Office Hours, Tuesday 5/11

[superartie]

Artie had an office. He quite possibly had never had one before. It was just as possible he had no idea what a teacher generally did with an office.

"One . . . two . . . three . . . four. . . ." Artie was currently doing some aerobics in his office. "Eins . . . zwei . . . drei . . . vier . . . im Deutschland!"

Artie's aerobics involved bouncing around the roof off walls and falling over the desk.

His office was open.

"...Dutch land?" Hayley said, pausing in the hallway outside of his office. She peered inside, a quizzical expression on her face. "I think you're not pronouncing it right."

[superartie]

Artie froze mid-wall-banging and gasped. "Greetings, young German viking! Come in!"

"I'm a viking?" Hayley said, not exactly objecting. She wandered in, drawn by his dress sense.

The management would like to point out that Hayley had a thing for The Joker. She's not exactly a fashionista.

[superartie]

Some might note that, with the tight pants, the striped shirt, and the thick-rimmed black glasses, Artie was practically a hipster.

"Of course! And a proud viking at that! So says Artie!" He struck a heroic pose. "The strongest man . . . in the world!"

Hayley was going to just smile. She actually kind of liked this guy. A little weird, but... he seemed to have a good opinion of her right off the bat.

"And I'm Hayley," she said. "But I'm not strongest of anything."

[superartie]

"That's not the spirit, Hayley! You must be super at something!"

Hayley was super unstable, but that wasn't exactly a positive thing.

"I ain't figured that out yet," Hayley said, her smile fading a little. "I'm still trying to find that thing."

[superartie]

"Then perhaps I can help!" Artie struck another pose. "Have you ever arm-wrestled a slab of bacon?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"I had never thought about that," Hayley said. "But now that you mention it, I kinda want to."

[superartie]

Artie gasped again. "Idea! Iiiiiideeeeeeeeaaaaaaa! Would you like to assist me in teaching Fandom to wrestle bacon?"

Hayley stared.

"Yes. Yes I do," she said.

She didn't have anything better to do with her time.

[superartie]

"Excellent! Our first class is tomorrow!"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Tomorrow?" Hayley said, blinking. "Well gee, I guess I better dive right in. What do I need to do?"

[superartie]

That was a good question. Artie made a show of considering it carefully. "Show up," he said. "And be strange."
