3rd Floor Common Room - Late, Late Night, Saturday

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

It was Saturday. What was the point of sleeping on a Saturday night when that's what you could use Sunday for? It wasn't like they had classes until Monday. That was Ferris' reasoning for being up unreasonably late, dressed in his bathrobe, and in the 3rd floor common room. The TV wasn't on in case the people next door wanted to sleep. Besides, he was busy turning the room into one giant blanket and pillow fort. This activity was much quieter and still managed to fulfil his need for controlled chaos.

Plus, sometimes Ferris was a big kid.

"Nice bathrobe," Jamie said wandering into the CR to see if there was any free food around. "Ooo... Is it pillow fort time?"

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"This is a usual thing? Darn. I thought I was being original. Got any bed linen to contribute to my masterpiece?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"It's not an every day occurence," Jamie said quickly stamping his foot and creating a dupe.

"Go steal something from other rooms," he ordered before turning back to Ferris. "Though what we really need is pizza. Pizza and pillow forts."

Ferris stared. He blinked a few times, then looked off to the side at the audience that wasn't there as far as anyone was concerned, then looked back at Jamie. "There are two of you." He blinked again. "Were there always two of you?"

Dawn was already in her pajamas (flannel with feet, since it was freezing out), but mostly because she'd never gotten out of them that morning. "Need more blankets?"

Who cared that she didn't know him?

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

Ferris looked up. "A girl after my own heart. We can always use more blankets." He offered a hand. "Ferris Bueller."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Dawn Summers," she shook it. "How do you feel about bridges and hammocks in your forts? I'm partial to them, but they require more pillows and a degree in engineering so they don't fall over."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Am I the only one not wearing pajamas?" Jamie asked. "Because I don't want to be the only odd man out."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Dawn glanced from herself to Ferris, then back at Jamie. "If you're the odd man out, can't you just make another you, and be all evened up?"

Sometimes she was a little too literal.

Alex was still up, even if it was late. Hey, it was a Saturday, she didn't need to be asleep yet.

Clad in her pajamas (http://pics.livejournal.com/stylin_wizard/pic/00002ht1) and slippers (http://pics.livejournal.com/stylin_wizard/pic/00003ae5), she made her way to the common room.

"Whoa, nice!" she admired the work he was doing. Hey, forts were cool. She just wouldn't ever admit that to her brothers.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Why thank you," Ferris replied with a self-satisfied smile. "I'm afraid we have a toll for entry. Either a pillow or a blanket to add to our humble fort."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Alex grinned, amused. "Oh, right. Be right back, then."

She made it back to her room and grabbed her blanket that happened to be hanging on the edge of the bed, and hightailed it back to the common room.

"Will this work?" She offered up the blanket to him.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Hey new girl!" Jamie said with a friendly wave. "Cost for admission is pizza."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Alex laughed and waved back. "Oh, it is? Dang, I don't have any with me." Maybe she could conjure one up?

Hermione had been trying to get herself organized for the coming week, which was why she had completely lost track of time, and why she ended up in the common room far too late.

"That's..." she began, and sighed. "I don't think that's really the proper use for any of those things."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked over at Hermione and grinned. "Hey everyone! Granger's here to show off her new tattoo!"

[smartestone]

Hermione rolled her eyes. "I don't have a tattoo. Anyone who knows me can tell you that without needing proof," she said.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"There's no such thing as proper use. There's only plausible use. If you think it can be done, then chances are someone has tried it and chances are that someone is me." Still, he offered a hand. "Ferris Bueller, fort builder extraordinaire."

[smartestone]

"Hermione Granger, would-be prefect," she said, almost using that as a warning, but she shook his hand. "Why are you building a fort?"

Mikey was back in Fandom! This made him happy! And a happy Mikey rarely slept at night! So he was out looking for people to meet, as there were newbies about! He was also using copious amounts of exclamation points in his narrative!

"Dude! Pillow forts? Totally awesome!"

Sometimes, Michelangelo had a funny way of forgetting that he was a giant, walking, talking turtle.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"You're a giant, walking, talking turtle," Ferris said, stating the blatantly obvious. "Jamie was right, I wasn't seeing things." Not one to be intentionally rude, Ferris tossed a pillow to Mikey. "Hey, Ferris Bueller, building a fort. Wanna help?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Mikey caught the pillow and grinned a little more as he bounced over to the fort.

"I totally do, dude! The name's Michelangelo, but everyone calls me Mikey. Easier to spell. You must be new here, man?"

One of the ramparts was walked into by a rather raggedly-dressed young man with his nose stuck firmly in a book. He stopped, moved slowly to go around it, and then looked up to see if he could find a place to sit. His eyes settled on Ferris instead.

"What're you doing?"

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"We're," Ferris clarified, "building a fort. A mighty fort that can withstand even the strongest summer breeze. I'm not entirely sure about winter, but that's outside and we're inside, so hopefully we won't have to find out. Wanna help?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"And what will your fort be keeping out?"

It seemed the most important question to him.
