The dorm lawn- Wednesday night at 2 am

At 2 am exactly, a loud buzzing sound rang through the dorms. An not just any buzzing. A loud, obnoxious "BZZZT!" followed by a two-second pause, followed by another "BZZZT!", followed by another two-second pause, followed by a... You get the idea. And the really bad part was the way it tended to feel like it was inside your head when it "BZZZT"ed as you were passing by in the halls.

So due to the "BZZZT"ing and fire safety regulations, the students had to drag their tired, cranky selves out of bed (or whatever), make their way down the halls and stairwells, and file out onto the dorm lawn in the chilly, damp weather, and did we mention it was 2 am?

The Fandom fire department was on hand, but they'd probably make everyone wait for a while just because they were cranky, too.


[And here is your fire drill post! See here for details.

How did it take us three years to do this, game? How?]

"It's cute, isn't it? I bought the nightie and added the ducks myself," said Harper proudly. Just because she had sewing skills didn't mean she had taste.

She nodded emphatically. "It totally is! But, Harper, isn't it hard to sleep in?"

"That's what I thought, too, until I saw the actual episode and realized that she was wearing it out on the street! Not really. I mean, the duckies are kind of soft and squishy," said Harper, squeezing one of them to show Amber how soft they were.

AHAHAHA! "Ah, I see that. Does it sound dirty if I asked to squish one of your ducks?"

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, that doesn't sound dirty at all!" said Harper. "Go ahead and squish 'em."

Amber stepped over and did just that and oh my gosh they were like, addicting. She couldn't squeeze just one. "Harper, these are so cute! I will pay you to make me a nightgown!"

"Really? Because I could totally make one for you," said Harper, grinning.

Fire alarm early morning or not, Amber bounced. "I would love it, seriously! Maybe a purple one?"

"Purple is a really good color," said Harper, nodding. "It's too bad I don't have my fabric swatches with me. I had a whole bunch of purple that I was showing Geoffrey the other day while we were talking about costumes for the play."

"Seriously? Oh my gosh maybe you can show me before you make it so I can decide on what fabric? Or I mean, you know what you're doing, obviously."

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll definitely show you so you can pick out what color and fabric you like," said Harper.

"Yay! What room are you in?" she asked, a little hyper now.

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Room 417," said Harper excitedly. Yeah, she still wasn't happy about the alarm interrupting a good dream, but finding someone who wanted her to sew something totally made up for it.

"Oh my gosh, you're just down the hall from me. So cool!"

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Cool! We're neighbors," said Harper, grinning. "You should definitely come by sometime and I'll show you what kind of fabric I can get."

"I totally will, I promise. I am way too interested in that nightgown now."
