The dorm lawn- Wednesday night at 2 am

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

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.

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

That was the sort of thing Brooke expected from someone like Claudia, but what the hell was that?

Which may have led to the exclamation of "OH DEAR GOD THERE ARE TWO OF YOU AT THIS SCHOOL?"

Harper looked confused for a moment. "Two of us? Oh, you must mean Alex. Yeah, there are two of us here from New York City," she said proudly.

Blame two am, or the fact that Brooke's retinas had taken a leave of absence and it had to be messing with her mental functions, but her response was sort of stuck being a flailing of the hand toward Harper's outfit, and an exclamation of "Ducks!" followed by "Why?"

"Oh, the nightgown didn't come like this," explained Harper. "I thought it was a little boring when my grandmother bought it for me, so I added all the ducks to give it a little flair."

She couldn't believe she was asking, but: "Why not just sew patches of ducks on... How do you sleep?"

"They're soft and squishy!" said Harper, pinching one of the ducks to show how easily it collapsed. "They're really not that bad for sleeping. I already had someone ask me to make another nightgown for her."

Brooke squeaked.

"I need to go lie down."

"Yeah, fire alarms always seem to go off at the wrong time, don't they?" said Harper.
