May 9th- Jubilee's office

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:49 pm

Stan knocked politely before entering.

"What's up?" he asked, carrying some student essays.

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:52 pm

Zeryn appeared in the hall outside as well, peeking in. "Excuse me, I believe you... sent for me?" he said, his tone conveying just what a privilege it was to have him respond to a summons.

by **Tommy More** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:54 pm

"Hello?" Tommy asked, following in behind them.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:57 pm

"Thank you for coming, gentlemen." Jubilee said "If you'd care to sit down..." she said, motioning to a small conference table in one corner of her office "We've been contacted about a rather delicate situation, and I thought perhaps you'd be able to help."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:06 pm

Stan looked at the others skeptically.

"So, this isn't classroom related?" he asked, with a sigh.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:12 pm

"I'm afraid not." Jubilee replied "We were contacted today by the head of Paul Oracle Kraken's security detail. Apparently Paul has some vague foreboding about the World Cup, and is requesting a couple of X-men to act as his body guards during the World Cup games. And once the Atlantean giant squid, who has said "That we may address him as Tiny" thats an actual quote, by the way, got wind of this, well, he's got to have his own detachment. I realize that you aren't on the teams, exactly, but we're stretched kinda thin at the moment."

by **Tommy More** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:17 pm

Tommy just stared, blankly.

"Surely, you can't be serious."

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:18 pm

Zeryn frowned slightly. "Will we... be dealing with the 'oracle kraken' at all?" he asked.

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:18 pm

"Jubilee, no. I'm busy.. and time-travelling to the future was way, way enough danger for me.."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:20 pm

"I assure you, Mr. Moore, I'm quite serious." Jubilee said "You'll be providing security, yes. Your focus will be on the crowd, but I'm sure there will be some interaction." she looked at Stan "Please, this isn't going to be dangerous. This is purely a PR thing."

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:22 pm

"Perhaps," Zeryn suggested, "We could simply... eliminate the giant squid? Then there would be no need for the security detail."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:26 pm

"Excuse me?" Jubilee said, looking at Zeryn in disapproving surprise.

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:27 pm

"It would eliminate the danger," Zeryn went on. "Then this 'Paul' would not need to be protected!"

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:29 pm

Stan still looked incredibly skeptical.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:29 pm

"Do you care to explain that?" Jubilee asked "Paul doesn't know the source of the threat, if there really is a threat."

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:30 pm

"Perhaps it's just better to be safe? The squid is a rather... sketchy character, after all."

by **Tommy More** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:32 pm

Tommy,too, looked at Zeryn in surprise.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:32 pm

"Sketchy?" Jubilee asked "I'd been told he was here because the Atlantean government wanted him here."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:44 pm

"We are not killing any octopi or giant squid! No!"

by **John Hino** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:54 pm

"I agree with Stan."

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 11:15 pm

"Oh, it's not like the," Zeryn used a word in Atlantean here, "doesn't have it coming!"

by **Jubilation Lee** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 11:20 pm

"What is your problem with Tiny?" Jubilee asked, starting to think that she'd found the threat.

by **Zeryn** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 11:21 pm

"That the rubbish that blasted squid said about my sister and the dolphins isn't true!" Zeryn answered, probably more emphatically than he'd been aiming for.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:02 am

"So, you'd be happier guarding Paul, yes?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:05 am

Stan gave Jubes a withering glare, indicating she owed him big for this.

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:08 am

"Oh, I'll guard 'Tiny,' that's absolutely fine," Zeryn said, grinning fiercely. "I guarantee that nothing will get into his tank with him." Except him, and all that lovely, lovely water...

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:12 am

"Our goal is to avoid causing a major incident." Jubilee said severely. "Keep this up, and you'll be spending the next month confined to campus."

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:13 am

Zeryn looked a little shocked. "My dear Professor, if I've said anything untoward, I sincerely appologize," he said in an astonished voice.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:16 am

"Apology accepted." Jubilee said "Now, Zeryn, if I send you to guard Paul Oracle Kraken, can you avoid turning him to sashimi? Or causing anything unfortunate to happen to Tiny?"

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:19 am

"I have absolutely no reason to wish any harm on this 'Paul'," Zeryn pointed out, bowing slightly.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:20 am

"And Tiny?"

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:21 am

Zeryn hesitated. "Well, there is a... small matter of... ah..." he coughed so as to muffle it as he said 'blood fued'.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:23 am

Jubilee sighed "Will you promise to wait until after the World Cup is over to challenge him to single combat, or whatever it is you're planning on doing?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:24 am

"Oh, good lord..." Tommy moaned.

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:26 am

"My sister!" Zeryn protested, looking at Tommy. "And dolphins! Do you have any idea what those filthy creatures are like? And my sister is a priestess!"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:28 am

"Well, I can certainly understand defending a sister..."

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:31 am

"See? He gets it!"

by **Stan Bowen** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:36 am

"And I understand sparking an international incident, with the University at the center," Stan said, crossing his arms.

"Like we don't have enough issues with the public already.."

by **Zeryn** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:38 am

"There won't be a guard with him who hasn't fought a duel or outright killed someone over a blood fued," Zeryn scoffed. "However, I will refrain at this time, provided he says nothing more about my family while he is here. Killing a caged animal is rather poor sport."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:46 am

"Thank you for your restraint." Jubilee said dryly. "So, Zeryn is going to be guarding Paul.....who would like to be with him?"
