Second Floor Common Room - Late evening

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory made her way to the common room after Caritas, and, deciding not to disturb Anakin in her room, curled up on the couch and started watching an old episode of Bitterwoman.

Within minutes, she was fast asleep.


[Feel free to mess with her a bit - draw on her, etc. Please know that if you write anything derogatory/mean, you'll have quite a few people pissed off at you. Plottiness will be going up in a little while, but in the meantime, have fun. OH, and plz to not be waking her.]

Logan flopped down on the couch. He was feeling cranky after his encounter with Angel and Bel in the hall. Bitterwoman seemed like just the thing.

Rory barely stirred, giving a slight snore.

Parker came in with her new book, and studied Rory, sleeping soooo peacefully.

Hmmmmm.

Daisies, hearts, and stars drawn on someone's nails are not Goth when drawn in bright blue highlighter. They're just girly.

Parker stopped when she'd done all the fingernails she could reach, drew a couple rings onto Rory's fingers (nicely Celtic braided) and then settled in to re-read Little Women.

Krycek dropped by to watch Bitterwoman as well, but got distracted by sleeping Rory. With a ballpoint, he drew a heart on her bicep with a coffee mug inside it, then settled on the couch for more television.

A wallaby hopped into the room.

Yes, a wallaby.

It hopped around the room and then up onto the couch were Rory was sleeping. It landed on her and then quickly hopped over the back of the couch.

Then it hopped back out of the room.

Krycek frowned. ...He was fairly sure wallabies weren't native to Virginia. "Anyone else see that?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker had looked up just in time to see the wallaby exit, so she cautiously said, "Miniature kangaroo?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Wallaby, I think. Or a miniature kangaroo. I wouldn't rule it out," he said, glancing at Parker and then back at the door.

Rory was actually sitting up. "What was that?" she asked, brushing hair out of her eyes.

Brushing...rather a lot of hair out of her eyes, actually.

Hair that was growing at a somewhat alarming rate.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Um, Rory? The hell...?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory stared at her hands. "Why are there flowers and hearts on my na - oh my God my hair," she said, waking more. "What is - why is my hair...what?"

Her hair began to slow as it reached about six feet in length.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"There was a wallaby and now you seem to be hirsute." He watched her hair with vague horror, resisting the urge to back away. "I'm not sure how they're related."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"What he said," Parker agreed, looking fascinated. "It bounced off you, then took off, and ohmigod. You're Rapunzel!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory stared down at her hair, which had finally stopped growing.

"What the hell? A...a wallaby?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Or a miniature kangaroo. Hard to be sure." Shaking her head, Parker picked up one strand of hair, and muttered, "Only in Fandom."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was still staring. "Okay. This...huh. Okay. I had kind of been thinking I was missing the long hair, anyway," she said thoughtfully.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"That's pretty convenient then," Krycek said. "You need any help?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"With what?" Rory asked. "Cutting it off? Nah. Did that myself the first time."

[fh_jackass]

"Do you think it'll stop growing?" Logan asked. "Maybe you'll have a cape of hair trailing behind you forever."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Lucky me," Rory said, standing and picking up her hair as best she could, so that it wouldn't drag on the ground. "So. Wallabies grow hair. Who knew."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek shook his head. "Only in Fandom."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shrugged. "I don't really care. I have hair again, yay." And with that, she exited the common room, her arms laden with hair, and went back to her room (http://rory--gilmore.livejournal.com/56149.html?thread=1466453#t1466453).
