Third Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Thanks to a laundry...incident, Dawn was wearing the t-shirt she'd borrowed from Dean after the Meerkat cabin theft, which was way too long for her, and the skirt she'd stolen borrowed from Buffy before she left Cleveland, which was way too short. Not unlike Buffy, come to think of it.

Just so people would think it was intentional, though, she put up a small sign, hastily written on notebook paper and stuck to the door of the common room.

HAPPY PANTSLESS FRIDAY!

In other news, she was trying to learn her domesticated canine vocabulary for class on Monday.

Molly blinked at the sign before walking into the common room. She plopped down on a couch with her own vocabulary sheet for Monday.

"Hi, Dawn," she said. "I'm glad I wore shorts today because there was no way I would be taking off my pants."

"I can't believe I have to learn how to bark," Dawn muttered, stretching her legs out in front of her, "and I can't believe how long it's taking my stuff to dry. I put it in before class and it's still wet."

On his way to Caritas, Jack was trolling the floors for no good reason when he saw the sign.

He had to stick his head in the door and ask the girl he'd never met, "Seriously? Pantsless day?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn shrugged. "Sure, why not? Kilts need love too."

[forgottenpants]

Pete studied the sign on the door.

For quite awhile.

"You tryin' to make some kind of statement?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Uh...I need more quarters for the dryer?" Dawn said, "Ooooor, there's the whole 'feel free to express yourself as you like' philosophy."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel happened to be passing through.

He saw the sign and stared at Dawn in bewilderment.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Laundry issue," Dawn said, turning the page on her handout. "Also, hi."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory just kind of stood in the doorway for a moment before saying, "Was Shirtless Friday not enough?"

She straightned her knee-length skirt a bit nervously.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Variations on a theme," Dawn said, waving Rory into the room. "And you qualify."

[absolutesnark]

Summer wandered into the common room of her own floor and blinked at the sign. "Huh?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved to the girl. "Hi! I'm Dawn. Welcome to pants-optional Friday."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Isabel laughed. "Welcome to the insanity."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Summer?" Rory said, blinking. "You came back!"


[Old-Summer was Rory's roommate at the start of the game. :D]

Joxer clattered into the common room.

He stopped and looked at the sign. He carefully read all the words.

"Does that mean what I think it means?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Kinda depends on what you think it means," Dawn offered.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel wandered by and blinked. "Sorry, not happening."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I'm totally telling the pantslessness police on you," she teased.

[smartestone]

Hermione was going to go to the common room. And then her eyes go really wide, and she decides to flee-

And changes her mind. "That has to be against some sort of dress code."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved. "Probably. Or it's an exercise in creativity."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn read the sign, several times. That couldn't be normal.

"Do you seriously have to remove clothes on this floor?" He was considering running away again.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You could wear something other than pants," Dawn offered, "or you could ignore the sign and run the risk of the pantslessness police arresting you. Up to you."

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Um pantsless?" Lavender was wearing yet another knee length skirt.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You're good," Dawn informed Lavender. "No pants!"

Wearing Narnian clothing, Peter wandered down to the third floor where the noise was. "Why do I feel like shirtless day is a better idea?" he asked the room at large as he entered.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"That's discriminatory against pants," Dawn informed him with a grin. "They deserve the right to a day off, too. You'll be picketed by the pants union."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge wanders in to the common room, not noticing the sign.

"Hey, people."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Hi Bridge!" Dawn waved, then an idea occurred to her. "Want to be the pantsless police?"

[likethegun]

Sam came into the common room and did a double take as he noticed the sign. "You've got to be kidding me," he said. "There has to be a line drawn somewhere."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn curled her legs under her. "Where do you want to draw it?"

[multiplez]

Z came into the common room, saw the sign, and left again. She returned several minutes later wearing the knee-length skirt from her dress uniform. "Do I qualify?" she asked, striking a pose.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn applauded. "Very nice."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter - who was wearing shorts to begin with - noted the sign. "During the summer it was shirts, now it's pants, in the winter it'll be shoes."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"As long as it isn't all of them together, I think we'll be safe," Peter replied with a grin.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally wandered into the common room, totally not noticing the sign.

"Is too!" she shouted over her shoulder.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Is not," Anders yelled back as he came in right behind her, too intent on keeping up with Cally to pay any attention to the sign.
