There Will Be Cake [Tuesday, Period Three]

[doubleohblonde]

Once his students finished arriving, Bond looked around the classroom, and counted. He had hoped that today's radio had been a technical malfunction.

"Good afternoon," he said. "I'm hoping that today's absences are the result of emotional stress from yesterday evening rather than the beginnings of something untoward, but in either case it might be an idea to give class a miss today. Your homework is head over to the dorms and cook up some comfort food in the common rooms. We may need it."

"I do hope she has good taste in spirits then." Because if you were going to ignore an impending crisis in favour of getting drunk, it should be on quality liquor.

"Well, it looked like when I got a look at her stash." Eating April's ice cream after causing a blackout on her apartment. "So I should be covered."

"Excellent, then." Bond, don't encourage your colleges to steal other people's alcohol.

But they weren't doing anything with it!

"You're welcome to join me. Probably not with the breaking an' entering, though."

Because when in doubt, make friends with your countrymen and have tea and booze until things blow over?

Well if they weren't doing anything with it...

"Want to keep all the fun to yourself?" Bond teased. "If we swing by my office first, we can tap into my emergency stash."

One of his emergency stashes, anyway.

"Sure." More booze the merrier, right? She shrugged. "Name's Sarah, by the way. Or, well, Electroclash."

Since she was currently in uniform and all.

"Bond. James Bond," he replied. "Afraid I don't have a codename though."

Liar, 007.

"Well, it's more of a cape thing." And a secret agent thing, but whatevs, as they said. "James will do."

Bond smiled. "Indeed it will," he said. "I suspect you wear a cape much better than I would."

Re: Talk to Bond - Cake [13]

[electrocynic]

"Don't wear one." No, just a dress and some go-go boots. As you do. "But if I did, yes, I'd wear it better."

Re: Talk to Bond - Cake [13]

Well, if it was a dress and go-go boots then Bond might give her some competition.

He nodded agreement. "After all, you need a certain amount of panache to pull off a cape, swagger, even." Because swagger was something he was totally unfamiliar with, really.
