[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.

[theshabbiestofmen]

S and R, how about? Simply so it doesn't look too much like a cry for attention. Or perhaps M and P.

[doggedly]

M and P, always! This is the work of the Marauders, after all, we have to sign it as such! If we're going to make a name for ourselves, we must make it properly.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, yes, all right. Shall we conjure the paint now? It'll take a while to make enough for all the showers.

[doggedly]

That's what I've always admired about you, young Moony, you're always thinking.

[He heaves himself to his feet, stretching his arms over his head.]

What colours! Well, red, obviously, red and gold.

[theshabbiestofmen]

For your floor and mine, respectively. And-- oh, blue, let's do blue for Raven's floor, and green-- purple-- pink, perhaps? Not black, that would be rather horrible. Orange, that ought to be a floor. And silver.

[doggedly]

Silver, how are we going to do silver? Everyone's going to come out looking like bloody Muggle fairies!

[theshabbiestofmen]

What-- what on earth are you talking about, what do you mean, Muggle fairies?

[doggedly]

They're always silvery.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Fine, then, not silver. White, is that allowable?

[doggedly]

White. Yes. I think we can manage white. Distinctly less fairy-like. Or gold!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Might be a bit confusing with all the yellow for Gryffindor.

[doggedly]

We'll do it extra-sparkly. There will be no mistakes, and if there are, everyone will be too blinded by the sparkles to much care.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He laughs outright at that-- a rare and quiet thing, and one he immediately covers with his hand.]

Perfect! Absolutely perfect. Come on, let's go find some water to transfigure, I think that's the best way to attack this.

[doggedly]

[He grins at that laugh, pleased to have gotten it from Remus--it's not always easy to do, after all!--and jumps to his feet, offering him a hand up.]

Your kitchens ought to serve to get water from, and there'll be pots and things to keep it in. C'mon!

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He grins and grabs Sirius' hand.]

We ought to set a time limit on it. Just so we can be certain the entire ship won't hate us when paint dries in their hair.

[doggedly]

Free colour for their hair! They won't hate us, some may even thank us. We will be brightening up mundane existences.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Would you thank someone if they dumped blue paint on you?

[doggedly]

They wouldn't do it to me.

[theshabbiestofmen]

They absolutely would, if you keep up that attitude.

[doggedly]

They might try, but they'd be outsmarted. As usual.
