Campus Beautification Committee: Part Deux

Marty walks back from town, a little confused as to how he ended up at Chaucer's last night. He remembers going for a walk with Rory.... but nothing after that.

His confusion is left behind when he sees the mess that happened last night.

"Jesus Parker! What the hell did you do this for?! It's Parent's Weekend!"

At which point he hears the giggles coming from the walls and the air vents. Marty's eyes narrow into a squint. Gremlins. Damn them. Damn them all.

Marty goes to his room and changes into ~~a white tank top and daisy dukes~~ more comfortable clothes, gathers the cleaning buckets, mops.

He also lays out some large tarps in a pattern not unlike a baseball diamond.

No reason why they can't have fun while they clean...

((OOC: Help clean up the mess! Find a Gremlin? You get to play Gremlin baseball))

Brushes, mops, cleaning supplies. Grab 'em and get to work.

Bring something to smash a gremlin if you think of it.

Got a gremlin? Bring 'em here and we'll have a little fun.

To help ease off nervous energy before the arrival of the parental unit, John decides to help clean up.

He grabs a mop and some soap and water and begins mopping at the paint.

"Art classes seem to really be paying off," he says with a laugh.

"Freakin' gremlins. Need to get an exterminator is what we need." Marty says as he scrubs away at some paint.

"Gremlins who can paint." John shudders a bit. "This place gets weirder and weirder. I find the gremlins cooking in the cafetera well that...would be perfectly normal for this place."

"Maybe the Chef really is just a puppet being manipulated by a Gremlin. Explains the accent."

"Oh man," John says, hitting a particularly thick area of paint, "Telling my father about gremlins and locker 327 and Rover and the principal should be...interesting. I'm gonna be in therapy for the rest of my life."

"So your Dad's coming huh? Well he'll see Rover in all his glory tonight because he's monitoring check-in. Any good excuse you want me to give him? I'll be busy making up excuses for everyone. Except for the SG crowd. They seem used to that kind of thing."

John nods slowly. "Yeah, my dad's coming. And I'm excited! Can't you see the excitement on my face," John says, pointing at the thin, forced smile he's just pasted on his face. "I'd use the old 'in locker 327' excuse but he might come after me. Could always tell him you can't find my name on the roster, delay him a little so I can hide or prepare or something."

Marty chuckles. "Well if he packs a gun, do you think he might have an issue giving it up? Then we can just let Rover take care of the issue."

"Last time I checked, he didn't carry a gun. His ego's enough," John grouses. "Anyone coming for you?"

"Lucky as I am to have the dysfunctional family from hell, I will not be entertaining any family members of any kind. I think I'll be busy enough making sure that no one gets eaten by the squid, bitten by gremlins or eat any tainted food."

Wearing ~~actual~~ completely (http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8707/menspant058ox.jpg) different (http://img450.imageshack.us/img450/4737/mensshirt080ij.jpg) clothing to normal, Callisto wanders up to the roof sometime after Ethics class. "Hey, Marty."

Marty is currently spraying off some paint off the wall with a water hose.

"Hey Callisto. Going for a new look?"

Sam walks up, carrying the gremlin she somehow managed to subdue (http://www.livejournal.com/users/carter_i_am/19753.html).

"I hear you're accepting gremlin donations?"

Marty grins.

"Do you want to pitch or go at bat?"

Callisto grimaces. "My sponsor is not very big on the whole warrior woman look. Especially considering the 'cut' of my armour. I'm trying to avoid a lecture or three."

Picking up a mop and twirling it like a staff, Callisto looks around the roof. "So this is what all that noise was about last night."

Sam looks down at the gremlin in her arms, who is now drooling with happiness and practically comatose. "I'm not sure. It drank an entire bottle of caffeinated sugar syrup and then had an atomic fireball."

"I guess I'll pitch."

John grimaces. "I'd...forgotten about the squid. Ugh. Think the zombies will turn up? My dad hated the PTA when I was a kid. I can't wait to see how he handles this. Lucky you about the family but you sound like you're gonna be busy as hell anyway."

"Sugar syrup? This could be messier than usual."

Marty grabs a large trash bag and pokes out holes for his head and arms and throws it over him. He then picks up his cricket bat and assumes the traditional stance at home plate.

"Batter up."

"Damn gremlins. Someone has to pay for feeding them after midnight. Who's your 'sponsor'?"

Sam grinned and took her position on the "mound." She looked for runners on first and third, and, satisfied, she took a pitcher's stance.

She nodded at an imaginary catcher's sign, then threw the gremlin at Marty.

Marty rolls his eyes.

"All apart of being an elected official, but I plan to have at least a little fun this weekend." he says with a little smirk.

Marty swings and makes a solid hit. Goo sprays everywhere, but is caught on the tarp.

Not sure how much hits Carter though.

"Oooo. That was a juicy one."

"Yuck." Sam puts a hand to her hair, and then to her cheek. They're both covered in gremlin slime.

She smiles and is very glad she has not yet showered. "Next time, you get to pitch. I didn't know they'd do that."
