Fourth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening, The Barry Gibb Talk Show

The fourth floor common room had been transformed. Do not ask how the best talk show hosts ever had found a disco ball to hang from the ceiling, one that showed off their matching white double-breasted pantsuits. They were here to sing about politics and chew bubble gum, and they were all out of gum.

There were chairs arranged in a semi-circle, for the important political guests, brothers Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb (also known as the surviving two thirds of the best effing band ever, the Bee Gees) faced away from the studio audience. As if on cue, Barry and Robin spun around, and began to sing.

"Here we are
In a room full of strangers
Discussing politics
And the issues of the day
Well, I want to talk to you
Though you may not want me to
I'm still gonna talk to you
I don't care what you say

Talkin' it up
On the Barry Gibb talk show
Talkin' bout issues
Talkin' bout real important issues
Talkin' it up
On the Barry Gibb talk show
Talkin' bout politics
In this crazy, crazy town
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah"


So maybe George and Squall had been gremlin-bit earlier this evening and thought they were washed-up disco superstars now hosting a belligerent talk show about politics. That might be cool, too.

(There will be OCD for this. OCD UP! Come be a guest on the show, or a member of the studio audience, or stand in the back with a camera! JOIN US.)

It had been a somewhat troubling day in class, which had led to Dorothy Gale forging out to find some sort of good company that evening. The poor girl had no idea what she was in for when she came into that common room some two floors above her own.

"Hello?" she said, trying to politely interrupt. She was hoping to make friends.

"La-dies and gent-le-men," Barry announced in a staccato voice that wasn't quite falsetto, wasn't quite singing, and wasn't anything at all like the real Barry Gibb's actual speaking voice. "Our first guest to-night -- tonight, oh, tonight -- is the governor of South Car-o-li-na -- LI-NA -- Nikki Haley."

Dorothy looked around, slightly confused. "My name is Dorothy," she said, completely uncertain as to what exactly was happening. "And I certainly am too young to be governor of any state, let alone one I've never been to."

Warren had been heading up to the roof so that he could get out and stretch his wings. After all, the last thing he really wanted after discussing his father was to be cooped up all night, January out there or not.

You better believe he was taking the detour when he heard the singing.

He had his phone out and recording even as he stepped through the door into the common room. So sue him.

"And here we have our next guest, for-mer Lieu-ten-nant Gov-er-nor of Cal-i-forn-ia, Cruz Bustamante!" He turned to his co-host. "Robin, shall we sing in Cruz Bust-a-man-te?"

Freddie was thanking his lucky stars that he had one of his cameras with him when he'd come into the common room.

He'd just be back there... filming. And laughing.

"Hey!" Barry shouted, standing up and pointing at Freddie. "HEY!!! What do you think you're doing back there!??!"

"Saving this for posterity?" Freddie said with a tentative grin.

"Did you get this, like, from the beginning?" Rinoa asked. "I have cash. I have lots of cash."

"I do, actually," Freddie said. "Including the part where they sorta tried to threaten me. I'm very diligent in my journalism."

He nodded sagely.

Seifer had made a snack run to T&C, which is why he hadn't been in his room when the biting happened.

And there were not enough words to explain how happy he was about that. Or coming back in time to hit the camera on his phone to get this all on camera. For his own amusement, of course.

And to send back to Garden because this was AWESOME.

Really. It was like, Christmas, his birthday, and every other holiday all rolled into one.

"Hey! No photography!! I'm handing out autographed effing 8x10 glossies after the show, but not to you!! Do you hear me? I will effing END YOU!"

This was now beyond awesome.

"It's not photography. It's a new hand camera the studio is trying out," Seifer told Squall Barry, trying not to laugh. "For the sneak and candid shots."

Rinoa had just popped her head into the common room out of curiosity, when she overheard singing. It was ... not really her usual type of music, but someone was putting on a show?

... No. No, someone was not putting on a show. Someone was ...

Sorry, Rinoa was going to be standing in the doorway falling over herself laughing.

"Are you laughing back there?!?! Are you laughing at BARRY EFFIN' GIBB?!?!?" Barry stood up and flailed a few karate chops in her general direction. "Don't you effin' laugh at me!!! I'm Barry Gibb!!! I grew up on the streets of Sydney! I'm the reason koalas are an endangered species!!! I will rip out your throat and make you eat it!!! I'm Barry effin' Gibb!!!"

If Rinoa laughed any harder, she was going to pass out. Her vision was already getting swimmy spots. This was a good time to lean against the doorway and try to think of very serious things so she could stop laughing. Her father. Adel. Something?

"I'm ... h-h-having hysterics," she tried. "It's ... all so overwhelming."

Seifer waved from where he was being a (very silent) camera man.

And making sure he had plenty to blackmail Squall with.

That part where 'Barry' said the jellyfish stung him and died was totally going to be Squall's new ringtone.

Rinoa slipped over to him, trying not to laugh hard enough that she'd mess up the audio.

"Do I want to know?"
