5th Floor common room, Evening

Pip sticks his feet up on a table and munches contentedly.

He's got a bowl of popcorn. A can of soda. He's had a rather nice day, though he suspects Walter will be angry at him for a while, he seriously doubt it will last. He's mostly just annoyed at being beaten.

There's a great movie on TV.

Life is good.

[[OOC: Welcome to anyone who wants to come up and watch movies with Pip.]]

Nadia had finished her homework.

Well, she had finished staring vaguely into space, anyway.

So she wandered out into the fifth floor lounge.

Shock of shocks, there was someone else there.

"Hey. What're you doing?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Watching this movie. I think it's about these male models and one of them is programmed to kill a Prime Minister," Pip responded. "It's really funny. Care to join me?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Yeah, okay." She slouches over to the couch and slumps onto it.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Pip says. He reaches down and pulls out a can of Coke from under the table and sets it down in front of Nadia. "Popcorn?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinks at the bowl. She's never actually had American popcorn before. It looked much more yellow than the popcorn she was used to. "Thanks." She took a handful and popped some of the kernels in her mouth. "Is it just me, or is tonight kind of a weird night?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip blinks. "In general or by comparison?" He asks. "'Cause, ya know, this is Fandom."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia frowned. "I know. But even comparatively. I've got this urge to absolutely not go outside under any circumstances. Like something extra weird would happen."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip scratched the back of his head. "Well, believe it or not? I kind of understand what you mean. It's no climate for the defenseless." He glanced down at his sleeves and shook his head a bit. "I propose that we just stay in and watch movies. The Mountie will keep us safe. Though if you absolutely have to go outside? Just tell me and I'll grab one of my guns and I'll come with."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded, reassured that she wasn't the only one who was feeling a bit paranoid.

Of course, odds were good that Pip hadn't spent half the evening with a brain full of images of giant red balls hovering over Fandom. . . .

Pippi came up the stairs.

"Hey guys. How's it going?" She doesn't stop but goes directly back to her room. Opens it up, goes in, and comes out wearing a big coat similar to the one she wore to the dance, only darker and more shabby. It's about two sizes big for her... She also may be hiding something under it.

"Quiet night in?" she asks coming back to the common room putting a dark tricorn hat on. She looks like a pirate... Well, she is a pirate... But you get the idea.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Basically," Pip said. "Nadia thinks that there's something unnerving going on out there and I agree. No going out unless needed." He looked up at her. "You're not going out, are you?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"There are some unsettling noises going on out there." said Pippi looking at the window.

"I need to go check on my boat. Possibly pull it more up shore and hide it... "

Old Man came clopping down the hallway behind her and nudged her back.

Pip sighed. Damn heroic impulses. He was having such a nice, quiet night. He put the bowl not bowel of popcorn down and stood up. "Alright, you probably shouldn't go out alone then. Lemme grab my stuff, I'll come along."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Uh, okay." she said...

Suddenly she shivered... "Whoa! I just got the creepiest feeling just then. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/561957.html?thread=22211621#t22211621)"

Maybe she shouldn't go out.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip shivered as well. "Whoa, that was weird," he said. "Hang on a second, I'll be right there." He disappears into his room for a moment, emerges again, and disappears down the stairs for a while. He comes back up in his millitary coat, red scarf, and cowboy hat. His braid is wrapped around his neck and under the scarf to keep it out of the way. He might have a few metallic objects in holsers. "Alright, ready?"

Pippi was already up on Old Man, she held out her hand to Pip.

"Yup."

If one were being helped up onto a horse by her, one may be able to see some kind of baldric or bandoleer under the huge coat.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip took Pippi's hand and pulled himself up onto Old Man.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"We'll be back." she said. Then looked over her shoulder at Pip.

"You're gonna wanna duck Pip." and with that, she gave Old Man's flanks a kick and they took off down the stairs.
