Hello Mr. Preston

Feb 20, 2006 12:51

When you're a busy young man with your nose in administrative duties, you have a tendency to zero in on you work. Not on where you may be going. Which is why a serious-looking, tall young man in glasses walks in looking at his notepad and nothing else. He doesn't notice that he hasn't stepped into the Universal Studio headquarters in New York, not ( Read more... )

"Impressive, isn't it?"

A long, cool drink of water in the shape of an attractive redhead appears behind Preston's shoulder with a dry smile. The telepathic pattern of 'wtf?' upon entering the bar is a fairly unmistakeable one.

It's not shameless curiosity that has Dr. Jean Grey paying a visit, she assures herself. There could be security concerns. Really.

"...what?" he says dreamily. He thinks the Observation Window is speaking to him. Considering the things he's seen, it makes a lot of damn sense.

Occam's Razor tends to get a fair workout in Milliways. Anything else is a swift trip to madness.

Jean reaches over to tap him on the shoulder regardless, and repeats her question with a little more information attendent. "Impressive, isn't it? The end of the universe."

Aha, there's someone standing behind him. Preston turns.

:O! There are people here! "Hi," he says. "It's...where am I?" He snaps out of his daze and hops right into an interrogation mode. As close to interrogation as a Hollywood adminstrative assistant can get.

A bird see's this happen. As it is easy from teh rafters.

"The bird comes gliding down resting on the back of the chair on the opposite side of the table. "Are you alright?"

Preston noticed something moving out the corner of his eye. He hasn't registered that it's a bird. A talking bird.

Is the window talking to me? he thinks.

The head tilts from side to side studying the man, "Hello? Are you alright?" flapping her wings to try and get his attention. It is very strange for her to have to try and get a man's attention. It is just another aspect of this form she must get used to.

Now he is idly aware of the flapping of wings. If this is a new special effect by Universal, it's certain to win them many awards and big profits.

Does he know he has a sort of aura of Hollywood?

And doesn't he have any idea that the slightly clumsy-and-geekish ones with high-up connections are the ones (eternally) young actresses like to stick their claws into?

"Are you hurt?" asks Daisy.

honest_preston February 20 2006, 18:52:44 UTC

For two threads, Preston has thought that the window was speaking to him. No more. He recognizes that voice.

"...Daisy Adair?"

Which goes to say that he's looking at her, too.

reapsandcons February 20 2006, 18:59:05 UTC

Daisy's eyes light up.

"The one and only, darling! Normally I'd offer my hand and an introduction, but evidently there's no need. Have we met?"

honest_preston February 20 2006, 19:00:00 UTC

"No. I--I work for Universal Studios." He shoots out his hand. "It's an honor to meet you, Miss Adair!"
