1. what's the policy for a missed final at Westerberg?
2. anyone going to the dance tomorrow know if they sell photos and how much they charge?
3. my calculator is still missing.

and this doesn't really fit on the list but for anyone who goes out to eat or orders in? tip the guy/girl/alien/whatever for fuck's sake.



[ open a c t i o n (multiple choice) ]

[ (A) Milling about the school still? You might run into Arthur. (B) On your way to the beach? You might run into Arthur. Either way he looks the same: rumpled with some scrapes to finesse the effect but largely unconcerned about it. If anything he seems distracted - emptying the minimal contents of his locker or walking in a daze or just leaning against the main office building while checking his phone. ]



[ooc: responses coming from odds annnnnd am linking his phone post for any alternative texting/prankphonecall/ic contact shenanigans as this curse affords such opportunity *_*]

1. I'm not sure, but it probably says in the exam regulations

[odds]

"makeups may vary depending on the instructor"

good call.

[modernboudica]

which one did you miss?

[meanstreetdog]

Hey, quit asking questions and beg for mercy from the teacher. That's about all you can do.

[odds]

teacher's on vacation a week early. substitute wasn't a lot of help.

but does begging mercy usually work?

[meanstreetdog]

Sometimes. It's worth a shot. Unless you wanna take summer school.

[ Clint shoves the other guy into his group of friends who appear to be backing away, and he bends to offer out a hand to the new kid. To some their gang is a nuisance, but they know the score with Clint, he doesn't take crap from anyone. ]

Thing you learn fast around here is not to pick up more trash than you can take hold of.

[odds]

Wasn't more than I could handle. [ That's a lie, mumbled as he blinks, picking up his glasses. He doesn't take the offered hand, shoving himself up and brushing his hands off on his jeans - which is stupid since his jeans are dirty too but force of habit. Eying Clint - he does know his name, a couple months being enough to just begin to let these things settle in if not to get settled in - he tilts his head. Then he glances away briefly, touching experimentally the bridge of his nose, the wet of a scrape or cut across the side of his face. Superficial stuff. Good. He lets his shoulders drop, some of the defensive tension gone but not all. ]

Thanks though...Clint, right?

[ He figures he owes the guy that much. Might have made the difference between glasses still intact, or a nose, so, 'thanks' it is, as he stares at him, wondering if he owes him now or something. Clint's reputation as a nice guy precedes him, but Arthur isn't sure if that means the same thing here as it did at his other school; he's still deciding. ]

[troubler]

If you say so. [ He shrugs, easy enough, and he doesn't seem fazed either way about the turning down of his hand, just lets it fall loosely back to his side. He goes with the flow of things, never a guy to really care too much about nitpicking, so taking things personally isn't something he does. Much.

It's hard to tell if he's surprised by the fact he knows his name or not, though, expression in default, nothing much there to see unless someone knows how to pick it apart. ] Clint, yeah, and you're the Arthur kid everyone got hyped about for a while.

[ He pays attention, it's whether he let on that he does that's the thing, and he removes some wipes from his bag. ] Here, been in a scrape or two of my own, I come prepared.

[brobeforehos]

Are you the guy or the alien in this case?

[odds]

the guy - unfortunately

[brobeforehos]

I will always tip the purveyors of my life source.

[boutant]

just take pictures with your phone

[odds]

was thinking of taking pictures for other people - X cheaper than whatever 'official' photos they're offering

most people'll probably do phones though i guess

[boutant]

oh that would be cool. idk if you'd have enough customers to make up for the cost of printing them & stuff tho. i mean most of us are pretty cheap

[immiscible]

the sr class paid for a photographer & a trellis, though they only have them for two hours. i think you get one print for free or six digital images

[odds]

not bad. is this off what they made from the double-deep-fried goat?

1/2

[immiscible]

i am still really surprised that no one was offended by that...

[immiscible]

but to answer your question, idk, i just read it on the flyer. why are you interested?

[thenormalsquint]

Depending on which one you missed, you can do some creative begging.

[odds]

Begging seems to be the top contender.

It's stupid. I know the material. I just got waylaid.
