Fifth floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[demonbelthazor]

Wandering the halls of the fifth floor, Bel blinked in bewilderment as he saw a little parade of four inch tall creatures with green hair. They marched into the common room, and one of the creatures began building a ramp out of bricks that it apparently pulled out of thin air. (Bel didn't want to dwell on where else it might be pulling the bricks from.) Another creature put up his hand to halt the others, tapping his foot as he waited. The remaining creatures walked back and forth between the roadblock and the wall.

Then the ramp seemed to be finished and the roadblock creature squealed "Oh no!" and exploded. Its companions marched over the disintegrated remains and proceeded up the ramp. Which almost, but not quite, reached the couch. When the creatures hit the gap, they fell, flailing, to splat on the ground beneath them...and disappear. Some fortunate creatures whipped out umbrellas (again, from where, Bel didn't want to know) and floated gently to the ground and continued to march around the common room.

"Huh," Bel said. He brushed off the couch in case there was any lemming-dust present and sat down, flipping on the TV. Only in Fandom....

Pippi wandered into the common room, stepping over a few of the marching creatures nonchalantly.

"Morning Bel!"

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey, Pippi," Bel said. "How's it going?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good." Pippi said flopping onto the couch and resting a foot on the end of the ramp. "How's you? How did the whole horse and carriage go for Homecoming?"

Cally wandered into the common room.

"What the frak?"

[demonbelthazor]

"It went great," Bel said, smiling. "Thanks again for loaning me Old Man. He was a good sport."

"He's pretty accepting of just about anything as long as it doesn't hurt and he gets a few apples or sugar cubes out of the deal." Pippi nodded.

"Don't ask me," Bel said. "I have no idea."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll be sure to bring him some treats sometime soon then," Bel said. "He helped make Phoebe's night."

"You should thank Joxer too, he was kind enough to give Old Man a good brushing down so his coat would be nice and glossy."

"Morning!"

"What can I ask you?" Cally asked.

"Hello, partner in something that so didn't happen," Cally said, smiling.

[demonbelthazor]

"Anything else your heart desires?" Bel said.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel raised an eyebrow. "Did he do that for me and Phoebe in particular, or just because?"

"Hello accomplice in non-existant mischief that will not at all continue this afternoon because it never started to begin with."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Actually did it because I gave him brownies."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Cally said. "How you doin', today?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked.

"A lot?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good. How's you?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Brownies are good bribery," Bel said solemnly, nodding. "They're the going rate to shimmer someone between San Francisco and LA."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"The real answer is 'a woodchuck would chuck as much as he could chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood'," Cally explained.

[demonbelthazor]

"You're very strange," Bel said.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Doin' good," Cally said. "The weird little things? Barely fazing me. I just hope they don't get violent."

"Hey, atleast I didn't try to hit you with a koan," Cally said.
