James is what we'll call restlessHe may not look it, as he's staring directly out the Observation Window without moving a muscle, but then staring at a perpetually moving light display is one of the last refuges of boredom, isn't it? So he's at the table by the Observation Window, the one he hasn't sat in for a while, the one he used to smoke at

"As lovely as the view is outside, there are so many better things you can be doing with your time right now."

Sarah Jane plops into a seat across from him, notebook and Say True issue in hand.

[callitavesper]

He grins and looks away from the Window to her. "I can think of one."

[his_sarah_jane]

She tries to hide the grin, rolling her eyes and shaking her head at him instead, but the grin still persists to tug at the corner of her lips. "And aside from that?"

[callitavesper]

"What did you have in mind?"

Because no, he really can't think of anything aside from that.

[song_tra_bong]

Speaking of cards, there's one waving a hand in front of his face.

It's possible James hasn't blinked in a while.

[callitavesper]

That is because he is an android, yo. Like Haley Joel Osment in A.I.: Artificial Intelligence.

It is also possible that James sees the hand and is not blinking on purpose.

[song_tra_bong]

It's possible she's noticed one of those two possibilities.

Hence she flicks James in the temple with her fingernail.

To test his android nature, no doubt, since she lacks a magnet.

[callitavesper]

Nope, he totally fails at an android this time. He blinks rapidly and moves his head back an inch.

“Ow.”

[OOC: Oh, I have to reply to this. Poor fellow's in such a state, and I have just the chance to mess with him a bit.]

James Bond does not know Spider Nancy, son of Anansi. They've never met, never seen each other, and haven't even been in the same place and time by coincidence...until now. There would be no significant reason for Mr. Bond to pay Spider any mind...except for the fact that he's Spider...which is usually good enough. But in this case, with the son-of-a-god dressed in stylish black clothes, carrying a cane and doffing a top hat. He begins to resemble, no VERY MUCH RESEMBLES, a sort of ghost from James' past.

Cue Spider walking by, humming to himself as he takes a table nearby and orders a drink. It would be very hard to distinguish him from the Baron Samedi, the voodoo magician. Unaware of this fact, Spider sets out merely to enjoy the evening.

[callitavesper]

It would be, if he ever encountered the Baron Samedi. Unfortunately, due to the wonders of fucked up timelines and rebooted canons, he hasn't.

James does, however, give the man’s attire a curious raised eyebrow. Top hat and cane--he doesn't see that too often, anywhere.

[OOC: Mind if I pull out an Ian Fleming book?]

Yes, timeline screw-ups are a real pain...assuming you've had one. Actually, since time erases all wounds, and everything that disagrees with it, you don't feel a thing, because it was another you that suffered. In any case, Spider places his hat on his cane and stands it upright - as in, standing on end without support - before attending to the motion at hand. Spider's world had an ethereal law. He was one of the only type who could tap it, but there we are. So, when something odd comes up in, say, a deck of ordinary playing cards, you start to wonder. Spider was playing Solitaire with Jokers. All Jokers.

[callitavesper]

[ ooc: not at all! ]

James sits up straighter, now peering over Spider’s table, brows furrowed. As strange as this place is, he hasn’t met too many people with heavy strange content all by themselves.

[cursedrider]

"S'fascinatin' ain't it?"

This from the man assuming that the guy is just as captivated by the window as he is.

[callitavesper]

"Mmm." Noncommittal.

Yup, that's his answer.

[cursedrider]

Johnny's in a good mood! This means he's not going to take noncommital.

Raising an eyebrow, he shakes his head and jams his hands in his pockets. If people don't appreciate the view, what's this world coming to?

[callitavesper]

James glances at Johnny sidelong, slightly raising one of his eyebrows.
