get some familiarity with these 80s movies before she shows them the night after tomorrow, right? She glances at the titles in her hand, then selects one, pops it into the player, and settles into a chair with the remote.
Real Genius, hmmm?
She hits play, and the strains of Carmen McRae singing fill the room.
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me! ...

Fifth Floor Drama
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 08:23 pm*Elizabeth had seen some strange things, but the zombie aftermath was too much, and she had to get out of her room. She left quietly, watching
miss_thomasina not even bat an eye as she closed the door behind her. She found a comfortable couch in the fifth floor lounge and pulled out a book that had absolutely nothing to do with homework or zombies alike.*
