Lawn of the Dorms | Late Late Late Sunday Night | April 18

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

After last weekend, the students of Fandom were probably hoping for a nice, lazy weekend before their week filled with finals. Unfortunately, it could never be easy for people who lived on the island. Where there was once still and quiet, there was now a shrill fire alarm going off, blaring loud enough to even be heard by the deepest of sleeper.

Time to evacuate the dorms, students! And, once everyone started spilling out onto the lawn, they'd find that Fandom had another treat for them. It was warm, that was good, but at some point that night it'd started raining. And it wasn't just ordinary rain. It was raining chocolate syrup and occasionally hailing down marshmallows.

Just another typical late night out on the lawn of the dorms for a fire drill! Hope you brought your umbrella!

[open fire drill! after radio so NFB!]

Which would be why Jean shrieked as soon as she exited the building. "My hair!"

Not to mention her pajamas were now ruined.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce found his way over to Jean and grumped out a snarky, "Nice weather for this time of night. How are you?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Now, normally Merlin liked chocolate. And marshmallows.

Jut not, you know, hurtling down from the sky at him. So, this made for the lest impressive show of Fandom's hatred of all it's inhabitants.

Could have at least given a bit of warning so people could get a bucket out. If they were so inclined.

So, he stood off to the side, arms bundled up against his chest, cursing the island for all he was worth.

[bitchprince]

"I swear this happens solely so they can torment us," Arthur groused, petulantly.

[redandblueblur.livejournal.com]

Chocolate falling from the sky?

Now this was new for Clark.

"Anybody got some graham crackers?" Clark couldn't help but wonder, catching a marshmallow in his hand and letting the chocolate rain coat it before he stuck the combination in his mouth.

There were worse ways to spend a fire drill.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"See, why didn't I think of that?" Dinah said aloud, looking around for Karla, who could maybe get some for them, then grinning up at Clark.

[therewaslife]

Bod hadn't ever experienced a fire drill let alone a fire drill complete with sweet things raining down from the sky.

Thus, he was out there in an old, loose pair of pants (he'd missed the shirt on the way out) and trying to take cover under a small tree. It wasn't really working and he saw a long shower in his future.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck? Was not very happy. Rain was one thing, but syrup was another. Luckily he had been in Fandom long enough to know there was always time to grab an umbrella, so he wasn't completely covered in chocolate. These pajama pants were going to have to be thrown away though.

He hated this town sometimes.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Aww, Chuck, not having a good time?" Hannibal asked, wiping some of the chocolate rain off his face as he wandered over.

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

Dan did not have the foresight to grab an umbrella or a shirt when he left the dorms, unfortunately. He was thankful it wasn't cold but he was definitely going to need a shower when he got back in.

He held his hands out to grab some marshmallows, figuring he might as well make the best out of a bad situation.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

When the fire alarm started going off, Alex almost wasn't surprised. Seemed his luck would go from bad to shit in the span of a few days if it could. This time, he grabbed both a hoodie and an umbrella.

He might have looked silly, standing out there in boxers and a hoodie while holding an umbrella but he didn't care. This way meant he could smoke and avoid getting rained on by freaking chocolate and marshmallows.

This fucking island, man. Such a bitch.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah, he did have a lighter! Dinah grinned at him as she bopped over. "Aaaaalex. Can I borrow your lighter to melt marshmallows?"

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia was unfortunately wearing white, as she did. White which was now ruined due to chocolate stains, which made for a very cranky princess.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"You look about as thrilled as I do," Alex said but he was doing a little better in the staying chocolate free realm of things. "That's gonna be a bitch to get clean."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal could sleep through most anything but the fire alarm was enough to wake him up. So, he'd stumbled out in his boxers, barely paid the chocolate rain any attention before finding a tree to sit against and trying to sleep a little more.

It wasn't really working considering it was raining chocolate and marshmallows kept hitting him in the face but he tried.

[trigons_child]

Raven, on the other hand, was in black (as she did), so the chocolate wasn't as noticeable. But she had been through enough of these that she had brought a (black) umbrella with her. There was likely room for more beneath it.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

See, this? This kind of stuff? Is what Lois was going to miss after graduation. She didn't care about the ruined pj's or the fact that her hair was going to be a bitch to wash later. It was raining chocolate! This was awesome!

[icecoldfrost]

Emma hadn't gone outside immediately, since she'd needed to find (and try to catch!) Beka, and had happened to glance out the window.

And since the dorm didn't seem to be in imminent danger of burning down, she'd taken the time to pull on rain galoshes and pick up an umbrella. And grab her cigarettes. She didn't care how ridiculous she looked, she was not getting chocolate in her hair.

[I flee for work, back around dinner!]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Darling, you're looking rather silly," Alex said by way of greeting. "Smashing galoshes."

Sarcastic greeting but a greeting.

[longislandiceme]

Okay, so Bobby could have just iced up and thus avoided the whole sticky situation, but by the time he made it outside there were too many people around who might see him.

He did, however, freeze his hair since that wasn't really noticeable, except for the light coating of frost that was soon covered by (somewhat solidified) chocolate syrup anyway.

Sure, his clothes were all sticky, but at the moment, Bobby was far more concerned with holding up marshmallows until they got covered in chocolate syrup.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"This isn't some elaborate plan for having a party, is it?" Bruce asked Bobby. "Because I wouldn't put it past you."

[bitchprince]

Arthur was not best pleased, having been forced out of a fairly comfortable position in order to come down here.

He could cope fairly well with being out in his boxers, but that wasn't doing his mood any favours.

[thatsamilkshake]

The umbrella Francine had grabbed wasn't doing her any good, since she'd realized after 20 seconds outside that she could hold that or her robe closed, but not both, so it was now collapsed and tucked under her elbow. "Umbrella?" she offered awkwardly. "You look like you need it more than me."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

For the most part, Jonas didn't mind fire drills. He knew they were necessary to prepare for potentially dangerous situations but even he had to be a little grumpy about stepping out into a mess of chocolate and marshmallows.

He hadn't picked up his umbrella so his pants and shirt were getting good and soaked and he was not pleased.

[wwiii]

Warren was outside, clad in... pants. A nighttime wardrobe choice that he was seriously regretting, all things considered.

"I'm going to be washing chocolate out for the rest of my life," he grumbled, lifting one wing upward to at least shield his head from the worst of the chocolate.

[longislandiceme]

"Welcome to Bobbyland!" Bobby chirped as he wandered by, popping a marshmallow in his mouth.

[unborn-renegade.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah.

This was great.

Jak hadn't even bothered to leave his room at first, but the noise just kept up, so he'd yanked on a simple tunic and stomped outside. He was going to break something.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Marshmallow?" Dinah offered Jak. Thundercloud face, capable of scorching marshmallows... well, actually, that was literally true, wasn't it? "We'll be back inside in a minute."

[endsthegame]

Ender'd invested in an umbrella since the first time, so he was safely protected from the weather. He stood outside in his underwear, slightly annoyed, but otherwise peaceful.

When a marshmallow bounced off his palm, he just sighed, and said, "Figures."

[momslilassassin]

More marshmallows bounced toward him.

Beware the Force-gifted roommate with too much time on his hands.

[furnaceface]

//Bloody naffin' hell!//

Yep. Jono realized a moment too late that he was stepping outside into chocolate. Sticky, falling chocolate. Which he might not have minded so much, except for the simple fact that he couldn't even appreciate the chocolate the way that chocolate was intended to be appreciated.

[living_endless]

"What's wrong?" Didi asked as she ambled over.

As if the answer wasn't obvious. On the up side, there was a girlfriend in cute pajamas at his disposal?

[solo_sword]

As far as Jaina knew, the dorms had never been in any real danger of burning down any time that one of these things happened. So she was grumbling from the start, figuring she could handle cold or rain... Chocolate was new.

Add to her getting pelted with a marshmallow shortly after walking outside, and she hated this town just a little more. Again.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Aren't you fucking thrilled you're back now?" Rose asked, growly over the freaking chocolate raining down on her.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen was not enjoying this. Not at all.

And little Kianah was staying safely tucked away in Helen's nightshirt and only occasionally daring a peek out.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Unlike Yei, who was quite happily staring at everything from the safety of Hinata's raincoat. The fact that Hinata had an umbrella only added to Yei's general enjoyment of the situation.

Well, that and the fact that Hinata wasn't really minding either.

"I would say good morning," she said lightly, holding the umbrella so that it covered Helen as well. "But you do not look happy."

Way to state the obvious, Hinata.

[she-sheds.livejournal.com]

Joolushko had screeched loud enough to possibly damage the eardrums (or any soft metals) of anyone around her when the alarm went off and she was roused out of a sound sleep.

Then she'd made her way outside only to scream again at the chocolate rain that was now coating her hair. "This is going to take ages to wash out," she whined, holding a lock of chocolatey and quite bright red hair in front of her face.

Normally, Joolushko loved chocolate as much as the next alien from a world without it. However, she loved it less right now than ever before. And the marshmallows were not helping to improve her mood.

[puppy_fair]

Considering Zack had been kind of living outside lately, it wasn't the alarm that woke him up, tonight.

It was the fact that he'd been dreaming about eating marshmallows, and when he woke up... There actually was a marshmallow in his mouth. And another one, bouncing off his forehead. And a good deal of syrup.

A quick glance to the side assured him that his sword was okay, at least. But it was probably time to pull himself out of the makeshift bed-thing that he and Ino had set up in the garden, to make certain that their stuff wouldn't get all covered in goop.

[intraspective]

Ino blinked, coming awake as he moved and a marshmallow got her, and peered up at the sky.

"... Seriously??" That was more of a sleepy complaint than anything else.

Give her a second, geez.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah had staggered downstairs with her robe on at least, and a pillow for holding over her head-- last time it rained-- but now she was quietly snickering and licking off her fingers.

[bitten_notshy]

"Enjoying the weather?" Jack asked, with a friendly wave. he was annoyed by the fire drill, himself, but it had been a while since he said hello to Dinah -- and he had to talk to someone before he went mad from boredom.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Unlike her roommate, Hinata had taken the time to pull out her raincoat and boots and had the hood drawn up. The umbrella she had was more for Yei's sake as while she had her kitten tucked into the coat, Yei wanted to look around.

It was exciting! It was an adventure!

Hinata just... sighed. And petted the kitten who was far more excited about this than she was.

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"I don't know whether the apparent chocolate sticking to me or the marshmallows hitting me is the more uncomfortable aspect of this drill," Jonas said, wincing as he came upon Hinata.
