Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday evening

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

When Bruce came out into the common room to do some reading on seventeenth century agrarian societies, he wasn't expecting to find a carton of eggnog next to a snoring gremlin. A quick sniff suggested that whatever the gremlin spiked his nog with, it was very strong.

Bruce could have disposed of the gremlin somehow, but with it right there, he couldn't help but watch it, from a safe distance, of course. He was really curious how a drunken - or by the time it woke up, hungover - gremlin might act. Sue him.

[OOC: I'm bored. Come watch the gremlin! Get bit if you want! I'm not going to stop you from doing that if it's what you want!]

Maladicta thought about that for a moment. "It would probably end in some sort of hilarious hijinks."

"Don't do anything until I get a video camera," Bruce said.

No, he wasn't going to go get one.

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Liar. He so had one on him.

"I'll try to restrain myself."

It was a digital camera with video capabilities. There was a difference.

"I appreciate it," Bruce said. "But if it starts to move before I can get one, feel free to move in on it."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"And protect you?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"That's not necessary. I'm far enough away from it to get ready if it moves," Bruce said.

"Even if they're fast?" Now you're just asking for it, Bruce.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Although I don't expect it to be that fast considering how groggy it'll likely be," Bruce said.

Maladicta poked at it with her foot. "How long are you planning to watch it?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Either until it wakes up or everyone else in the room leaves so I don't have to feel bad if it does attack any of them," Bruce said.

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Cupboard."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You're really big on the cupboard plan," Bruce noted.

He was considering it.

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"It's the best plan there is for the situation."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Fine," Bruce said, grabbing a notepad and pen from his pocket to write the note. "Just let me write the warning we talked about."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Always so thoughtful," Maladicta replied dryly.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I try," Bruce said, ripping the sheet out of his notepad. "You're so enthusiastic about it, go ahead and grab the gremlin. I'll get the cupboard door."

Maladicta eyed the gremlin for a moment before... "Do we have any tongs?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Bruce said. "Check in a cupboard."
