"Right, so." Duke sipped from a mug, leaning casually against the teacher's desk at the front of the room. "Who all was randomly a kid this weekend?" He raised his free hand and looked around to see if anyone else did, too. "If you're new around here, that kind of shit just . . . happens. I've been a kid twice now. And a teenager once. And a woman for awhile. And a bird. . . ." He trailed off and shook his head. "Fandom seems pretty determined to fuck with your sense of self. I'm pretty sure it's for laughs, but uh. Hey. Maybe sometimes we can learn a little something about ourselves while we're at it."

He sipped his drink again, and tried to find some example to use from the weekend that wouldn't reveal too much of the inner workings of his life. He gave up with a shake of his head.

"Or maybe we don't. Anyway. Discussion time: if you were trying to put together a go-bag -- that's a bag of essentials that you can grab quickly in an emergency -- for Fandom, what would you put in it to help deal with half the population of the island suddenly being pre-pubescent? For those who aren't aware, Fandom actually handles the clothes on this one." He waved his free hand. "Discuss."

Not as yourself

Faye Valentine

What could you put in a Fandom go-bag to prep for wee!tinies? Juice boxes? Toddler leashes?

Migraine pills?

"A flask," Faye said immediately. "A child-proof one."

She had not been a small child this weekend, no, which was a good thing for everyone, but especially good for Faye herself.

"Yeah, that's probably a gimme for anything Fandom throws at you," Duke said with a nod. He sipped his drink. "And a bonus bottle of rum for the squirrels."

It's not like Duke is working very hard at establishing any kind of order in here. If you all want to make this a social hour, he is not going to object.

The contents of his mug are not kid-friendly, no.

Neither were the contents of the glass pictured in his incoming text, as Octavia sent him a photo of her first successful Jack Rose of the evening.

It was an important update!

looks delicious, Duke texted back. you make it yourself?

With guidance from Tiny but yeah. Are you proud?

... Did that come off sincere where there wasn't a drawled tone to go with it?

Duke knew better than to read too much earnestness into it, at least?

so proud! youll have to make me one after class

So youre coming over?

On the other hand, 'pleased' didn't always come through as much as it was felt.

You can walk me home after

I am if you want me to. you can show me your boat

He tended to let the Samsara be her escape-from-all-things-Duke, and was starting to wonder if maybe that had been a mistake.

A fumble, at the very least.

I do want you to

So that was settled.

then Ill see you soon
