Kappa Kappa Gremlin Meeting, After Classes

[puppy_fair]

It should be known to the world at large, or, at least, to the members of the Kappa Kappa Gremlin, that Zack was trying very, very hard to not bounce too much as people filed into the classroom for their very first meeting of the semester.

But he couldn’t help it! It was all so exciting!

“Hiya, guys!” That, at least, was accompanied by a merry little wave. “Welcome to the frat! Today, we’re going to be taking it pretty easy. Getting to know one another, chugging root beer, coming up with ideas for stuff to do this semester, that sort of thing!”

And if it involved belching out the letters of the alphabet during some sort of silly root beer drinking game, then what of it?

Alexander, thankfully, was much better about controlling his bouncing, though he couldn’t help chuckling a little at Zack. Let him be hyper; it helped take his attention off of how nervous he felt. “You’ll notice,” he said, “that we’ve got plenty of mugs of root beer and a lot of pizza here. But, before you dig in, there are a few caveats. We figured it would be a good way to get comfortable with each other, as well as prove the time-honored fact that most people are motivated by their stomachs.”

“For the root beer, we’re going to do a version of that game, I Never, where you make a statement about something you’ve never done, and those that also have never done that thing, quaff a chug of root beer! As for the pizza, you’re only allowed to grab a slice if you make a suggestion of something the fraternity could do this semester to better our school and community and lives.” He grinned a little. “We figured that would be a good motivator to get a lot of ideas, even if they’re only silly and hunger-driven to begin with. And, finally, when we’re done, because of all the root beer....”

He trailed off, gaining more of a grin, and figuring Zack might like the honor of finishing up this part.

“Belching contest!!!” This exclamation, of course, was accompanied by Zack’s arms being thrown into the air, and a bit of a splash of root beer from the mug that he was holding as a result. Oops.

Welcome to the Kappa Kappa Gremlin, boys.

[Please wait for the OCD! OCD up! Come on in, boys!]

Arrive! Mingle!

[puppy_fair]

Grab some root beer and eye up that pizza hungrily. You can have all of the root beer you want, but you have to earn the good stuff.

Dolf... hadn't actually ever had root beer in his life.

He stared at it for about a minute, then shrugged. What could go wrong, right?

Re: Arrive! Mingle!

[notagoose]

Shane eyed both the root beer and the pizza, neither of which he'd had, before getting some of both.

Chuck was getting a hell of a lot of free food today. Today, for this reason, was awesome.

Not much of a root beer guy, but he snagged some anyway, and did that eying of the pizza. Oooh, pizza.

Re: Arrive! Mingle!

[momslilassassin]

Mmm, pizza and soda. Ben had missed the fraternity.

I Never!

[puppy_fair]

You know the drill, right? One person steps up and says one thing that he’s never done, and then everyone else pings in to chug if they haven’t as well, or to stare longingly into their mug of flat root beer if they have. Good times!

Re: I Never!

[puppy_fair]

"All right! Let's kick this off, then!" Zack hoisted his mug into the air again.

People were going to need an umbrella, at this rate.

"I'm Zack Fair, SOLDIER 1st Class, and I've never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight!"

He wanted people to at least get one good swig in. So sue him.

Re: I Never!

Well, Alexander certainly could drink to that one, yet his wasn't at all concerned with his thinking that it was a surprise that he could.

Mmm, root beer goodness! It went down fast, but he tried to hold in any belching until later.

Re: I Never!

[swordsandsoccer.livejournal.com]

Well, he certainly hadn't done that, so Dolf took a big swig of his rootbeer--

And promptly performed an impressive spittake. "What is that?"

Re: I Never!

[momslilassassin]

Ben burst out laughing before taking a swig of his root beer. "Good to know," he teased.

Re: I Never!

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Laughing, Alexander didn't think he could top Zack's (although he figured at least someone in his family actually had done that before...), but he could always give it a go.

"And I'm Prince Alexander of Daventry," he offered, "and I've...never been in a fraternity until today!"

Because, see, unknowingly being a pawn for the dastardly machinations of a fraternity of evil wizards didn't really count. And, besides, it was a useful one! It would help him know who had done this sort of thing before.

Re: I Never!

[swordsandsoccer.livejournal.com]

Dolf had a slightly pained expression on his face, but he was plowing on through, dammit. "I'm Dolf Wega," he volunteered. "I'm working on my English still."

He eyed the can in front of him dubiously.

"And I have never... had root beer until today?"

Okay, that one was kind of lame.

Re: I Never!

[notagoose]

"Shane Gooseman, Goose," Goose said, "uh...I've never had pizza before today,"

Earn That Pizza!

[puppy_fair]

Share with the group your ideas for activities that the group can do this semester! For every idea, you get a slice of pizza!

Re: Earn That Pizza!

[knowsnokungfu.livejournal.com]

"Okay, I've always wanted to have some kind of gaming night," Chuck suggested. Because playing on your own sucked. "Halo, Mario Kart, that kind of thing." He really needed to find and encourage some fellow nerds, and... yeah, he wanted pizza.

BELCH!

[puppy_fair]

... Self explanatory. You’re boys, you don’t need instructions, right?

Re: BELCH!

[puppy_fair]

Oh, you had better believe that Zack was all over this. After a good chug of root beer, naturally.

He managed to get most of the way through the alphabet, even! Take that!

Re: BELCH!

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Alexander, thinking himself funny, made sure to take another big swig before attempting to belch out the tune to the Weeping Willow song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oJc91-jx5Y).

It wasn't too bad; got a little weak toward the end. But he was proud of his work; it was only made better by thinking about how his mother would probably faint in outrage at the heir of Daventry belching out songs.

Zack and Alexander!

[puppy_fair]

For all your Frat Leader Needs!

Re: Zack and Alexander!

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Really, with pizza, root beer, and belching, Alexander could only feel that his and Zack's first venture into leading the fraternity could only be a success and he looked over it all with the pride of a king looking over his unabashedly masculine kingdom.

Re: Zack and Alexander!

[puppy_fair]

Zack was way busy making his mun abuse punctuation chugging root beer, but that didn't mean that he was too busy to be spoken to.

... Or belched at.

This, he figured, was an important aspect of any fraternity that they simply could not do without, at least on their first day.

Fraser!

[puppy_fair]

For all your teacher advisor needs!

Re: Fraser!

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser was there, looking amused at the first meeting's activities. The fraternity looked to be fun this year.

OOC!

[puppy_fair]

I like exclamation points! And pizza! Whee!

Re: OOC!

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Ino is so embarrassed to know Zack at the moment.

*she says, from a very very wrong account*
