Second Floor Common Room - Tuesday Afternoon

Sure, there was inauguration highlights you could be watching. Sure, there was snow that could be played in. Sure, there was homework that could be done.

But why would you do any of those things when two of your gremlin-bitten classmates were destroying the common room in order to prove that their awesome new cleaning products worked?

"HELLO, FANDOM! BILLY MAYS HERE TO SHOW YOU THE CLEANING POWER OF OXYCLEAN!" Harvey pointed at a headset-clad Temari. "AND WITH ME IS MY FRIEND VINCE WHO IS HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE SUCKING POWER OF THE SHAMWOW CLOTH!"

Harvey then opened up a bottle of soda and proceeded to spill it on the carpet. "SHOW 'EM, VINCE!"

[Um, yes, Harvey and Temari think they are Billy Mays and Vince the Shamwow guy. As a warning, you might get stuff spilled on your clothes just to prove the awesome cleaning power of Oxyclean]

"Hi, it's Vince with Shamwow!" Temari greeted him. "You'll be saying wow every time you use it!"

Cal faltered for a moment, desperately trying to keep down any indication of a laugh or a grin or anything. His head nodded slightly with the effort and he struggled for something to say.

"...Wow," was what he managed.

And he hadn't even used it yet.

But seriously. Wow.

Cal's eyes shifted. God, he loved this place and it's insistence on plunging into utter delightful chaos sometimes.

Especially since it never seemed to happen to him.

"I don't know what that is," he stated, "but I bet you'll tell me all about it."

"You bet we will!" Temari said. "Wine, coffee, cola..." She spilled a soda onto the floor. "Just a light press and half the liquid is already out of the carpet!"

Don't laugh, Stephanides. Whatever you do, don't laugh.

"That's amazing!" he stated.

Cal dropped his jaw.

"No way!" he said. "I cannot believe it!"

"Just watch and see how awesome it is!"

"The suspense is killing me!"

[identity profile] not-a-mused.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Cal very kindly was.

"Holy crap!" he declared. "It's like magic!"

"Now see what a Shamwow can do!" Taking her Shamwow, Temari shoved it at the watery mess to sop it all up. "See how fast it works? Olympic divers use it like a towel it works so fast!"

That made no sense as to why speed would come into play.

"It's incredible! But, surely, these great products must cost a fortune! I certainly could never afford them on my budget."

Oh, Cal. Just stop.
