Assistants' Lounge 1/11

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Thursday morning before first period, Walter opened the TA's lounge and had to blow dust off the coffee maker before he could get some going. It seemed that no one had been in here in months.

Well, he couldn't really point fingers. He'd had a key since September and hadn't abused it. But he was now.

There was coffee and he decided he'd have his lunch there today as well.

Nadia rolled her eyes a little playfully. "Okay, point. But M really seems on the level. You should talk to her, some time."

Re: 6th Period

She'd seen he had a point. Huzzah! "I'd like that. I'm rather curious about her."

And on to other things. "So, my 'Tremble Foolish Mortals' teacher claims to be the Greek god of war."

Nadia frowned and thought. "You mean Ares? Huh. The guy on the radio the other night seemed to think he was Hades, Greek god of the underworld."

"It makes being Christian sort of..." Brain breaking? Thought provoking? "...interesting. I get the impression he has a problem with the arch-angel Michael?"

Re: 6th Period

"Wouldn't just having Aziraphale around do that? And if he's a greek god, I would think he wouldn't be a big fan of a Christian god."

"But the whole point of being a Christian is one God," Walter pointed out. "It's clearly spelled out in the Bible. He even gets pretty pissed off about it - you know, fire, brimstone, floods, those sorts of things."

He wasn't really interested in a theological discussion. He had a feeling he'd just file it away with other things that were brain breaky but didn't really change the way his day to day life operated - like living in the 21st century and how he made phone calls home to 1945.

"My other class turns out to be about magical artifacts. And their dangers." Now he knew what Arthur had chosen that one.

"Ooo. I think I met that teacher. She'd never even heard of Rambaldi."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Are you going to tell her about him? Or tell her more, since I assume you must have talked to her about him to know she hadn't heard of him."

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"I told her a little, but she didn't sound that interested. So I think I told her enough."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Considering what effect Rambaldi seemed to have on some, Walter wasn't disappointed in the least.

"I suppose Pippi and I will end up telling her about last summer. It's sort of what the class is about, after all." He just hated admitted to screwing things up so badly.

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. "But you'll probably learn how to avoid it happening again. Oh! You should ask about the stuff we found in the boat."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"That's right! You still have that, then? I could take it in to class or stop by her office during office hours."

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, it's in my closet. I've been kind of afraid to touch it. I don't want to turn into a chinchilla randomly, or anything.'

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"If you ever turn into a chinchilla, you must let me pet you and feed you things. I'd do the same for you if I turned into a squirrel, after all."

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"Of course I would. That's practically a rule around here, after all."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

She'd probably make such a cute chinchilla he might aww in public. How embarrassing.

"That's true. Although it might be some sort of wrong if you turned into a chinchilla and I turned into a squirrel at the same time. Is that 'the love that dare not speak its name?'"

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"We'd have to get Pippi and Pip to make sure we didn't get too . . . friendly, if that happened."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

That? Was a mental image he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to fully shake. At least it wasn't notafruitbat.

"And that Furrball and Pup don't try to eat us."

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, if we're anything like Pip was when he was a gosling, we'd be able to take Furrball and Pup."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Pup hasn't been able to get Mr. Neilson yet," Walter agreed. "And it's not for lack of trying.

"Do chinchillas climb?"

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"They jump. Rather high. They can probably climb, too."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Now there was a little fuzzy creature with Nadia's face jumping up and down in his head.

Beautiful.

"That almost makes me wish Miss Skeeter were around."

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh no, you don't get to turn me into a chinchilla on purpose! Not unless you're a chinchilla, too."

Re: 6th Period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

A chinchilla in a waistcoat joined the Nadia chinchilla in his head.

"Would I do something like that?"

Re: 6th Period

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh, you might. Just to see me all cute and furry."
