Library, [10/31]

[furnaceface]

It would be a very, very silly mistake to assume that, just because today was Halloween, Jonothon wouldn't be in the library.

Okay, granted, Jono actually liked Halloween, particularly on this side of the ocean, where being a little freakish and a little frightening was more or less encouraged. He could handle that. In fact, he did 'freakish and frightening' like a pro.

... That said, wearing the costume that he'd worn to Petey Sci-Fi last night was about as good as he was going to be able to do. He'd spent money on the damned thing, he might as well get some use out of it, even if he couldn't play his rock-and-roll horn while singing Hot Patootie.

Some of the effect was probably lost on the fact that he was way, way more scrawny than Meat Loaf.

Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Who is hard at work, trying to shelve books in spite of the fact that the library is being extra tricksy and shifting where everything goes whenever he turns his back.

"Boo," grinned George although her icon does not show her smiling at all. "Nice costume."

She ... had an eye-mask on. Happy Halloween!

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Jonothon looked down at himself, raised an eyebrow, and then shrugged. The last time he'd checked, slingshots were not intended to be worn as jewelry, but who was he to nitpick the classics?

//It isn't terrible, I suppose,// he decided. //What are you dressed up as?//

He had to ask, in case he was missing something that was stunningly clever that had hit popular culture in the past fifteen years, or something.

"I'm not really dressed as anything," George said cheerfully. "I'm wearing a mask. That's about all the effort I'm putting in, to this whole costume idea."

She'd gotten the mask from that new store downtown. So, you know. That would end well.

"Wanna go trick-or-treating?"

//Well...// Jono considered that offer with a bit of a crooked squint, really. //I suppose if we go together, you can have my share,// he settled on. //But you really can't just... throw on a mask and expect that to count as a costume, Sunshine.//

"I don't really go for the candy, anyway," George admitted, grinning in a way that should have unnerved Jono, and probably did. "I just like getting to look into people's houses."

No, seriously.

"So ... what if I'm ... actually ... Bizarro George?" she suggested. "The mask is the only way you can tell us apart. But I'm not George. I'm all ... compassionate and I give a fuck about things and I'm really sincere a lot."

(The houses bit is seriously canon. MY CANON IS WEIRD AND I LOVE IT)

Ariel, in her oh-so-clever mermaid costume, had to swing by the library, just to see if Jono had dressed up, but, unfortunately, she couldn't really tell.

So she tilted her head and just told him so. "Are you just you for Halloween?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

Jono blinked and looked down at himself again.

//Well... no, actually. I'm a character from a film. I... don't suppose you've ever heard of Petey Sci-Fi Talky Picture, have you?//

Really, Jono. If she didn't know who Joni Mitchell was, she wouldn't know Petey Sci-Fi.

Re: Talk to Jono

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel smiled faintly and shook her head. "Nope. Should I have?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//No, probably not,// Jono allowed. //It's from th'seventies, anyhow. There's a rock'n'roll motorcyclist in th'film, at any rate. I'm dressed up as him.//

Hence the fake lobotomy scar, there.

//And yer... a mermaid,// he noted, appreciatively. //Very nice, luv.//

Elphaba was not in costume. Mostly because no one had bothered to tell her there was a holiday today. Or what it was about.

Instead she'd come to the library to get some new books and return the ones she'd been reading.

"Hello, Jonothon," she greeted, stepping up to the counter with her returns. "I hope you are well today?"

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//I've been worse,// Jonothon replied, pretty noncommittally. He'd been worse on, say, Thursday.

Thursday and Friday.

Actually, this had been a pretty terrible week in general, and he was mostly just trying to coast through the aftermath along with his good friend, denial.

//Yerself, Elphaba?//

Re: Talk to Jono

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Elphaba made a little half frown, but nodded. "I've been alright. Thankfully didn't die of awkwardness in Professor Perrault's office this week. It's been an... educational sort of week, I think."

Re: Talk to Jono

[furnaceface]

//I... actually enjoyed that lesson,// Jonothon confessed, reaching a hand up to rub at the back of his neck. //I thought it was an interesting twist on th'use of metaphor.//

Yes. Because Jonothon's not-sex scene had totally been written for its educational value, certainly.

Talk to the Librarian

[furnaceface]

If he's feeling up to coming in to work on Halloween. Jonothon might be the only one crazy enough to spend his holidays anywhere remotely school-related.

Re: Talk to the Librarian

The last Henry heard, Halloween was not a school holiday, so he'd be at work, trying to decide if he was wrecking the mood of the day by not wearing a costume.

Well, he did wear a lot of black.

After being in a stage production of Rocky Horror about a decade ago, I can't hear Hot Patootie without getting up and doing the dance along with the Transylvanian Chorus.

You don't even want to see me get into the Time Warp at karaoke nights.

Also, this icon is yummy. And will never be used again, as it was from Soap Opera Weekend, woe.

Re: OOC

[trigons_child]

My kingdom for better footage of this. :D

I was never in Rocky Horror (because me + a stage = Nic hyperventilating and collapsing), but I hung around with the cast so much I was constantly introduced as a cast member, heee.

Re: OOC

[furnaceface]

... Oh my gosh, that would have been glorious. I wanna see it with better footage too.

Hee! They always attract the most awesome people, those Rocky casts. :D

Re: OOC

[trigons_child]

I'm telling you, if we dig through our PBs I'm sure we can find almost the entire cast of RHPS for an AU weekend. So far I've got:

Bel = Frank
Tara = Janet
Quinn = Magenta
Hurley = Eddie

Re: OOC

[furnaceface]

... That would be so much awesome. And then some.

Re: OOC

[weetuskenraider]

. . . see, now I feel all guilty I didn't actually go to it . . .

Re: OOC

[furnaceface]

It's your fault! You're to blame!

Re: OOC

[trigons_child]

I imagine the instant you realized who Julian was you would've tried to call me but been unable to speak due to laughing and flailing. ;)
