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?

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

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Then he could have just asked," he replied, almost plaintively. "It's not like it's hard to get me naked."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

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

[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."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Lana asked curiously, then blushed. "I didn't mean that the way it sounded."

[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.

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

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

[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?"

[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?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking of spoiling my dinner," Sam teased, trying to lick meringue off her nose and dodging a swiftly falling mincemeat pie. "Do I want to know what's going on?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

It chased away his grumbles and he laughed. "Really. I only wear clothes because it's very cold out there, and people in this century aren't big on public nudity."

[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 this plan, and that's my pie." He ignored the new rain of pies, several bouncing off his shoulder and onto the floor, in favour of pursuing Sam. "I get to lick it off."

Sam slipped on a slice of apple as she backed up a step.

"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?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"I'll have you know I have a date on Friday," the Doctor said. "Sorry to disappoint."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack snagged her arms, possibly smearing her with lemon pie filling and meringue, trying to steady her. "Careful, this stuff is slippery. And the pie gods have a strange sense of humour."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam glanced down at herself. "I seem to be sharing your whatever this is now. Also, pie gods?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Awwww." Jack made a disappointed face, then laughed. "My heart is broken," he said, clearly teasing. "But good on you, Doc. Who's the lucky man or woman? Or both?"
