Art Club, Art Classroom, Monday, 4/6

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

So yesterday half the school was fighting zombies and a big chunk of the other half actually was zombies, and today things were back to normal.

Kind of normal. Sort of normal. Normal enough that Claire was in the art room after classes, dragging out crayons, construction paper, and pipe cleaners for the club meeting, when an especially small and timid gremlin who would never have bothered her at all if it wasn't for the treaty hopped out from behind the tempera paints and bit her wrist hard.

"Fucking OW," Claire said, and that was the last thing Claire would say as herself for quite a while. For the moment, she thought she was a three-year-old furry red monster.

"La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's world ...," he sang, repeating it as people assembled for the club. Elmo kept talking once everyone was there. He had so many friends, and they all looked so smart!

"Hi! Elmo's goldfish Dorothy was thinking about art." Dorothy was, in fact, a misshapen attempt at pottery left in the studio to dry, and thus had probably been thinking about no such thing. "Elmo has a question for you! How do you make art?"

He bounced. "And after you answer that, we'll sing the art song! 'Art art art, art art art, art art art art aaaaaaart'!"

Or boggle at the redhead who is very much not a three-year-old red monster, even if she thinks she is.

Katchoo was too tired and emotionally wiped to do anything but sit there and succumb to a fit of quiet hysterics, really. She'd just be over there in the corner snickering behind her hand.

A lot.

"Elmo," who would really hate herself a lot as soon as this wore off, bounded over to Katchoo.

"Elmo's friend Katchoo is happy! Katchoo, do pretty pictures make you happy?"

Yeah, considering how Cal had spent all morning (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/2076621.html) singing and dancing around the library about books, he had a pretty good idea what was going on with Claire there.

He was just going to groan a moment and bury his face in his hands. There was, of course, the natural embarrassment by proxy, but there was also the strong sense of self-preservation that made him reluctant to do or say anything in not wanting his girlfriend to hate both life and him once she started to feel better.

"Is Elmo's friend Cal sleepy?" Claire asked. Perkily.

She was going to want to kill herself.

"When Elmo is sleepy, Elmo gets his teddy and takes a nap!"

Peyton was still focused on her zombie drawings.

'Elmo' bounded over and watched Peyton draw for a moment. "Elmo's friend Peyton is drawing scary monsters!" he announced.

This should be weirder. As it was, he was mostly worried about why 'Claire' was do damn cheerful.

Re: Mingle + Make Art (4/6)

"Hi, Elmo's friend Liir!" 'Elmo' said happily. "Elmo's goldfish Dorothy wants to see a picture of a goldfish! Can you draw a goldfish?"

"Dorothy" was still just a pot, yup.

Claudia bit her lip to keep from giggling and hid her face behind her sketchbook. She'd been at Fandom long enough not to immediately launch into her "drugs are bad" speech.

Re: Mingle + Make Art (4/6)

"Elmo's friend Claudia is happy too!" 'Elmo' chirped. "Are you happy because of your pretty clothes?"

[*shamelessly mods that she's not just wearing a t-shirt and jeans for once*]

Alice was going to give Claire quite a confused glance. "Dare I ask why you're singing?"

She was quite fond of nonsense, but to be perfectly frank, Claire hadn't seemed the type.

Savannah was indeed boggling at Claire and incredibly confused.

However, the giggles that she was trying to bite back just wouldn't stay silent.

Harper was starting to wonder if insanity was contagious, because people were acting like crazy today.

Angela's art (http://pics.livejournal.com/flashesforinfo/pic/00002wf3/g1) today was less than cheerful, for once.

Inspiration from the weekend was apparently slipping in there. Nice.

Talk to Ms. Aldrin (4/6)

Once she tags in!

Lily was doing quite a bit of staring.

And wondering if maybe she could have Claire come in to her kindergarten class one day when she went back to it because that performance was awesome.

OOC (4/6)

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Someone had to claim the first gremlin bite -- I figured it might as well be me. Also, "Elmo's World" is my daughter's very first fandom so I watch it about 53 times a week.

I think she ships Dorothy/Mr. Noodle. (I tried to explain why the fish thing made that a little difficult, but she just rolled her eyes at me.)

MY BRAIN. OW MY BRAIN. *facepalms facepalms headdesk facepalm*

...oh dear god thank you that it's not a copper pot.

...that said, can't stop giggling.
