[doggedly]

[He collapses backwards, with a huuuuuge sigh.]

No! No! No no no no--that can't be the Marauder's first prank, no!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not performing up to expectation-- give us time, Sirius, we'll come up with something.

[doggedly]

We don't have time. I mean, we do, of course we do, but we don't have time to take with pranks. Have you forgotten everything that we stand for? Mice or men, Moony!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, yes, yes--

[He rolls his eyes, quite unimpressed with the dramatics.]

What about . . . hm. Something to do with the showers, and changing people. We could change everyone's hair and skin tone.

[doggedly]

[He considers Remus with a superior, thoughtful air.]

Better, yeah. Better. That's thinking. Or snow out of the showers.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Or both. Or snow out of certain showers, but ones that switch-- so as soon as they went to another stall, oh, well, that one is putting out snow as well.

[doggedly]

Or lizards!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Spiders?

CANS

[doggedly]

Really, Remus! Some people are afraid of spiders.

HAHA

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, that's rather what makes it amusing.

[doggedly]

This from the fellow saying we ought not to terrify people. Would you please make up your mind on that, I'd like to know if I'm allowed to make terrifying suggestions or only regular ones.

[theshabbiestofmen]

We're allowed to be terrifying as long as people don't think it's the ship trying to kill them-- honestly, Sirius.

[doggedly]

Don't say honestly Sirius as if that were some clear fact. You have to tell me the rules, you can't just make them and then say honestly, Sirius, it's not on.

Fine, then. Spiders. Mice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He sighs, but doesn't comment on that bit of unfairness. Instead he leans forward.]

The problem will be timing. We can't possibly get there before anyone else.

[doggedly]

[He sucks in a breath, wrinkling his nose in disgust.]

Yeah, I'd thought of that. Maybe some sort of time-delay thing, d'you think?

[theshabbiestofmen]

That might be complicated. We could try something with simply shutting off the showers for a while. Turning off the water, I mean, and then waiting until people clear out to work on them. It would be a delayed surprise, but one that gives us more time to work.

[doggedly]

[He drums his fingers against the floor, considering that one.]

S' better if there's no delays. Comedic timing, and all. What about the regular showers?

[theshabbiestofmen]

What, you mean a few days afterwards? Or while everyone else is showering by where we Jump?

[doggedly]

A few days after, of course. Just when they thought it was safe... paint in their shower.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[Despite himself, he snorts.]

Perfect. All different colors, I assume?

[doggedly]

Naturally. A different one for each level. That way we'll be able to tell where everyone lives at a glance.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Perfect. Let's call it-- oh, four days after the Jump?

[doggedly]

Four days it is!

[He grins, pleased, and sits back.]

Not bad for an initial prank, I think!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Not bad at all. Though I think we'd best leave some sort of signature, lest someone else take credit.

[doggedly]

'Course. We'll write it on the walls. It will be lovely to get direct credit for a prank, instead of relying on mere hearsay.
