Newbie Meet N' Greet

Meet n' Greet, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat! Unfortunately, the newbie meet and greet takes place the same time the command staff is congregating, so they might be a little late to the party.

But the crew is there to welcome the newcomers and explain their situation. At the end of the milling and spilling about, the command staff is going to start a general meeting to apprise everyone of their situation and discuss their next course of action:

Getting off the damn ship.

"I'm...sorry what?" Buffy blinks, taking a step back, partially coz she's afraid he's going to do that screaming thing again and partially because...stalker? What?

"Uh. I'm not...stalking anybody. Or anything. There's not a stalkery bone in this body. Well, okay, except for that time with Ford, but I was like a kid and so didn't know any better!"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I mean, you're like Wendy! Wendy the Werewolf Stalker!"

Okay, Kon, calm down. Caaalm down. Don't freak Wendy the girl out.

He takes a deep breath and calms himself down. Marginally. He still sounds a bit like a teenie squealing over Hannah Montana though.

"So we found out from Stacy, the ship, that a lot of stuff we think is fiction is real somewhere? In a different dimension? Like, some people recognize Robin--but never me, which kinda sucks, even if they recognize the S--wait I'm getting off topic."

Deep breaths, deep breaths, Kon.

"And there's a show! In my world about this girl who's the latest in a line of girls chosen to fight the darkness, and she fights werewolves and demons and other nasty creatures of the night. With a scythe." In a tube top. But he leaves that out.

He flails slightly. "I mean, this is like--do you have something you used to really love watching? Imagine finding out they were real somewhere in another dimension or at least someone like 'em is."

"..."

"..."

"!!!"

Buffy needs to sit. Somewhere. Anywhere. And she needs a drink. An iced mocha from the Espresso Pump or something.

Except for where the Espresso Pump was sucked into the Earth and I'm like a billion miles away from a...is there a Starbucks on this place? Gotta remember to ask that later.

"Uh...I'm...Buffy. The Vampire Slayer? And that story's like...I need to be getting royalties off of...uh. Did she date a couple of hairy werewolves that had a soul or something?"

What?! She's intrigued! She's like a celebrity somewhere!

Okay, not her exactly.

But still!

"Yes! There was the broody, tormented one, and then the Scottish one that started evil, but turned good eventually..."

He's still flailing.

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Spike was Scottish?!" Buffy asks incredulously. "No, wait. Was there any chance he was played by Gerard Butler and I was played by, oh, I don't know, Kristen Bell?" Buffy shook her head. "Wait, I'm getting off topic here. I think. This is too...weird."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Kon finally succeeds in calming down. Mostly.

"Do you think--?"

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
"..."

Blink blink blink.

This was almost better than the golden umbrella toy surprise from prom.

"Umm. Sure?"

Shrugging it off, he hands her it, and--

There's a giant S-shield on the back. Like Superman's S-shield.

So apparently this guy's a giant fanboy nerd. That happens to look a lot like a younger version of Superman.

And can fly.

Buffy just...stares at the jacket.

And then she looks at the boy.

And then down at the jacket again.

And then back at the boy.

Okay, so he doesn't look like Tom Welling. But there's something...

Wait.

Xander's comic book collection.

The books from way back when...and...and the 'super thing'.

Oh...oh god. Buffy needs to sit down like yesterday.

"Superboy has a fanboy crush on me?"

Kon nearly lets out another one of those squeals, but he's trying to be manful about this now.

"You...you actually recognize me? Instead of Robin?"

Someone from another world finally recognize him, and not just as "that guy that looks like Superman"!

And it's another world's WENDY!

"One of my best friends is into comic books and...uh...okay, down boy."

This is all kinds of surreal.

At this point, she's waiting for the man with the cheese to pop up and offer her some.

No, but she does get another teenager in a leather jacket, one with a rather iconic "X" logo on it. He looked at Buffy and gave her a bit of a confused look, then looked at Kon.

"Dude, what the hell is with you? You've been making high-pitched noises and bouncing around for the last five minutes."

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
In the presence of another guy, Kon immediately tries to stop bouncing and squealing, because you really can't squeal like a teenage girl around your guy friends.

"This is Buffy. She's a Vampire Slayer, like a real version of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker, from the TV show back home. It's, y'know." He shrugs casually, as if he wasn't just squealing about it thirty seconds ago, and slicks back his hair. "Cool."

And then he ruins the whole thing by blurting out, "And she recognizes me! From--"

He pauses. "Wait."

Turning back to Buffy, he looks very disappointed.

"Comic books, seriously? That's kinda basement-dwelling nerdy. No movies? No TV show with some good-looking actor guy playing me on the BW? Not even a cartoon?"

He had his comic, once upon a time. You know, the one that was canceled at issue 100.

...That was his favorite. Yeah, his favorite. Anyway, he had his comic, but it was just the ONE and he didn't read any other one before that or after. Because comics are for nerds.

Julian looked back and forth between Kon and Buffy.

"Is that like Sarah the Mummy Hunter? Where's it about some hot blonde high school chick and her friends who run around fighting, well... mummies, but also demons and--"

...wait.

"Someone made a comic about you?"

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
"People around here've said in other worlds they've made movies and stuff about Robin and Bats and Superman, and all, so I guess my world is fair game for that--but so far she's the first one that knows of one made specifically about me."

Disappointment.

"But it's a comic! That's kinda lame. Chicks don't read comics."

After extricating himself from Cissie, Bart went to see if he could figure out where Lobo had vanished off to.

But then he saw Kon talking to some people and ran over to them instead. He could find Lobo later.

"I read comics," he said, halting next to them. "Hi, Kon. Hi... other people." He looked at the girl and tilted his head. "You look kinda familiar."

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sarah the....Mummy Hunter?" Buffy blinked. "Oh, god, what? Is this going to lead to some Crisis of Infinite Chosen Ones?" And yet? That's so...cool. "Uh. Sorry, Superboy. I mean, there's Smallville...but you're kind of obviously not...Tom...Welling." Buffy looked at Julian, noting the X on his costume, and then she looked at...what was his name? Flashboy? No...Inertia? No, that wasn't right either... uh....

"So...do you." She looks back at Julian. "And so does that X on your che...have I been transported into a comic book?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Bart?"

It's Bart.

"Bart!"

Before Impulse moves again, he gets a kind of half tackle, with Kon mussing up that mop top he calls hair.

"The last time I saw you you'd disappeared into the--aannnd I probably shouldn't spoiler you on the future, should I."

Wait a second. Smallville? How do they--okay, he'll worry about that later. But when she asks her question, he looks at himself, the speedster, and the young X-Man, and says: "What would make you think that?"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Bart laughed and gave him a sort of excited half-hug back. "Hi Kon! Disappearing where? Did you see Cissie's here? She hugged me too! And Lobo but he didn't hug mewhichisprobablygoodcauseifLobostartedgivinghugsI'dthinkitwaslikethatmoviewithpodpeopleorsomething." He took a quick breath and shook his head a little to remind him to speak so the slow people could understand him too. "It'd be cool to be transported into a comic book! Who's Tom Welling? Did you know there are tentacles here? And goo?"

Blink.

Blink blink blink.

Blink.

"Are...you on a sugar high or is this natural?"

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-10-03 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Julian had very much the same reaction. Who the hell was this kids?

"Friend of yours, Kon?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"On of my best friends. Just a little younger than I last remember him, I guess since the ship's been yoinking us from different times."

Bart squirms out of his grasp, and Kon makes multiple attempts to snag him, but misses every time.

"He's--" Miss. "A--" Miss. "Speedster." Dammit. "You don't ever wanna see him on a sugar high, though, even though it lasts all of point-two seconds anyway."

Wait a second. "Bart, slow down! What's this about Lobo?"

Aw, crap. Just what they need. (Mind you, he's thinking of older Lobo...)

"He's here too! He went to go to the head, whatever that means. I like sugar," Bart said, pausing for a second to grin. "Woah, you got a big scythe!" he said, turning to the girl. "I'm Impulse." And all of a sudden, he was wearing Kon's jacket and doing his best impression of Kon, down to the posture and facial expression. "Actually, I'm Superimpulse."

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
"..." Eyes wide, she looked at Kon before looking back at Bart. "Impulse...sounds like the right name for you. Even all, um, supered out." She looked back at Kon and Julian. "What's a Lobo?"

Julian looked just as lost.

"The hell if I know."

He shrugged, then held his hand out for Buffy. "I'm Julian, by the way."
