sixth floor ballpit | afternoon | monday | july 27

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal hadn't ventured up to the sixth floor since it'd been renovated and, now that he was here, he didn't know if he'd be leaving.

There was a ball pit.

It took Hannibal a minute to realize that the ballpit was real and not some trap to get him to do his homework or study. No, it was an actual ballpit. As soon as he got over his shock, he was kicking off his shoes and diving into that giant ballpit.

Ballpit!

[oh yeah, first post in the ballpit! getting the silly stuff now while there's no eeeevil bde yet! open, of course!]

Since Chuck was headed up to the roof anyway he figured he'd check out the new stuff on the sixth floor. The ballpit was a weird addition. How old did the administration think they were?

He was totally unsurprised to see Hannibal in there but had the decency to look confused.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Quantum psychics," he quipped and chucked a ball at Chuck. "What's it look like?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

In a surprising show of reflexes, Chuck actually managed to slap the ball away. "Hey! Are you four?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"No but sometimes, I can act like I am," he said and stood up to wade through the balls. "What, too cool for you?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck rolled his eyes. "I just don't see how much fun can be had swimming in a pool of plastic balls."

"You lack imagination," he said and tossed two balls at him this time. "And creativity."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I don't lack--ow!" Chuck picked up the one ball that hit him and threw it back at Hannibal. "Quit being a dick."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I look nothing like my dick, you should know that," he said, turning so the ball bounced harmlessly off his shoulder. "Get in if you think you can handle it. Can't be the first time you've had balls flying at your head."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Oh you're so creative," Chuck said, even as he toed off his shoes. "You're lucky I'm bored."

He shrugged off his jacket before sliding into the ballpit. "Well. Consider me thrilled."

"You know a school is awesome when it has its own ballpit," Layla commented as she sat down at the edge of the pit to pull off her sneakers.

Surprised that Chuck had even gotten into the ballpit, it took Hannibal a few moments to wade over to him and then just try to push him over.

When you needed to make your own fun, aggression tended to win out.

"You're telling me," Hannibal agreed, dipping down till only his head was visible. "I haven't been in one of these in freaking years."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck didn't quite fall on his ass but there was some flailing as he tried to keep his balance. "You asshole!"

Clearly revenge was in order, which would be why Chuck tried to push Hannibal over next.

"Same here," Layla said standing up on the ledge and then doing a cannonball jump into a pit. "The last time was in one I didn't even have horns yet."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal laughed and tried to dodge that push but mobility wasn't a strong point in a ballpit so he toppled into the balls and had to scramble to get back up.

He flung a ball at Chuck's head to give him time to get closer to him again.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

That stopped Hannibal short.

"Horns?" he asked once she'd come back up from out of the balls.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck grinned and ducked, to avoid getting hit and to be able to reach down and grab more ammo to throw at Hannibal.

Raven had felt a surge of almost childlike glee from her room on the fifth floor, so naturally she was drawn upstairs to seek out its source. "Hello, Chuck, Layla, Hannibal," she greeted those already there, then stared at the ballpit. "What is this?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Dammit," Hannibal said, holding up an arm to try and fend the array of balls away before trying to shove a ball down Chuck's shirt.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Ballpit!" he announced happily. "Come in, it's fun!"

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Well obviously I don't have them any more," she said with a smirk. "Do you really find that odd in a place like this?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Not odd but surprising," he said, stretching out in the balls. "Why'd you have horns? Even gypsy curse?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Oh god, those are cold," Chuck said, struggling to get the ball out of his shirt and to get the hell away from Hannibal.

"Ballpit?" Raven repeated, moving closer to the edge. Well, she did want to try to start expressing her emotions, so perhaps this would be a good time to experience happiness. "You swim among the balls?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You're such a weak ass," Hannibal said, laughing as Chuck pulled away. "Plastic balls, Chuck. I know you like the real stuff but they can't all be that warm."
