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?]

"God, I wish," Angela sighed, pulling that cardigan around herself a little tighter. It was cold, damn it. "I could so go for that right now."

"If someone pulled the alarm, I'm killing them. I'm going to pull the alarm off the wall and beat them to death with it," she decided, pulling her hands inside her sweatshirt sleeves.

Brooke was a little more violent than usual today, apparently.

"I'll try and talk you out of jail later," Angela offered after a moment. Even if she wasn't entirely sure she could pull that one off as justifiable homicide.
gobrookeyourself: (being all serious)

"I'm sorry," Brooke said, realizing how she must sound. "I'm whiny. And awake. And it's cold." At least she had a cute whine.

"I knooow." Yeah, Angela was a little whiny herself, and gestured Brooke closer, because huddling up beside someone was bound to at least take the edge off, right?

"I think there's a rule that these things have to be done when you're just dozing off, or in the middle of a really nice dream," she decided, and damn it had been a nice dream.
gobrookeyourself: (hating everything)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2009-02-19 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Brooke had no problem with closer. For several reasons. So closer she was.

"Can we hurt whoever made that rule?" she wondered. "Because they need to be hurt a lot. And I wasn't even sleeping!"

"I can work with that," Angela decided. It really didn't take her long to come to that decision.

"What were you doing awake at 2am?" It had to be asked, come on.
gobrookeyourself: (facepalm)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2009-02-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately for Brooke, nothing dirty. She'd given up on getting anywhere with that by 2 am. "Not sleeping. Tossing and turning. Giving myself bedhead without any of the benefit." She didn't have bedhead.

"I swear, that really seems to be going around," Angela remarked, wrinkling her nose in sympathy. She just hadn't really worked out why yet. That was probably for the best.
gobrookeyourself: (whine)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2009-02-19 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm gonna get bags under my eyes and sometimes you really do need beauty sleep and why is it this laaaaaaaate?" Amazing, she could party all night in the right instance, but get her in a bad mood and she'd whine about anything.

And misery does love company. Huddled pajama-clad company. They can bounce off each other.

"Because the world hates us," she decided, folding her arms with a pout. "And I'm pretty sure we can't even have done anything to piss it off lately."
gobrookeyourself: (cinderella)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2009-02-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Brooke thought about it. "I haven't done anything even supremely bitchy since I've been here," she realized. "Can I blame a past life?"

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Angela nodded, because she was pretty sure she hadn't done anything bitchy either. "Who knew residual bad karma had this kick," she grumbled, bouncing on her toes a moment. "Because whoever does, really should've warned us."
gobrookeyourself: (pouting)

"Could hurt them too," Brooke grumbled back. She seemed stuck on the hurting.

"I'm pretty good with a baseball bat," Angela offered. Not that she'd be likely to actually hit someone with it. She could still threaten.
gobrookeyourself: (oopsie)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2009-02-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm a good slapper?" she tried.

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Together we can take them on." Angela nodded firmly. "And if that fails, we bribe someone else to do it for us."

"Money's still in the dorms," said Brooke. "I'll flash them, that should work."

"Between us, I think we could have a willing mob," she decided, a little smirk creeping in.

What? The thought of that amused her a little.
