Raquel Price, 40. International Politics professor at WDC.

[fastest-girl-in-town]

[Standing on the edge of a building]

Come up here. You have to see this.

[raquelprice]

See what? You, being a mindless brat? Come down, girl; stop making a show.

[sally-rag-bones]

I do agree some hairstyles are pretty bad. But I don’t think anyone doesn’t deserve their head, they’re here for something. 

I try to balance both fun and academics, Miss. Don’t worry, I have my life plan pretty organized and I’m pretty disciplined, most of the time.

[raquelprice]

Some people would be better as headless corpses walking around, as a matter of fact. Only then they'd stop being idiots and be somewhat useful. Ha.

Sure you do, dear. And what would be your life plans, Miss Bones?

[flavershamwhatever]

I think you’d be surprised at what I’m capable of handling. I don’t want to be the average wide eyed freshman. I have a lot I intend to accomplish.

[raquelprice]

I guess only time will tell what surprises you have for me. And such an ambitious one, you. You're still young; what drives you to dream so high already?

[flavershamwhatever]

Any good mind knows that almost everything is politics, Professor Price. Olivia Hall, nice to meet you.

[raquelprice]

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that, Miss... [stops at hearing her last name, as if caught by surprise] Hall.

It's a pleasure to meet you too, my girl. You're welcome to watch my classes, but keep in mind your commitment to it. I tell you in advance, the subject can be quite the ethically complex and treacherous art; you wouldn't mind that, would you?

[flavershamwhatever]

Are there any available seats in your class?

[raquelprice]

Of course. Politics is not very sought after; it seems the majority of students here are more on the artistic side. Oh, well. What is your name, dear?

[raquelprice]

[opens her mouth, but stutters]

Sure. So… nice of you to call my attention to it. But next time, be more subtle, will you?

[to-change-your-fate-deactivated]

Subtle isn’t really my thing but I’ll try my best, ma’am.

[raquelprice]

Good. You know, the greatest things of life are achieved with subtlety. Stealth, even.

...I know that from experience.

[priceless-eliana-deactivated202]

[on the phone] Yes Ma. I already called Mona and Matt. Yeah. I sent grandma a card. Uh huh. Of course I’m wearing yellow. It’s like you don’t know me at all. Look, a student’s waiting for me. Talk to you later. Love you. Bye. [hangs up the phone] Well, that was…fun.

[raquelprice]

[moves away from the door, after being noticed] Not a student, actually. I'm sorry for interrupting your lovely conversation... if you were considering on carrying it on, that is.

[thisisthedayyourdreamscomet-blog]

I said fuck off, want me to put that in writing?

[raquelprice]

Oh. [inhales slowly] So, please tell me, why exactly you want me to fuck off for? Did I kill someone you loved and I don't remember it?

[to-change-your-fate-deactivated]

Your, uh, fly is down.

[raquelprice]

[opens her mouth, but stutters]

Sure. So... nice of you to call my attention to it. But next time, be more subtle, will you?

[sally-rag-bones]

Who in their right minds would use that kind of gel? it sounds disgusting. 

Well, I once took a shot because Shelby gave me one at a party, but it was back home. My body and alcohol don’t mix very well, so I don’t drink, Professor Price. 

[raquelprice]

Oh, but the types we see. Some hairstyles are of bad taste enough for the person to not be deserving of their own goddamned heads.

That's very good to hear. Now, be cautious with the other several ways to destroy your life in university, if not after it, and you'll be a great successful woman. A matter of discipline, they say.

[although-i-dont-play-fair]

[Extends her hand reluctantly] You as well Mrs. Price. I think it’s seen better days.

[raquelprice]

Not much of a talker, you.

Oh, well, it seems like it never got past this. But let's be positive, shall we? It's not like it can get worse.

[raquelprice]

Excuse me, what did you say?

[although-i-dont-play-fair]

Yes, that’s right. And you are?

[raquelprice]

Raquel Price, International Politics Professor. Nice to meet you, Miss Bulgria. [extends hand for a handshake] I'm a newcomer myself.

And what are you thinking of the university so far? Besides the unfortunate state of the office.

[although-i-dont-play-fair]

They call this an office? Oh dear, we’ll have to fix this won’t we?

[raquelprice]

A sad reality, isn't it?

And you're... Miss Bulgria, the new Entomology Professor, am I right?

[sally-rag-bones]

Is it? I had no idea. I was just browsing on the internet and found some weird shot names. 

[raquelprice]

A shot, huh. And here was I thinking Gorilla snot was a terrible name for hair gel; it got worse.

But tell me, Miss Bones, have you ever tried one of those freakish shots? I wouldn't want such a smart girl like you frying your brains and liver out of curiosity.

[dazzlingplace-i-never-knew]

Oh no I quite like my life. Professor. Price. 

[raquelprice]

Tsk tsk tsk

Such a nice girl being so rude. I was just worried about your... well being and future.

[dazzlingplace-i-never-knew]

Did I really just sleep all day?

[raquelprice]

If that's actually true, perhaps today would be a good day to rethink your life, Miss Sharma.
