[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?

I wouldn't complain too hard. Get a bit of time to myself. Why, would you miss me?

As if.

[She glances at her nails and then back at him]

But school is already boring enough.

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

It's got nothing to do with that. It's got to do with not just bowing unquestioningly to authority.

Not bowing to unquestioning authority isn't a quirk. It's just a fashion choice. From like 1990. You aren't wearing eyeliner, are you? Black nail polish?

Whatever. You're missing the point. Don't know why I even bother.

I'm not missing your point. [Pause, and a shrug, though obviously it's not visible.] I just don't see what's so bad about wanting to fit in sometimes.

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.

So you plan to pull this once we're all out of school? I imagine that will make such a lovely impression on everyone you meet and any potential higher ups that you're going to have to report to.

And it's not a niche, it's a throne. Just because the norms are lost on you doesn't mean that most everyone else needs them to know where they fit in the world.

Maybe I don't want higher ups.

What, and you're the person to tell them? Maybe being forced to fit into some box isn't what people need. Your highness.

What about you? Any interests outside of bouncing up and down with pompoms in short skirts?

It's not just bouncing up and down. It's a lot more work than someone who focuses on short skirts can imagine.
