№ 007 scarves

Took them long enough! I sent in that order for this one guy's scarf. It's real dorky. I guess I kinda like it, and I sort of wanted one, but hey, I'm really nice, so I decided I'd just get a bunch of 'em!

...Too bad I'm real broke now. I stole some money from a couple guys off the street, but I guess I'm going to need more than that. Money's a real pain, you know that, journal? I should just get anything I want. Oh, yeah. I decided I was going to hang all the scarves up in the halls, just to be annoying. It'll look really funny, hee hee! I think I'll take his clothes, too, but I haven't quite thought it through yet... Talk to ya.

[[On Friday morning, something strange is decorating the school. And it may or may not be classified as a Halloween decoration.



Duplicates of Morty's scarf lay strewn everywhere - the hallways, the cafeteria, the library, you name it - especially on clotheslines that seem to have been intricately hung up overnight. In addition to that, every so often, one might run into one of Morty's other articles of clothing, such as a sweater, a sock, or that dweeby headband. However, the scarves surprisingly outnumber any of his others clothes, and by a large margin.

Hey, at least you'll be prepared for the oncoming winter this Mortymas.]]

[NO IT'S PROBABLY DIRTY AND HAUNTED OR SOMETHING STUPID LEAN AWAY]

[LEANS CLOSER. And throws the end of the scarf around her neck and shoulders.]

A-ha!

[Knee-jerk reaction! DEATH GRIPING THE FREE-HANGING PART OF THE SCARF THAT CONNECTS THEM TOGETHER and she kind of just freezes right there. And stares at the scarf. With extra frowning action. And stares at Lighter.]

...Nothing's happening.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. If somethin' was gonna happen it probably woulda happened when I first put it on. It's... kinda sad when it's harder to believe somethin's normal than believin' it's magic.

[Sssslowly let go. Gosh this scarf is comfy and easy to wear.]

Still doesn't explain who hung them up everywhere.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

[Aww yiss sharing scarves that is so gay. NONE FOR YOU, FALCON.]

Some weirdo, not that that narrows it down none. I've had a hell of a time tryin' to carry my 4x4 around without gettin' it caught on all of the clotheslines.

[BUT HE STILL WON'T PUT IT DOWN.]

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

So don't carry it around today?

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

It's my baby.

I get real off-balance without it, I've had it so long.

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

[Are you serious.]

Off-balance. As in, you can't walk or function?

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

I can function! Just... it makes me lean a little to the right.

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

I don't believe you. [TRYING TO YOINK LUMBER AWAY]

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Hey! Don't--

[OH MAN. SHE DID THAT WITH LIKE ONE HAND WHAT THE--]

[Anyway Lighter is staring at Samus and concentrating veeeeery hard on staying totally upright.]

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

[She kh-thunks it on the ground next to her like she's staking a claim in this... hallway. Oh my god he's totally wobbling and THE SCARF PROBABLY ISN'T HELPING.]

See? You're fine.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

[SPOILERS: It isn't as bad when he's not being all self-conscious about it. LIGHTER YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE FOR YOURSELF.]

Yeah, just... fine. Now give it back.

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

[Here you go. OH YEAH you can have the scarf too. She unwraps it and kind of just awkwardly holds it out to him.]

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

[Indignantly readjusts the scarf around his neck and puts HIS BABY on his shoulder.]
