There's an 6 A.M.???

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

*Curses. Slept most of yesterday with a hangover and is now awake way earlier than necessary. Gets up, gets it together, and heads out for food... and maybe more of that coffee stuff.*

*Nearly trips over nerdy guy sleeping in main hallway. Considers checking his pockets, but decides he's too scruffy to bother with. Spots That Damned Crate again, sitting outside the Admin office*

"Returned: Postage Due"? Oh, nice planning there...

...of course, since it seems rather abandoned forlorn all alone out in the hall here...

*Decides to check it out, for safety's sake, of course!... after all, who knows what could be stashed in there...? Heads back to nerdy guy, digs 'til she finds something vaguely computer-part-like in a pocket, and uses it to work open one edge of the crate.*

Now, what could have been important enough to put in a crate with all that postage on and ship home just as school's starting? Hmmmm???

*Gets corner open. Sees OMGWTF a leg?!?!?*

*Freaks! Loudly!*

*DEATH, returning from feeding Binky and making sure he is content on the school lawn, notices the commotion in the hallway. DEATH peers into the box, as best one can without eyes, examines sleeping fellow within curiously*

*Turns to glance at the girl who found the box*

*shivers* Voices? Now there are disembodied voices???

I am so out of here!

*takes off, as subtly as possible (which isn't very at this point), and at high speed*

*whispers* Psst, maybe the leg's just there to scare us off. Could be good stuff in there.

*mouth twists with distaste, as she carefully lifts the leg out of the way* Hey, cool. No clue what this crap is, but it's old, and it looks valuable.

Ooh shiny!

*appears suddenly behind Beka*

Hey roomie. What ya got there? Anything sharp, pointy, and up for grabs?

*eases her hand off her mini-pulse pistol* Hey Callisto. Nothin' much here, really. Some tech stuff, magic books. Nothin' valuable. *puts her foot over the throwing stars she's already pulled out of The Crate*

[OOC: Erm, the leg is attached to a body. A living body. My body. It's this whole plot we've been running for a week.]

*mutters* some school security...

*as if called, rover rolls down the hallway, stopping just behind lauraholt, and shimmers*

Look at it this way, the next time you have to pay an arm and a leg for something, you have the leg part down already.

What? I'm just saying...

*grins*

Oh very funny!

*walking by but obviously not part of the commotion, he spies the leg*

Beastly humans.


*walks on with an air of superiority*

The Leg Shifts

Potter! I've arrived!

...oh hell. This isn't Potter's house. *looks around at all the familiar faces staring at him* Oh hell. *checks side of box* INSUFFICIENT POSTAGE?!? Very clever. Well, they won't fool me twice!

*blinks* Oh hell. White ball. *scrambles* *runs*

*rover senses his prey target.*

*an ancient battle from another place and time.*

*giving a shudder, rover rolls after _notanumber at high speed.*

*on the way back from Classics, watches _notanumber flee the...bouncing white balloon*

So that's where he's been. Perhaps now people will stop thinking he's been assassinated. I'm sure time_agent will be delighted to have his roommate back.
