kappa kappa gremlin meeting | 1st floor rec room | after classes | friday | november 6

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

After a couple of off weeks due to trips and dances, the frat was back and meeting in a rec room. Hannibal was looking like the cat that got the canary. He probably should have mentioned his pick of things to do beforehand but what would be the fun in that?

"Welcome back, guys," Hannibal said, still grinning. "Hope your fall break and your Homecoming was a good one. We gave you a few weeks off and now we're back. Don't worry, we're going to ease back into it."

And, with that, he reached behind him and came back with a box that he was holding face down. No giving it away yet.

"Hannibal claims he has a sport fit for all of us," Arthur said, casting him a slightly suspicious look. "He's been looking shifty about it all afternoon."

Slight exaggeration, since he hadn't seen Hannibal all afternoon and they were technically still in the afternoon, but the point held.

"I do have a sport first for all of us," he said, smirking in Arthur's direction. "And we're all going to participate. It combines flexibility, strength, strategy and cunning. I know it's not one of those brute force contests like hockey that you love, Arthur, but doesn't sound so bad, does it?"

Maybe he could have Arthur admitting he didn't mind Twister without KNOWING Twister was coming.

Arthur failed to oblige. He was stubborn like that, even when he didn't realise he was being stubborn about anything. "Are we getting to the exercise at any point, Hannibal?" he inquired. "Because as much as I'd like to stand here and listen to you justify your choices all day..."

"We're getting to it right now," Hannibal said and finally revealed the game. "We're playing Twister. Yes, that's right. Take off your shoes, grab one of the game boxes and pair up or trio up or however. Play as dirty as you want without touching each other. There are instructions in the box but I'm sure a few of you know how to play this without reading them. Help each other out. Whoever wins gets bragging rights. Loser...loses."

With that, Hannibal started opening his own box and laying out the mat.

"Sweet mercy," Arthur muttered, facepalming hard, and rubbing the bridge of his nose for good measure. "What is it with you people and children's games?" ... Not that he knew Twister, but it was starting to be a theme.

"Give it a chance, Arthur," Hannibal grinned, still looking smug. "I know it'll be difficult but I'm sure you can do it."

And if he couldn't, it'd be fun to hold Arthur's lack of Twister technique over his head for all of eternity.

"Well, I didn't really want to ask after she nearly stripped down to show us at the club fair," Arthur retorted.

"She didn't," Mat said, laughing in a vaguely horrified way.

"Oh, we managed to stop her." Beat. "Eventually."

Arthur still had the mental scars.

"Is that how she ended up in here, then?" Mat asked, and he was going to cling to that "she" forever, thank you. "You just agreed to bloody anything to get her to stop?"

Not that Mat had done that with women in the past.

Many women in the past.

...shut up, okay?

Loath to admit weakness in any situation, Arthur said, "Well, she was technically not born a woman, so we figured she... qualified." That argument worked. Yes.

"...and I kissed her. Burn me," Mat said, hiding his face in his hands.

Arthur wasn't going to say anything

He was just... going to badly repress a snicker.

"Shut up," Mat wailed demanded.

That just got him a few more half-aborted snickers. "Don't worry," Arthur said, eventually, "I'm sure it washes off."

"I'll have the bloody longest bath of my life tonight, then," Mat declared. "And then drink until I can't stand."

It was good to have a plan.

Arthur contemplated that one, shot Mat a wry look, and said, "Cheers to that."

"Care to join in?" Mat asked. "On the drinking. Not the bath."

"Not in the quantities needed to erase that kind of thing," he said, wryly, "But I suppose I can have a single pint one of these days. The liquor here is a bit strong."

"That's what makes it good liquor," Mat assured him with a cheeky smile. "I promise that I will not allow you to dance on tables or remove any clothing."

Arthur rolled his eyes lightly, then reached over to give him a manly shoulder-pat. Shove. Thing. "Have fun, Mat. Save me a pint of ale one of these days."
