Cafeteria: Monday Lunchtime

[kissytheface.livejournal.com]

Dandelion was a girl on a mission. What little information she had retained from the weekend was now devoted to her protecting the cafeteria from the Viking horde which would inevitably attempt to redcorate it.

Heartless Vikings.

Which is why anyone showing up for lunch today would find her guarding the entrace to the cafeteria wielding a large metal soup ladle and a colander on her head.

And no one.. NO ONE was going to make her stray from her sworn duty.

[QUESTION: How long has it been since there was a cafeteria post? ANSWER: Too long! Open post is open.]

Hey, why not? "Yeah, but I don't want to leave you defenseless," he said gravely.

"It's okay," Dandelion assured the stranger. "I've been authorized to use deadly force by the secret government agency I work for."

"Are you sure you should be telling me that?" Tim asked. Maybe he should be worried about the "deadly force", but really, she'd been wielding a soup ladle.

Of course, Bruce probably knew five ways to disable an opponent that could only be done with a soup ladle. Hm... He accepted the ladle from her and spun it in his hand once, getting a feel for it. Weighted poorly, but could probably be thrown in a pinch.

That's because Bruce was the goddamn Batman. Too bad Tim didn't accept "Killer Ladle" training from Lady Shiva.

Dandelion of course had no training whatsoever. Because really... a ladle.

She did however watch Tim spin the ladle with awe which of course made her forget what he had asked.

"Sorry, what was that? Tell who what?"

Well, sure, killer ladle. He'd promised Batman to only use non-lethal kitchen implements. Which did make things difficult when slicing steaks.

"This secret government agency," Tim said. "Exactly how deadly of a force are we talking here?"

"Well is there any other kind of deadly force?" She said throwing her hands up in the air. "Boom. Dead. By forces. Therefore? Deadly."

"You can make things explode?" Tim asked.

[kissytheface.livejournal.com]

"Sure! I just need to find a hand grenade!"

Tim gave a quick look around to make sure there weren't any hand grenades in sight. "We're all out," he said. "Maybe you should try some non-deadly force for this once."

[kissytheface.livejournal.com]

"Oh no," Dandelion said shaking her head. "There's too many side effects if I use non-deadly force."

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Like life?"

"More like dizziness, loving me to pieces, liver engorgement, increased heart rate, loss of appetite, constipation, gamer's thumb, amnesia, euthanasia, micronesia and rhinoplasty," Dandelion said shaking her head. "Which is why I never sing the saddest song in the world on Earth anymore."

Working through that one, aaaand just going to ask, "You're a singer?"
