Prank of the week! [ACTION]

[laughafterme]

[The entire cafeteria is gift wrapped.

No! REALLY! It's all gift wrapped in funky designs! Anything you can imagine, it's there! Ribbons and bows included!

Chairs! Tables! Lunch trays! Spoons! Forks! Knives! EVERYTHING IS GIFT WRAPPED! Have fun unwrapping them.

And there is a pink gorilla sitting at a table, drinking tea from a very nice teacup and saucer.

It's apple tea, by the way.]

[Shakes head in shame. That's so sad! Dancing is the best thing ever!]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

It was truly one of the most pathetic experiences I've had the misfortune to be a part of. He utterly ruined my homecoming night.

[laughafterme]

[Tilts head to the side in confusion. Now what could have been so bad?]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[she sighs and shakes her head] Such occurrences aren't fit for polite company, particular between people who have only just made each other's acquaintance.

[laughafterme]

[Rose is so deprived of good dancing!

The gorilla pauses and goes over to the mini radio, which was playing a CD. Changes the track to something more western.

Can she line dance?]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

I'm capable of it, but I'm afraid you'll have to make it worth my while. [she crosses her arms. line dancing is so silly.]

[laughafterme]

[...OH REALLY?

The gorilla leaves for a few moments before returning, wearing a cowboy hat. There is a purple paisley handkerchief for her to tie around her neck and a matching purple cowboy hat.]

[HOW DID SHE KNOW ABOUT HER SECRET LOVE OF THE OLD WEST

she can't help but laugh a little as she takes the articles]

If I go along with this, I expect payment in a nice pot of freshly brewed tea.

[laughafterme]

[WOMAN'S INTUITION?

Awwwwyeah! Gonna get our line dance on!

There is a stiff salute in confirmation! Tea will be prompt and hot!]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

Very well then. Saddle up, partner. [and she slings the hat over her eyes in a rakish fashion. NO NEED TO BE UNCLASSY ABOUT THIS]

[laughafterme]

[A tip of the hat later and off they go! Crossing feet in line! And however line dancing goes!]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[they are the best cowpokes ever. they just cannot be beat.]

[laughafterme]

[There is much hat twirling and knee slapping, along with pretending to ride a pony. Talk about crossbreeding!

In the end, the dance is completed, and it was divine! It bows in gratitude before offering its arm. Time for that tea!]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[she tips her hat and then loops her arm with the gorilla's. this is so stupid, but it's also kind of what she needed at the moment]

Thank you kindly.

[laughafterme]

[Stupid is as stupid does!

SKIPPITY SKIP SKIP TO THE TABLE! The chair is pulled out for her.]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[she bobs her head and takes a seat, arranging her skirt primly] I can only imagine where a higher primate learned such mannerisms.

[laughafterme]

[Once the chair is pushed in after Rose, the gorilla spreads its arms wide, answering her pondering statement.

In Balamb, DUH!

The teapot is still not warm enough for tea, so have some arm flailing in panic! OH NOES! A fresh pot is needed, stat!

So off it goes to the kitchen to make a new pot.]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

I had no idea that this universe was so insistent on good manners for all its fauna. [she shakes her head and watches it go. for once she's a little glad there's no one she knows around anymore]

[laughafterme]

[A piping hot tea pot is carried in by the gorilla, which is wearing oven mitts. Daisy print oven mitts! It's set down on the table after a cup of tea is poured.]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[she takes the cup with a nod and begins stirring in her sugar and milk] Thank you. A good cup of tea is always refreshing, no matter the circumstances.

[laughafterme]

[It cartwheels over to its own seat across from Rose and sits, as if the stunt was planned. The gorilla pours itself a cup and sips...

Well, Pinkie has to lift the mask up a bit to get it into her mouth. YOU SEE NOTHING.]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

[SHE SEES THAT BRO, SHE'S A GODDAMN SEER and it makes her raise an eyebrow. buuuut she'd known from the start that there was no such thing as pink gorillas, and she's willing enough to play along for the time being]

So, are you here for the duration or should we expect you and your belongings to be packed up before the day is out?

[laughafterme]

[Scratching its head, the gorilla shrugs because this prank is the best yet! Why leave?]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

You never know when the rug will metaphorically be slipped out from under you, that's all.

[laughafterme]

[...OH NO!

It jumps onto the table and looks down over the edge of the table tentatively, looking around for a rug.]
