The hallways, Wednesday night

[forgottenpants]

Pete didn't do idle well. Thus, having not yet been introduced to television or the wonders of the internet, he was skulking about the hallways, making a mental map of all the entrances and exits and good places to hang random traps.

And generally looking like he just might be up to no good.

Possibly, he was planning to torture the students by singing.

She'll be comin', comin', coming, comin', comin,
Row-hound that mounTAIN! When she comes,
Oh when she comes, when she comes,
She'll be comin'! (comin'comin'comin'comin')
Round that MOUNTAIN when she comes,
(Oh well, when she comes. . . .)

[ooc: dance for me! er, I mean, open!]

"Hey, Pete," Cally said, having finally traced down the source of the horrible noise.

[forgottenpants]

Pete doffed his hat and affected a regal manner. "Ma'am. What brings you to this particular part of the hallway at this latter hour of the evening?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You don't happen to have a bucket, do you?" Cally asked.

[forgottenpants]

"I'm afraid not." Pete shrugged. "I can do a mean Liza in 'There's a Hole in the Bucket' though, if you'd like,"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Well, see, I actually don't think it matters if you have a bucket," Cally said. "Cause I still don't think you'd be able to carry a tune with one."

Evie was heading back up to her room, and had to stop and pause, hearing the dreadful singing. It wasn't as if she could audition for the London Light Opera, but... "Hullo?"

[forgottenpants]

"Don't mind me ma'am, just singin' my cares away,"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

If Evie had seen this boy in Cairo, she would've started checking her purse. Well, if she'd seen him in London, too.

Actually, she was very glad she wasn't wearing one at the moment.

"I see," she said somewhat dubiously. "I don't believe I'm familiar with that song."

[forgottenpants]

"It's an American classic, ma'am. The name's Pete Hutter."

Conner poked his head out the door of 314, accompanied by a sudden wave of obnoxious bubblegum pop. "Hey! D'you mind? You're drowning out Kylee Styles here!"

[forgottenpants]

"You got somethin' against rural music?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Conner said, even though he kind of did. But given his own choice in music, he had no room to talk. "I have something against noise in the hallways at night, though."

[forgottenpants]

"I am merely culturarlly educatin' the residents of this here dorm. This is a school, ain't it?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter poked his head out the door and Pup took the opportunity to run out of the room to Pete's feet, where he started a little hellpuppy howl.

Definitely not as cute as usual.

[forgottenpants]

Pete paused mid "comin'" to stare at Pup. "Now what the hell kind of canine is that?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Pup stopped howling and started wagging, staring expectantly up at the noisy guy.

"Hellhound," Walter answered, leaning in his doorway. "And music critic."

[forgottenpants]

Pete looked from Pup to Walter and back. "That thing has six eyes. It yours?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Excellent acoustics 'round here eh?" Pippi asked.

[forgottenpants]

"I find the archetecture to be perfectly adequate to my needs, yes."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"So what mountain is she commin' 'round?"

[forgottenpants]

"I don't know, the mountain. They're all basically the same."

JD, having finished his pining on the roof, encountered Pete in the hallways and started singing along

Unfortunately, he started adding his own groove and flair.

[forgottenpants]

Pete took this a friendly sort of challenge and upped his act. It now included "air banjo".

She'll be ridin' six white horses when she comes!
Oh-ho-ho WHEN she comes!
She'll be ridin' six white horses when she comes!
Ohwoahwoah when she COMES!

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD raised an eyebrow, and then made a macho "bring it on movement with his hands.

"Oh we'll all come out to meet her when she comes,
Oh, yeah, we'll ALL be out to meet her when she comes,
Oh we'll all come out to meet her when she comes, 'round that mountain!
Oh yeah, baby, out to meet her when she comes!"

He follows this improved rendition with a bit of a white boy, break dance groove. It's a miracle he isn't sprawled on the floor.

[forgottenpants]

Pete was suitably impressed. He started rocking out more on his air banjo.

She'll be wearin' red pajamas when she comes!
(Oh when she comes!)
Yeah you know she'll be wearin' red pajamas when she comes!
She'll be wearin' red pajamas, she'll be wearin' red pajamas,
She'll be wearin' those red pajamas when she comes!

If he kept this up, he might pull a muscle.
