"We're Bored, So Let's Party" Party: Dorm Stairwells (First-Fifth Floors), Friday Early Afternoon On

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Okay, so it wasn't the best planned or fanciest party in the world. There weren't any streamers or banners, just a few hand-scrawled signs on printer paper reading "We're Bored, So Let's Party!" There wasn't even a theme really, but that sort of was the theme, as he and Nadia had concluded yesterday. Besides, Anders was tired and not exactly up to his usual standard of movement. Plus, they were saving all the decorations and planning for the real party, after all the new kids arrived. Oh yes. Mwahahaha.

Small tables of snacks, food, and drinks (and of course the ubiquitous supply of cupcakes, since this was after all Anders) had been laid out on all the landings between the first and fifth floors, and the common rooms had been raided for chairs and seat cushions to form makeshift seating areas in the hallways near the stairwells.

Hey, an impromptu party was better than boredom, right?

[OOC: OCD up. Party on. Shut up I totally knew the original subject line was too long the whole time.]

Mingling!

Where you . . . you know, do the mingling thing. As if you don't mingle when you're eating anyway.

Slide down the banisters with caution, and try not to fall down the stairs?

Nadia also added small stereos, walkmen with speakers, computers, whatever she could locate or happened to own that played music, to each landing. A cheerful mix of whatever modded music you like was playing. Each floor might have had a theme. More likely, each floor had whatever came out of Nadia's CD case first.

Not only was the party and food convenient as Chad went to head up to Nadia's room to find her, but so was that fact that she was apparantly part of the party, too, whcih, y'know, saved a bit of time. "...Hey. I was jus' gonna go look for ya."

Re: Mingling!

[nadiathesaint]

That was possibly a good sign. Nadia leaned against a banister (after checking both ways for zooming Pippis or Anderses), crossed her arms a little defensively, and looked up at him. "Yeah?"

Re: Mingling!

There was a slightly grunt. She looked a little pissed. That was, however, better than her looking very pissed. After that morning, he really did not need this to go badly. "M'sorry about how I acted yesterday," he said. "I was being kind of an ass; y'didn't deserve any of that."

Somehow, Walter wasn't surprised that Nadia was responsible for the music.

"Are we practicing for New Year's?"

Re: Mingling!

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia just smiled and held out a hand. "It's the 'we're bored so we're having a party' party. Dance with me?"

Re: Mingling!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It would be my pleasure," Walter said, taking her hand. "You're the music master, what will it be?"

John wanders around and finds one of the computers playing a random mix. He starts browsing through the songs.

Re: Mingling!

[nadiathesaint]

"Looking for anything in particular?"

Re: Mingling!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Uh, actually, I was looking for some Richard Cheese. I'm feeling lounge-y."

Pippi slides down the banisters with wild abandon.

Re: Mingling!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders yelped as Pippi went whizzing by.

Then he decided that looked like fun, and took off after her, impending pain be damned.

Re: Mingling!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Don't ask her how she does it, but when Pippi hits the bottom, she starts sliding back up the way she came.

Right at Anders.

She's going pretty fast too.

Re: Mingling!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

OMGWTF I thought that was Mary Poppins's thing!

"Holy frak, Pippi!" Anders exclaimed. Damn how tired he was feeling -- his reflexes weren't up to getting him out of the way in time, it looked like, which meant, in addition to gravity's contribution to his own downward speed . . . impending owie.

Billy has secretly been itching to do this since he got here. Look out below!

Re: Mingling!

Bannister whizzing looks like fun. Walter's a bit curious about how much slide he can get out of his shoes.

Quite a bit, it turns out.

Re: Mingling!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Re: Mingling!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Showoff," Anders protested mildly as he picked his way back up the stairs for another go.

Re: Mingling!

Z decided not to banister slide just yet, instead sitting on the steps and cheering on those who did.

Re: Mingling!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders took a break from banister sliding to get himself a drink. "Hey, Z!"

Re: Mingling!

[multiplez]

"Hey, Anders!" Z said. "What's up? Besides risking a broken neck, which, fun!"

Re: Mingling!

Still fairly convinced he was going to end up in small heap at the bottom of the stairs, Stark approached the banister a little warily. It wasn't like he'd had stairways to practice this sort of thing on before.

But it might be fun. Or so Anders claimed. So here he was, giving banister sliding a try.

Re: Mingling!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Whoooooooooooo!" Anders whooped. "Go Stark! Go Stark!"

Re: Mingling!

[stykera]

And then there was a slightly splatted Stark on the landing. Oops.

"It was fun," he admitted, getting back to his feet. "Until the end. That wasn't so much fun."
