Second Floor Common Room - Tuesday Afternoon

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

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]

Adjusting the headset she'd somehow managed to procure, Temari held up the magical Shamwow. "It's a shammy, it's a towel, it's a sponge! Look how fast it works!"

Harvey watched this all with the excitement of a six year old girl who got a pony for Christmas. "ARE YOU TELLING ME I WON'T HAVE TO USE PAPER TOWELS ANYMORE?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Never again will you have to spend money on sponges or paper towels," Temari confirmed, kneeling down to press the Shamwow to the carpet. "Look at that, half the water is sucked up in one light pressing."

Jamie was still shirtless. He was also cold and wet.

He was also boggling at Harvey and Temari.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?"

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"THAT IS AMAZING!" Harvey got down close to the floor so he could see the magic of Shamwow. "BUT, VINCE, WHAT ABOUT THE LIQUID THAT GOT UNDERNEATH THE CARPET?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Are you following me camera man?" Temari asked, wringing the Shamwow out into a convenient and too small bowl. "You just push down again and it's all sucked up. It's made in Germany, so don't accept imitators."

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"WRONG? THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, MY WET FRIEND!" Harvey said, practically bouncing over towards Jamie. "WE'RE HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME GREAT NEW PRODUCTS THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE!"

Ender was making his way up from the pool when he spotted Temari.

She was behaving... oddly, so he poked his room into the common room. "Are you having a seizure?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Did you know the average person spends up to twenty dollars a week on paper towels? Not anymore!" Temari asked, holding up the Shamwow. "Not with this baby!"

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"YOU HEAR THAT?" Harvey said to the...well, to the wall. "GERMANY! THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD!"

[endsthegame]

He... blinked. That was a rarity.

It took him a few seconds to realise that after all this time, he might finally be seeing a gremlin bite. "Put it down," Ender advised. He was feeling a little thrown off-balance yet.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"You can use it in the house!" Temari said, wringing it out again into the bowl and just getting more of the carpet wet. "On the car! On the boat! On the RV!"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Wow. You are like... Louder than me," Jamie said backing up slowly. "You feeling all right?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Shoving the Shamwow at Jamie's chest, Temari started to dry him off. "See how fast it works? Olympic divers use this to dry off."

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

This kid wasn't nearly excited enough about these products! Maybe he needed proof of their cleaning power.

"ARE YOU TIRED OF STAINS ON YOUR CLOTHES? ARE YOU AFRAID THAT KETCHUP STAIN--" Harvey paused and looked down at Ender's shirt. There was no ketchup stain. Grabbing a ketchup bottle seemingly out of nowhere, Harvey decided to fix that problem. "THERE! ARE YOU AFRAID THAT KETCHUP STAIN WON'T COME OUT?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Is that a shamwow? I was waiting for one of these to show up," Jamie asked. "And you're being weird."

Jamie frowned. Temari drying himself off and talking about shamwow.

Clearly something was off. If so there was actions that needed to be taken. He stamped his food and created a duplicate.

"Go get the camcorder," he said.

This moment had to be recorded.

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"I BET A PRODUCT LIKE THAT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY, RIGHT?" Harvey asked.

[endsthegame]

"I wasn't," Ender said, and now he'd gone back to blinking. Both at the boy, and at his shirt.

And at Temari, too. "Until you squirted it on me."

He had a fantastic grasp of the obvious.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"You'd be wrong!" Temari said. "For only the low low prince of 19.95, this could be yours! But wait, there's more..."

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO TAPE THIS, SON!" Harvey said, looking even more excited. He was going to have an actual camera to talk to now! "THE COMBINED CLEANING POWERS OF OXYCLEAN AND SHAMWOW ARE SO AMAZING, YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO WATCH THE MAGIC AGAIN AND AGAIN!"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Show him how the OxyClean works, Billy!" Temari cheered Harvey right on.

[endsthegame]

"Let's not do that," he said, but somehow, he had the feeling that wouldn't help. Ender's eyes flitted to the exits. "Temari, calm down, brat."

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"MORE?!" Harvey's look of shock was way too fake. "HOW COULD IT GET ANY BETTER?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Off to pillage the other common rooms for something better to drink, Cal found himself in the second floor one with a tilted head and an expression that lay somewhere between bewildered and oddly entertained from only just a few seconds of observation.

Harvey ignored anything Ender was saying and went to trying to get his shirt off. All while smiling at the camera. Or the wall, rather. "THE CLEANING POWER OF OXYCLEAN WILL GET RID OF THAT STAIN IN NO TIME!"
