Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday evening

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

When Jessica walked into the common room and took a seat on the couch, she fully expected to turn the TV on and relax for one of the last weeknights before classes stated again. What she didn't expect was for a gremlin to burst into the room, doing something that could almost be called 'singing.' By the time Jessica deciphered the song as 'Pour Some Sugar on Me,' a second gremlin came into the room wearing what seemed to be a tiny slutty sailor costume. Then the costume started coming off piece by piece, in rhythm with the music.

"Ohmygodgremlinstripperno," Jessica said, diving over the couch and running to the kitchen to see if she could find anything to blind herself with before the gremlin got to its pants. Unable to find any dangerous chemicals or spoons quickly, she decided to go about this a different way. She found some paper plates and started hurling them like frisbees at the gremlins, hoping to scare them off or distract them from the exotic dancing. She was fine with either one.

"...what the hell is that?" WHAT IS IT? OH GOD.

"Gremlin stripper, DON'T LOOK AT IT, TONY!" Jessica said while throwing another plate while trying to look as little as possible.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I can't look away!" IT WAS SO HORRIBLE. JESSICA, WHY?

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Use that to your advantage! If you're going to look, at least throw something to scare it away!" Jessica said, flinging a plate at least a foot above the gremlin and its pelvic thrusts.

Tony responded by throwing a remote at it. Because it was the closest thing that he could find. God help him. "What did you do to it?!"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Why are you blaming me? I didn't cause this!" Jessica yelled.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Then who did?" Tony snapped, getting up onto a chair in case it tried to come near him.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I don't know! The one just came in and started singing and then the other one just started dancing and I don't know why!" Jessica complained. Or explained. Both.

Complainexplained. IT WAS A WORD NOW.

"Did the island do something wrong?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Clearly it did," Jessica said, pointing at the proof. "Absolutely. That is not supposed to happen in nature."

Tony nodded slowly, staring at it.

"...think we should put it on YouTube?"

NO, TONY. TONY, NO. NO.

It was no surprise to see Sia come up to the fifth floor waitwhatthehellwasthat.

"...I'll come back another time," she decided quickly.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"You can leave now, but the memory will always haunt you!" Jessica said, nearly hysterical. HOW LONG HAD THIS BEEN GOING ON?

[notconflicted]

"You can leave with me," Sia offered, averting her eyes from anything that would further traumatize her. "Why have you not left?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I can't get to the door without seeing it!" Jessica explained.

[notconflicted]

"You could close your eyes. You'd trip and fall, but the point is to get through it," she said, totally seriously, because really Jessica.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"If I trip and fall, that thing might grind up on me," Jessica pointed out. "I can't risk it. Not while I can throw things."

[notconflicted]

CONGRATULATIONS, JESSICA. YOU JUST BROKE SIA.

Well, as much as Sia could be broken, which meant she was at least speechless while she tried to banish the thought of a gremlin grinding on anything to the furthest depths of her brain. She was a Solo, she could repress like a champ.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"See? See! It's not so easy now, is it?" Jessica asked.

[notconflicted]

"I'm ignoring that you said that and that any of this is happening," Sia decided.

See, good at repressing.

"No. No way. If I'm going to have nightmares every night until the slow solar death of the universe, so are you," Jessica said. "You don't get to forget it."

"Ahhhhh what is that?!"

Alex didn't really get scared of things, but grossed out? That was another story.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"It's a gremlin stripper!" Jessica shouted. "I don't know why!"

[godofxbox]

"Make it stop!" Alex yelped, hiding behind his hands.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"If I could, I would!" Jessica said. "Thrown objects haven't worked yet!"
