Fourth Floor Common Room

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gottahavefaith/]

Faith seems to have found a shrubbery attempting to pass as a Christmas Tree. She's currently decorating it, and the decorations may or may not be little weapons made out of construction paper and foil.

She's got extra paper. And maybe some tape, and glitter, and stuff. Feel free to help!

After leaving the Perk, Shep grabs his laptop and heads down to the common room to work on some Linguistics work and check a few things on-line.

Seeing Faith attempt to decorate the very pathetic little tree makes him chuckle and he decides the homework can wait. He watches Faith cut out a few paper knives and such and then decides to start making classic little bombs - black circles with white fuses made of yarn, the ends of which are dipped in glue and then red glitter.

"Now if we're really good, we can make garland that looks like a string of claymores," he tells her.

Faith snickers. "Dude, that'd be awesome." She eyes his bombs and not in a pervy way. "Those look kinda cute. I like em. They add a festive touch to the little thing."

"Thanks. Poor thing needs all the help it can get.

Oh, hey! Have any pipe cleaners? We can make razor wire garland. You could use some of that foil to make a Chinese throwing star for the top."

Shep really starts getting into the whole lethal tree concept and realizes that it would be very easy to overwhelm the poor little thing, but that doesn't stop him from sitting there and making more decorations than it's likely to be able to handle.

Faith gets a gigantic grin on her face, and immediately starts in on the barbed wire garland.

"Dude, this is basically the best idea ever," she says as she puts aside the garland and starts making a wee shank. "I wish we'd thought of this last year. That woulda rocked."

Shep grins at Faith. "Well, thank you very much." Faith strikes him as someone hard to impress, so he's feeling pretty good now.

"I wasn't here last year. And where I was... well, we didn't do much with the holidays. Which is fine with me. I'm not usually big on the whole 4 months of Christmas thing. This, however, is fun. Mocking stuff you don't like is always fun."

Faith laughed. "Yep. The mocking makes it bearable. I, uh, didn't get out much last year, so I missed a lot of the commercial stuff. I'm not really into that sort of, like, fun and sparkles bit, so this?" she said, gesturing around at the various art supplies and tree. "This rocks."

As he finished making a half-dozen red-paper tubes, Shep looks up and nods. "This totally rocks." He begins adding fuses to his little TNT sticks and then starts on a little paper detonator plunger.

Falling into the general holiday theme, Wes makes a tiny holy water sprinkler (http://www.castelnaud.com/castelnaud/francais/ImagesBoutique/PhotoKdo/vigKDO1.jpg) and moves on to a crossbow. The second is less successful and a certain amount of glue is sprinkled about. Oh, well. Glitter covers a multitude of sins.

Dude, a mace, that's awesome.

Wes looks embarrassed. "I thought something less modern might be fun. Oh! There aren't any swords yet!"

Shep mutters something that sounds like, "Be'er keep dose thwordth away from me. I'm likely to ge' a paper cut from one of dem."

Not that he's a little paranoid now or anything.

"Oh, no, no, I wasn't thinking. Hmmm. Perhaps a cannon?"

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

"Cannon. Cool. You can uthe a pi'ecleaner to attach a fired cannonball."

Hey, wow, he could say most of those words.
