Lawn of the Dorms | Late, Late, Late Night (2am EST)

[death_and_pies]

It was a quiet night. Just after midnight, a steady rain had started falling, drenching the island quickly and showing no sign of slowing. A few hours later, at 2am, the peace of the night was broken when the fire alarm started blaring. It would shrilly blare, stop and then repeat the same shrill blare two seconds later. And it was not going to

As soon as Turtle stepped outside and realized that it was raining during the fire drill, she slipped off a bit to head over to the store.

And came back shortly with a cart full of umbrellas.

"Five bucks! Limited time offer! Don't be stuck out here getting soaked to the bone, grab one of these babies for just five bucks, fire drill special!"

She, herself, had made sure to grab a hat.

"I'll have an umbrella," Arthur said, once he'd both heard her voice (which was more than familiar to him; more so, in fact, than the ordinary stores around here) and spotted her.

Just give him a minute as he sorted five dollar bills from hundred dollar bills.

Turtle could be patient. The longer he took, the more time Turtle could ruminate on future ways of maybe inspiring Arthur to part with all that money.

"Sure thing, Arthur," she said. "Have a preference? I've got a red and gold one here. You seem like a red and gold kind of guy."

[bitch_prince]

Arthur did have a lot of money, mostly courtesy of many a tournament done well.

"Red and gold will be fine," he said, because he really was a red and gold kind of guy. "Five dollars, you said?"

Riggins was standing out in his boxers looking like the rain wasn't bothering him all that much. He was actually trying not to fall asleep standing up.

After successfully scoring an umbrella from Turtle, Joan wandered the lawn and noticed a nearly naked Riggins. Apparently there were upsides to middle of the night fire drills in the rain.

She walked over. "Want to share?" she asked, holding her umbrella out.

[badassfullback]

Riggins chuckled and pulled some of his hair out of his face. "I don't know. I don't think I can get much wetter than I already am."

[joan_notjane]

True. Because he was very, very wet. Joan was keeping her eyes above waist level, just in case his boxers had become see-thru.

"Yeah, but at least you wouldn't have the rain beating down on your head," she said.

Tony was out there in just his Space Battles boxer shorts. (Shut up.) He was only half-awake, though, so it didn't bother him just yet.

[blondecanary]

"Nice shorts." Dinah yawned at him, then giggled. "Very stylish."

[wantstodirect]

Tony had to look down before he remembered what he was wearing. "Oh, crap," he sighed. "I'd've worn something better if I'd known there'd be a floor show."

[blondecanary]

Dinah nodded knowingly. "Harder to impress people when your secret underwear dorkitude is exposed, I know." From sad experience. "But at least you didn't have to get dressed?" she said, mischievous.

Oh, Tahiri was Not Happy. It wasn't that she'd had the worst day although she'd certainly had better, but she'd only managed to get to sleep minutes before the alarm went off and wow, was she ever swearing up a streak in Yuuzhan Vong right now.

[sorella_vecchia]

"You okay?" Triela asked, a note of genuine concern making it into her tone.

[weetuskenraider]

"Annoyed," Tahiri bit out. "It's usually me with the bad timing, not the other way around."

[sorella_vecchia]

"You want my coat?" Triela offered. Even though it was already soaked through it might help. Maybe.

Lois was not pleased. Not pleased at all. She had been rudely awakened and now her pj's were getting wet. Great.
