Third floor common room [evening]

Luke had just settled onto a sofa to try to forget the weird guy who was teaching him Criminal Justice when he heard very strange noise coming from the air grate.

Being a dumbass curious, he crept over to investigate and was almost bowled over by a herd of gremlins dressed in various costumes as they raced into the common room.

One was dressed in rags, its arms extended as it squeaked "brains". Another was clad in hot pink bunny ears and was being chased by a decidedly sullen gremlin carrying a bell. Two others came out balanced on top of each other, looking a bit miniature giraffe-esque (not that Luke would know that). The one on top was wearing Secret Disguise Glasses (TM).

Luke narrowly missed getting hit by a gremlin tossing itself from the top of the doorjamb shrieking "Behooooooooold!" Its fall was broken by another gremlin wearing a tree while an additional gremlin dressed as a shrub snickered and pretended to take pictures.

Luke backed into the sofa as another group came running out of the grate covered in snowcone ice and began to line dance. They were followed by Very Angry Fairy Gremlins, three weetiny gremlins (one with a pillowcase on her head), then a dozen clad in Jello boxes and snarling.

"This is insane," Luke said.

He hadn't seen the Big Finish yet, of course.

The first gremlin came out with a brown yarn wig pulled back into a ponytail, sunglasses, a grey tank top and a Big Honkin' Gun (Really. It honked), and was followed by a gremlin wearing a non-descript suit and possessing No Facial Expressions At All. They were joined by another male-ish gremlin wearing sunglasses, then one toting a guitar, and finally one wearing a mop on her head and leather pants. Best not to ask why gremlins owned leather pants.

They held a brief conversation, then formed a kickline as the gremlin with the bell played "Little Bunny Foo Foo."

Confetti fell down over the entire production and they looked expectantly at Luke, who applauded loudly.

One gremlin reached into the grate, pulled out a sign that read "NeXT ShoW 10 MIns", flashed it at him and then disappeared.

Luke blinked, then settled in to watch it again. He wasn't quite sure he had picked up the subtle nuances the first time.

"Some but not all. I assume that one is a zombie, and then there's jello dragons and weetiny weekend. But what about the others?" she asked, curious.

"Which one? Scarrily, I recognized them all, and guessed at the Jello. 'Beeeehold' was Angel and he crashed on to Rory. Mini-shrub was Barbossa." The smile was back from the memory alone.

"Who's the one with the ponytail and the gun?" Isabel asked, starting to recognize some of the others.

"Ah, that was Principal Connor, our very first Principal. She used to bring in puppies and kittens into Study Hall." Alanna blinked. "She also carried a gun and implemented the weapon's ban."

"Cuddle therapy! Cool!" Isabel chuckled. "Well considering some of the weapons I've heard about from the students? Maybe she didn't want to be outgunned."

"She was a little crazy." Alanna said. "Let's see...anyone else?"

"Who's that with the bunny ears? I don't think I've heard that story."

"Bunny ears? I think that's that thing." Alanna pointed at the pink bunny in the room. "He stole people's things and then you had to bribe him to get them back."

"Ahh, sorry, I'm slow at times," Isabel chuckled. "I'll keep my valuables away from it then."

"Very good idea. He stole some - some letters from Jon from me." Alanna's smile fell.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Jon? You've mentioned him before. Does he need thwapping?" Isabel asked. "Cause I'd be more then willing to help."

"Jon the crown-prince and my ex and knight master all rolled into one very handsome package." Alanna pursed her lips. "He needs a thwapping, but I don't recommend you being the one to give him one."

"Ah, probably not," she said. "But I reserve the right to glare at him if I ever meet him, okay?"

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yup! And if all goes well aka the mun doesn't go to HI, you will get to meet him. Did I tell you about the thing yet?" Seriously, this makes sense in her head.

"You said something about an Ordeal at one point. Is that what you're talking about?"

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yup, that. I'm hoping to be able to get some of my friends from here to visit in December."

"Count me in. Definitely. I'd like to be there to help you if I can."
