OFF WITH HIS SHOES!

[arianna]

Standing just outside the door, Arianna listen to the slow rhythmic breathing, punctuated by a snore or two, that indicated that the occupants inside were sound asleep. She had sent Juni, who was now nearly and adult kitty, inside moments before, along with her small owl Snip, to take care of a very important task.

"No, no," Arianna hurriedly whispered to Juni as he dragged a large shoe toward her. The cat blinked and tipped his face to the side. "It's close, but we want one like this."

The girl reached into the bag at her side, producing another shoe. A right shoe, that is, and pointed out the differences between it and the left shoe Juni had retrieved. Juni seemed to understand and hurried off to try again, leaving Arianna to nudge the unwanted shoe out of the doorway. She was happy to see both creatures return seconds later, one after the other, with the proper shoe, then hurry back into the room for more. This was much better than risking the traps, which would certainly go off if Arianna had wandered inside. Cat and owl seemed to be enjoying it, too. They were certainly quieter than she could ever be.

Fifteen minutes later and Arianna's bag was stuffed fuller and weighing three times more than it had been before. Arianna smiled at the task well done and offered her pets more treats than they usually saw in a week.

Hefting the pack on her shoulders, the girl hurried down the stairs and out of the common room, Juni at her heels and Snip perched on her shoulder. Their adventures for the night were not yet complete.

{Things to note: Arianna has stolen every Ravenclaw's (boys and girls) RIGHT shoe. I shall post the link to the reason why soon enough. Have fun ;D Oh....she's also left the building.}

[kalakin]

Kalakin had been up in the boys dorm lurking around, not being able to sleep for the lack of noise in her own dorm and all the surrounding ones she had decided to slip over to the boys to see if it was louder. Indeed the boys seemed to snore a bit more, or louder at least, but this dorm still lacked noise. She was used to the TV going, a radio blaring, Adams loud snoring, Casey’s sleep-talking, and the sound of all there animals as well as the sounds of the city. In this strange silence of night she found it hard to sleep, just as she had done the previous year.

The traps had been set to go off for anything bigger than a house-elf (even though few house-elves set foot in the sty that was the boys' dorm). Cat and owl were safe, as well as the shoes they carried to the unseen Ravensister.

But the next intruder?

Even the smallest second year would be bigger than a house-elf. If she thought she was unable to sleep when she wandered into the boy's dorm, she was really going to be awake.

As soon as she passed through the doorway, the paintbombs set in the rafters dropped, splattering her with bright blue paint.

It was only the beginning.

[kalakin]

When Kala was suddenly hit with bombardment of the icy cool blue paint she jumped so severally she fell down the stairs but managed to catch herself halfway down on the rail. Looking down at herself she saw that she had been hit with paint and laughed aloud. Quiet suddenly she felt more at home, this was the kind of thing J.R. had trapped his room with. She wiped it off her face and using the paint on her hands write on the wall, “The Painted Ravenclaw has been here. My revenge will come.” Stepping back to admire her handiwork she barely dodged the next bombardment of paint. Figuring she better get out of her quick she hurried down the steps. As she passed the door into another one of the dorms the stairs slid together into a slide and sent her sliding down to the bottom where more paints was promptly dumped on her. Still laughing she got up and hurried up to the bathrooms to try wash off the paint off her clothes and herself. She didn’t mind she was covered in paint but thought it would be better to wash off the evidence she had been up here.

[Drew Thornton]

It was his stomach that woke him, but it was the booby-traps going off that actually got him up. He heard the tumble and the laughter, but didn't rush to catch the culprit. The guilty party would be clearly marked for at least a week.

With a rub to his eyes, he decided to take a quick trip to the bathroom before heading down to the commonr room to recover the extra dessert he had stashed down there.

[kyleh]

Kyle was sleeping like a baby the entire time. Nothing, well, almost nothing, would be able to wake the boy when he's determined to not wake up. And after classes, more classes, and even more classes, he really needed his beauty sleep.

But he was having the weirdest dream. A dream where he fell off the staircase. The oh so very real sudden weightlessness woke him. He looked around groggily, and climbed onto his bed from the floor, quickly drifting back to sleep.

[Hiro McVeil]

The tumbling, laughing, rubbing, more laughing, shuffling, thudding and more shffling was more than enough to reach Hiro's sensitive ears. He sat up a little with his blindfold still firmly over his eyes.

"Hey Drew sounds like an intruder." Hiro stated unaware that his friend had recently taken a short trip.
