6. video; as your body grows bigger, your mind must flower

[Spike sits in front of the camera, scowling. He's wearing a black t-shirt with safety pins stuck into it and various silver rings, plus a silver chain around his neck. His hair is bleached as usual.]

This is bollocks, you know. The whole school deal. They're just trying to grind out little mindless automatons that'll be good little cogs in the machine of society. They don't care about us learning. Just grinding out our little quirks and independent thoughts until we fit in.

Bugger that. I may go to classes and play their little games, but I don't give a crap about society, and I'm plenty happy not fitting in.

Might do this place good to have a broken cog. Shake things up a bit.

[He lights a cigarette and leans back, putting his feet on the table.]

Not that they'd ever appreciate it. Too busy being scandalized by anything different.

Stupid, mindless gits.


[ooc: William "Spike" Pratt is a senior at Westerberg High. He's sort of a rebel/troublemaker type if you couldn't tell. Feel free to mock him!]

No offense but smoking is disgusting. What do you write about?

[bigbad]

None of your business, and you didn't answer my question.

[goodboysgood.livejournal.com]

No, it would break them. If that happened, nothing would work, which would make you fit in perfectly.

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you? The grinding out part.

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

It's always nice to see children think for themselves.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Starting off the year just right, aren't we, Pratt?

[bigbad]

What, cause I don't work?

[bigbad]

Not really.

[bigbad]

I'm not a child.

[bigbad]

It's my last year. I'm allowed to have some fun.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Looks like you've had enough of it over the past three. You know, some people might actually take offense at being called cogs.

[bigbad]

Not really something I'm working too hard to avoid.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Big surprise there. Here's an idea, why don't you try enjoying the place for once? It's your last year and all; maybe you'll be surprised.

[goodboysgood.livejournal.com]

You said it, not me.

[treacherouswork.livejournal.com]

Do you really care?

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

I suppose we're going to have to disagree.

[bigbad]

Like there's anything here to enjoy.

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

When you get to be my age, everyone under 40 is a child.

About my eternal boredom in this hellhole for the next year?

[And that's accompanied by a coy smirk]

Of course I do.

[bigbad]

Looks like.

[bigbad]

That doesn't make us young, just you old.

[bigbad]

Never said that. I do things.

[bigbad]

Guess I'm curious.

[treacherouswork.livejournal.com]

Which doesn't mean that you care.

[He grins slyly, tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth.]

What, want me to give you a hand with that... boredom?
