Faculty Party - Friday Afternoon

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Lorelai was grateful that Bucky took a nap for part of the morning. It gave her plenty of time to transport food from the diner to the teacher's lounge.

She got everything set up and even decorated the lounge so it would be a little more festive. Since it's Lorelai, that means she hung up some balloons and streamers and covered everything with glitter.

Everything was ready in plenty of time and she was sitting on one of the couches giving Bucky a bottle, waiting for people to start showing up.



[wait for ocd have at it!]

Hearing that there was a vast array of new staff, Fraser stopped into the lounge during the staff party to meet those who attended. Of course, he was in uniform and Diefenbaker was at his side.

"Can I pet your wolf?" Abby asked with a smile.

"Of course," Fraser said with a smile. "Feel free, please."

Abby bent over and laid her hand on Diefenbaker's head. "You're a gorgeous one, aren't you." She petted him and grinned up at Fraser. "How old is he? Is it he?"

Re: Meet & Mingle

"It's a he, most definitely," Fraser said and smiled back. "And I'm not sure of his exact age. I found him when he was abandoned but, if I were to guess, I'd say between five and nine years old. Not a very good guess, I know."

"Abandoned? That's horrible." Abby frowned and gave Diefenbaker more scritches. "Who'd want to give up a beauty like you, boy?"

Diefenbaker nuzzled into Abby's hand happily. "Someone very short sighted, it seems. I was very lucky to find him."

"Good afternoon." Mary says to Diefenbarker, "Both of you." She says to Fraser.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon to you as well," he said with a nod. "Benton Fraser, head of security. Pleasure to meet you.:

"Mary Poppins, I teach Cross Species Communications." Mary nodded back. Then she addressed Dief directly. "And what is your name?"

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Diefenbaker barked once and then twice more before looking up at Mary expectantly.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[spit-spot.livejournal.com]

"A pleasure to meet you as well Diefenbaker." Mary smiled down at him.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Diefenbaker barked and wagged his tail happily. "Cross Species Communication? Is that what it sounds like?"

John took note of the uniform. "Nice wolf," he said.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Half wolf, actually and thank you kindly," he said. "This is Diefenbaker. Benton Fraser," he introduced and offered his hand.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"John Winchester." John shook the proffered hand, then seeing Deifenbacker watching him, held his hand out to the half wolf to sniff.

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Diefenbaker sniffed at John's hand before leaning closer to possibly get scritched.

"Good to meet you, Mr. Winchester," Fraser said. "New faculty member?"

Re: Meet & Mingle

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Yes," John replied, obligingly scratching behind Diefenbaker's ears. "I teach Hunting."

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser nodded. "General hunting?"

Finally getting into the swing of meeting people, Aziraphale wandered over toward the young man in the uniform and offered his hand.

"Good afternoon! I'm Aziraphale, the new Prophecy teacher."

Re: Meet & Mingle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon to you as well, Mr. Aziraphale," Fraser said. "Constable Benton Fraser, head of school security."

Re: Meet & Mingle

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Oh! I didn't realize the school had security. That's good though," Aziraphale added quickly, not wanting to sound as if he was putting down Fraser's position. "What with the zombies and jello dragons and all. Quite."

Okay, so the angel's social skills were a little hit and miss at times.

[ooc: No worries!]

Fraser smiled and said, "Despite all the oddities at the school, most of my work comes from routine school occurrences. Fights, arguments, unruly students, truancy, and the like. The oddities are just...another part of the position."

Re: Meet & Mingle

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale looked surprised. "Really? Do you often have trouble with fights and truancy here? They seem like such a nice group of young people. I can't imagine they cause you very much difficulty."

Obviously, he'd been a little sheltered thus far from the mischief a school full of teenagers could get up to.

"Thankfully, it's not too common," he assured. "And I'm very happy about that. While there have been some infrequent situations of that nature, the students are really quite well behaved."
