Office Hours, All day Thursday

[mouthy_merc]

After spending the rest of the night wandering around town after his date because he didn't want to go home and walk in on Yuki and Cotton Candy having sex on the kitchen table or something, Deadpool was tired.

So tired, in fact, he was sleeping on his desk as he waited for his new minions to show up.

Good thing he's such a light sleeper that someone coming in his office would wake him up.

Rikku waved enthusiastically. "Heya! I got your message on the phone. I think you're my mentor?" She scratched her head. "Did I do something wrong?"

Deadpool sat up and stretched a little. "Yup! That would be me!"

He paused. "No. Not unless you did something. Did you do something?"

[the_merriest]

"Nope!" Rikku grinned. "Well, not recently, anyway. And I returned all of it. Most of it."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Most of what?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled nervously and fidgeted. "Funny story! So, I turned into a fairy for a weekened, right, and I guess everyone else was weird that weekend, because my roommate was, too, although she wasn't a fairy, she was just - you know. Weird. But I kinda flew around in this cute little outfit and I swiped stuff from people. Mostly pocket change and shiny bits and then on Monday I was me again, full size! I mean not that I'm very big, you know, but compared to fairy size? HUGE. But I got most of the change back to people but it's kinda hard cause I didn't pay attention to who I took what from cause I think I wasn't really me. Mostly. But some of it I've still got so I'm sorry about that but yeah."

She took a deep breath. After all that, she needed one.

Deadpool blinked a few times, taking all that in.

"...those are one heck of a set on lungs."

"Thank you!" Rikku bounced. "So what's all this about flying cars?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

It was like talking with a female version of Shuichi. So very random.

"In the future, flying cars. You know, like in those wonderfully bad movies on the Scifi channel that star various Canadian 'celebrities'."

[the_merriest]

"Those sound great! So that's why I'm here? For flying cars? And, uh, Canadian celebrities?"

"Is that what you want to be mentored on? Because I can do other things too! I've got mad skillz at Pacman, I could help you with that."

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled. "Awesome! What's Pacman?"

"I don't know. I mean, what am I supposed to be mentored on? I like machinery and things like that, and I'm good at lots of things but most of it's not useful here." She shrugged. "I'm kinda new."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Oh." That explained a lot. "I could help you get used to the strange new world by showing you episodes of Golden Girls!"

[the_merriest]

"Hooray!" Rikku danced a bit. "This mentoring stuff sounds fun!"

"Anything else you can think of? Shooting? Explosives? Swordplay? Sarcastic quips for mid-battle bantering?"

[the_merriest]

"I dunno. Swords and guns aren't really my thing, and the office has all my explosives." She wasn't pouting. Really. "The quips thing could be fun, though."
