Log:
A pair of deep, enormous red eyes sat in front of the receptionist and stared, intensely.

The receptionist pursed her lips and frowned, staring back through a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.

Claudy's enormously fluffy feet were reflected neatly on the glossy countertop, as were the wickedly-sharp talons that stuck out of them.

Those were the main things keeping the unfortunate receptionist on duty from shooing the owl Pokemon, although the beak wasn't much of an incentive, either.

"Um... young lady," she said hesitantly, trying to lean around the large bird, her chair creaking. "The lobby is intended to be a space for EVERYBODY..."

"And it still IS a space for everybody," Heather said, unloading a shoulderful of soft, folded blankets onto one of the lobby's sofas and dusting her hands off. Several other blankets had already been partially tied up over the back of the couch and stretched out to attach at the corners to rows of chairs that were painstakingly arranged in aesthetically-pleasing, tunnel-wall-like patterns. There were also the beginnings of several pillow-built barricades, and even some large cardboard boxes standing by on reserve, should the pillows run out before construction was complete. "It's just a COOLER space for everybody."

The receptionist's frown grew and she sighed, rubbing her temples and trying to ignore the Noctowl's unblinking stare. She was fairly certain that it had been placed there SOLELY to distract her from stopping the construction of 'New Lobby'-- and it was doing a fairly good job.

Why did the difficult visitors ALWAYS come downstairs while SHE was on desk duty?

Meanwhile, the wind howled outside, piling snow against the glass doors to the outside and plastering against the windows-- not that there was much to see out there, besides flying snow. It blotted out even the rest of the city's lights, which normally lit up the plaza outside like daylight even after dusk.

"Miss, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take all that down," she said for the fifth time in the past half-hour, and as usual, she was completely ignored as the scruffy blond girl tied a few more blankets up (with some difficulty due to her bandaged hands).

Biting her lip, she started to stand up.

Maybe if she just went over and started... taking all the blankets down herself--







And then suddenly, there was a low mooooooan of electricity deciding spontaneously that life wasn't worth it anymore and turning itself off.

The lights went out.

Silence reigned in the lobby.




.... for about five seconds.


"Oh my goodness..."

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED--"

[Feel free to make your own threads! They can be down in the lobby, they can be up in the rooms, they can be anywhere! Is your character in the bathroom plucking their eyebrows when the lights go out? WE WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, SO GO FOR IT. Are they falling down the stairs? POST THAT SHIT.]

[Threadhopping/jacking is totally encouraged, so TAG AROUND TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT, MY DUDES. If your own thread isn't getting replies right away, go ahead and jump in somewhere else! Look out for other characters in the same areas as yours-- lobby, hallways, staircases, etc! Have fun!]

"Well, I guess I can't blame you for that. I'm a beary unique kind of bear, after all," he mutters, still on the floor.

Teddie, absolutely oblivious to Envy's antics, gratefully accepts Envy's help to get up (and Envy may find in this bear's pocket P5000, along with several old candy wrappers, an empty can of pop, a lollipop, candycanes, a half-eaten bag of trail mix, and a pair of these glasses (http://youthrillme.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/nose-moustache-glasses1.jpg?w=365&h=293)). Lucky for Envy, the bear suit is rather heavy, so Teddie continues to lay on the floor. Just an empty sack of bear.

"Oof... It's hard to get up."
exeggutorhead: (what are you doing)

"Yeah, I can see that. Or...not see in the dark, whatever."

(with mun permission) Envy is going to yoink P2000 and two of the candycanes because he likes candy, stowing it all securely and secretly in his coat pockets for safekeeping. And to avoid suspicion, he'll keep trying to help Teddie up off the floor. Unfortunately for this effort, the bear suit is proving unwieldy. "Can't you take the suit off or something? You're wearing stuff under it right?"

"Take the bear suit off?!" At first, Teddie sounds offended. Then, suddenly, he nods as best he can on the floor, and proceeds to unzip the top of the suit, popping the head clean off its shoulder. And he still doesn't notice the thievery going on, as the blond boy crawls out of his costume and into the cold.

"Ah... That's much better!" he announces. Buuut then he shivers, rubbing his upper arms together. Seriously, it was a lot colder out here than he thought it was-- "W--why's it so cooollld out here?!"
exeggutorhead: (smug)

Envy couldn't really see what Teddie looked like, but he was shorter than he'd thought he'd be. But he shrugs it off, and answers, "The heat went out with the power, it looks like. It's still warmer in here than it was outside."

He starts taking a few slow steps back, wondering if he can just vanish into the darkness and move on to another target. Hopefully without tripping again on the way.

I'm sorry for the lateness. ;a;

"Yeah, but it's still really really cold," through chattering teeth. Honestly, who knew that a bear suit could make things that much warmer? Teddie didn't know that.

Cue Teddie planting his suit upright, ready to crawl back in once the temperature became too much to bare. Which, in truth, is probably soon. He doesn't notice Envy walk away--or if he does he doesn't say anything--instead humming under his breath as he picks up the bear head and places it gingerly back on... the body of the bear suit.
