Fourth Floor Common Room: Thursday Afternoon.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Anyone coming into the common room would notice that it had been re-arranged for a more formal seating area. They might also notice various bits of futuristic equipment that have been dressed up in various cloth napkins to resemble some very crude clothing.

Visitors might also notice that there was also tea, cookies, curds, whey and doilies. Lots of doilies. Omg were there doilies.

However the one thing that might stick out the most in this setting was a large Klingon wearing a very FANCY hat as he chatted with all the little bits of equipment and daintily drank tea.

Why yes. Gremlins were involved! How did you guess?

"Oh Mr. Tricorder!" Worf exclaimed in a high pitched voice. "You're almost out of tea! Please let me get you a refill!"

Tea is being served in the fourth floor common room. By a Klingon who possibly thinks he's Little Miss Muffet.

[And yes, it is open]

Hoshi only ran into the common room to put something in the fridge, but the abundance of doilies and the Klingon in the hat told her that something off was going on.

"Worf? What in the world are you doing?" she asked.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Oh HELLLLLO!" Worf cried out in greeting. "Have you come fore tea?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah, I could always use a cup of tea," said Hoshi. Her first thought was to make sure none of the little green critters were still around. Her second thought was to hope that the memory card on her cell phone camera still had plenty of room for this video.

"Come! Come!" he exclaimed in his highest pitched voice. "There's plenty of seats and cookies even if Miss Data Padd doesn't think I can see her stuffing extra ones into her purse."

Worf then waved his finger at Miss Data Padd in an admonishing fashion. "We want everyone to get their fair share!"

Hoshi could barely suppress a giggle at the sight of Worf scolding a data padd like it was a naughty child. "Is there room at the table for a Bridge-enabled cell phone?" she asked, hitting the button to start recording.

"Now now!" Worf said now chastising Hoshi. "One musn't take calls during a party. We don't want to be rude, do we?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, rudeness is bad," said Hoshi, trying to hide her smirk. "People are just so rude nowadays, aren't they? And no one really takes the time to have a proper tea."

It had been ages since Alice had received a proper tea invite. So she put on her very best pinafore and found her way to the fourth floor common room.

... sure, she would be late for work, but there were more important things.

"Good eeeeeeeevening," she said snootily, from the doorway. It was afternoon, but 'afternoon' was harder to sneer. "Mrs. Pennywhistle. I believe I was invited? How darling of you to have me over for tea."

A shame she hadn't any fur stoles.

(invite totally sonofmogh's idea, because the mun RULES)

"Whhhhhy Heeeeelllllloooooooo!" Worf exclaimed in a high pitched voice. "Miss Littlebottom! It has been far too long. Would you care to sit with Mr. Tri-Corder? He's been slipping whiskey into his tea and thinking I haven't noticed."

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"Why, thank you, Mrs. Pennywhistle," Alice beamed. "I should be utterly delighted to sit with Mr. Tri-Corder. Have you any of those magnificent scones that you made last time? The Dormouse kept stealing mine, and now he's too fat to fit in the teapot."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf clucked his tongue in dismay. "Why it seems to me Mr. Dormouse needs to be tossed in a pot and boiled in his own pudding for being so rude," he declared as he offered Alice a plate of Oreos. "Here you are my dear. And please be careful of Mr. Tri-Corder's hands as they due tend to... wander when he's had a snoot full."

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"A touch harsh, Mrs. Pennywhistle," Alice sighed. "Though I knew a Queen who liked to behead those who stole her tarts, innocent or otherwise. And fear not, dear friend. Should Mr. Tri-Corder become frisky, I shall pour tea on his lap."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Oh my! A queen!" Worf said looking impressed. "I quite like the sound of her. And I dare say if Mr. Tri-Corder does anything I shall be quite put out!"

Adam was in search of food and people, so naturally he wandered out of his room and down the hall to the common room. And promptly stopped dead in his tracks when he took in the sight before him.

"..." The poor boy had no idea what to say.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Oh HELLO young man!" Worf exclaimed with girlish glee. "Would you like to have some tea?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hi," Adam replied, still staring at Worf. Oh, gremlin bites. "Sure, I guess."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Come! Come!" Worf said happily. "Have a seat next to Mrs. Terminal coupler. She's quite nice and a very good conversationalist."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Is that right?" Adam took a seat, wishing he had a camera on him. Poor Worf. "Well, I'm sure we'll get along great, then."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Be warned," Worf said cheerfully pouring a cup of tea. "She does tend to nod off now and thing. A little smack on the forehead will bring her right back."

Rose wandered into the common room to find a soda. There was probably still soda in the fridge, but the Tea Partying Klingon was way more interesting.

"Hello, Worf," she said, trying not to snicker. "There are doilies."

Maybe he'd missed the doilies.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Wellllll HELLO!" Worf exclaimed in his high pitched voice. "Darling! You're just in time for some tea and cookies!"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure you have enough to share?" Rose asked, eyes wide.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Of course my dear!" Worf said waving her over enthusiastically. "Though you're not formally dressed, the tea is open for everyone. Just be careful of Mr. Tri-Corder as he's been secretly drinking and his hands tend to wander."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"So I can pour tea on him if he tries to touch my as- I mean my limb?" Rose asked, taking a seat and trying so very hard not to laugh. "You look so very nice."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Either that or you may rip his arms out of his sockets," Worf replied cheerfully as he held up a teapot. "Tea?"
