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.

If you want to stand near the door with a camcorder and/or point and giggle or anything else that goes in the general spectator idea that doesn't fit above, do it here. This thread may escape the wrath of Barry Effin Gibb. May.

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.

"It's already being SAVED for prosperity; it's an effin' TALK SHOW! Are you bootlegging the show?" He turned to Robin. "He's bootlegging my show!!!"

"He's a fan," Robin suggested with an apathetic shrug.

Apparently George and Robin did have something in common.

Freddie was suddenly wishing he had Sam around as protection.

He was not, however, going to give up yet.

"Big fan," he said with a nod and a slightly smug smile on his face.

"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.

"Okay," Rinoa said. "I need at least two ... no, three. I need at least three good quality, if not high-definition, copies. Name your price."

She had a purse. She was opening her purse and pulling out money. Look, Freddie! Money!

... she was a princess. Daddy's money fixed everything, right?

Freddie's jaw dropped open at the sight. "Well, do you want full DVD menus? I could probably do that, if you want. Clear up the audio, maybe do some color balance?"

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."

For this, Robin felt compelled to actually contribute. Someone should mark it on a calendar.

"Are you getting my good side?"

Really, Seifer would have declared that he deserved a medal for not laughing, but he was having fun at the misfortune of others.

"You have a bad side?"

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."

"WHAT IS SO EFFING FUNNY!?!?" Barry demanded. He flailed a few more karate chops and some roundhouse kicks, pirouetted a few times, and then moonwalked and grabbed his crotch. "AHHHHH!" he sang triumphantly.

"I'm Barry effin' Gibb, and you DO NOT LAUGH AT ME!!! I'm the world's only known were-kangaroo!!! I once bit the head off a hammerhead shark!!! I'm BARRY EFFING GIBB!!!"

Okay, that wasn't helping. Especially not as she snorted and sort of crumpled over again and had to try to wheeze in order to breathe again.

Okay. She might have herself under control now. She tried straightening up and decidedly not looking at him.

"I'm just giddy from the nearness of you!" she announced. "Don't women do this all the time?"

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?"

"Gremlin," Seifer whispered, trying not to look like he was talking.

Rinoa was nodding, even though she was hovering slightly behind him, which meant he probably couldn't see it. Oops.

"Okay, that explains some of it," she said. "The singing and the, um, the complete ... insanity is kind of ..."

Gremlin bites were always weird. Maybe it seemed weirder to her because Squall was never, ever silly.

"Oh my gosh, did he glue a rug to his chest?" she asked, staring (and giggling, yet again) at the fur thicket popping out from the suit. "That's not his chest hair."

Which Seifer probably knew already. SeeDs showered together and all that, and if Squall were part woolly mammoth, he might have noticed.
