Electroclash was in her office.

Packing.

Not that there was a whole lot to pack. She hadn't really brought too much of any personal shit in here in the first place, over the years. So mostly she was just pointlessly re-arranging some of the old paperwork that whoever her replacement was going to be was probably not even going to look at. At least if they were anything like her.

Her home was about half-packed away. Still needed to ship a ton of her crap back to London, where it'd either get divvied up between her friends or it'd wait for her in storage if this Oa business all went to shit. She wasn't going to be packing heavily for space.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

This was really happening.

[ooc: Open post/office! Likely to be her last open post in the game so come and get her while you caaaaan.]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Uggggh.)
Jigsaw puzzles were so fucking boring.

So why was Electroclash still working on the one she had spread out over the desk in her office? Some weird masochistic sense of 'well it's not like I have anything else to be doing', probably. Besides, she'd made some progress over the last month. One corner of the puzzle filled up an' all. Even if it was still boring as shit.

Sure, there was a pile of untouched paperwork off to one side but please, she wasn't that desperate for entertainment.

[ooc: Open door/post. Come get your guidance on.]
Electroclash's desk was being taken up by a jigsaw puzzle. Or at least one corner of it. She'd only just gotten started with it, see, and was really just in the process of trying to find the edge pieces. That was how you got started with these bloody things, right? She didn't know.

Jenny had been badgering her about getting a hobby.

So this fucking better count for that.

Also it was supposed to encourage her to spend time in her office, but there was a good chance it'd drive her to leave early because honestly, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make puzzles out of pictures where so many bloody pieces looked exactly the same?

[ooc: Open!]
Electroclash was back from London. Straight from London, in fact – because sometimes the way to ensure she actually made it to work at some point was to just skip going home at all so she didn't get distracted by the fact that she didn't actually have to deal with anyone at home if she didn't want to. Because that kind of freedom could be awfully distracting.

Anyway, so, she headed straight up to the school after getting back. And unceremoniously dumped her Jen-given souvenirs onto her desk: a small bag of handmade fudge... and a 3000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Jenny thought it could be fun. Somehow. Something for her to do at the office! Because apparently everyone was obsessed with her not doing her job enough, Jesus fucking Christ. Whatever.

But she was looking the box over now all the same.

[ooc: Open post, open office, I'm done filming things for the week, aw yisss.]

Electroclash didn't feel like being here.

So, business as usual, then. Since she was here, and looking surly as hell while she was. Although at least some of the surliness was due to Jenny's bloody stupid insistence that Sarah should make some kind of a cutesy little slideshow of some of their holiday photographs.

The computer wasn't co-operating. Neither with her feeble attempts at clicking things, nor actual raspy, electronic voiced commands.

"Un-fucking-believable."

Yeah, this was great and soothing.

And here we were again.

Electroclash, bored out of her wits, in her office.

But there was one small perk compared to many, many other times this same situation had happened: there was no annoying radio! Granted, there wasn't any radio, but the lack of a possessed radio spewing God knows what drivel at an uncomfortable volume was a definite plus.

Not that it made Electroclash look any less surly, but, you know. Still nice.

[ooc: Open.]

There was a guidance counselor in the guidance counselor's office.

During actual office hours.

It was a mid-week miracle!

... She was also making paper planes out of a small pile of Valentine's Day themed junk mail. Because reasons. Which had largely to do with Valentine's Day being utter bollocks. Cheery!

[ooc: ]
There was a surly Elecroclash in the guidance counselor's office.

This was nothing new, no matter what the particular reasons may have been this time. Nothing particularly new about the fact that emails had gone out to random students again, inviting them in for counseling check-ups. The administration had vaguely said they might be targeting new students, but Electroclash had no clue as to whether that had actually been done.

She was folding some of her useless paperwork into paper planes all the same.

[ooc: Open post, mod your emails at your leisure, old and new students alike! La.]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Oh that's actually bad.)
Some more handwavy emails had gone out to completely random students again, informing them they were expected to show up for a session with the guidance counselor in the near future. This continued to be Electroclash's least favourite thing about her job.

Of course, few people tended to ever actually show up, so there was that. So she felt relatively comfortable to be slouching in her seat, safe in the knowledge that a deluge of people seeking help was unlikely.

The radio, for its part, was playing a steady loop of Wonderwall today.

[ooc: Open, mod your emails! I may be slow due to being on sloooooow internets, though.]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Uggggh.)
New term!

Same old grumpy counselor in her office. Joy. The still-broken radio was now playing cello covers of Metallica on repeat, because what else? Electroclash was ignoring it – or at least doing her level bes to do so because she was trying to deal with the radio situation in general with dignity – in favour of making a half-hearted attempt at getting on top of paperwork.

Who the fuck were the people in the latest batch of new students, anyway? Maybe she needed to find that out now. The administration had already told her the randomized counseling emails were going to start going out again soon.

Sigh

[ooc: Open! I remembered Apocalyptica exists.]
electrocynic: ([srh neu] Listen here idiot.)
The radio was back.

And it was also back to playing Christmas carols.

"Christ. Un-fucking-believable."

Electroclash slumped down into her seat behind the desk. Another banner day at the guidance counselor's office!

[ooc: Open!]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Bitchy uniform.)
Electroclash was predictably cranky.

The good thing was that the radio had stopped playing Christmas carols.

The bad thing was that it was now playing an endless torrent of barely-appropriate pop and overly syrupy love songs, and she did not much care for either right now.

Fandom High's guidance counselor was in. And slumped in her chair behind her desk, looking grumpy. But in.

[ooc: Open!]
electrocynic: ([srh neu] Listen here idiot.)
Yes, Electroclash knew she'd not been in her office very much over the last... while. And yes, she knew that wasn't very good for her work, although she wondered if anyone could really blame her, on an island this bloody bonkers.

So why would her damn radio not stop playing Christmas music?

"|Radio STOP!|"

The radio did not stop. It wasn't even plugged in, anymore, and had no batteries.

"Fucking unbelievable."

Fandom, your counselor was in, and cranky. Because of red-nosed reindeer and the like.

There was a gingerbread house on Electroclash's desk. It had been there since she'd come in this morning when she'd come in to work. Just... sitting there. All surprising and gingerbread-like.

So Electroclash's main work task today was side-eyeing the hell out of said gingerbread house. Mostly because she didn't feel like doing any actual bloody work. But also because she thought it looked shifty.

Of course, the longer the day dragged on, the more she was starting to wonder if she should tempt fate and break off pieces of it to eat.

[ooc: Open!]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Bitchy uniform.)
The guidance counselor was in her office! And in full costume, because respectability and officiality or some rubbish like that.

She was also in a terrible mood, because Jenny had promised to come see her this weekend, and then there'd been some utter bollocks with Slicefist or some other second-rate villain, so she'd had to stay home in London. Ugh.

So, yes, Electroclash was available for parents and students alike to talk to. But she wasn't going to be happy about it. Perfect.

[ooc: Open door, open post, come see who's counseling your kids!]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Oh that's actually bad.)
Sarah had not meant to come into the office today. Jenny, ever worried that she wasn't interacting with people enough out here (as she bloody liked it), had signed her up for some random tour of Washington DC. And honest, she hadn't gotten separated from the group on purpose, or anything. It was just that some little old tourist lady from Florida or Arkansas or one of those other places Electroclash had no idea about had nagged at her to make sure the rest of the group didn't leave her behind while she went to use the ladies'.

And Sarah had no clue when or how the old cow had escaped the restroom without her noticing but yeah. She'd gotten left behind. And then she'd shrugged and come back to Fandom. Might as well hold her office hour. If the past was any indication, it would be pleasantly quiet and uninterrupted.

[ooc: Open post/office!]
electrocynic: ([ec neg] Uggggh.)
Electroclash had a muffin, and a giant cup of black coffee. Good.

But, she also had a mountain of random paperwork which had been unceremoniously dumped on her desk by someone from the administration as soon as she'd made it in this morning. Bad.

She was going to be going through some of this paperwork like she was supposed to, sure. But she was also going to turn at least a fifth (or maybe a fourth) of the pile in front of her into paper planes that were going to be drifting out into the hallway all through the day. Yes.

[ooc: Open! Mod your generic check-up emails at will.]
electrocynic: ([srh neu] Listen here idiot.)
Good day, Fandom High! It was a lovely Thursday morning, and your guidance counselor was present and ready to be of help.

"How the fuck is it not here yet?"

Or maybe yelling at an Amazon order tracking page on her computer screen.

"It has been 'out for delivery' for four bloody days!"

Yeah, definitely yelling at an Amazon order tracking page on her computer screen. But maybe she'd be more helpful if someone interrupted her and distracted her? See, she already slumped back in her chair and grumbled to herself at much lower volume. It'd be fine.

[ooc: Open! And method RP.]
electrocynic: ([ec pos] Mmhmm do continue.)
Electroclash had donuts. Yes, that was what it took to get her to come to work this week. A boxful of donuts from JGoB, and an iced coffee. They seriously brightened up her mood, and that was all that mattered, she didn't even care about how unhealthy it was. Jenny wasn't here to bitch at her about it.

She might even be persuaded to share. Maybe.

But probably not.

[ooc: Open post/office/everything!]
Yeah, yeah, Electroclash had been failing at showing up to her own damn office hours lately. She knew. She was going to try and do better. Or not. Depended on her mood.

Which currently was not the greatest. She figured she'd try and change that with some drinks later, but for now, she was in her office, and so bored that she was actually doing some of her paperwork. Like, actually working on it instead of folding it into planes and stuff.

It was pretty amazing.

[and open!]
