Second floor common room, Wednesday afternoon

[gobrookeyourself]

Congratulations, second floor common room, you were getting decorated courtesy of Brooke Davis today. Blame it on the weetiny carolers putting her in a Christmassy mood, but she'd gone out and bought a mass of moddable decorations to put up. Maybe if she had stuff left over, she'd take to the stairwells or something.

So that's what Brooke was doing, letting the tiny carolers carol their tiny hearts out. And she'd even taken using mistletoe liberally, not that she was standing under it with anyone she didn't want to.


[Oooooooooooopen!]

Angela poked her head in, on the search for anyone else still around.

"Wow. Very festive," she remarked. "Best I did was put up some lights."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I got inspired," she explained. "So I'm blinging up for Christmas. Wanna help?"

"I am great with a bit of tinsel," Angela promised with a grin at Brooke as she made her way in.

She paused, peering at the carollers a moment. "I guess you didn't have anything to do with them?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"No, they just showed up," she said, gesturing towards the bags- yes, plural- of decorations if Angela wanted to go through it. "It was annoying at first, but they do a really good version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. It's catchy."

"And they're small enough to be herded away if they start to drive you crazy," she suggested as she went to poke through one of the bags. "Kind of cute, really."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Yeah, they'll probably get old about the time the Christmas specials start tonight," she said, moving to the doorway of the kitchen to start stringing garland around it. "So you're here for Christmas?"

"It looks even better'n my room in here," Kaylee said admiringly as she wandered in. "All sparkly an' stuff!"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Is your room sparkly?" Brooke asked. She'd never heard of a room being described like that before.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Well, with the lights up and the...shiny stuff," Kaylee said, indicating tinsel. "But this is prettier."

Kaylee had done some decorating earlier in the week.

'Sparkly' was a way to put it.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Are you... shined out, or do you want to help?" Brooke asked, waving towards the bags. "There's plenty to do still..."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I'm never shinied out," Kaylee assured her with remarkable seriousness as she gleefully made a beeline for the tinsel. Shhhhh, she liked shiny things. "Is this always part of Christmas here? All the decoratin'? An' the scary plants?" she added, casting a glance towards the ceiling.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Uh huh. In a lot of places decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving, and they like, engulf houses," Brooke explained. "And the plants are not scary. They are good plants. If you stand under it with a hot guy, you have an excuse to make out with him, per tradition. See, good plant."

"Common room on my floor must feel so inadequate," Angela said, shooting the girl a smile over her shoulder as she balanced a piece of holly.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I know!" Kaylee agreed, grinning. "But maybe someone's decoratin' upstairs too an' we don't even know."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, I hope so," she said, obviously picking up on all the festive spirit here. "My roommate and I put lights around our room, but I didn't even think to try and do anything outside of that."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I did up my room all shiny but I should've gone out to the common room, too," Kaylee mused. "I mean, I wouldn't want th'other floors t'feel left out."

"And here I thought there'd be one place left safe from holiday cheer," Jess said, smirking and peering around the common room.

[gobrookeyourself]

"With me around? You should know better," Brooke smiled. "Planning on helping?"

[noboynextdoor.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, you look like you're doing pretty well on your own," Jess said. "I'd hate to mess up your theme or anything."

[gobrookeyourself]

"The theme is holiday cheer," Brooke told him. "You can't mess that up. Also, mistletoe."

[noboynextdoor.livejournal.com]

"Oh really?" Jess asked, perking up a little. "I suppose it would be in the Christmas spirit to help you out."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Nowhere is safe," Angela told him cheerfully. "You haven't worked that out yet?"

[noboynextdoor.livejournal.com]

"The little carolers that seemed to be everywhere I went today kind of clued me in," Jess admitted. "I didn't think people who were still here would have much in the way of cheer though."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"All the more reason to put the effort in," Angela told him. "If we're stuck at school, we might as well make it good anyway."

"I guess I should be grateful you're all here. I thought the dorms would be totally dead today and everyone would be home."
