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!]

[Buffy saunters up to the table Spike has his feet on and leans against the edge of it. She's wearing her cheerleading uniform because of course they have a pep rally later to welcome everyone to school. She rolls her eyes at him]

Are you trying to get expelled the first day of school?

Yeah, that social outcast thing has never been done before.

Actually with a broken cog the entire machine would cease to function. That is why they're usually removed.

Please. The whole "I'm a rebel because I think that school turns us into little mindless automatons" is both cliche and so ten years ago. If you're going to try to act different, you could at least try a little harder.

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

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

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

Some of them can't survive without a mold to fit into. I just feel sorry for them, really.
