Office Hours, Saturday, 10/3

[tyler_gone]

Tyler was in his office, and more than a little curious about what this year's crop of parents might be like.

He'd fill the time until anybody showed up by trying to read the xkcd archives.

"I do," Tyler grinned. "You're her ... older sister? Guardian?"

"Guardian, I guess," Alice said. "Alice." She sat down, feeling a little edgey about not being armed. "How's the kid doing?"

[tyler_gone]

"Hi, Alice. She seems like she's having fun in class," Tyler said, and cracked a smile. "Especially anytime we do anything that could be turned into a weapon."

"Now that's a balanced education," Alice said. "You do a lot of that?"

[tyler_gone]

Tyler shrugged. "Depends on the class. Usually we do at least Moltov cocktails and nitroglycerin. One term I did cannons out of trees," he said. "... you aren't freaked?"

Alice just laughed. "I take it K doesn't exactly talk about home."

[tyler_gone]

"She's mentioned fighting zombies," Tyler shrugged. "Just wasn't sure if that was a guardian-sanctioned activity."

"That's a 'do it to survive' activity," Alice said. "Umbrella Corp really fucked the planet up."

[tyler_gone]

"Yeaaaaaah." Tyler through he remembered the name. "Is it recovering? At all?"

"Well, we've got a plan of attack," Alice said, smirking. "And I've got an army, now."

[tyler_gone]

"So you're in charge, huh?" Tyler asked, hunching forward in interest. "Didn't realize that. Congratulations."

[myname-isalice.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly something I asked for," she said. "And you don't even want to know about the army."

[tyler_gone]

"I'll take your word for it," Tyler said. "Still -- good luck with it. K-Mart's a good kid, anyhow."

[myname-isalice.livejournal.com]

"Thanks for your time," Alice said. "Keep an eye on her for me, would you?"

[tyler_gone]

"Count on it," Tyler smiled. He'd decided K-Mart's guardian was all right.
