Fifth floor common room, Wednesday night

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka was totally going to take out the scourge of those STUPID ANGEL STATUES that had been following him all day, and had apparently been abducting people, too. All those people who'd been in the park... Like Deadpool, and Turtle, and... Other people. He couldn't find Mel anywhere tonight, but luckily the graveyard wasn't anywhere NEAR the park, right?

He'd dug around in the basement until he found a sledgehammer; now he just needed a posse. Or so he told himself. Tonight, "looking for a posse" consisted of falling asleep curled up on the couch with the TV on, a sledgehammer on the floor, and a chinchilla on his lap.

[Open as common rooms are. However, expect not much from me, as I go to bed soon.]

"Sledgehammer. Good call." Rikku wandered in with a sharp nod to ... oh. He was sleeping.

Okay. She'd guard the door anyway. Guardian. It was her gig.

She sat on the floor near the door, Godhand strapped on - and how reassuring it was, to have that again - and watched to see if more people would drift in.

Ron walked into the common room looking for food. "Hey Rikku! What's the good word?" Ron asked.

[the_merriest]

"Hiya," Rikku said, waving. "Kinda jumpy about this whole ... you know."

Abductions. Weirdness. And so on.

"Thought maybe it'd be better for everyone to hang out together, yeah?"

"Well it beats sitting in your room and driving yourself mad," Ron said grabbing a seat on the couch. "Besides at least this way we can watch the telly."

[the_merriest]

Rikku nodded. "Yeah. Maybe we ... I dunno. Take turns guarding the door? Maybe we organize something for tomorrow. I ... just thought it'd be good, to be around people." She smiled, nodding to Sokka. "Even sleepy ones."

"Sounds like a good idea," Ron agreed, then nodded his head at Sokka. "Perhaps we should teach him a lesson."

[raspberryturk]

"Yo, Rikku," Reno offered her a bit of a tense smile, giving his EMR a nearly-casual tap on his shoulder before taking a seat beside her.

[the_merriest]

"Hi," she said softly. "So that's your ... electro-thing, huh?"

She lifted the weapon resting in her lap. "Godhand. Ancient legendary and bright red."

[raspberryturk]

"Electromag-Rod," Reno agreed with a nod. "Metal stick what hits people good. Yours is... pointy." He offered a bit of a smile. "Nice."

[the_merriest]

She began unstrapping it from her arm. "It's ... like a claw, you just run up to things and punch or swipe and it slashes them pretty good." She nodded to the EMR. "What's the strap for?"

Ron threw a wad of paper at Sokka's head. "Don't you have a room for that?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno was wandering. As one is wont to do when one is insanely frustrated with oneself and needs to burn off steam. Which is how he found himself in his old common room, tapping his Mag-Rod on one shoulder.

It was nice to have his favorite toy all strapped into place again.

"Yo. Nice sledgehammer, zoto."

Ron looked up from the television at Reno before snorting in derision and turning his attention back to the TV.

[raspberryturk]

Reno rolled his eyes and gave a shake of his head.

"Nice to see you too, princess."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"There's a new statue out in the park," Ron snarked back. "Why don't you go visit it?"

[raspberryturk]

"Been thinkin' about it," Reno said, completely serious. "Got the urge to break things, yo. Kickin' myself for not seein' this coming. Read the notes and- pfeh. Not like you give two shits, right?" He gave the metal rod another tap against his shoulder. It was a security blanket kind of thing, really.

"Wow, Red, you really know how to give a girl an opening, don't you?" Dōjima asked. "You've got a real nice stick, yo."

[raspberryturk]

"Rod," he corrected, sticking out his tongue. "Gives one hell of a shock, zoto."

Reno was very proud of his EMR.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Now, are you sure Rikku isn't just saying that to soothe your ego?" she teased. "Your rod can't be that shocking, if you're just waving it around like that."

[raspberryturk]

"Oh, ow. I'm hurt, Doji." He stuck out his tongue. "I dunno if my EMR and I can take the abuse, zoto."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Is that a student or a pet?" Dōjima asked as she came in, watching the furry thing on Sokka's lap warily. "I make no assumptions, not anymore."

[the_merriest]

"That's his chinchilla," Rikku said quickly, looking up. "H-hey. Are you ... how are you?"

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

Dōjima blinked. "Wow, Rikku, somehow you made that sound dirty."

"I'm avoiding my place, so that I don't have to acknowledge the room across the hall. If I have to think about what Zoe-sama said...I'll go crazy. Crazier. One of the two, and it won't be pretty."

[the_merriest]

"He usually does that. The, uh. Unintentional innuendo with the chinchilla. And even that sounds dirty." She bit her lip. "I ... got my Godhand out. I was thinking maybe it's better to be around people, yeah? We can all watch for each other."

"And ... it's ... you know. The past? There are ... portals and dimensional stuff and it's gonna be okay. Yeah?" She didn't sound all that convinced herself, but she was trying.

"Angels. Romeo got abducted by a tacky lawn ornament angel that he'd probably adore." Yurika ran a hand through her hair and giggled. "It would be funny, if you know, it wasn't brain-breaky."
