Announcement and Refugee Hosting in The Gym, Friday Evening

The P.A. crackles to life.

"We shall be opening our doors to the poor, powerless townsfolk. They are to gather in the gym. Volunteers to help organize blankets, bedding, food, and etcetera would be very welcome."

Smith then walks down to the gym, props open the doors, and walks away. This was going to be a mess, and he felt ignoring it would be the best method to deal with it, rather than letting his head explode. Again.

[ooc: Huzzah! Townies can come to this post for their safety and warmth! Screening is disabled! Students and Teachers are welcome to organize something... but as it's an emergency, we hath not actually organized the refugee effort! Organize! Be Swift! But above all, interact and have fun!]

"Could work," Tommy said. "This school got a music program?"

"I'm unsure but it looks an interesting fellow (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/570218.html?thread=26773866#t26773866) just walked in the door and I'm sure I heard the word entertainment," Fraser says, pointing towards Lorne and the band. "Music might be a good solution for the entertainment problem."

"Okay, not denying your point but - " Tommy pointed at Lorne incredulously " - is everybody in this town either green or gay?"

"As far as I know, no one's taken a census on the sexual preference and/or skin color as of yet," Fraser says, crossing his arms for warmth. "But, really, does it matter if he's homosexual and green if he stops the whining?"

"When you're right, you're right," Tommy said. "Wanna ask him about doing a number or two? Just not 'Copacabana'. We're all suffering enough."

"True enough," Fraser says. "Though, Mr. Gavin, I do think this might turn into a karaoke bar soon enough. That man," he says, pointing towards Lorne, "is from Caritas. Karaoke bar in town. So, this place might turn into an impromptu concert hall for the willing."

"Jesus Christ," Tommy said. He looked around. "Is there somewhere we can put them so that I don't have to grab your gun and go on a murder spree when that happens?"

Fraser looks around the gym for doors that might lead to other rooms or closets.

"As of right now, I think they're safer staying in one area," Fraser remarks, tapping his chin. "But, if the karaoke gets too bad and starts disturbing people, I'm sure we could find a way for the electricity to be halted to their equipment."

Tommy smirked. "Damn those power outages, huh? So help me if one of those assholes starts singing MacArthur Park I'm strangling them with the wires myself."

"What about board games?" Fraser asks. "The music can't last all night so as to let people sleep. Are there board games are card games around here?"

"Set up a proper poker match and I'll join you," Tommy said. He looked around. "Could ask the kids if they've got anything. If anybody from town ranked Parcheesi high on their must save list, I don't want to come near them enough to entertain them."

"Good point," Fraser says. "I doubt many thought to bring board games with them. However, I'm sure cards can be rounded up somewhere in this place. It is a school after all."

Fraser glances back at the band. "Are you going to take a turn at the microphone, Mr. Gavin?"

"Not unless I start drinking again, pal," Tommy said. "There's a barbershop quartet that'll back me up on that."

"You were in a singing quartet, Mr. Gavin?" Fraser nods approvingly. "Impressive. A man of many talents."

"Oh yeah," Tommy said. He looked like he really wanted a cigarette. "We won awards. Made women weep with joy. It was the time of my life."

"And, yet, you're reluctant to give us a taste of your musical stylings? Mr. Gavin, I bet you could entertain all these people with one song," Fraser says, smiling widely.

"~~Actually I know this one that starts with the letters A-S-~~ Told you, not unless I start drinking again," Tommy said. "And if I do that, I'll be doing a lot funnier things than singing, believe me."

"Maybe later then," Fraser says and smiles. "Mr. Gavin, what do you think about sleeping in shifts? The adults, I mean. I'd hate for someone to wander outside, become stranded and no one knows they're gone."

"Sounds like a plan," Tommy said. "Otherwise it's the kid with the Jewfro in charge of everything and who knows what that'll turn into?"

Fraser doesn't quite understand Jewfro but he leaves it alone. "Very good. I'm not adverse to taking the first shift if you'd like to sleep or we can both do it? Groups of two might be better."

"I'm good for a few more hours at least," Tommy said. "Put me down for whatever shift ends then."

"All right," Fraser says, nodding. "I'm good for awhile longer as well. I'm sure Dr. Pevensie will help out and I have seen some faculty around here."

"Some of the kids aren't half-retarded either," Tommy said. "Could deputize 'em."

Fraser almost chokes but he's able to cover it with a well placed cough.

Ignoring the first comment, he says, "Yes, I believe you're right. I've seen several people in the medical area that seem competant. And Mr. Sandburg is also very alert and intelligent."

"Sandburg," Tommy pointed, "medical chick" he pointed at Alanna "gopher" he pointed at Jarod. "They all look like they wouldn't accidentally set themselves on fire. Oh, and if we're going for adults throw in Jeeves there." He pointed at Alfred.
