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?]

"Did you do this?" It was a legitimate assumption when the person being asked was smiling like that.

"Did I start a fire?" Emmett asked. "No."

"There's a fire?!" Merlin really needed to learn more about this time. Really now.

"Uh, no. I don't smell any smoke," Emmett said quickly before Merlin could freak out. "The noise you're hearing is a fire alarm. This is just a drill so we'll be ready for a real fire."

"...Why would they do a drill this late?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Because they hate all you people who need to sleep?" he suggested.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin just grumbled under his breath about vampires being too excited about everyone not sleeping.

And then he remembered that he had needed to talk to Emmett about something before the damn alarms sounded.

"Did you call Francine 'Badgerface' yesterday?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Have you seen her mad?" Emmett asked. "She does get a badgerface."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin just covered his face with his hand before he said something out of turn. Patience. Infinite patience that came from dealing with Arthur for a long time.

Well, it felt long.

"Don't call her Badgerface."

"You gonna beat me up if I do?" Emmett asked, chuckling.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Merlin just sighed instead. "Don't say it to her face, then."

"Oh I would never," Emmett said, trying to look innocent. He so would.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
For some reason, Merlin didn't believe him there.

"And stop calling me gay," He said, just moving on past that thing. Because it was like dealing with Arthur. Only younger.

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, stop doing gay things," Emmett countered.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
He was going to go mad dealing with Emmett.

"I haven't done anything--like that." Well, there was Will, but that was ages ago!

"Dude. No need to tell me that. You've got virgin written all over you," he said. "But you and that Arthur dude...kinda...kinda girly."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin, and his ears, flushed red. "I'm his servant, not--that."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeeeeeeeeeah," Emmett drawled out. "I'm sure you're not. It just sounds like that when I read notes."

"Because you're the one reading it," Merlin grumbled. "No one else says that."

Yes they did.

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Dude! It is so not me," Emmett said. "You're a dude who dresses another dude. What does that sound like to you?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you give him baths too?" he asked.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I've drawn them for him, but he's perfectly capable of bathing himself," Merlin replied sulkily.

What was everyone's problem with the whole servant business.

Emmett nodded for a few moments. "...kinda gay."
