fandomhighdorms | Magic Reserves, Preserve by the Cabins, Wednesday Afternoon

The meeting today was in its usual place instead of the dreaded Danger Shop. There were even donuts! Because those made the past weekend melt away.

"Hello, everyone! Today we'll be trying a new exercise to work on communication," Merlin said, clutching a plate of non-crazy blue man making donuts close.

"Communication is very important," Karla added, shooting Merlin a glare that said, Share! He wasn't the only one who'd had a bad weekend and, dammit, she hadn't even turned into anyone! "We saw that in the last invasion, particularly. Whether it's information about our enemies' weaknesses, coordination, or just letting people know where you're going and when you expect to be back, keeping everyone informed and in the loop can make a big difference."

Tony had actually had a good weekend. Coincidentally (or not), it had been spent away from Fandom. "We're going to play a game to practice communication. It's called Telephone, and some of you guys might know it already. We'll give you a phrase and you have to pass it to the person closest to you, who passes it to the next person, et cetera, et cetera. The big rule today is that you can't speak out loud during this game."

~~And the mun didn't forget Kurt first time around. Blame the image inducer, anyway.~~

Tony'd acquired a doughnut somehow. Mmm, sugary.

Dinah wandered by with a pastry in hand. "Soooo, how was your weekend, and who were you?"

"I was myself," Tony informed her. "And I was in New York. So - pretty good. How about you?"

"Black Canary again, different one this time, and oooo!" Dinah's face brightened considerably. "We'll come back to my weird weekend if you tell me what you were doing in New York." Her smile turned wicked.

She did not say 'or who', but this was Tony.

"Lee apologized," Tony smiled. And let her draw conclusions from that.

"Yes!" Dinah punched the air and did a little victory dance. "That's awesome! You guys worked it out? You're cool now?"

Tony nodded. "He had a long talk with Amy before he called me."

"Did she get out the stapler? That thing is deadly."

"I didn't get details," Tony said. "So, tell me about your weekend!"

"Let's see, turned into Black Canary; got breakfast in the Common Room from my roomie, talked to Jaime," she had to grin at that memory. "And Priestly. Ran into Roy, they hit it off." Carefully not saying that Roy and the BC she'd been were *really* damn close; like, maybe only a timeline apart. "And rescued Karla from Harley Quinn. Who was Hayley. Gah."

Tony considered all that. "How'd things go with Jaime?"

Trust Tony to go for the interesting one. "Fiiiiiiine." And grin. Widely.

Tony offered her a high-five.

Dinah slapped his hand and held his, beaming at him. "We talked on Monday. About lots of stuff. And all about last week. So, next time I maybe need rescuing? Or just update you guys on craziness from afar? Jaime gets an update too. And an invite on any strike teams."

...yeah, they really needed to still talk about that.

"Is that 'cause he's got secret powers or is it 'cause he's your boy~friend?" Tony teased.

"We didn't say boyfriend! Or girlfriend! ... but yeah." Dinah's face was glowing tulip-magenta now. "That thing. Not the other, thing."

Ahem. Nope. Not 'til Jaime confessed to people, anyway.

"Okay," Tony said. Jaime could always help Priestly with the backup stuff. "Except for the part where you're never going to need rescuing again, right?"

"Never, ever, ever," Dinah vowed.

~~As her mun laughed maniacally.~~

"...did you give him the toad speech yet?"

"Would I do that?" Tony tried to project innocence.

"You've done it to nearly every other guy I've dated or tried to date here." She stuck her tongue out at him. "And I didn't even get to threaten Lee, who still needs to be hit with something. There is an imbalance of threats here!"

"Lee apologized!"

"He still deserves a thwapping!" Dinah pouted at Tony. "Or at least a threatening look with knuckle-cracking. Think I could take him in a fight?"

"Of course you could! Don't hurt him!" Tony said. He sighed. "We just started working things out. Please don't screw it up for me."

"Awwww. Okay, okay. I swear I won't. Next time I see him. But that can wait." She grinned at him a little. "So did you already threaten Jaime, or is this something I can warn him about?"

Tony scratched the back of his head. "Toads might've been mentioned," he admitted.
