2nd Floor Common Room, after lunch

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone was vexed.  No, she was beyond vexed.  The crazy lady’s constant announcements were getting on her nerves, and violence was not a reasonable solution.  Yet. 

 So she’s sitting on the floor of the common room, making various origami creations while Gulliver watches Animal Planet on the television.

[[ooc:  Open!  Anemone’s got tons of origami paper, so join in!  Although you may have to fight Gulliver for the remote, we’re pretty sure he’s sitting on it.]]

Bart had done a good job of ignoring any announcements so far and therefore was blissfully unaware of the scary lady running the school.

He was, however, aware that common rooms usually meant food.

Except now. Damn.

"Hi, Anemone!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Hey Bart." Anemone picked up an orange swan, and launched it through the air at him. "Here, have a birdie. I'm making an origami invasion. I think I'm going to leave them all over the dorms. It's better than a dinosaur invasion, because origami doesn't eat people. Usually."

Catching the paper bird, Bart turned it to face him so he could poke at it's weetiny beak. "Coool. Can they do anything?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"He can kinda flap his wings, but that's about it. I just made him as a warm up for some of the harder ones." Anemone grinned, and pointed to a picture (http://www.origami.com/gal_twodinos.html) in one of her books. "I thought these might be kinda fun next."

This wasn't his floor, but Robin was a social creature, so he wasn't too worried about that.

"Hello hello." He greeted the people in the room. "Ooh! Paper!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Anemone quickly dug through her rather large pile of completed shapes, and held out a present (http://www.giladorigami.com/P_Frog_LaFosse.JPG). "Here! Have a froggie friend!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Oooh neat!" Robin took the present, and examined it appreciatively. "That's really good, thank you!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Welcome! Did you want to give origami a try? I have lots of paper." Anemone gestured to the various piles of paper around the room. "Or you can make something else, I don't mind."

Bart paused. Then blinked rapidly before grinning and rushing forward. "A frog? This is the best school ever!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin beamed. "Hi! I'm Robin." he held out a flipper.

[fastestkidalive.livejournal.com]

Bart shook his hand--flipper---hand... thingy, enthusiastically. "I'm Bart."

The nice thing about this school, Johnny admitted, was that there always seemed to be something going. So even though this wasn't his floor or his common room, he still felt okay wandering in and nodding to the pink-haired girl.

"Y'mind if I join you? I love this channel," he said. There was just something about monkeys and other animals doing stupid things that put him in a good mood.

Bart waved at the new kid, also waving a piece of bright orange paper as he did so. "Hi!"

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

Johnny waved back at the unfamiliar kid, before picking up a piece of green origami paper from the floor and flipping it over a couple times.

"Hey there. Don't think we've met yet. 'M Johnny Blaze."

[fastestkidalive.livejournal.com]

"Bart Allen," He replied, hand out in an instant for a shake. "Nice to meet you!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Hello boy-I-do-not-know." Anemone waved him towards the couch. "Have a seat. Gulliver and I like watching this channel too. I think he likes seeing other animals."

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

"Hey. I dunno your name, but I think I've seen you around in the flight class. 'M Johnny, by the way."

Johnny looked over at the white furball. "What kinda animal's that? 'Ve never seen anything like it before."

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"That's right!" Anemone smiled. "I'm Anemone. That is Gulliver. I don't know what he is, he's the only Gulliver I've ever met."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi! Have I met you yet?"

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

Johnny stared openly at the talking, moving, wireless frog puppet for a minute before answering.

"Don't think so. Pretty sure I woulda remembered meetin' you before."

He was still pretty sure that the school was messing with him.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"That's what I thought too. But there's so many people that I have trouble keeping track sometimes. I'm Robin." he stuck out a flipper.

"Anemone! Why are you torturing the paper?" Marco asked as he came in.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"It held still long enough for me to grab it." Anemone grinned crookedly at Marco. "Ethics class vexed me, and shrill laughing over the PA vexes me. The paper didn't move fast enough to escape my wrath." She waved her new tiny paper hat expressively. "So I'm making tiny hats, paper dinosaurs, and other various creatures until I reach enlightenment. Or until I run out of paper or get hungry. Whichever comes first."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"I think I slept through Ethics class." Marco said, not at all suprised by this. "I also had a conversation with the PA. Aren't you worried the tiny dinosaurs could come to life?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"If they come to life, they will still be weetiny paper dinosaurs. Easily defeated with fire, water, or a shoe."

"As for ethics..." Anemone screwed her face up with distaste. "Ends or means...ends or means... Whatever. It's all very sweet and cute to say that the means must come first, but it isn't like that in the real world. It's bloody and violent and you're going to have to fight if you want to reach your goal."
