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

[onapalebicycle.livejournal.com]

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.)

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?"

Oh, Barry softened right up when he heard that. He danced his way closer to her and gave her a leer. "Oh, yeah, you're swoonin' for Barry!" he sung. "Swooni -- aaaah! -- swooni -- aaaaah! -- swoonin' for Barray-yay-yay-yeah!"

Okay, Rinoa might be about to have some kind of seizure. Or rupture something. She was definitely having a spasm. And laughing again. Good thing she had convinced him they were, like, giggles of insane attractional ... something? Because holy shit.

It was really, really really hard to try to ( a ) breathe and ( b ) respond to that in a way that implied that she was just dying to drag him off somewhere and ravish him and ( c ) okay let's be honest she was still back on breathing.

She wasn't entirely sure he wasn't having a seizure.

"It's ... the ... manliness," she managed. "All the ... m-m-m-men around here are b-b-b-b-boys. Not ... men."

"Lemme show you what a man can do," Barry sung to her in a high falsetto. "I'm man-ly, man-ly, yeaaaah! Ahhh! Aaah!" He ran his fingers sensuously along his lapels and thrust his chest out at her. "It's time you went from boys to men!" he sang. "Boys to men! Boys to men! But not Boyz II Men! Boys to men, not Boyz II Men-yeah-yeah-yeah!"
