Second Floor Common Room - evening

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory lounged on a couch in the common room, watching The Sampsons and giggling intermittently.

Vladdie, on the other hand, was busy nosing a ball back and forth across the floor, concentrating diligently.

And that was when Rory's left arm fell off.

"WHAT THE - ?"

"Whoa." Parker gapes. "Rory!"

[fates_jaye]

"Zomg," says Jaye.

Rory stared at her arm.

And wiggled the fingers on her left hand.

[swerval_zero]

"OH MY GOD," Zero said. "It's moving!"

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

"WHOA!' Cordy yelped. "Are you okay?" Stupid question, really.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

The hand on Rory's detached arm waved.

Cordelia screamed. "THAT IS NOT NATURAL."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander said that too. Only it sounded like "HOLY FUCK!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shot a look at him.

"Doesn't hurt. Weird."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Rory, your ARM just fell off," he informed her unnecessarily.

"I see that," Rory said, once she had her arm reattached. "I wonder if it works on my legs."

So she yanked on one ankle. And her leg neatly came off.

And that was when Zero started shrieking hysterically.

Parker reached over and shook her shoulders. "Zero! BREATHE!"

Not that she didn't want to do the same thing.

[swerval_zero]

"HER ARM FELL OFF! SQUALL!" Zero took a deep breath. "Stop shaking me! Do we need a doctor? What? Oh my God."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Don't know. Just want it to stop." Parker took a breath herself. "God, it's like an outtake from a slasher movie."

Logan looked over at Rory and paled. "Oh my god, Rory," he said, standing up.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory picked up her arm. "It doesn't hurt," she said, blinking. And she sort of poked the arm back into place. "That's...what the hell?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker looked like she was trying not to gag. "Okay, that's very, very, very wrong." She took a breath. "And is it over?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan stared. "Holy Christ on a rope," he said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory wiggled her fingers.

"It seems fine."

So, naturally, she gave a quick pull on her wrist, and detached the arm again.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Rory?" Bridge asked, very seriously, "is it supposed to do that?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No..." Rory said slowly, staring at her newly-attached arm. And wiggling her fingers. "It just...did that."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Huh."

Broots screamed. Like a girl.
