New Game: SFA/HSAU: Finals!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

It's time for something... light. Something... refreshing.

For the past year, Roger Korby and Andrea Sherrison have been building an android, Norm. And Norm has been, true to his name... normal.

But things are starting to go wrong. Andrea has been moved into the empty bed in Caz and Jan's room (oh, did I not mention that? WELL. It's there. Not a convenient plot device at all) and when Roger's rommmate dropped out, he and McCoy decided to move in together.

Now they're both starting to act weird. Of course, no one is normal, it's SFA and it's finals. But there's something seriously wrong, and our heroes are going to have to find out what.

Did I mention that the top four students in each class get to go on a special training exercise? Well, they do. And competition is hot.

That's cause he and Mia are both adults and both understand that sometimes work gets in the way of prompt answers.

You know, my mom is going to take you shopping and show you all the places I did embarrassing things and all the pictures of me doing those embarrassing things. And then tell you how pretty you are. Why do I get shot again?

Well it's pissing me off and if they don't fix it during our last rehearsal- the one Monday, before they play- we're going to have a shouting match. This might be graded on an idividual basis, but if they're prohibiting me from doing a decent job, my grade is on the line.

Except it wasn't a guy- like I said, the boys (there are two of them, and they're sweethearts who I dicovered yesterday also like Pokemon ♥) are really nice and know their parts, even if one of them doesn't have all of his lines memorized (because he has half the lines in the play). It's just the girls who are being catty and dickish.

Nope, just the play. Other than that the semester is over. But I am going to talk to them, and at least try to communicate my problem. It's getting ridiculous, and everyone's started to get complacent cause Professor Theatre said that we had put more work into the play than any group he's ever had. That doesn't mean that we've put enough, it just means we're doing a good job, you know?

Because you are a boy with a female parent and I am a girl with a male parent. It makes all the difference. At least you aren't a mama's boy. Then she might try to upstage me at my own wedding, like in that movie. But I am a daddy's girl, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Jeez. That would be frustrating for me, too.

Well. Theatre girls. They're... I hate them.

Don't let the bastards grind you down. Who cares if they like you - you have a job to get down, and if they're going to get in the way, fuck 'em.

I think a nice blazing row might clear the air, don't you? Then everyone can say what they think and get all their frustrations out and then we can have a chance to relax a bit before we go on.

They are bitches. :[ But I will miss the boys. One of them comes into DQ with his friends all the time, so I'll see him enough. The other one supposedly comes through the drive, but I don't notice him. I'm going to see if I can persuade them to take Beginning Acting with me next Spring, if Professor Theatre can persuade the people in charge to let him teach it again. They are quite fun to work with.

I don't want them to like me- I just want us to be able to act professionally towards each other enough to do a good job.

But I don't WANNA be shot.

My mom is way too low-key to upstage anyone. You're going to love her.

You and your dad talk about your dance song?

You can't have a blazing row and be professional, hon. If they won't listen to you, talk to the boys and see if they can make the suggestion in a way that gets listened to?

I love working with good people. :)

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

I love that song. It always makes me cry. :( If I were inclined to get married, it would be the one I always use for my dance with Daddy.

Now, see, I'm already bawling and it's only on the first verse. (Daddy-daughter relationships in fiction is always something that gets to me.)

I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm sure I will. Is she very wonderful?

We're going to discuss it over Christmas. I have a thought of something I'd like but he might not want to...

The other option I was thinking of was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5UV4VWCSk&NR=1
But that's my song for me and my daddy.

Well, clearly we can only do one at a time, but having a blazing row might push us toward being professional. Oh, I don't know. Maybe they're all getting antsy because the semester is technically over but we still keep having to take time out of our day to come work on this.

I know! And they're always acting so shippy together for laughs, with all their other boyfriends too. Yesterday, "Ramon" had a guy from another group sitting on his lap and "Dave" hit him for it and then shoved him off and acted all jealous. It was so cute~♥ I think, if I'd known what sweethearts they were before, I'd have played along when they were joking that they had saved me a spot between them *eyebrow waggle*. It would have been great fun to play around with them and feel included- they don't joke with the other girls like that, perhaps for fear of being considered womanizers. Or something.

What if you batted those lashes of your at him and asked him not to?

She's the best. It hurt her, it really did, when dad died. She's never really been the same person. But she never stood in my way, even though she didn't want me to go Fleet. When the worst happened, her door was always open, and she always had a cup of cocoa and hug.

I guess you'll need something talk about while he mounts my head on the wall.

Well, I trust your judgment, but it's a tough spot no matter what you choose.

Aw, cute.

Well, I guess that might work.

She sounds wonderful. I wish my ma could be there. I think they'd have gotten on well.

Exactly.

I know~ I had such wonderful classmates in all my classes this semester, I really will miss them. And my professors, but them no as much because I'm taking the second brit-lit class and another history class, so that's two of them that I'll have again, and I'm going to take Awesome Professor's class (I've already told him; when they came into work last weekend he actually initiated a conversation with me♥) and, then in the spring I'll take Professor Theatre for Intro Acting if he teaches is. You see, that's the brilliant thing about a small college, you only have so many teachers to choose from, and except for Mrs. Humanities (she's the one that told me that it was selfish not to want kids last semester) they all seem quite wonderful.

Are you going to?

I bet they would've. I wish my dad had... well. Knowing what I know now, I don't regret hm not being here. As horrible as a person as that makes me. But I wish I had gotten to know him as an adult. And I wish he hadn't ever gone to the damn prison.

Make sure I'm not making a stupid face for the rest of always?

Maybe.

I think I would have liked to meet him. He can't have been completely terrible, if he managed to produce you.

I'll do my best.

Please? I look so pretty without a sucking chest wound.

I think he was a good man, at his core. He made some mistakes. Trying to make more money by selling secrets, trying to get out of the prison. I like to think he was doing it all for us, just doing it the wrong way. I just wish he had thought about it. And some of what happened. I wish I'd never seen him on the planet.

Thank you.

But you always look pretty. So you'd still be pretty anyway.

But you loved him. That's the part that matters.

I try.

But dead. It's hard to marry someone dead.

I did. But I don't love what he did to Frankie's family or my mom or me. He's the reason I can't have kids. I mean, not him. But going to see him. We got caught in a solar flare. Radiation levels off the charts, cheap shielding on the freighter. I almost had a kid once. Not almost. I coulda had a kid once. But it was a monster. Two heads or something. Never made it to term. That's my dad's fault.

Well I promise he won't actually kill you.

I'm sorry. I wish he hadn't hurt you so much.
