Behind The Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

Arthur had made sure to set up behind the dorms with a reasonable level of visibility. It was, after all, the first meeting since the welcome picnic, and they had to make themselves obvious to the newbies should one or two be drawn to the gathering.

"Good afternoon, people. I am Arthur Pendragon, and these are Zack Fair and Leto Atreides."

He had even let Zack supply the cookies this time. He figured it wouldn't hurt to charm a few, either.

"For those of you who have only just arrived on Fandom, welcome to the Fighting Reserves. Here is where we practice and plan for any invasions with the help of sinew, steel, and other materials from worlds beyond our ken. If you're looking for another way to contribute, Magic Reserves meets on Monday in the Preserve, and Support Services meets on Friday in the park."

That, apparently, were the administrative messages.

"Now, this is the week of the introduction, as most of you know. So if you're new, or you'd like to give the newcomers an update on your abilities, please, let us know who you are and what you can do. Everyone else," and he rubbed his hands as he considered the area severely, "please share your experiences with Fandom invasions, how we handled them, and maybe one or two ideas about how to better handle them next time round."

"Newbies," he continued, "Please keep in mind that the island likes to keep us on our toes, so whatever has invaded in the past will likely not be what invades next. That doesn't mean we can't prepare. Now, get to it."

Illyria responded to that as any self-respecting, self-important former god would do, by shape-changing again, back to the face that was more or less 'hers.'

"I am Illyria. You... are from earlier in the timestream, if you are the age you appear to be. I've had intercourse with a future version of you."

In this case, you might be looking for the word acquaintance, Illyria, though the other was also sort of true.

And if you looked at the expressions that went over Gunn's face you could see the exact moment Gun's brain broke.

And while "earlier in the timestream" did a lot of damage the "had sex with a future version of you is what sent him over the edge.

"You're telling me we..."

There was a gesture made with his hand that went back and forth between himself and Illria.

"And you know me from a future... Time. Thing."

"Yes. The Charles Gunn I know is an adult." Pregnant pause in which she tried to decide if revealing a lack of comprehension was a weakness or a necessary sacrifice for further knowledge. Right, pause over. "We what?"

"Nevermind," Gunn said crossing his arms. "How exactly do we know each other in this timestream thing?"

"You helped smuggle the sarcophagus containing my essence through customs, which allowed my high priest to instill it within the shell of your former paramour. Later, I rescued you from a hell dimension where a small but impressively sadistic demon ripped your heart out each day."

Well. He did ask.

Gunn just stared at the blue haired chick for a good minute before he was able to find any words to say.

"... Okay. I'm out."

And with that Gunn turned on his heel and left the Reserve activity today.

Illyria watched him leave with her head cocked to the side, evaluating.

Relatively speaking, that could have gone worse.
