When: April 1st, 4 am
Where: The lobby, bar and surrounding corridors.
Who: EVERYBODY ~~DANCE NOW~~
Why: I emo'd up my own lj for april fools, but I kind of wanted to get something going here, too. Yes, I know it's april 2nd.

Water balloons - check. Thingies which make amusing noises when stepped/sat on - check. Bucket of jelly carefully balanced on every door (and windows propped open for use in circumnavigating said doors) - check. Variety of booby traps on the floor in the style of rakes to be stepped on and banana skins - check.

Destruction put the final finishing touches on the fake spiders hanging from the ceiling and grinned. All was set. Within a few hours, everybody was going to wake up, and most probably head down this way, where they would hopefully walk into his trap.

He made his way round to the stereo he'd hooked up with all those tripwires and selected a tape. It was Queen. In fact, looking through the box, it seemed that ALL the tapes were Queen. "Huh," Destruction muttered, wondering if someone else weren't playing April Fools jokes as well, then shrugged and put in the tape. Setting the volume to the loudest setting he climbed out onto a window ledge and settled down to wait...

"Yes, please. He" said Luna, pointing at Destruction, "pulled me down. Not that it wasn't funny," she added.

"Oh, yes, I remember now. Adam, isn't it? And it's been nice so far, although I've been rather busy trying to find Crumple-horned Snorkacks."

"I see that you're still pretty clean." Luna Summoned a bucketful of red jelly, but directed it to Adam at the last second.

Adam wasn't so distracted helping Luna off the floor that he didn't realize a bucketful of jelly was headed towards him, but he figured that getting hit wouldn't hurt anything and would entertain the others, so he allowed it.

"Strawberry," he laughed with dripping red jelly hair.

Luna smiled, and said, "Moo*!"

*My very first trick! And it worked!

Adam laughed as a blob of cold jelly went down his neck.

"Moo?"

"Moo!" nodded Luna enthusiatically.

It might be possible that she was getting the hang of communicating in 'Moo'.

Then again, maybe not. Seeing that Adam didn't really understand, she pointed at Wednesday, and then at herself, and said, "Moo.*"

*That old man tricked me into saying a spell, and now I can only 'Moo.' But it's alright really, only being able to 'Moo.' I just hope that the Anti-Bovine faction of the Ministry of Magic don't really think that I'm a cow, is all.

"Oh, I don't think they'll really think you're a cow," replied Adam, having tuned into the moo wavelength. "A cow certainly wouldn't know how to hold a wand."

He peered at her. "You know, if Mr. Wednesday doesn't take the curse off and you get tired of mooin' all the time, just come find me, okay?"

"Moo? Mooooooooooo!*" said Luna gratefully.

Looking sideways at Adam, she said, "Mooooo. Moooooooo....**" trailing off into thought.

*Really? Thanks!

**You know, I never really thought of cows holding wands. Or animals holding wands. Perhaps the Crumple-horned Snorkacks have managed to use some sort of wand. It would explain why they are so difficult to find...

With Luna distracted, Adam thought it'd be a good time to escape so as not to get caught up in the pie fight. He made his way for the door and slipped out, heading straight for the shower to get the jelly out of his hair.
