Second Floor Hallway

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory, in the midst of trying to put up shelves by holding one arm with the other, got a desperately woe-inducing phone call.

She wandered out into the hallway. "Um. Anyone want to go to a fish funeral?" she called, reattaching her arm.

[ooc: Seriously, there will be a memorial for RT. Feel free to tag along, omg.]

ETA: And fishie doom continues HERE.

Sam stuck her head out of her room. "What did you just ask?"

"Seriously? Pet fish? Or did someone turn into a fish and subsequently die from lack of immediate water?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Professor Tick's pet fish RT just died," Rory said to both of them. "There's going to be a funeral. Run with it."

"Um? Rory? Did you just ask about a 'fish funeral'?" Elizabeth asked.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Krycek said, shrugging. "Something to do, anyway."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Do we need to dress up?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, Professor Tick's wee little goldfish just died. Want to come?" Rory said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so," Rory said, looking down at her bright green shirt. "We should be okay as is, but if you want to dress up, go for it."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Elizabeth replied. She looked down at her jeans. "Should I be wearing black?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It might be a nice touch, but I don't think it matters."

Rory bit her lip, and ducked back into her room, returning with a black shawl and a box of votive candles. "We should do the candle thing, definitely."

Elizabeth grabbed her leather jacket. Hey, it was black.

She also grabbed a box of matches. Because that would help with the candle thing.

"All set," she said.

Sam looked down at her white shirt and blue jeans. At least they were both clean and freshly ironed. "Let me slip on a pair of shoes and I'll go with you."

"Er, where are we going?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"I didn't even know he had a fish," Krycek said. "But I'm guessing this isn't a 'closed to family' service, then."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, down a floor," Rory shrugged. "I just got a message telling me to meet Professor Tick in the first floor hallway."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam ran back into her room and got some tissue packs. "Just in case."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, no. I gave him the fish for Christmas," Rory said. "And I think he would want people there. I didn't ask."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Funeral?" Bridge said, poking his head out of his room. "What?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter let Pup drag him onto the second floor in time to hear the announcement.

A fish funeral? Wasn't that usually called dinner?

Fortunately, he had the tact not to ask that aloud.

Krycek grabbed his own jacket to put on and pulled a baggie out of the pocket because he wanted to carry around something other than coffee beans for his oft-ravenous boyfriend. "Goldfish crackers? Or is that kind of distasteful?"

Making one of his periodic escapes, Cam-Mollusc rolled out of an air vent.

"Dead fishie," Rory said solemnly. "Professor Tick's goldfish, RT."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's Cal's thingy!" Rory exclaimed. "I should bring Vladdie."

She dashed back into her room and returned with a slightly drowsy Vladdie.

"Hi Walter. Hi...many-eyed dog," Rory said cautiously. "Want to come to a funeral for Professor Tick's goldfish?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Woe," Bridge said. "I'll come with."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh my God, no," Rory said, eyes wide. "Alex, how morbid!"
