Outside the dorms, late morning

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick was strolling around the campus grounds. It was raining lightly, but there was still some snow on the ground. Maybe even enough snow for a snowman.

He was currently carrying some Christmas cookies that he had hidden from Lockheed in a secret hiding place. It's not much of a gift if it has been found and eaten a week before, therefore hidey.

Tick would probably be happy to talk to any students who crosses his path.

[OOC: Totally open to interaction. I'll be around all day unless I fall asleep.]

"Merry Christmas or Non-Christian-Holiday-of-Your-Choice, Professor The Tick!" Kawalsky greeted. He wasn't sneaking around. Not at all. He was just checking out how his Santa costume weathered in the outdoors before going to set up shop in the lobby. Yep.

"Merry Christmas, Major K!" Tick said, admiring the costume. "Err, Santa K!, I suppose. What's with the costume," he asked with a smile.

"Well, there's a bunch of folks around here who can't or haven't gone home for Christmas, and I had some dreams involving ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future who all told me I should dress up as Santa and spread the Christmas cheer. I figure it's best not to argue with ghosts, even if they were just in my head."

Suddenly a snowman who had been hiding nearby in the trees ran... er, moved out into the open. It looked like your stereotypical snowman: three large snowballs stacked on top of each other, silk top hat, old knit scarf around its neck, stick arms clutching an old broom, coal eyes, carrot nose and a mouth made out of licorice.

The only difference was that it was brandishing the broom like a weapon and its licorice mouth was curved into an angry frown. There may also have been some hatred glinting in his coal eyes.

The Tick happened to notice the snowman moving around, bent over, rolled a snowball, and launched it at the snowman's hat. The snowman stopped moving when the hat was knocked off and Tick said to himself, "I told Marty we'd get evil snowmen!"

"Sorry about the interruption, Major K!" Tick said. He then continued as if nothing had happened, "And I think that's nice. You're the perfect person to spread Christmas cheer!"

"Thanks. I'll do my best." He looked at the formerly animate snowman. "Evil snowmen? Should I get my hockey stick out for protection?"

"Eh, probably not. He seemed like a loner, so there probably aren't any more around," Tick suggested.

"Oh. Good." They arrived at the dorms. "Well sir, if you need a hand with a crazed evil snowman horde, I'll be here in the lobby for a while."

"Thank you, Santa K!" Tick said. "I'll be sure to call if I need any help! Have fun delivering cheer!"

Kawalsky waved and headed off to be Santa K for the day.
