Midnight in the Garden of Good and Eevee

Postby Jezabelle Sherlock » Thu Jul 26, 2018 1:02 am

With her classes done for the afternoon and a few hours until the cafeteria was serving supper, Jez could be found laying sideways across one of the oversized chairs in the student lounge. Her feet dangled over the edge of the armrest as she tapped on her phone. From her position she was just within range of the campus' Pokestop, which made for a good way to kill some time and earn some XP. She reached into a bag of cheese sandwich waffles to munch on a few, crumbs collecting on her chest.

Nika walks in, wearing an unzipped track-suit jacket over her tank-top with a sportsbag slung over her shoulder and her still-wet hair slicked back. Fresh from working out she heads over to the refreshment counter to pick up an apple. Taking a bite out of it she heads for the door again when she spots Jez who'd previously been hidden from view by the back of her chair. She stops and finishes chewing while she waits for Jez to acknowledge her presence before speaking up.

"You're Jezabelle, right?"

Jez was a little distracted at first, but eventually noticed the woman's gaze and began to collect herself, shifting to a more upright sitting position and putting her phone away.

"Oh, yes, I am. I'm sorry, are we in a class together?" She asked ass she tried to place the face, brushing the crumbs off of her shirt.

"Yeah, actually. PolSci, I think? I'm Nika." she quickly adds. Being nice is hard, being intimidating and formal is so much easier.

"Oh that's right! Yes now I remember." Jez smiled before her eyes went wide, recalling the name. She looked the woman over again; yeah, this was definitely the woman Katarina had mentioned. Realizing the awkward pause she'd created she cleared her throat.

"Sorry, I just... nevermind. Hey, have a seat! You want some of these cheese cracker things?"

"No thanks. Just got done working out." she says since that obviously explains to everybody that she shouldn't carb up right now. She does sit down though. "What are you doing?" she asks, nodding at Jez's phone as she puts down her bag.

"Oh, okay." Jez was someone who ate smart but snacked stupid, so she didn't really know a lot about carbs and such; or more accurately she didn't care. But she didn't feel like the answer required any further explanation. She shifted in her seat before looking in the direction that Nika had nodded.

"Oh, I'm just playing some Pokemon Go." She wasn't sure how much more she needed needed to clarify there. "Do you play it?"

"Ghandi broke the law when he organized the salt marches. Rosa Parks was breaking the rules when she refused to give up her seat for a white man. There is no immorality in defying a rule or law which is in itself immoral or unjust, especially if you can do so peacefully. There will always be radicals and extremists on both sides of the spectrum, you can't let their existence prevent real efforts toward beneficial change."

"And if you never question the rules people could be hurt as well. The purpose of protest isn't to bring about a coup or a violent revolution, but to bring about a conversation, to actually discuss the issues. And a lot of people are willing to just remain complacent or oblivious unless the issue is brought to their attention. We are growing and evolving as a society, as a species; our rules and legislations need to follow suit."

"Well I think you're pretty smart, you wouldn't be here otherwise right?" Jez leaned forward enough to grab another cracker from the bag and pop it into her mouth before she spoke with her mouth full. "But I get it, politics and such isn't everyone's thing, that's cool."

"I'm not book smart. I'm here to... protect people." she says a bit evasively. This whole situation is well outside her comfort-zone, especially since she feels she should determine whether or not Jezabelle might potentially put some dangerously radical ideas in Katarina's head.

"Well the professors here are pretty understanding when it comes to that extracurricular activity." Jez couldn't help but grin at Nika's confident smirk, glad to see that this talk of politics hadn't made too bad of a first impression.

"Oh, are you now? Well I'd love to see what you can do sometime."
