The classroom was perfectly normal when everyone arrived. Desks, chalk board, that weird projector thing hanging out in the back... normal. And it was gonna damn well stay that way.

"Hello and welcome to Talking is a Free Action, kids. Today we're gonna start at the beginning with introductions," Deadpool said, emphasizing the word with spirit fingers. "Yeah, yeah. You've been doing it ever since you arrived here, but have you been doing it right?"

Well, kids. Have you? Didn't think so.

"Say you've busted onto the scene with a dramatic pose and witty one liner, but no one there recognizes you in all your inherent awesomeness." Which had totally never happened to him. "So, what do you do then? You make 'm know about you with good marketing."

A beat.

"It also helps if you have a good writer at the time. Damn you, Way."

Frat boy razzum frazzum...

"Ooo, try starting out with your name and a catchphrase. I'm Deadpool, the merc with a mouth. It gives you a taste and leaves you wanting more. Another example would be Wolverine whose catchphrase is 'I'm the best at what I do and what I do isn't very nice,'" he added. "But that leads us into what I call The Meatloaf Conundrum. Where we're all left wondering what that really means. What is it that he wouldn't do for love? Why has science not solved this mystery? Curse you, Reed Richards!"

...moving right along.

"Aaaanywho. I want you all to find a classmate and introduce yourself with a witty catchphrase. Find multiple classmates for extra credit! You need to build buzz or else you'll just be another Adam dollar sign ampersand little at symbol star ing X. And no one wants that."

"Alex Aaron," Alex said. "God of fear! God of Xbox!"

"Awww, I thought you were dead!" Deadpool said. "I really need to keep up with my solicits..."

A beat.

"Wait... wait... are you gonna have a throw down with Hercules? Oh god, can I film it?"

Alex shrugged. "I got better." It happened. "And I wasn't planning on it? I was just going to, you know, stay away from him." It seemed politer.

"I suppose mentioning the puppy incident might not inspire quite as much fear," Wesley joked to his roommate. "But I like that. It works for you."

Right, Alex might ought to explain the 'no, really, I'm the god of fear,' thing to his roommate at some point. But he freaked Wesley out enough already...

For now, he went with, "I am so the god of Xbox."

Actually, learning he was the god of fear might be a relief. It would certainly explain the ~~handwaved~~ unnerved feeling he'd been having off-and-on since the return to the dorms.

"Ah -- that is, er, that's that video game, right?" he asked to clarify.

Because he was from the nineties, and also stuffy and British.
