Ariza was about to start washing her hair when she stopped, staring at the substance in her hands. Now that she thought about it, it seemed a little more... sticky than shampoo was supposed to be. And it smelled different than the shampoo Cat-Eyes had left in the bathrooms... (yes, she'd smelled it a couple times).

She gave it an experimental sniff. It smelled kind of minty, like...

She touched her tongue to it experimentally, before drawing it back into her mouth and giving the bottle in her hands a long, bewildered stare.

"Toothpaste."

She stared at the toothpaste-filled shampoo bottle for a moment, her mental cogs whirring and clanking noisily in her hand and drowning out the sound of the shower within her mind.

She finally muttered, "The Prank Master strikes again," before quickly turning off the water, climbing out, and grabbing the toothpaste bottle and switching it out for the shampoo bottle before walking back over to the shower and turning the water back on.

"I'll clean up the water on the floor later."

"This is... disturbing." Petra poked her head back into the library just in time for Becky to mutter this, her eyebrows raised and a faint red blush on her cheeks.

"What's disturbing?"

The blonde-brown-haired girl jumped a couple inches as she turned to see the redhead wearing a plain white t-shirt and shorts- after giving their laundry twelve washes, both Ivor and Petra had relented and let her go have some of her own time (since she'd barely eaten one bite of her apple before the two of them burst in asking her to wash their laundry).

"Oh, hi Petra." She waved the book at Petra before pulling the one next to it off the shelf. "I'm not sure, but... I think the Prank Master decided to pay me a little visit and replaced all the books with one specific book."

"This one book is enough to make you blush, apparently," Petra added, her eyebrow raised.

Becky's blush deepened until it was nearly a deep crimson. This was actually a little disturbing; Becky hardly ever really emoted anything except for annoyance. But right now it looked like she might actually be embarrassed.

"... yeah. It's also a bit of a pain in the arse, I wanted to read something new. This is not new for me."

"Well, what book is it?" Petra asked. She still didn't really know why Becky was blushing.

Becky tossed the book underhand at Petra, the redhead having good enough reflexes to snatch it out of the air and look at the cover.

A moment later, her own blush spread over her face, and she just blinked at the cover several times as if trying to blink it back out of existence. "... ah." She now understood why Becky was blushing.

The book's cover read, 50 Shades of Grey.

Jesse was still looking for her room- while they'd found it relatively easily, she'd had to go to the bathroom... and now she was lost in the hallway again.

Thankfully, it didn't take long to find the long strand of yarn in the hallway, and following that to the door which lead to her room wasn't too much of a problem (at one point she almost started going the wrong way before realizing this and rectifying her mistake), and she pushed the door open.

The black-haired girl blinked.

Maybe she'd gotten the room wrong after all?

The room was upside down.

The bed, the dressers- even the lamps were Notch-damn upside down right now.

It wasn't until a drip of green hit the floor that the slightly-sleepy Jesse realized what must've happened- the Prank Master (seriously, who else could've pulled this off) had gooed everything in this room to the ceiling and basically turned the room upside down.

As if to confirm this fact, one of the lamps slowly began to unstick before coming loose and falling from the ceiling to the floor.

Jesse hauled the door shut just in time to hear a loud smashing sound and to hear something smack into the door.

Opening the door again, she saw a spray of ceramics blasted in a circle from the impact point and several shards of ceramics wobbling on the floor near where it must've blasted straight into the door.

"... that Notch-damned Prank Master..."

Axel was in the middle of his nap when something smacked into his face, making him jolt upright, overbalance, and topple off the bed. Toni twisted around from where she was sitting with a laptop- he'd been chatting with her until he fell asleep, just to pass the time. "Oh- Axel? Something wrong?"

The burly boy let out a grunt as he sat up and rubbed his face. "Uh, nothing important- I think something smacked me in the... face... though..." Axel looked down at the slightly gooey book that was oozing green slime on the floor. Both teenagers sat and stared at the book.

"How in the world did that-" Toni was cut off with a yelp, rubbing her own head as another book bounced off her head and landed on the floor next to her. Then another book came down.

Axel looked up at the ceiling musingly- and then froze. "... uh... Toni?"

The pixie-cut-haired girl slowly followed his gaze and felt her jaw hit the floor at the sight of hundreds of books slimed firmly to the ceiling, dripping slime and a couple of them starting to fall out.

Another one began to drip off, and then another.

"Take cover?"

"Take cover."

Axel dove under the bed he'd borrowed, and Toni snatched up her laptop and followed under her own, moments before a barrage of slimed books came unstuck from the ceiling and hit the floor with enough force to make the whole room vibrate ominously.

"Yeah, I am going to kick the Prank Master's butt from here to Kansas," Toni grumbled when the last book thudded to the floor.

Axel just poked his head out from under the bed and regarded the sticky, oozing book covers. "... y'know, I think I agree with you on that front."

Ivor and Rebekah were moving through the hallways, looking for potion ingredients again. This time, Ivor was very careful about opening any random doors- he also had Rebekah open some of the doors herself, so...

They were just passing one room to the left when the door flew open, making Ivor stagger and ram into a small table that he was pretty sure hadn't been in there the day before. He unleashed a very creative slur of curses before glancing up at Rebekah apologetically.

Not that she noticed; she'd just run into a large vase and had to catch it before it shattered.

"Does this hallway seem a little-" Her hip rammed into another small table, knocking three ornaments off of it and letting them smash on the floor, spraying ceramic shards on the floor. "Shifted over to you?"

"Yes, now that you mention it-"

Ivor didn't even finish his sentence when another door flew open, slamming full into his face and sending him reeling back, into an umbrella stand, tripping backwards over the fallen vase and Rebekah, and slamming flat onto his back.

Rebekah was learning exactly how many swears Ivor really knew in this one hour.

Cho and Olivia were playing chess in the kitchen when Cat-Eyes flickered into view on the screen. "You two haven't gotten pranked by the Prank Master yet?" she asked, sounding amused by something.

"Nope, not since the last time with the cows," Olivia responded, moving one piece.

She'd barely done so when the piece she'd just set down suddenly squirted slime at her, making the dark-skinned girl dive out of the way and narrowly miss getting a faceful of the stuff. "Never mind that, I think I jinxed it."

Cho regarded the chess set and her losing stance before shifting over to look at the girl currently on the kitchen floor. "Do you want to put this away and go figure out what mischief this Prank Master has been causing?"

"I think that would be a stellar idea."

Cleaning up the slime and the chessboards, the two girls left the room discussing what they thought had happened.

Cat-Eyes watched them go for a minute, leaning her cheek into her hand. "... I wonder if Lukas and Gommie know that I know that they're the ones who've been pranking everybody," she murmured casually.

She considered this for a moment. "Should I tell everyone else?"

There was a very long, pregnant pause as she watched the doorway in which Cho and Olivia had just retreated, considering her options.

"... nah."

A/N: Hahahaha xD these pranks are all brilliant...
