Jonothon needed to get the hell out of dubstep and construction central for a bit. Just a little while. There was a ringing in his head from all of the noise at the Groovy Tunes that was making him more than a little twitchy, and that was saying a lot for somebody who tended to gauge successful coping methods by how loud the speakers were blaring Pearl Jam.

Still, he'd stepped outside, and now he was basking in the quiet as he took a stroll around the block. He'd spotted the flyers before the man who was hanging them, took the name and the phone number into consideration, had himself a vaguely amused moment, and then continued on his way. When he spotted Sam actually hanging the flyers, however, he couldn't help but speak up.

//Got your work cut out for you around here, mate.//

Also, hello, Sam.
throughaphase: (about to speak)

Of course Kitty had to peek at the flyers before actually saying hi. After all, there was a free icebreaker right there.

"Oh, did you ever pick a town that needs this," she said.
furnaceface: (Casual conversation)

Jono appreciated that, though he really didn't blame people for staring. Not the way he used to, at least.

//You've got to try,// he agreed with a little nod of his head, holding out his hand toward Sam. //Though I'd argue it's a job for masochists, I'm really not one to talk, I suppose. Jonothon Starsmore, current 'Coping With Change' teacher over at the school.//

He was simultaneously absolutely qualified, and possibly the least qualified person for the job, too.

"Group counseling?" Eliot said. Angrily. "Really?"

Oh no. He wouldn't benefit from something like this at all. Especially not that penultimate thing.
throughaphase: (doing just fine)

"And you'll probably hear it even more," Kitty told him. "You're one of the new guys, right?"

She guessed, since she'd already met Flash.
furnaceface: (Serious)

//For all of your coping needs,// Jono agreed, giving Sam's hand a firm shake. //My last class is tomorrow, though. Perhaps I'll send my students along your way if they're still having difficulty come semester's end. How's the island treating you so far?//
throughaphase: (half face)

"Small town. It makes it easier to figure out who's new when you know pretty much everybody," she explained. "I'm Kitty."

//Could be,// Jono replied with a nod of his head. //Though I really want to be able to tell you that you'll get used to the stairs...//

He glanced around at the copious steps around them, and then shrugged.

//They'll do wonders for the thighs, I suppose. All the better, around here.//
throughaphase: (hearing what you're saying)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2014-04-24 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's a word for it," she said, shaking his hand. "We get our excitement every now and then."
furnaceface: (Very disappointed in you)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2014-04-24 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
//Not quite,// Jono replied. //I am British and you don't want to let me near a computer for love or money, but Electroclash is far easier on the eyes.//

Yes. Yes, Jono was using his hands to mime an hourglass figure. So sue him.

//I'm more the graduate they couldn't get rid of. Kept finding my way back here whenever hell broke loose back home.//

"What do you want, a cookie?" Eliot grumped.

Yes, that was a verb, now.
throughaphase: (in all seriousness)

Just wait, Sam.

"So this is what you're doing while you're here?" Kitty asked, nodding her head towards the poster.
furnaceface: (Orly?)

//Lord knows that's easy enough to pay around here. Hell, I had a man practically throw the deed to his building at me one day when he took off running. Pressure must've gotten to him, poor bloke.//

Fandom had a bit of that. A smidgen. A touch.
