Yule potluck party post is here! Open RP for all school

Dec 21, 2010 23:03

On the day of the Hufflepuff-hosted potluck, the Great Hall had been transformed to accommodate the event, courtesy of Skwisgaar, a few of his bandmates, and several other helpful volunteers from Hufflepuff -- and one Ravenclaw. Skwisgaar and Toki's adoptive dragon-son, Smaug, had assisted with arranging some of the heavier items ( Read more... )

Togged out in preppy finery, Andy Bernard flashed a nervous smile to the room in general. He'd already dropped off the present for his Yule Goat, which left his hands free for something he'd brought as a gift to the whole party. The gift of music.

The Nard-dog had his banjo strapped on, all ready to get this hootenanny started.

Dwight had opened his Yule goat gifts, after dropping off his own, rather bulky present, and had partaken in some of the wine. Seeing Andy with a banjo, though, he made his way over to his fellow Dunder Mifflin employee and produced a recorder, launching into a sprightly rendition of "Sleigh Ride" without any prompting. He was all for starting the party off right, with the gift of music!

"My man Dwight Schrute on the recorder! Give it up for Dwight!" Andy exhorted the general vicinity, before launching into "Sleigh Ride" in time with Dwight's piping.

The banjo twanged and Andy crooned along -- getting most of the words right, most of the time. It was a way easier song to remember than, say, the Kit Kat jingle.

Eventually, Dwight gave up on the recorder so that he could harmonize with Andy on the final verse of the song, and when it was done, even though no one else was around to do it for them, he applauded enthusiastically.

Andy beamed hugely, joining in the applause. He applauded Dwight; he applauded himself; he tried to take a bow while applauding, which didn't work very well given that he still had a banjo strapped to the front of his body. Wincing, he resumed his applause. "DWIGHT SCHRUTE, EVERYBODY! AND I am ANDY BERNARD! And we are DUNDER-MIFFLIN HOGSMEADE! Wooooo!"

He attempted to do a terrorist-fistbump with Dwight.

The terrorist fistbump was a collossal failure, though that didn't stop Dwight from trying it anyway.

"It's the Nard Dog, ladies and gentlemen, on the banjo!" he shouted, trying to work the nonexistent crowd as well.

"GET OFF THE STAGE!" Turlough couldn't help yelling, still stuck in the catgirl body. He suspected that the food might be prolonging it.

Fuck.

Oh, look, an adoring fan. So... not so adoring, but someone was listening.

And obviously, since said fan was a catgirl, this required Dwight's rendition of "Santa Baby". Which he was happy to provide.

And obviously, Dwight's rendition of "Santa Baby" would have been just fine a cappella, but it could only be that much better accompanied by the banjo.

Dunder-Mifflin, Unplugged.

Andy didn't throw in too many otiose harmonies and trills as backup singer. This moment should be Dwight's as soloist. There was an etiquette to these things, no matter what Broccoli Rob might say.

"You do realize that song's about whoring yourself?"

Okay, it might not be, but Turlough's in a belligerent mood.

Andy's taste in women did not run to catgirls dressed like maids. Looked like one of those smelly Risley kids. Even Hogwarts must have its Risleyites, he supposed.

"That song," he said superciliously, "is actually a lighthearted critique of materialist excess, with a dash of sexy sass. Duh."

Ari Two, aged eighteen, currently believed she was Ari One, chronologically aged 120 and kept by rejuv at a physical age of fortysomething. Her preoccupations and interests were now those of Ari One. She was looking for people of similar mind.

The fellow bearing the closest resemblance to her Reseune colleague Denys Nye seemed like a good candidate.

Ari made her way over to him, soft drink in hand, and bestowed upon him a sly, knowing smile.

"You look like the ambitious type. Do I miss my guess?"

Dwight, having finished serenading the crowd, looked over at the very young woman with some interest. "Yes," he said, surprised and pleased by her statement. "You could say that. What makes you ask?" In the absence of Michael, much of the management of Dunder-Mifflin Hogsmeade had fallen on his shoulders, and this branch held even less promise than the Scranton one did.

"Like calls to like," said Ari, ever so enigmatically. "This place feels ripe for a regime change."
