Third Floor Hallway - Wednesday Evening

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

How Ferris got the plastic sheeting or the dessert toppings really wasn't up for discussion. Why he was in a Tarzan-style loincloth bathing suit, however, was. It wasn't like he was planning to use the entire hallway as a Slip-n-Slide, only part of it.

The hallway was obviously open and partially obstructed, as hallways often are. Don't mind Ferris though. Really.

[OOC: Open as hallways are. Fellow occupants of the 3rd floor, I apologize.]

Jamie walked out of his room and looked down on the floor and then at Ferris.

"Nice loincloth."

"I pride myself on my manliness," Ferris replied with a grin. "I have a plan, Jamie. A plan that a gentlemen of your nature could very well appreciate."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Does it involve me dressing up like Little Bo Peep? Because my petticoat is at the dry cleaners."

Katara eyed Jamie suspiciously, trying not to grin. "This is totally half your fault, isn't it."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Who? Me?" Jamie said with his most innocent of innocent expressions. "I just walked out of my room!"

On his way up to the fifth floor, Romeo stopped and closely inspected this scene. "Is there a masked ball planned for tonight?" he asked ... well, Tarzan.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid not, although I look forward to one if anyone ever puts such a ball together. Tonight, we lay down plastic, slather it up with slippery goods and hurl ourselves at it the age-old practice of the Slip N' Slide."

[withoutverona]

Romeo took a moment to process this. Was it some odd custom?

Once he was done, he slid out of his Hawaiian shirt and stood shirtless in the hall. "And, I imagine, we should start like so?"

Turtle, on her way upstairs to perhaps see if Jeff made it okay through another day of a public speaking class, she paused on the second floor and sadly shook her head.

"I will never," she declared, "understand boys."

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Wanna join us?" Ferris asked, recognizing Turtle. "You're in my class." Okay, so it wasn't his class, but Ferris always thought in terms of himself.

Katara poked her head out of her room. "I think I'm worried about you," she informed Ferris.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Me? You're worried about me? That's sweet, considering you're the one who's fully clothed when there's a perfectly good Slip N' Slide out here to be used."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka tsk-tsked and waggled a finger at her. "Now, young lady, what have I told you about you and the being-of-no-fun?"

[withoutverona]

Romeo, who hadn't seen Katara since the welcome picnic, gave her a grin and a half-wave from his seat by the wall. "The chocolate feels much better on the skin than one would think," he informed her.

"Ferris, what are you doing?" Meg asked.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Aha! It's the sibling whose company I actually enjoy. Meg, don't you know a Slip N' Slide when you see one?" The loincloth might have distracted from that. It was a bold fashion statement in any decade.

Rikku stepped into the hallway and ... dude.

She bounced on her toes excitedly and clapped her hands.

"This. Is so. Awesome."

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Finally, someone who appreciates fine art when they see it!" He lunged himself at the plastic for another slide, then scrambled to his feet at Rikku's end and stood up, offering a slightly chocolatey hand. "Hi, Ferris Bueller."

[withoutverona]

Romeo waved at Rikku. Goo-ily.

"Thou must join us!" he insisted.

It just so happened that, on this night, Tamaki had decided to explore the other floors of the dorms. Little did he expect the sight that was about to meet his eyes as he entered the third floor hallway.

Astounded beyond all words, he could only stare in shock and wonder if this was a custom that was normal for regular high school kids.

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Tamaki!" Ferris called when he noticed him. He waved him over. "You're just in time for dessert."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Little brother!" Katara teased, waving at him.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Grinning evilly, Sokka poked Tamaki on the shoulder and pointed down the hallway. "OH HEY LOOK IT'S RENO!!!"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka stared.

"DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!"

...and started stripping down.

He hadn't taken off his clothes for any of the shirtless events around the island, because he knew how less-than-impressive he looked undressed. But this? Not a second thought. Soon he was down to just his loincloth -- a real, actual loincloth, not just a banana-hammock bathing suit -- and raring to go.

Ferris blinked, then looked off to the side to the audience, then looked back at Sokka to talk to him. "I thought I was the only one who truly appreciated the mighty loincloth."
