Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[bigdamnprincipal]

The weather was thankfully behaving, so it was fairly warm outside as everything was set up for the picnic. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE. OCD IS UP, HAVE AT IT. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

Might be surprised by Fandom his arse, Bond thought as he took up a spot near the tables where he could watch the rest of the lawn without looking like he was watching. He'd bet the pension he'd probably never see that she'd known full well when she was sending him as well as where.

Aravis happened to be wandering past, thanks to being there to find some kind of stupid little sibling of some sort. She still had no idea how she'd gotten roped into this.

Bond blinked as he caught a flash of red out of the corner of his eye, then shook his head. No it couldn't be, probably just jet-lag.

Aravis found a place to sit for a moment, taking her hair out of its plait to redo it. It was falling straighter than usual today, to her confusion.

Frowning, Bond pinched himself to make sure he hadn't fallen asleep.

Maybe M had been onto something worrying about his mental health.

Aravis noticed the man staring at her, and waved a little, staring back.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

Forcing a smile and a small wave back, Bond very deliberately turned away, watching through the corner of his eye.

She'd been good and dead, he knew that, but then again, it's not like he'd been able to stick around for a funeral.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

Well, that wouldn't do.

"Why are you staring at me?" Aravis asked, striding over.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

Even if his eyes were playing tricks on him, he wasn't going to forget that voice in a hurry.

Without thinking, Bond's hand shot out towards her wrist.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis, as a consequence, immediately swung out with her other hand towards his face. "Let me go!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

Twisting out of the path of the blow, Bond reached for that wrist too.

"Not until you tell me what you're doing here," he hissed.

"Going to school?" she replied slowly. "Being attacked by random men? I'll scream, don't think I won't."

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

If this was another of M's little surprises. "We both know that if I really wanted to attack you, Vesper, you wouldn't have time to get a scream off."

Deadpool was looking for Bond. James Bond.

And he was having some trouble because that couldn't be his teaching buddy, no no. That was the guy who hit on him that one time.

"Didn't you mysteriously leave town?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

Bond wasn't sure what it said about his state of mind that he found it easier not to stare at the possibly crazed man in red pajamas, than that Aravis girl just now.

"I assure you," he said in his calmest dealing-with-rabid-dogs-and-insane-people tone. "If it was in my power to leave this place, I already would have."

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Which was good as Deadpool was one of those things. Guess which.

Go on! Guess!

"Huh. Less--" He twirled his hand, searching for the word. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell sounding." A beat. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course."

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

If pressed Bond would have said that Pajamas over here looked decidedly non-canine, but then again, he was wearing a mask.

"Of course not," Bond agreed slowly. "Parliament has been most progressive about that kind of thing."

"You're not that angel guy, are you?" Deadpool said, reaching a conclusion on the matter.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

"Angel guy?"

Oh, yes, he was going to give that woman a piece of his mind at the very next opportunity.

"Never mind! Doppelganger and all that jazz." He offered a hand. "As long as there's not hitting on me, as I am a married man, you cad."

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

"I wouldn't dream of it," Bond replied with a smile, taking the offered hand. After all, it was a lot less fun when you didn't have the option of leaving the country before the cuckolded partner found out. "So this doppelganger business is a common occurrence around these parts?"

He was very pointedly not looking in Aravis's direction as he said this.

Deadpool nodded sagely. It was hard to shock someone from his universe. All those crossover events just killed the joy of the double ewe tea eff.

"I think so, but where I'm from, it's usually the clones. Or aliens. or alien clones. Or cosmic entities pretending to be people," He said, as if this was something ordinary like talking about getting the drycleaning.

Which he might need to do. Sometimes his random train of thoughts helped!

He smiled cheerfully. "Name's Deadpool."

Now he was certain M was sitting in her office back in London, cackling to herself in evil glee.

"A pleasure, I'm sure. I'm Bond," he said, and then, since for all he knew, there were a dozen other Bonds running around this place "James Bond."

Hmm, he did rather like the sound of that.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

Pausing, Deadpool looked around the lawn.

"Do you get the sense that we should be in a sniper scope before you shoot them in a dramatic fashion accompanied by theme music?" A beat. "Or is it just me?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Spring 2008)

[doubleohblonde]

Bond frowned as he thought about it. "Usually I've found dramatic music tends to ruin the point of using a sniper."

Don't ask how he knew this. Just don't.
