Alpha Beta Gremlin meeting; Wednesday [ 09/09 ].

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

It was an unholy union, this team of Elle Woods and Turtle Wexler, and no one seemed to be as aware of this fact as Turtle Wexler herself. Thanks to everything else going on today, Turtle had to turn the reins over to Elle to prepare for ABG's first meeting this semester and, while it was great because everything was coming from Turtle & Canary, it was coming at Elle's discretion.

Which meant that the classroom was decked out in a lot of pink and glitter. A lot. Who knew there were even other shades of pink than hot and pepto bismol? Apparent, Elle knew, and the whole rainbow of pink was splattered over desks in the form of cloths, chairs in the form of ribbons, and the handles of baskets containing all sorts of delicious and thankfully not-so-pink baked goods (the muffins, for instance, were not pink, although there were iced cupcakes that fit the theme). It was actually making Turtle feel a little nauseous, although that might just be that she was stuffing her face with some cookies after probably way too much sugar already today.

Either way, they made their introductions, Elle in her bubbly Elle way, and Turtle, while bouncy, seemed even more straight-laced and professional by comparison. "We're very excited," she said, "to get Alpha Beta Gremlin started up again, and it's really excited to see such a great turn-out, too! Now, basically, a sorority like this is not just padding for your transcripts. A sorority like this is also a chance to bond with your other female Fandom Highers, and a chance to improve the community. I'm talking sleep overs, bake sales, community clean up projects, all made more fun because of the bond between ABG'ers."

"To welcome you all to the sisterhood, Elle and I have put together little bags for everyone, and they've got your name on it and are filled with fun little things, as well as your ABG badge to display proudly to the world." The bags, pink, of course, were filled with fun confetti, tubes of glitter, fun size candies, little bottles of nail polish and tiny tubes of glittery lip gloss, some hair accessories, some cool glittery pens, highlighters, the ABG pins, and a five dollar gift card for Turtle & Canary -- guess who contributed what.

"What we're going to do today," Turtle continued, "is just sort of chill out and mingle and get to know each other a little better, although some of us probably know each other pretty well. In that case, what we'd like is for you to branch out and if there's a sister here that you don't know very well, go and talk to that person and get that changed! If you do feel you know everyone here really well, good for you! Have some more cookies."

"I'd also like everyone to take a moment to fill out a little card and put it into this bag,"--pink, of course--"for ideas on what you'd like ABG to accomplish this year. And then next meeting, we'll go through some of the suggestion cards and think more seriously on how to get them done. Today, however, we'll just tighten our bonds of sistership and enjoy all this really good stuff Elle's baked for us."

"Also, Miss Upland will be our adviser for the semester, so make sure to thank her. I'm sure she's got plenty of good ideas, herself." And lots and lots of more pink and glitter, so help them all.

Find your gift bag and either looooo~ove the contents or gawk over the sheer girliness of them. Enjoy the delicious baked goods, and then go find someone to get to know better!

Angela had very little problem with pink and glittery and girly, and the idea of spreading the goody bag gifts all over her room for Hannibal to find and probably pull faces at was pretty tempting.

For now, though, she was just nibbling at a muffin contemplating that, and looking out for people to catch up with.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

She wasn't really certain what this club was about only that it promised interaction with future leaders. And since she was all about alliances it was hard to resist.

She didn't expect the club to be so overwhelmed with pink.

"It's like Ty Lee appeared and decided to decorate the whole place," Azula grumbled.

Wow, Joan had no idea that this much pink existed in the world. But she poked through her gift bag and was pleased by the contents.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

Between the room and the gift bag Ino wasn't sure whether laughing or cringing was the best response.

So much pink! But the lip gloss was fun.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

So very, very pink. If it was possible to go blind from that much pink cheer, Emma would have been afraid for her life.

So she focused instead on the baked good wonderfulness. Tasty tasty muffins.

Hayley was already of the opinion this club was the best thing ever.

Short of Bianca coming back to life, of course.

PINK! GLITTER! LIPGLOSS!

Um. Francine was pleased with the contents of the bag, yes.

Katchoo might not be, after finding their room liberally dusted with glitter and confetti.

She also admired her shiny new badge, while admitting to herself that this was probably the closest she'd ever come to being the sorority chick type, and frankly, she was okay with that.

Maron was totally inspecting her gift bag and SO EXCITED over all the pink stuff! Glitter! Confetti!

OMIGOD the nail polish was the cutest thing ever.

Alex wasn't all that surprised by the pink, seeing as it was Elle's doing. Checking the gift bag, she laughed. That really was a lot of pink.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

Ellie wasn't really surprised there was so much pink. She did very much enjoy the contents of the gift bag, though. She grabbed a cookie and looked around to see who had shown up.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

Yuffie opened her bag and just stared at the contents. It looked like a pink malboro had exploded inside the bag.

Maybe cookies would help with the shock.

Cordelia shrugged at the amount of pink and grabbed a muffin to pick at for a bit. A sorority, overindulgence of pink or not, was still a damn cool thing to join.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

It was as though someone had taken one of Francine's pretty pink signs and made it into bag form, Morgana decided. She would have to ask what half of these things were, but she still looked rather pleased.

Re: Chat and Mingle -- 09/09.

Eleanor found her bag and just stared at the contents for a while. She didn't think she'd ever seen so much sparkly things all in one place. She tucked the bag under her arm, not sure what to do with it.

Suggestion Bag! -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Take a card and write down things you'd like AGB to do this semester. Slumber party! Plant trees! A car wash on an island with no cars so it's basically just an excuse for a bunch of girls to look cute in bikinis! Next week, various suggestions will be discussed.

Re: Suggestion Bag! -- 09/09.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan wrote bake sale on her suggestion card.

Re: Suggestion Bag! -- 09/09.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

Layla seemed to have several ideas:
World Domination
Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction
Sadie Hawkins Dance
Fandom Olympics between Clubs or just between us and the Fraternity

Re: Suggestion Bag! -- 09/09.

[formermayqueen.livejournal.com]

Cordelia tapped her card against her chin for a few moments before writing anything down.

Bake sale
Visit Children's Hospital
Slumber Party
Party - something holiday related?
Christmas auction

Talk to the Adviser -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

When she pings in! And, of course, she has a little gift bag, too!

Re: Talk to the Adviser -- 09/09.

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

In the spirit of the occasion, Glinda is wearing pink.

Raise your hand if you're surprised.

Talk to the Heads -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

If there's anything specific you want to bring directly to Turtle and Elle although the latter is likely AFK for the most part.

Re: Talk to the Heads -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle was there, looking over the set-up a little and trying to plot how to infuse more green and a lot less pink into all of this without hurting Elle's feelings.

They were Alpha Beta Gremlin, after all. Gremlins were green, not pink.

Sometimes greyish.

But definitely not pink.

A pink gremlin would be nightmarish.

OOC -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

I hope I didn't forget anything. :|

If anyone is interested in taking future posting/setting up duties, please let me know (especially, Turtle would like to add, if you're less inclined toward pink)! As a sorority, they should share the duties, and if you want to take charge, just give me an idea of when and I'll set up a schedule.

Re: OOC -- 09/09.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

I can help with posting/setting up duties, sure!
