Talking Is A Free Action - 7/7 - Thursday

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."

Wesley listened, and wondered when the first "Limey" would happen.

At least it wasn't part of the lecture.

Wesley had had his share of embarrassing catchphrases in the past. The one he went with -- which apparently could only be said in a very serious tone with his posture and facial expression all intended to convey that he was, for all intents and purposes, a badass -- was as follows:

"Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. Rogue demon hunter."

Then he saw a spider, and he scrambled to stomp on it.

Fuck the lecture, Nathan was excited to finally have a class with the guy in the red pajamas. Until now, he'd just been a legend and a voice on the radio and now Nathan got to go toe to toe with him, if he had his wish. If not, he'd just insult those pajamas.

See, Nathan's trouble here was going to be deciding which catchphrase of his to use. Did he wanna go vulgar and shock people? Did he wanna go honest and surprise people? Or did he wanna make some shit up just because he could?

"Nathan Young and I've pissed things that look better than you, mate."

Yeah, he was gonna go with that as a catchphrase.

Cara didn't so much listen as wonder how she ended up in this class.

"Cara."

Mord'Sith didn't do witty catchphrases. Someone was going to have a great time in this class.

"What the fuck's a rogue demon, mate?" Nathan felt compelled to ask. "You make it sound like you like you kinky games of hide and seek. I don't judge!"

Re: Introduce Yourself! ... To Eachother!

Nathan was not the first to ask such a question. But he was, of course, the first to make it about sex. Go, Nathan!

"No, no, you see, the 'rogue' describes myself," Wesley explained wearily. "It modifies the compound noun 'demon hunter.'"

Yes, Wesley. Teach Nathan grammar. That should go well.

Nathan didn't know a lot about grammar but something about that didn't seem right.

"So actually, you're a rogue and a demon hunter?" Nathan asked, raising an eyebrow. "Rogue demon hunter makes you sound like you're hunting down demons that have gone all...rogue from their demon-y actions. It's a bit confusing, mate."

"Well, certainly, to you," Wesley sniped.

And to Cordelia. And probably the demon community.

Sorry, Nathan. He was very protective of his catchphrases.

Cara somehow managed not to roll her eyes.

"You didn't need a catchphrase to pick that up. I'm amazed." Mord'Sith could however do scathing comments quite well.

Geez. Another class with pajama-man?

Then again... Jack was a dog. He had no room to talk. Not that he wouldn't.

//Yeeeeeah,// Jack said with a dog like sigh, //I'm Jack. I'm a dog. And... this can't be good.//
