Festivus in July, Fandom High front lawn, Friday afternoon

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sometime during morning workshops, when no one was paying nearly enough attention except those concerned, the Fandom High schoolgrounds had filled with snow.

For the record, "those concerned" meant Rory Gilmore and several dozen snow cone distributors from the mainland. But who wants to ruin the illusion? Students who were curious might assume that it was simply a Festivus in July miracle, or some such.

In the middle of the lawn stood a bare, aluminum pole. Festivus tradition, you know.

[Yes, the schoolgrounds have snow. I'm weathermodding and saying it's cool enough today through this evening for it to stick, and it'll melt overnight. And yes, we're having Festivus in July. For those not in the know, here is a handy Wiki link! Please wait for OCD. Up, yay!]

"We can make Cam be a guard too," Molly said decisively. "Then, you can use him as a decoy if it becomes necessary."

"Oh, good call," John agrees. "He's bait!"

Re: Non-Festivus things

Molly grinned. "Exactly. So, who else do we want as a guard?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Hmmm." John thinks for a moment. "Principal Washburn?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

Molly laughed. "You want to ask the Principal to guard our fort?"

"She seems kinda tough and stuff," John explains. "And intimidating."

"Principal Washburn has a whole school to look after," Molly pointed out. "I don't think she'd want to guard a fort."

"On her days off?" Yeah, John really wants to see her guarding the fort for some reason.

Re: Non-Festivus things

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "Okay. You ask her."

"Okay!" John grins back. "Until then, we could ask Anakin? He's got a sword thingy too."

"Perfect," Molly said. "Okay, we just have an alternate to pick now."

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Hmmmm." He rubs his forehead, obviously in deep thought. Or he just think he looks cool. "Vladdie?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Oh!" Molly said excitedly, but then deflated. "But, no. He'd only be able to guard at night which wouldn't make him a good alternate."

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Damn," John says because that was a good choice. "Toasty?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly snorted. "You want a rhyming toaster to guard the fort?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't he scare you if he propositioned you?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"I don't know," Molly said. "I've never met him. I only heard him that one night on the radio."

Re: Non-Festivus things

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Ohhhh..." That makes sense. "Aeryn wants to kill it. Toasty has a loose mouth."

Re: Non-Festivus things

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"If Aeryn is inside the fort, and she wants to kill Toasty, do you think it's a good idea to put him on guard?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Good call. You are the brains of this operation." John thinsk again. "Callisto!"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Perfect," Molly said.
