Third Floor Common Room, Sunday evening: DAVE'S COFFEE RAVE

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Dave Nelson was a coffee junkie. But he was a nice junkie. (...Who just happened to cut himself a deal with Anakin Skywalker himself with the condition that he share some of the coffee so he could get others hooked. He still thought he was being nice and spreading joy, even though he was keeping a sizable amount of the stuff for his private stash.)

So now that he had enough coffee to pass around, he set up a little brew house in a supply closet on the third floor. And while he was in there anyway, he just happened to find an old stereo and strobe light in the closet. So it wasn't long before Dave had set up a rave in the common room.

Techno beats were thumping, the lights were flashing, and once you dropped the $2 cover in the jar, you could get all the coffee you could drink. Although supplies were limited.

Show up in your club and/or coffee house best.

Annie had come back from a long shift at the clinic with a very heavy backpack (and two reusable cloth grocery bags) full of alcohol bottles. And she figured, maybe she could get some extra business done here.

Oh, what did her life and poverty drive her to!

After deciding that she could spend the $2 (in change), she found a good place to sit in order to maybe deal in booze. With a lone tear running down her cheek.

"Hey Annie!" a coffee-fueled Dave said. "You look sad!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sad," Annie said quickly. "Why would I be sad?"

Rilla came into the room dressed to kill in a dress she'd kill herself for owning tomorrow that barely covered her rear or her front, tiara from the kingdom of Canada resting on her perfectly arranged curls and eyes darting around anxiously. "Do I smell...coffee?" she hissed.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Dave said. He kind of couldn't help but gawk.

...Because it was a very nice tiara. Yes, that was it. Dave barely noticed the dress. Oh, Canada.

"My father gave it to me," Rilla said.

It was the answer to both the tiara and the impressive rack.

"Rilla!" Annie called. "Rilla! You'vegottotrythiscoffeeit'sthebest!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"Annie!" Rilla squealed, bouncing up and down and sorely testing the costume department's double taping skills.

Percy had hidden Luke's body in his room and now he was down the hall, ready to enjoy some kind of party. Part of him felt sad for having to kill Luke but he couldn't let him get away again! Not again!

So, he coughed up a few bucks and went to find something good and celebratory to drink. It needed to be sweet and strong just like Luke had been before Percy had killed him.

"Welcome to the party! Grab a cup and celebrate!" Dave encouraged.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he said gruffly, giving Dave a look. "What're you in here celebrating anyway? Make a big score?"

Poor, poor Annie. She really shouldn't have come here tonight and gotten hooked.

"Areyouhereforthecoffee? I'vetriedit. It'sreallygreatcoffee," she greeted him.

After the wedding, Katenka had not been able to find the mystery man who promised her an escape. The crowds and the murder, and she'd lost track of him. Somewhere between the park and the common room she'd wrangled a hasty costume change and touched up her make-up, of course.

Now, all she could do was drown her sorrows... in coffee.

"Hi there! Have some coffee! It's great!" Dave encouraged.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"Hiyoulooksad. Trysomecoffeeandyouwon'tbesadanymore!" Annie greeted her.

Raver Hank arrived decked out in all kinds of glow-in-the-dark stuff from Hot Topic. "PAR-TAY!!!"

"You're not still a prostitute, are you?" Dave asked. "Or... just kind of slutty?"

"Wowallthatstufflooksreallyneat," Annie greeted him, bounding over from whoever she'd just been talking to.

Coffee Table

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

What everyone should really be coming for. Plenty for everyone! And it's all free, provided you paid the cover or sneaked in.

Re: Coffee Table

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

After Annie had tried her first extremely strong cup of coffee must have been WorkJuice and talked to every single person who might come to the rave, she just had to have more. She had to have all the coffee! All of it!!

But when she went to get some more, she realized her heart was pounding. Fast. Really fast. It felt like her heart might even explode.

Oh, god, was her heart exploding?

Clutching at her chest, she gasped and fell to the floor in a position that would look beautifully arranged on camera, dead from trying coffee just this once.

Re: Coffee Table

Dave noticed this and thanks to the wonderful coffee, he was prepared to THINK and ACT QUICKLY.

He ran over and started dragging Annie's body over to the supply closet. THE RAVE NEEDED TO GO ON. COFFEE NEEDED TO GO ON.

He probably should have tried CPR first, but come on. He was a junkie.

DANCE!

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

The strobe is flashing, the coffee fumes are all over, and people have way too much energy for the first time in days.

It's time to dance.

After Dave's suggestion (http://fandomhighdorms.livejournal.com/2127246.html?thread=181516174#t181516174), Annie realized she really did have way too much energy to burn off, and hit the dance floor.

It was at least very stylized, well-lit, choreographed-for-a-daytime-audience booty dancing.
