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.)

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Guests
This means that Barry will ask you relevant political questions of the day and threaten you with bodily harm for your answers. Not because they are wrong, but because he is Barry Effin Gibb.
Also, he'll assume that you're some political figure or pundit that Squall-mun and I pick entirely at random, unless you have a preference, in which case mention it OOC and we'll roll with it, zomg.
Also, Robin and Barry will sing the person's name as an intro. Which is why one of you is going to be Cruz Bustamante.

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

Okay, Robin was a little flat. They should have rehearsed the name intros.

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.

Re: Barry Gibb Talk Show: Guests
"Cruuuuuuuuz Bus-ta-man-te. Talkin' bout Cru-huu-huuuuuuz Bus-ta-man-te. Yeah! (Yeah!)"
When the song was finished, he slumped back in his seat again.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Audience
Ping into this thread if you would like to ask questions of Barry Effin Gibb or Robin or any of the guests. Please note that this also means Barry will threaten you with bodily harm. It is just how he rolls.

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

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.

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.
