From the lobby to the second floor: Tuesday afternoon

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack was getting completely sick of being pied.

He'd had more showers today than anyone should ever have, and he was running out of clothes.

Once more showered and changed, he was just venturing outside when a veritable squall of pies descended upon him. Fruit pies, cream pies, chocolate pies -- a plethora of pies, falling from the sky, and coating him from head to toe in crust and filling.

It eventually died away, leaving Jack standing there, dripping with pie, a curve of pie crust hanging off one ear. "Fine." He shook himself vigorously, slicked a hand through his hair, smooshing pie into it, and wiped his face. "Fine!" he yelled at the sky. "If that's the way you want it."

No, he didn't know who he was talking to, but he had some vague notion he might have angered the pie gods.

Grumbling under his breath, he started stripping out of his clothes. When he was completely naked, the pie gods chose that moment to follow up with a brief lemon meringue flurry.

Now not quite completely naked, he stalked back into the dorms, heading for his room.

[ooc: Open to anyone. Jack's naked, but there's sufficient pie coating him to preserve anyone's modesty...anyone else's modesty, that is. He doesn't have any. I've been awake since 3 am and my brain's mooshy, so I might be a bit slow.]

Lana was heading into town to pick up a few food things to keep in the room. She was pulling at her sling and muttering about it when she looked up and saw a lot more of Jack than she'd expected.

"Jack?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Lana," he called as he walked up to her. "Beware angering the pie gods, is all I'm saying."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"The, um... Pie God?" Lana asked, struggling to keep her eyes from straying. "And they stole your clothes, too?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Well, they keep covering me in pie - I've had to change three, four, I don't know how many times today - obviously their goal is to get me naked. So I obliged." He snorted. "And then I got meringued. Hence the not quite nakedness." He waved a hand at himself. "I'm glad the dorms are heated."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Well..." Lana said, not quite sure how to respond, then grinned. "Are you sure it's the Pie God and not perhaps some other God who just wants you naked? The God of Lonely Woman or something, maybe"

Alec, who'd witnessed Jack's problem in Criminal Justice, grinned and whistled. Because, well, why not?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack grinned and executed a small bow. "Pie," he said by way of explanation.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Is it good pie?" Alec arched an eyebrow. "Or even warm pie?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack licked his lips and smirked, unable to resist. "Care to try for yourself?"

Sam took one look at Jack and burst out laughing. "So, this is new."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Tell me you didn't wish for naked Jack covered in pie." He grinned and advanced on her. "Because you could have just asked."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Only because I didn't think of it," Sam grinned, wondering if she should grab Cedric and a couple of forks.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"And now that you have a naked Jack covered in pie," he swiped a finger across his chest and smeared a dollop of meringue on Sam's nose, "what do you plan to do with him?"

In the lobby, the Doctor managed to catch a glimpse of Jack.

"...Interesting weather you're having."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Rains of pie. Or angry pie gods." Jack shrugged, then grinned. "Or something else. You ever run into anyone who'd been cursed by pie?" he asked hopefully. "Or better yet, someone who managed to get uncursed by pie?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"I like pie," the Doctor said. He thought for a second. "Not a popular curse, pie. Too lickable, I think."

He coughed and turned red.

"Likable. Likable."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I like the first version better." Jack smirked and maybe shifted a bit closer. "You know, final class is on Friday. Do you still count as a teacher once classes are done?"

Parker stared. Then laughed. Then started fumbling for her camera phone.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack spotted her and posed.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker took the photo, grinned, then said, "I swear I'm going to put out a coffee table book of all the semi-naked and really-naked photos I have of you, Jack. How much of a cut do you want? And what's the deal?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Make sure I get a copy and you can keep the profits for yourself. As long as you send me on signing tours." He moved closer and opened his arms, grinning. "How 'bout a hug?"

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

The last thing Will had expected to see today in the dorm lobby was a naked boy being hit repeatedly by magical pies. She might have stared a bit.

Okay, she might have stared a lot, but could you really blame her?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack caught her staring and waved, flashing her a grin that was interrupted by yet another falling pie.

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

Will tried and failed to disguise a grin, and not let her gaze drift to his pie covered private bits.

"Hey, you were the guy in the Buddhist holiday sketch in the school play, weren't you? It was really funny." She paused. "Weren't you naked there too?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I was. Naked is my default setting, but this," he waved at himself, "is either an attempt to appease the pie gods, or get revenge on them. I haven't decided which yet."
