The 'Too Hard' Basket

[andraste]

Since you've all been so helpful with that High School AU I Am NOT Writing so far, any suggestions on the below? You were all so good at giving me ideas for Leela. But I don't know what to do with:

Sara Kingdom
Kamelion
Grace Holloway
Frobisher
Laura 'Compassion' Tobin
Chris Cwej
Roz Forrester
Fitz Kreiner
Trix McMillan

The school already has one fierce hockey mistress, which would otherwise be a natural role for Sara. I'm not sure what to do with the shapeshifters, and for some reason I'm having trouble envisioning Grace in a British school setting. The rest are book companions I've not even met! (Anji Kapoor was easy even sight unseen, since every school needs a Bursar.)

Not that every Doctor Who character ever invented needs to have a starring role in this entirely hypothetical story, but I feel the need to know where everyone is, somehow.

*cracks knuckles* Okay, novel companions (and Anji as Bursar is BRILLIANT, I was thinking economics teacher but that's so much better)...

Compassion - Math, possibly algebra. Her special talent would be striking abject fear into the hearts of her students. Doens't give a rat's ass about your personal problems or other fiddly things like "feelings."

Chris - Probably a student, possibly in the UK equivalent of the ROTC if there is such a thing.

Roz - Security? Resource officer equivalent? *shrugs*

Fitz - *sigh* I've been trying and failing to picture him as anything but a layabout groundskeeper. The only other possibility is teahcing music (he plays guitar and sings), but I can totally see him in the background mulching things and giving out beatnik wisdom. And constantly getting reprimanded for smoking behind the garden shed.

Trix- Drama teacher. Fullstop. Or if you shift her into being a student she'd be the princess of the drama geeks, the one who always needs to play the lead. I like that more, actually...

Oh, and I may be friending you as a result of this crack, if that's all right *grin*
