Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

Krycek padded down into the lobby and prepared a perplexed profile in regards to a proliferation of pleasant pets.

"Setting up a petting zoo, Rory?"

Rita just happened to be walking through the lobby. Fancy that.

Tommy also happened to be wandering through the lobby at almost the exact same time as Rita. Huh.

Nadia arrived and then stood there quietly as her mun went afk.

Xander showed up carrying Jeremiah in his tank. Plus a wee specimen bottle containing the last of the chocolate covered locusts, just in case any bribery was required to get him to cooperate.

"Hey, Rory. Where does the purple guy go, and what can I help with? Besides the eatinating of cake, which I will gladly lend my assistance for at any time."

John's coming back from parts unknown and walks right into the animal balancing set up.

"What's going on guys?"

Alanna came by Faithful on a shoulder. "Um, my cat signed up for something?"

Bridge bounces in to the lobby, 'cause contest day, yay!

Re: Pre-Contest

[demonbelthazor]

Bel just happened to be passing through the wrong place at the wrong time. Oh dear.

Callisto was wandering back from Tactics of War, when she caught sight of the lobby.

She blinked.

A lot.

Jake was on his way to steal paint from the art room, which incidentally caused him to walk through the lobby. ...Well, he would have walked through, if he hadn't stopped and stared at whatever the hell was currently going on.

Re: Pre-Contest

The Tick walked into the lobby with Lockheed trailing behind him. And, egads, there was something going on. He wondered what. And so he asked.

"Hello, Rory! Egads, what's going on?"

Angela waved to Rory and looked at the crowd in the lobby.

Then she slumped against a wall. This should be interesting to watch, anyhow.

Re: Pre-Contest

[fates_jaye]

Jaye's still a little hungover. But she vaguely remembers something about animals on the head and she comes down to make sure she didn't agree to what she thought she agreed to.

"Did I agree to what I think I agreed to?" she asks.

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Someone who looked remarkably like Angel arrived.

Well - except Angel didn't wear hats.

Or color.

Or Hawaiian shirts that were currently tucked into his pants.

So clearly not Angel at all then.

Oddly enough he had a puppy with him who looked a heck of a lot like Sean though.

Cameron's on his way back from class and blinks as he finds the crowd in the lobby. "Party?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair bounced in, pulling a hairbrush through his hair. "Whoa! Lots of people!"

Cake!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Since Rufus's Bridgey's birthday was all forgottenated when it happened, we have cake now. Sing! Etc!

But it's probably a good idea to wait until Bridge actually arrives before starting on this one.

Re: Cake!

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Who wants cake?" Bridge says cheerfully, cause yay cake!

Re: Cake!

[fh_jackass]

Logan spotted the cake. "Oh, crap, it's someone's birthday?"

CONTEST OMG

Round 1: Books

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

There is a pile of hardcover novels sitting on the floor. Each contestant must attempt to balance one on their head for a minute and a half.

Judges reserve the right to award points for creativity.

During Contest - General Chatter!

Talk. Mingle. Mock.

Marty sits and watches the contest with a look of woe.

He possibly is thinking of a muppet chicken that he might be missing horribly.

And how they would have kicked all the other pet owner's butts.

But mostly he's missing his chicken.

Woe.

[nadiathesaint]

5:30 EST? *flails* Sure, make play start when I have to go and be a Stage Monkey Manager, so's I don't get to balance animals on my head. . . .
