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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Yes, there were even more tents on the other side of the lawn.

Yes, the tables and chairs that had been set up there were still close to the ice cream.

Priorities are very important here at Fandom High.

"Your optimism--" Reminded him strongly of Jim. "--is just frustrating."

"What, you like walking around with a dark cloud over your head?" Dean joked.

"Someone's got to do it, kid," Bones said.

"Whatever floats your boat, I guess," Dean said. "I'm Dean Winchester."

"Leonard McCoy," he said. "Just McCoy is fine. Nobody calls me Leonard."

Nobody but his ex-wife, anyway.

"Could always call you Stormy," Dean teased.

"Don't even think about it," he said. "I already have to put up with one ridiculous nickname, I'm not about to put up with two."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"What ridiculous nickname?" Dean asked curiously.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[maythrowuponyou.livejournal.com]

He sighed. "I let my friend Jim call me Bones."

Dean cocked his head to the side. "You... had a part time job as a skeleton?" he guessed.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"He just took it from something I said the first time we met." That was so nice of Jim, giving him a nickname that came from talking about his divorce.

"Guess it beats, say, Crankypants," Dean observed.

Bones raised an eyebrow. "You're extremely annoying, you know that?"

Sadly he didn't sound as annoyed as he should be by that.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"Most people think I'm kinda awesome," Dean said.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

And there was an eye roll. "Do me a favor, kid? At some point you need to go find James T. Kirk and have an raging ego contest. I'm curious to see who would win."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"He another new student?" Dean asked.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[maythrowuponyou.livejournal.com]

"He's an adult. Acts like he's twelve but physically an adult," Bones said. He hadn't yet realized that Jim landed a job as a teacher yet. "He should be wandering around here somewhere."

If he hadn't already got himself arrested or found a woman to go off with yet, that is.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"So he didn't get violated by the black hole de-ager thingy?" Dean asked, having put together that 'friend Jim' and "James T. Kirk' were probably the same person.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[maythrowuponyou.livejournal.com]

"Other than the whole time travel thing? No, he remained the same," Bones said a tad bitterly. It really wasn't fair.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Time travel here isn't really that out of the ordinary," Dean said. "I'd say probably over half of the students here are from different times. Some are from different planets too. Or dimensions."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[maythrowuponyou.livejournal.com]

"So I've heard. I work in space so I've seen my share of strange things," he said. "I just didn't expect to find it here in the twenty-first century. You aren't supposed to know about aliens yet."

Granted, he technically wasn't supposed to know about time travel for a few more years and yet...

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"Aliens weren't really that big a deal," Dean said. "Least for me. My family's been hunting ghosts and demons since I was four so I'm used to weird."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

[maythrowuponyou.livejournal.com]

"Ghosts and demons aren't something I'm too familiar with," he admitted. "But, honestly, I've gotten to the point where I'll believe just about anything exists."

"Then you're way ahead of a lot of people when they first get here," Dean told him clapping him on the shoulder. "Just stay away from the gremlins and you'll be fine."
