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.


[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 not hear the BZZZZ? It's a fire drill," she explained. "Hopefully."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Of course I heard the noise. I just don't know what a fire drill is. Or I didn't before this all happened."

Makejoy padded around his legs and nudged Amber.

"If there's a fire? There's the noise. We all scramble out here. If it's a drill, there's the buzzing, and we all scramble out here. Apparently we don't know yet."

Amber was a little groggy.

But oh, Makejoy! She bent and gave her loving, and actually attempted to pick her up so she could hold her. Makejoy was just a big puppy.

Makejoy went up happily. After all, she was big, but she was also a puppy. And very very warm, what with all the fur.

She went for Amber's face, though, to lick her cheek.

Liir laughed and reached over to scritch her.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber buried her face in her fur and then giggled at the licks to her cheek.

"I'm going to be dead come sun up."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He blinked and peered at her.

"I should hope not."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"It's inevitable," she murmured against the puppy. "Up late. Up now. Dead morning."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head, kissed her cheek.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"If I snooze in Mr. Jameson's class it's detention for sure," she told him. "He's just waiting for a reason to flunk me."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I'll make you some coffee or something tomorrow morning. Coffee and a good breakfast for you."

Food usually kept one up.

"I'm used to this kind of nonsense, so I'll be fine."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

She set the puppy down and wrapped her arms around Liir's waist. "You're easy like that, Liir. And thanks; breakfast and coffee sounds great, actually. But I am so sleeping in."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I won't fight you there," and he smiled into her hair, wrapping his own arms around her in return.

"Easy?"

He laughed a little and gave her a squeeze.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Yah, I mean, easy. Nothing really ever seems to bother you much here. Like when you turned into a girl? Man, that totally freaked me out, having boy parts and everything, but you're like... easy breezy. About everything."

A beat.

"I'm kind of limpy. Can we sit down?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded and made sure to put some of the cloak on the ground for them to sit on so the cold didn't soak in from below.

"Sure. Sit."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber sat down and drew her knees up in against her chest, wrapping her arms around them. "Ugh. This school ought to be shot."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Good luck with that," he said with a glance around.

"I suppose there's good reason for it, but they could do this in the summer."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"They could do it during the day like a normal fucking school," she muttered.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He looked at her for a moment before pulling her into his lap.

"Breakfast. Coffee. Sleeping in."

He considered.

"Backrub?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

She leaned against him, closed her eyes and nodded. "...yes, please."

A beat.

"And I totally want to do it again."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Probably not tonight, though," he mused with a faint smile.

'You'll need your rest."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"You could wake me up," she suggested, nuzzling in against his chest.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He smiled.

"I'll wake you up, of course."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber would be so dead.

"...maybe tomorrow night? Er.. tonight?" She slipped her hand up under to lay it against his bare tummy. "Don't you... want to?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He put a hand over hers.

"Tonight."

He breathed in.

"And of course I want to. But only if you're up for it. If you're that tired, you should rest."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I'm sleeping in I told you and then I'll nap after class so I'll be wide awake." Her fingers danced over his skin. "I want to try new stuff."
