5th Floor Common Room, Early Friday Afternoon

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD was feeling a bit depressed, what with parents weekend and his father off in Oklahoma selling pencils. So he was in the common room, drinking something that looked supiciously like an appletini and making little orgami cranes. Lots of orgami cranes.

((OOC: JD will be in here for fun and games until his brother gets around to finding him. Open in the meantime.))

Sure, the fifth floor was far away from the third, but the twins liked to wander, especially when they were bored.

JD looks up from his cranes for a moment, and nods hello. He also pushes a few peices of paper in the twins direction, in case they also want to make cranes.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins happened to be crane-making experts, so they sat down to join him. "Any reason for all the cranes?"

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD shrugged. "Trying to get to 1000. I hear after that, you get a wish."

Teddy couldn't recall ever having been up on the fifth floor before. Except when he went up to the roof, but those brief seconds of fifth floor-iness didn't count in his mind.

"That's a lot of cranes," Teddy said, mostly to himself.

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD doesn't even look up. "Yeah, 127 to be exact."

He finishes the one he's working on. "Make that 128."

Teddy nudged one of the tiny paper cranes with his foot. "Huh."

Awkward.

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD kept working on his cranes. He knew he was being a bit sulky, but he didn't really care.

"You want some paper? It's fun."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins, also making cranes with JD looked up and waved to Teddy. "Hey there!"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Hey guys," Teddy replied, waving back. "Having fun?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"As much fun as paper cranes can provide." Hikaru commented, tossing another multicolored bird into their pile. "You know how to fold cranes?"

A very piratical man stomps up the steps and enters the 5th floor common room.

"This the 5th floor?" He asks gruffly.

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD stares at the pirate, momentarily forgetting his depression.

"Ahoy and avast, matey!"

[pirate-fabe.livejournal.com]

Not many people know this, but "avast" means "stop".

"Avast? AVAST?!" The pirate whips his head in JD's direction sending a small spray of sea water flying. "Where do ye get off given' me orders ya poncy little minnow? I'll have ye know I've made men eat their own lips fer less!"

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD giggled. Yes, it was definatley a giggle.

"Wow. You even talk like a real pirate!"

JD reaches a hand out and touches the pirate's sleeve, completely oblivious to the idea that this might be a breach of pirate protocol.

Teddy stared blankly, because, despite having a pirate on the radio, it was a bit weird to see one in the common room.

[pirate-fabe.livejournal.com]

Kapten Fabe stared back, somewhat less blankly.

"Well?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy nodded, still staring. He was beginning to fear for his safety. The pirate's hair looked like it was a life-form of it's own.

Oh god, what if it was hungry?

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Dear lord, that man had a lot of hair! The twins couldn't help but stare along with the other two.

"... I musta hit the rum a bit hard be'hore I got here, I'm seein' double!"

"Who are you looking for?" They speak in unison, both tilting their heads in time to the left.

Dan poked his head in the fifth floor common room and saw Johnny making cranes. Poor kid probably didn't have any friends yet. "Hey, little brother."

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD jerked at hearing his brother's voice, and in his excitement managed to knock about a hundred cranes off the table and onto the floor in a colorful shower.

"Dan! What are you doing here?"

[badexamplebro.livejournal.com]

"Dad's in Detroit selling staplers. Mom's having another bachelorette party. Thought you could use some company. Nice school."

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

"Dad's in Detroit? I thought he was in Oklahoma." JD shrugged. After a while it was really all the same anyway.

"I'm glad you're here though." His voice dropped, "I was feeling sort of homesick." JD made a move that looked suspiciously like he was going in for a hug, then hesistated, flustered his arms a bit. He then gave Dan The Nod.

Oh my god! We're going to have so much fun! Maybe this time he'll let me dye his hair!

""So, s'up?"
