Today there were no Pez-flavored bricks. There was once again a Xander, and there were poles ( Read more... )

Who has his laptop open when he's not putting poles together, and seems to be studiously studying... something. Not that he's going to let you get a look at what.

It was morning and stuff was happening in the park. Coffee in hand, Murdock wandered over, deciding to bug the guy who seemed to be in charge. "How's it goin' so far?"

Re: Talk to Xander needsaparrot June 5 2008, 15:00:57 UTC

Xander looked up and quickly half-closed his laptop screen. "Nobody's eaten any of the supplies or managed to summon demons with 'em, so at least they're following directions so far."

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 15:05:02 UTC

"Eating the supplies would be bad," he agreed. "Not mention possibly painful. Demons? Is that really a risk while builing..." he glanced at the supplies, "swing sets?"

He noted the quick hiding of the computer screen. Interesting.

Xander nodded. "You'd be surprised the kind of crap you can accidentally call up by putting stuff in the wrong place at the wrong time and being dumb enough to speak foreign languages in front of the wrong book."

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 15:50:59 UTC

Murdock tried not to stare. Boggling even. "I'll...keep that in mind." Note to self; never speak any foreign language in front of any books ever again. Even if they were just comic books.

"So...you the foreman here?" A nice change of topic would be ... nice.

"More or less. Constable Fraser and I are trading it off." Xander stood and held out his hand. "Xander Harris. Carpentry, construction, sarcastic banter and occasional demon slaying. The banter's free."

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 16:53:20 UTC

"HM Murdock," he shook Xander's hand. "Teacher, pilot, crazy comments, freelance people assistance work." He wasn't just going to own up to being a merc to everyone he met, you know. "The crazy comes and goes."

Re: Talk to Xander needsaparrot June 5 2008, 17:00:14 UTC

"Freelance people assistance - I like that." Xander grinned. "Might have to steal it."

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 17:34:58 UTC

"Have at," he grinned back. "Not like it's patented or anything."

Re: Talk to Xander needsaparrot June 5 2008, 19:14:11 UTC

"So what do you teach?"

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 20:21:50 UTC

"Flight and Flying. I'm thinkin' about something else for the second term, though."

Re: Talk to Xander needsaparrot June 5 2008, 20:25:06 UTC

"Yeah? I graduated with a guy who used to teach that. He's on his honeymoon now, though." Xander leaned against the picnic table on which his laptop rested. "What're you thinking about doing instead?"

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 20:35:11 UTC

Murdock sipped at his coffee, then nodded. "Yah. I thought I was some kind of sub. Didn't ever catch his name or anything."

"The rest of it?" How to say running a class about the mercanary business without stating you're one yourself? Well, it was bound to come out sooner or later, especially once the class started up. "Merc'n. Or rather, how to get by or survive the business."

(edited because I have crappy grammar. d'oh!)

Re: Talk to Xander needsaparrot June 5 2008, 21:04:15 UTC

"Anakin," Xander answered, "Skywalker. Merc like mercenary, like go fight people's wars for money?" He wasn't sure what he thought about that; might depend on just what your standards were for taking a job.

Re: Talk to Xander crazypilotman June 5 2008, 21:11:50 UTC

"Skywalker. I'll have to remember that. Yah, mercenary. But not necessarily just workin' for anybody. Well, I don't anyway. Some do," he gave a slight shrug. "That's up to them. But there's other applications for the class too, not just wantin' to be a merc. Knowing how to scope out your surroundings, figurin' out who the real bad guys are...could be useful for wannabe cops too." Not that he had anything personal against the authorities. He did respect the work they did, honestly. He just didn't like the way they chased after his friends all the time.
