Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was in his office tinkering with his three-dimension map of his galaxy between emails to John. The Dantooine system had gone all blurry on him.

The door was propped open and Tatooine cantina music was playing.

Ooooh, a ringing phone.

[sith_happened]

Anakin pounced. "Hey, you," he said.

"Hi!" Rory said brightly. "How's my dog?"

[sith_happened]

"He's working on his novel," Anakin told her, grinning.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"And in his spare time?"

[sith_happened]

"Learning Turkish," Anakin said. "How are you? Have you decided on your classes yet?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, and I have a perfectly normal freshman workload," she replied. Normal for her, anyway. "Guess what?"

[sith_happened]

"What?" Anakin asked, smiling into the phone. "And don't think you're going to distract me from asking how many classes you think is normal."

"Dean's getting married."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose heard the music and decided to venture in to return the favor but stopped short when she saw the three dimensional map. "I've seen this before but it's still impressive."

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned over at her. "Thanks. Dantooine's out of focus and I haven't figured out why quite yet."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Have you tried the focusing amplifiers?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin held them up with a pleased smile. "Very good," he praised.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose laughed, "Really? There's a thing called focusing amplifiers? I just spouted the first techno jargon I kept hearing alien scientist kept spouting."

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "In that case, well done."

"See? Travellin' can be educational!" She looked at the star system and touched the nearest planet. "I have this thing I did... oh, a long time ago. I can barely remember but I keep havin' these vague feelings about havin' the power to hold suns and planets in my hand."

She held the planet as if to demonstrate but she had an unfocused look to her eyes. As if she was looking faraway.

[sith_happened]

Anakin felt the hair on the back of his neck try to stand up. "Do you now?" he asked, sounding casual and feeling anything but.

Deadpool was in a bad mood. It happened when you found out that you had someone in your head for half a month, watching you go about your life.

Nate was clearly a pervert.

So he wandered down the hall to pester Anakin. Because he could. "You wouldn't happen to have any alcohol stashed away in here, would you? I used to have some in my office, but then it was blown up by aliens so..."

[sith_happened]

"School's been in session for a week and I had a student ask me for advice about his love life," Anakin replied. "Of course I have alcohol. Come in."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Send 'em to Aly next time," Deadpool told him knowingly. "That's what I did when one of my kids asked what a dildo was."

[sith_happened]

Anakin choked, then waved his hand towards the bottle of whiskey and two glasses he had hidden away in a cabinet. "He wanted to know if getting warm around his girlfriend meant he was allergic. What are they teaching kids today?"

He poured the glasses full. "And by 'they' I mean 'the members of the faculty who aren't us.'"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Pulling up his mask with a practiced ease, Deadpool downed the glass quickly. Oh yeah, burny fun times there. "Clearly nothing good. Haven't we had, like, three sex ed classes so far? Shouldn't these kids know by now? They're teens! They should be going at it like bunnies on Viagra!"

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "Except for my granddaughter, of course. Because then I'd have to smite things."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Aww, I get that way with my minions," Deadpool replied fondly. "Scared one kid so badly with threats of duct tape and explanations of just what can be done with a small knife and an hours worth of time." He frowned. "But that was when he was possessed or something. Got very grabby with my lil' minion Rikku."

[sith_happened]

Anakin went on point. "Someone got grabby with Rikku?"
