Bond's Office Hours [Monday]

[doubleohblonde]

Much as Bond might have liked to have gone drinking and wenching last night, he had not.

This had not been because of the copious amounts of lace cravats, stockings, and rather silly hats his wardrobe suddenly contained. They mightn't have been to his taste, but he'd worn stranger in his time.

It was because of the long, luxurious, locks he was currently unsuccessfully trying to hack off with a letter opener. A man had his dignity after all.

"They might be working together," Bond suggested.

"Glittery stockings of gay?" It had a nice ring to it. "Sounds like something Dr. Strange would say in a fight."

[doubleohblonde]

"I don't suppose it might be a bad idea to ask if the name is connected to the habit of talking like that?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"No, no, I'm pretty sure it's his actual name." A beat. "And he is a doctor."

[doubleohblonde]

"Really?" Bond asked. "I was under the impression that degrees weren't usually necessary for the title in that line of work."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"But he was an actual mediciney doctor and not one of the fakes with extra schooling."

[doubleohblonde]

"And his patients never felt uncomfortable with someone who'd burst out with lines like that?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"He's also magical," Deadpool added. If that made any difference.

[doubleohblonde]

Not really, no. "Oh, of course, because that makes perfect sense."

"Well, when you're from a place where dying is a minor inconvenience, you just kinda go with the flow on magical doctors who save the world from threats beyond our mortal comprehension."

[doubleohblonde]

"I can see why you might," Bond said, rubbing his temple. "It seems the simpler option."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool just nodded slowly. "You get used to it."

[doubleohblonde]

"Much like travelling islands and wardrobes with a gay agenda, I suppose."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"And the different universes, don't forget that," Deadpool added cheerfully.

[doubleohblonde]

"How could I?" Bond asked with a smile. "There's something of a lack of magical doctors were I'm from."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"And superheros probably." A beat. "And crazy villains." Another beat. "And 'secret' government agencies."

He even did the finger quotes there.

[doubleohblonde]

"Are we talking MI6 levels of 'secret' or crazy conspiracy levels of 'secret'?" Bond asked, also doing the finger quotes.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"The latter," Deadpool replied. "Because MI6 it's totally expected of them to have spies and be all SHIELD-like. The other ones are more experiment on the human genome to create horrors that are unleashed upon the world kinda thing."

[doubleohblonde]

"That doesn't sound particularly...good." Bond grimaced. "They actually get funding for that?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Think of it as an arms race with super powers."

[doubleohblonde]

Bond's grimace got a lot more grimmer. "I see."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...you get used to it," Deadpool added with a shrug. Even though you didn't, really.

[doubleohblonde]

Bond was suddenly much gladder he came from a relatively mundane world. "I can't imagine how."
