2nd Floor common room, afternoon

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel was camped out in the second floor common room. He had a stack of math books on one side of him and the script for the pagent on the other.

It was hard to say which one made him want to stake himself more.

John walks by, stops in the door way and says seriously, "I'm running away now. Tell Principal Bristow I have bird flu."

"If I took up smoking for the afternoon do you think I could get enough ashes together that people would believe that I killed myself?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"It's worth a try. That or you could smoke, inhale it on purpose and pass out from smoke inhalation?"

"I'm thinking of saying I have Mad Cow disease. That sounds sinister and contagious, right?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Are you kidding? Around here they probably have cures for it in the clinic," Angel slumped down in his chair. "Hell, bet they'd even have variations for Mad Cow, Insane Bull, and Calf with Boogie-Woogie Blues."

Anders stops by his room long enough to drop off his rapidly-deteriorating backpack, then pops into the common room with an armful of math books and a doomed expression. "Hey, Angel. This where the, uh, party is goin' on?"

"Anders!" John waves meekly. "We're trying to think of ways to get out of this. So far, our most valid option is that Angel and I are gonna get married because he's an illegal alien and he needs his green card."

Lily picks that unfortunate moment to show up with a stack of pizzas in hand and almost drops them when she hears John's statement. ""Did I come at a bad time?" she asks.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You came at the perfect time," Angel said. "We're comisserating over the pagent tonight. I think finals depression would fit right in."

Anders scratches at the side of his neck. "Is that legal on this -- hey, where does that leave me?" he complains, scowling.

"You could come with us? I think polygamy's allowed in some states."

Rory wandered in after Marty, and studiously ignored the presence of anyone who had a ginormous forehead and a broody disposition.

Not that anyone there fit that description. Oh no.

"Okay. I have my keys. If we need to make a quick getaway, we make a break for Logan's house, get my car, and head for the mainland. From there, I say Mexico."

"Rory!" John waves at her with a piece of pizza. "I got your moonshoes for yours, mine and Bridge's dance number!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Moonshoes?" Rory asked blankly. "Like those shoes that make you bounce?"

[ooc: Icon. Love. I can't believe I haven't seen that one before.]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Yep," John says. "Bridge's idea. Yours are green to match the tree ensemble."

*DEATH can be seen walking down the 2nd floor hall on his way to the theater, if you can call it walking. Its more of a spastic skip with a single jazz hand added in for good measure. His other hand, however, seems to be holding something akin to a video camera*

Alanna came in, math notes and book in her bag, along with a frumpy looking cat.

Anakin walked in just in time to hear Marty turn down Angel's plea for mass death.

He stuck his lower lip out and held up a bottle.

"Anyone else need a shot of 200-year-old off-planet courage?" he asked.

"Two words: Jazz Hands. Or, in one word: yes."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"I thought this was the math cram session?"

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

Lily looks up from the couch. "It is, Alanna - you're in the right place. We've just got some extras from the pageant gathering to be nervous as well."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin passed the bottle. "Careful. It'll hit you like a kick to the head."

He looked thoughtful. "Which isn't a bad idea. Someone want to kick me in the head?"

Jaye isn't even inside the room before she can be heard demanding, "Alcohol. NOW."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin wordlessly passed her the bottle.

[fates_jaye]

She takes a very large drink, making a face as she swallows. "There's not enough of that in the world," she says, and drinks again before passing it back.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"There really isn't," Anakin agreed fervently. "Pass that bottle back over here real quick? You know, before you finish it all yourself?"
