Second Floor Common Room/Blanket Fort - Sunday Night

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

The Second Floor Common Room was no more. The entire area was now a mish-mash of pillows, chairs, blankets and couches. King Edmund had a cardboard crown on his head. He surveyed his creation and nodded in satisfaction.

Now he just needed some subjects to rule! Or, more likely, someone to tell him where to shove his kingliness.

After Worf was... no longer rendered immobile by a tree, he had returned to the dorm to do careful patrols throughout the dorm and make sure that all was right.

When he saw the state of the common room he gave a might huff of attitude.

"This room is in a disarray," he declared. "I suggest you clean up now before I inform a parental figure."

"It is not," Edmund protested. "It's a castle. My castle. And I don't know if you noticed but there aren't any grown ups in here!"

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"It is not a castle," Worf growled as he crossed his arms. "It's a bunch of pillows."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"It's a pillow and blanket castle," Edmund explained. "Look. There's the entrance and there's the galley," there were snacks in there, "and there's the lookout tower. You have to use your imagination!"

"No! What I see is a mess!" Worf said stamping his soof.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Well it's my mess." Castle! "And it's not hurting anybody, so what do you care? Don't you know how to play pretend?"

Rose was still mad at Alex totally betraying her earlier, but she was way more bored and totally awake. Weetiny children who usually stay up all night didn't tend to go to bed at a reasonable time.

"You made a fort!" Yes, stating the obvious.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"It's a castle, technically," Edmund replied, looking very proud of himself. "I'm the king!"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She looked skeptical. "You're too little to be the king," she said. "And a fort's way cooler."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"It's mine and I have a crown to prove it! I'm the king and if you're good, I might let you come in."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"I'm never good!" Rose declared, sounding more than a little proud of that. "Guess you better deal with that." She considered him though. "If you show me the crown, maybe I'll be your guardian."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

He adjusted the crown on his head and stood his ground stubbornly. "I'm not taking it off so you'll have to look from there. And what would a girl know about guarding anything?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"If you were a real king, it wouldn't matter if you were wearing the crown or not," she said triumphantly. "And I know lots and lots. Nuah."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Edmund scowled and threw his hands into the air. "But how would anyone know I was a king? And no you don't! You're a girl!"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"I got a stake!" Rose protested, whipping it (the practice stake) out. "Bet you don't have anything like that!"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"That's not a steak. It's a piece of metal!"

A tiny, hyperactive blonde ran into the room. "HI! HI! HI!"

Jo still hadn't mastered use of the indoor voice.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Edmund replied, a touch overwhelmed by the very loud voice. "Do you like my castle?"

[wannabehunter]

"It's awesome!"

Jo was loud, but also easily impressed.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

He looked very proud of himself. "Yes, it is. I built it all on my own. Do you want to have a look?"

[wannabehunter]

Jo nodded furiously, clambering up on the nearest section of the fort. "Uh huh."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"But don't break anything!" he protested. "If you break it, you have to fix it."

[wannabehunter]

"I don't break stuff," Jo called out. "I'm careful."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"But you're a girl. Girls are always breaking things. My sisters are girls and they always break my things." No they didn't.

[wannabehunter]

"Nuh uh, boys break things, they're clumsy and smelly."
