Kappa Kappa Gremlin, The Park - Monday After Classes

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Today, the members of the fraternity had been told to meet in the park, where they'd see a lineup of brightly-colored go-karts just waiting to be claimed by a dozen crazy frat-boys who might just be in need of some serious stupidity after a weekend of dealing with parents and assorted others.

Or, at least, that was the logic of the two leaders of the frat, who had also been fortunate enough to survive the weekend.

"Hey, guys," Warren said, smiling (a bit twitchily, all weekend-surviving aside) at the group, a helmet tucked under one arm. "Today, we figured we could use a bit of action and reckless abandon, so we arranged for some go-kart racing. We've roped off a portion of the park so that you don't have to worry about driving into any unsuspecting pedestrians, and there are helmets, because we're all teenage guys and we know you're going to drive like idiots and probably try to take these things downhill or something, right?"

Look, it's what Warren would do. He wasn't going to judge.

“And we’re not allowed to tweak the cars,” Tony added sulkily. He could have made them so much better if given just five minutes at the engines. “When you’re not racing, let us know if you have any ideas for future meetings that don’t involve more pizza.”

That was always a given.

“So, have fun.”

Arrive/Mingle

Talk about how your weekend went. Possibly repress it.

Bod's weekend had started in a completely shocking fashion but had ended fairly well. He'd survived this Parents Weekend and he'd actually found himself happier for it.

So, he was there, not repressing and actually smiling.

Topher's weekend had pretty much sucked, though not for the reason most people's probably had. He picked the pepperoni pieces off a slice of pizza that was still in the pizza box and shot Tony sullen looks.

No, he didn't know why. Even if everyone else did.

And he had what was possibly the hugest bruise on his face yet. Thanks, Kelly.

Ben noticed the looks and the bruises and drew the wrong conclusion. "Did Tony punch you?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[momslilassassin]

Ben was not moping around because Ender was gone for a few days because that would be completely stupid, okay?

And he was kind of guiltily thrilled that his dad was gone.

Plus go-karts were astral, even if they couldn't get tweaked.

"They'd be better with missiles," he said because it was totally true.

"Well, if you want to build your own one for the next time we do this..." Yes, Tony. This is exactly what the island needs. Real life Swarthy Italian Plumber Kart.

Oh, boy! Go-Karts! Butters was grounded, but, really, it's not like No Go-Karts were specifically part of the punishment, right? It was a school function, since it was the Frat that was doing it, so it was totally okay!

Oh, boy!

Goose's weekend had actually been pretty good, all things considering, so he had no need to repress.

Go-Kart!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Just don't crash it. This isn't bumper cars, you know.

Re: Go-Kart!

[therewaslife]

Good mood or not, Bod still wasn't going to be driving fast in the go karts. He hopped in one, got himself familiar with the controls as quickly as he could before he hit the gas and took off like a shot.

All right, perhaps Professor Bond's classes had paid off a little. He didn't feel quite so awkward behind the wheel of a vehicle now. In fact, he was actually cruising at a good clip.

Re: Go-Kart!

[dollpocalypse]

Topher considered whether or not it was a good idea to drive one of the go-karts when he could basically only see out of one eye. Finally he shrugged and hopped in anyway.

And proceeded to play with all the controls for about ten minutes. What? He needed to know these things!

Chuck had no intention of crashing. If this was videogame cars? Totally. But when it came to the safety of himself he was all about the cautious.

... Except this was go karts, so the chances he would stay that way to the end were low.

Re: Go-Kart!

"Vroooom! Vroom Vroom!"

Yes, even though the Go-Karts made engine noises all on their own with their actual engines, Butters was still wont to make the noises as he went around the track. He wasn't the best driver in the world and had a few bumps or swerves, but, for the most part, he was pretty darn good at these Go-Kart things.

Go-Karts were one of those things that Richie had always wanted to do when he was a kid but his childhood being what it was, he'd never gotten a chance to.

There was some poorly disguised glee on his face as he started zooming around the park.

Talk to the Club Heads

When they tag in!

Re: Talk to the Club Heads

Tony was, of course, there. And on his phone, wondering what a text of 'how r u ;)' from Whitney meant. The winking was ominous if you asked him.

Re: Talk to the Club Heads

[dollpocalypse]

"What are you, like, texting a girlfriend or something?"

Topher, stop sounding like a jealous little kid. Please.

It was Monday, which meant it was the day for one of Rosella's favorite activities: figuring out what the fraternity was doing for their meeting, putting on her fake mustache, and bothering Tony Stark.

"I say!" she said in her usual brusque, manly voice. "What cunning little motorized vehicles! I bet you get quite the testosterone-filled thrill behind the wheel of one of those!"

Re: Talk to the Club Heads

[wwiii]

Warren was mostly just thankful that his dad was gone again. There had been entirely too much awkwardness, and while he'd had about a million questions he wanted to ask, mostly he'd just had the opportunity to prove that he could take care of himself.

That was something, right?

Talk to the Faculty Advisor!

When he tags in.

Tyrion was very, very curious as to whether he could take a ride in a go cart. He didn't know what one was, but any man could see they went fast. That was what he wanted.

Re: Talk to the Faculty Advisor!

[wwiii]

"You know," Warren said, smiling a little as he made a reach for one of the helmets, "there's no reason why you have to sit on the sidelines and just watch and eat pizza every week."

Warren was observant sometimes! The curiosity didn't go completely unnoticed, no.

OOC

Why is it so cooooold?

Re: OOC

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Because it's October. And October is hateful.

Cause you are not in England. It was full on sunbathing weather the last few days. I think we stole summer.
