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?]

"Let's call it a moment of insanity and confusion after being hauled out of bed to that noise at 2am," Angela decided with a little quirk of a smile.

"And he does not get ice cream," she added, just in case that needed clarifying at all.

"You're getting ice cream," Bob asked. "From a girl? A real live girl? Dresden, Dresden, Dresden there just might be hope for you yet. Not a lot of hope. But some."

"Definitely no ice cream," Harry agreed. "And yeah, insanity sounds about right."

"Covers a whole lot of eventualities," Angela agreed. "I accidentally hit on your boyfriend, but it's okay, I was insane! Or I ate all your Lucky Charms, but I couldn't help it. Insanity!"

... she was at the point of being a little babbly, yes. She was sleepy. And cold, damn it.

"It's a great defense." Harry nodded. "And if I ever had to use it, I can just submit Bob as evidence. Nobody'd believe I was sane, putting up with him."

"Nobody outside of this school would believe you had a talking skull," Angela pointed out. "Instant crazy credibility."

"There we go then," Harry said. "I'm set for life."

"I just need to start telling people I go to school in the future," she said. "I think that'll go down well."

"You're from the past?" Harry asked. "Cool. When?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Not far," she said. "It's '95 back home. It's weird. I haven't quite explained that part to my dad yet..."

"I can see that being kind of a weird conversation," Harry said.

"He came here, talked to a felt frog, and has somehow managed to rationalize it," she shared. "So I am just not going to rock the boat."

Harry nodded. "Probably a good choice. Why make trouble, right?"

"Big believer in letting things go when it suits me," she said with a nod.
