William G. Rupture University, St. Louis: Psychology 103

Francine was reading over her homework as she wandered into the classroom, which made for a decent student but a bad pedestrian: oof - she'd walked right into someone's back. "Oh! Sorry sorry sorry!"
"What the-- oh, Francine." The pissed-off tone changed rapidly when its owner realized exactly which soft things had smacked into his back. "Hey, how you doin'?"
"Freddie? What're you doing here? You're not in Child Psychology." Though that gave Francine weird mental images of Freddie Femur trying to out-argue some hyper-genius 12-year-old lawyer in a courtroom...and losing.
"No, I was just, ah." He shrugged, then grinned a you got me, officer grin. "Following your hot T.A. Might'a got a little distracted."
Color Francine really confused now. "Our hot T.A....Mark? Oh God, we brought it with us from Fandom. Everybody I know everywhere is g--"
Luckily for Freddie's questionable manhood and unquestionable lack of tact, he never heard the end of that sentence. "That hot T.A., Peters." He pointed toward the lectern, then after a brief appreciative stare, looked back at Francine. "Sheesh, how could you not notice her for the first month of classes?" His gaze slid down from her face. Oh yeah. "Right, never mind, you're a girl. You wouldn't get it."
Oh, Francine got it. Now that she'd looked. The girl didn't exactly scream hard to get. "I didn't notice her because I've never seen her before."
The glasses might have said librarian, but the leather skirt, low-cut black sweater, and hair down to her butt said sexy librarian. "Hi, kids; I'm Rachel Hampton. Mark had to head home due to some unfortunate medical issues, so I'll be your teaching assistant for the rest of the semester. Professor Walsh is going to be about fifteen minutes late due to a meeting, so go ahead and leave your assignments with me, and have yourself a study-break until he gets here."
Francine pushed gently past a gooey-eyed Freddie with a shake of her head, dropped her paper on the desk, then headed back to find herself a seat. Mark had been more her kind of eye candy, but at least this meant she had some free time today to catch up on some of the messages she'd missed while they were in Camelot. Starting with a reply that just said //OMG, girl!!!! Those PICTURES!//

That would be Dinah facepalming.

Helena sent them to you 2? ZOMG.

Dinah was currently waiting her turn to ride in the go-kart and have her picture taken, so she had plenty of texting time here.

Monday! I'm undercover. Runway competition. Trying to find who cut ropes, etc.

I posed with a crocodile!


That was the high point so far.

Just the fish he had for lunch!

Dinah would've been much less okay with Oscar if they'd fed him a bunny. Or a P.A.

So far. Ginevra kept squeaking around him. Oy.

Dinah stopped to snap a picture of Ginevra, and then the Go Kart she was six people back from getting to drive.

WHEEE!

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
You rock the mostest. Also totally true. Because seriously, in person, Ginevra was intimidating. Partly because she looked like a cross between Morgana and an alien.

Wind in our hair, action shots, yadda. Actual runway stuff is tomorrow. So far, just a lot of mostly nice girls having much fun.

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely! The heels are 5" tall! And about one-quarter inch thin! Seriously, it might take TK to keep her on those.

Dinah stopped, then frowned. Wha s;dlkf/

The go-kart carrying Lena wasn't stopping. It was accelerating, way faster than a Go-Kart should go. And heading for the ornamental fountain, Lena screaming at the top of her lungs.

Dinah was already running, frantically looking around for something to use to stop the Go-Kart, and texting:

ee11! from accidentally hitting the buttons.

Then sending one of the barriers shifting into the way of the Go-Kart with telekinesis, and yanking hard on the Go-Kart to hold it in place--

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
The Go-Kart hit the barriers, at much less speed, and tipped over, spilling Lena to the ground (mostly) un-hurt. Crying, the girl scrambled out of the frame, and Dinah let go of the Kart. Which spun its wheels threateningly as Lena was helped away by a P.A. and one of the designers, babbling in Russian.

Dinah looked around the crowd, trying to see someone acting... suspiciously? Somehow?

Oh, hello, person with remote. She started to make her way around the crowd, and pulled out her buzzing phone to hide her sneaking around:

Bad guy remote-controlled Go-Kart! TK'd it into barrier. Model OK. IN PURSUIT

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry! Sorry Sorry! Dinah stopped to admire one of the sets, and try to sneak up on the person with the suspicious-looking control thingy in their hand--

And then a bunch of set guy started moving the potted palms by on a pallet, and she had to stop, and wait, nodding to them, nothing to see here, nope....

ARGH GETTING AWAY ARGH

GENIUS! No curtains, but have craft table!

The craft table in question skidded and fell over into the path of the suspected saboteur as soon as Dinah had a clear line of sight.

...and the saboteur dropped the remote, tumbling into a group of bystanders-- then shoving through them.

NOOOOOOO!

Even with practice running in heeled boots, it wasn't the same as running in *real* high-heels, and by the time Dinah got around the mess she'd created, the saboteur was .... who knows where. Looking like who knows what.

Dinah sat down (man, her feet were killing her), then had to laugh, and hugged herself for a second.

Very unhappy Viking. *yells like me*

*HUG BACK* Aww, thanks. At least no 1 hurt? Crimefighting harder in heels. Must practice.

... sorry I freaked you during class?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
WAY WAY. Ooo, I could bruise them! Maybe a puncture wound even.

Somewhere, Parker had a moment of intense deja vu she couldn't blame on anything at all.

Meanwhile, Dinah kicked said heels off, and wandered back to where the models were being shepherded elsewhere, since the Go-Kart was a complete wreck.

Next time I'll be ready! What else New W/ U?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooo! Wait. Giant real Giant? Or Big W/ Creepy?

Either was Very Bad. She was going to have to cross examine someone about that.

Someone else. Francine was getting it right now.

U OK?????

Somewhere, Arthur was surprised at the royalty payment to the treasury, briefly.

YAY GOOD. No burning, damnit. Dinah may have had issues with that.

Merlin's nice boss? *Why?*

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, beyond words, but not beyond buttons. Everything turn out okay? How?

I am not visiting there until Arthur's stupid father is dead.


Yeah, never show that to Arthur. Even if he'd vehemently agree.

Yeah, there would be Stern Words about that. Best not to go there. For Camelot is a silly place.

Law & Order:SUV would be proud of you guys.

EEP! Morgana kicked him out a window?


Hey, logical conclusion, there.

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Either way, glad you guys are alive and not scorched.

Back home being stalked by Clueless Girl down the hall now?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome!

And you and Katchoo are still yay?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yaaaay!

Dinah bounced, almost consoled a bit about losing a saboteur. Almost.

Visit here soon? Promise no kidnappings!

Now who's tempting fate?

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not!

Dinah might actually keep this one... although she'd still lie badly about it when inevitably confronted.

Just let me know when you're sick of that stupid Arch.
