Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[shiroi_tiger]

Coffee and inventory sheets. Today was a day for coffee, and a day for inventory sheets, and nothing on God's green earth was going to pry Algren away from the first while he dutifully went over the second to make absolutely certain that... Well, that nothing had changed in the counts since the last time he'd done the Wellspring's inventory.

Someday, he might actually get sick of all of that counting. That day was probably very far off, so long as there was still coffee in the world to keep him going.

Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

Because while it will take nothing shy of a second zombie apocalypse to make him unhand his coffee, the inventory is pretty much just a time-killer.

It had been a while since Tyler bothered Nathan, so here he was in the shop. "Hey," he said. "How's sex ed?"

... so, maybe he thought it was a little hilarious Nathan was teaching that.

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

Okay, for Tyler, Nathan would put down his coffee.

"It's sex history," he corrected, about as good-natured as he could manage considering how badly he wanted to light things on fire every class period. "We had a student stand up and vehemently protest the course material the other day in class. That was an interesting change of pace."

Jim had dealt with it. Because Nathan had been too busy burying his face in his hand and trying to disappear at the time.

Tyler would be truly honored to rank above coffee and he wouldn't be annoyed if Nathan wanted to steal a few sips.

"Sex history, right," he repeated, mimicking the tone. "Oh, conscientious objector. Those are fun. I haven't had one of those in a while. Anybody get detention out of it?"

"Not so far as I'm aware," Nathan sighed, and he was indeed reaching for the coffee again. It wasn't quite a whiskey substitute, but it would have to do. "I'm hoping to speak to the student about it once she's had a chance to settle down, some. The verbal wrestling match that she and Jim had in class was something I wanted no part in."

It had gotten to a point where Kirk felt the need to point out that he wasn't interested in students. By about that point, Nathan was nearly ready to walk out of the room to beat his forehead into a wall a few times.

"At least they stuck to verbal fighting," Tyler said, listening. "I don't know, did she have a point?"

Sometimes students had those! It was odd.

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"I don't doubt she did," Nathan sighed. "Though there are far more effective ways of presenting points than by causing angry disturbances in the classroom."

He shook his head. "Tell me something happy, Tyler."

He'd take about anything! Really!

"I'm glad I invested in that coffee machine."

Cable's usual gaggle of child-and-dog were present, of course, with Algren's knees like a siren call for Tether.

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"It was a good investment," Algren agreed, quickly putting down his coffee before there could be an unfortunate dog-related incident for him to mop up after. "If nothing else, it makes for functional employees."

With enough caffeine in his system, he could count all of the unsold stock that Cable could possibly throw at him. True fact.

Re: Talk to Algren

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"And I do appreciate your functionality," he said, dryly, wrangling Jan on his way to the desk. "Survived the past couple of weekends?"

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"More or less." He was still standing here, after all. Or, more accurately, crouched over and giving the dog some attention. "I only had one visit from a parent, that weekend, and didn't run afoul of any alumni this last one. They've been quiet enough."

By 'quiet enough,' of course he meant that he hadn't been shot at or bitten by gremlins.

Re: Talk to Algren

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"No invasions," Cable agreed, "For however long it'll hold out."

Jan wobbled towards the desk, grabbing a firm hold of it to the best of her abilities. "Funny hair," she proclaimed, of Algren.

Cable's mouth pulled up. "Sometimes the island blesses us for a few weeks."

Karla was wandering through town. She was planning on going to Covent Gardens to find out who had sent those flowers, but she was taking a very long and roundabout path. Having a destination made her feel like she was accomplishing something, so clearly, she wasn't brooding. She was having a very thoughtful extended walk on her way to complete an errand. Perfectly logical and rational and had nothing at all to do with Ethics class, so there!

The downside of this was that passing by Wellspring, she saw another teacher from a very different class. One she kind of owed at least an explanation, if not an apology. She hesitated on the sidewalk for a moment, wondering if she could still sneak away.

But the moment passed and Karla reluctantly squared her shoulders and went to tap on the door. "Captain Algren?" she said.

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"Karla." Algren's eyebrow twitched upward a little has he took in the sight of the girl in the doorway. It wasn't often that students dropped by, after all. "We don't actually sell these guns, if that's what you're here for."

He was duty-bound to state such facts right up-front.

Re: Talk to Algren

[glacial_queen]

"Huh?" Karla edged inside and then glanced around Wellspring for the first time, looking a bit taken aback. "Well, if you don't sell them, then what're they here...never mind," she said, shaking her head. "I'm not here for the guns. I'm not good enough with one yet to own one."

Besides, Triela would probably be able to get her one when it was time anyway.

"I'm not here to purchase anything, I'm here to talk to you," she said hesitantly. "Though if you're busy, I could see you another time?"

Don't look so hopeful, Karla.

Re: Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"Trust me," he said, setting the inventory sheet down and crossing his arms over his chest, "I have all the time in the world. What did you need, Karla?"

Considering the events that had taken place during Tuesday's class, he could wager a guess, but he wasn't about to put words into her mouth, either.

Re: Talk to Algren

[glacial_queen]

"I wanted to talk to you about class, sir," she said softly. "During the discussion. I wanted to--to apologize for my outburst."

"I'm not apologizing for what I said," she added with a bit of vehemence, "Because I'm not sorry for that, I'm not! But--" and the fire was gone, once again leaving her apologetic and quiet, "--the way I said it left something to be desired. It was more of a disruption than it needed to be. I apologize for yelling in class."

Though not, necessarily, for yelling at Kirk.

As usual, only if you have advance permission from Cable.

OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

DAY. OFF. First one since last Wednesday.

SWEET FREEDOM. I shall spend it on my butt! YAY.

Re: OOC

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

YAY DAY OFF!

Re: OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

DAYS OFF. I HAVE ALMOST FORGOTTEN WHAT THOSE TASTED LIKE.

It was supposed to be two days off, but they asked me to cover another shift tomorrow. o.o

WHOEVER SAID THERE IS NO WORK ON THE EAST COAST IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THEIR GOURD. If you want hours, there's always McDonald's. *facepalm*

Re: OOC

[intraspective]

Heeeee. Hours are amazing things, but days off become crazy-shiny when you've got hours! XD

At least you shall of money! Even if you dream of days off! Hahahaha. (Though I am not sure you should be eating your days off; I hear they are bad for your digestion. Trufax.)

Re: OOC

[puppy_fair]

xD Any day which I do not rely on my McDiscount for dinner cannot be all that bad for my digestion.

Re: OOC

[intraspective]

XD This is true! I stand corrected, heeee.
