Stickbug Common Room, Thursday evening

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter had already packed for the weekend and was currently avoiding the annoying gnomes by staying on the ceiling. He was currently taunting them.

"Yeah, little guys. I'm up here, you're down there, you can't reach me. How do you like that, huh? Huh?"

He had been doing this for ten minutes and he wasn't sick of it yet.

[OOC: Open to the Stickbugs or anyone who might have a reason to show up.]

Jamie had given up a long time ago and was just letting the gnomes smack him upside the head repeatedly.

He was also tired of hearing Peter taunt them as well.

"I don't think they really care Peter."

Peter came into the Common Room out of the rain. His shadow gnome Barney was clinging tightly to his shoulders. Pushing some of the others off a couch, he sat down. Wet and annoyed by the cuddly monsters.

He looked up at the ceiling. "I think I hate you for being able to get away from them right now."

"But I care. I care deeply," Peter said. "I care that these little jerks can't reach!"

"Can't you just web them up or something?" Jamie asks. "You can catch waterfowl like flies."

"Hey, don't hate me too much. I'm going to have a big headache from being upside down this long," Peter said.

Tyler ambled in, impeded by a gnome who was clinging to his shoulder like a small, bearded kitten.

"Hi, Peter," he said, leaning his head back. "Is that a superhero thing?"

Tyler guffawed at Jamie's gnomes. "Dude, yours are hitting you."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"That's some consolation. On the other hand..." he looked at the gnomes who were hugging his legs fiercely. "There's no one hugging you."

"It'll only last an hour and I don't have enough fluid to keep webbing them up," Peter said.

Peter waved to Tyler from his place on the couch. "Have you named yours yet?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Yep. Best power ever as of today," Peter said. "So. Revenge. It must be had."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"True," Peter said. "And for that, I'm grateful."

Jamie takes a swig from his soda. "Yeah. They seem to enjoy it. It's the-"

Jamie screams as the gnome yanks his hair.

"-hair pulling that's really annoying."

"An hour's enough time to drown them all," Jamie muttered darkly.

"Huh," Tyler said, more clinically than compassionately.

He stroked his gnome's back with a fingertip. "Mine just likes being carried around."

Cordelia was wandering around camp looking for something interesting to do. She had been dipping into the tequila Logan had left her quite a bit, and found herself banging on the door to the Stickbug Cabin.

"Hello?" she yelled. "Who's in there? I'm bored!"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hey, no drowning. They may be insanely annoying, but they are living creatures," Peter said.

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"No, but good idea," Tyler said. "He liked spinach. Popeye?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"And thus, I'm hating you. I'm sure it'll go away soon though." He paused. "The hatred, not the gnomes."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"You probably don't want in here, we have gnomes," Peter called out. "But it's open if you want to get out of the rain despite the gnomes."

He wasn't leaving the ceiling.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter looked at Tyler's gnome a bit more closely. "He rather does have a Popeye too. I'd go with it."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we just have to stop hating the gnomes and they'll go away?" Peter suggested. "Give one a hug."

Cordelia misheard the word 'gnomes' for 'combs' through the door, and shrugged. "Why the hell would I care about your combs?" she asked, pushing the door open and walking to the common room.

"Dear god, what the hell is that?" she shrieked, as she spotted the gnomes.

"Was that in doubt?" Tyler asked.

He pulled the handkerchief Pippi had soaked in pheromones from his pocket. "This is pheromones. I wonder if we could use it somehow."

"Easy for you to say up on the ceiling," Jamie said as the gnomes started yanking on his hair.
