Prom 2009 [Town Hall]

Apr 10, 2009 19:04

At some point in the evening, the prom court announcement was made.

After the court dance, the prom continued. Someone managed to spike the punch, there were still shadowy corners and the dance floor was still open to all. The chaperones were still there to keep an eye on things (and might be indulging in some spiked punch themselves).

Still old :D

Fraser was still there and, sigh, still old. He was wise though!

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 10 2009, 23:31:19 UTC

Algren was still there, and still old, and the sharp poke he felt on his ankle meant that he was going to have to make a mad break for it before the inevitable insanity could destroy the prom.

...

He did return a short while later, however, and set up a cardboard box off in the corner, where he was going to hang out until the dance was over, nursing a bottle of the punch which was concealed in a paper bag.

Deadpool eyed him after his return. And wondered if he had any spare change in his pouches for the poor hobo.

"Why do I feel like you should dazzle?"

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 10 2009, 23:52:07 UTC

Nathan snatched at the change, looking more than thankful as he nodded up to Deadpool, thanking him profusely.

"Very good, very good. Dazzle, I can do. I haven't dazzled since 2305, and that was at least a good hundred years ago. Oh! Hold on a moment." He narrowed his eyes and squinted at the coin. "Oh! It's sometime around 2000? Good year, good year. Good food. Good hooch."

He held up the bottle appreciatively. "Want some?"

Crazy timehobo had spoken.

"...I do enjoy hooch," Deadpool admitted, taking a seat next to him by Fort Awesome.

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 11 2009, 00:06:29 UTC

Nathan happily handed him the bottle. Sure, it was really whatever he had managed to steal from the punch bowl, but with the students from this school? It probably had a higher alcohol content than most of the stuff you spent good money on at Caritas, anyhow.

"The one good thing that's come from this time period, if you ask me. Sure, there's TiVo and there's... Other 2000-ish stuff. But the liquor," and that was said with the horrible drunken slur one might expect from an alcoholic hobo who managed to transcend time and space, "the liquor is worth coming back for."

Deadpool was just having fun with someone who talked like HIM in the not making sense. "Gremlin?"

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 11 2009, 00:16:11 UTC

"Hideous car, that," Nathan decided, shaking his head sadly at that. "Until the 23rd century, when they revived the company but really, those could hardly be called cars anymore, could they?"

He laughed heartily and reached for the bottle back. "Not that you would know that, yet. Right, right, of course right, I shouldn't talk about the future, not right now. I'll talk about the future when I get there, and I'll enjoy the hooch of the past." He held up one hand, now donned in a fingerless glove. "Nineteen-twenty. A good year. Except for that whole prohibition thing. That was stupid. Stupid, stupid."

He was shaking his head sadly. Again.

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] mouthy_merc April 11 2009, 00:25:12 UTC

"You're an odd lil' man now, you know that?" Deadpool asked. "And this is coming from the guy who sang along with you to Thriller."

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 11 2009, 00:29:42 UTC

Nathan perked up at that.

"The song? Of course the song. That other thing doesn't exist yet." More laughing. Crazy timehobo laughing. It was kind of scary, but at least he wasn't wearing a dress or hitting on anyone. "Good song, that. I like the 2049 re-release of the song, as covered by Michael Jackson's own disembodied and noseless head better, though."

The future was a fun place, apparently.

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] mouthy_merc April 11 2009, 01:37:13 UTC

Riiiiiiight.

"Hey, do you know anything about babies that may destroy the planet?"

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 11 2009, 01:40:44 UTC

"Well, that depends entirely on your notion of destroying the planet. And babies. Now, I'll tell you, I've smelled diapers through the ages, and while some of them were pretty dangerous, I can't picture any of them destroying much. It's the grown-up babies you have to watch out for, you know. The adults, if you will. Thems are the worst."

He was crazy and he was starting to speak with an accent not unlike a Mary Poppins chimney sweep.

Whether this was because he was seriously losing his mind, or because this was the mysterious and powerful way of the Timehobo, the world might never know.

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] mouthy_merc April 11 2009, 01:42:47 UTC

Deadpool stared at him for a moment. "How about I bring you more booze?"

Re: Chaperones [Prom 09] shiroi_tiger April 11 2009, 01:46:35 UTC

"Oh, that would be mighty kind of you, sir! Mighty kind indeed!"

Don't mind Nathan. He had to take a moment to gnaw on a nickel. To make certain it was real.

Or else he was that hungry. It was very hard to tell with those hobo-types.

Miss Bennet was going to regret asking this. Miss Bennet was going to regret asking this. Miss Bennet --

"Are you ... feeling all right?"
