Day 18 in the Big Brother Mansion~ The day of surprises.
8:10AM
Logan has been up all night with Big Brother discussing the most effective way to get evicted from the mansion as he has become 'disenchanted with the mansion's female talent, or lack of it' . He is now sleeping on the sofa, snoring loudly having decided the best way to get voted out is to be as boring as possible.
In the guy's bedroom Remy is weeping softly, moaning "Roguey" periodically, as Victor looks on sadly while sharpening the kitchen knives.
Bobby and Hank decided last night that it would be in their better interests if they were to sleep in the girl's bedroom due to the weeping and snoring, unfortunately they fell out for a while over who would be sleeping in Rogue's bed, luckily this dispute was soon resolved with talk of Ororo's bed being haunted by her ghost. The pair are currently huddled together in the corner out of fright.
Outside the mansion
"Hello!"
A chirpy voice floats to the microphone before waiting for reciprocated salutations.
When it became obvious that no reply is forthcoming it continues "I'm here for the open day at the mansion."
A pair of vibrant blue eyes peer almost heavenward to meet the eyes of the person whom they are addressing. Once again however, the taller mutant makes no reply causing the girls eyes to narrow slightly in a frown.
"Do you actually speak?"
"Da"
"Look bouncer dude I want in. I mean I was in there before, well until I was voted out by the likes of you!" Jubilee angrily pokes her forefinger into Piotr's chest.
Piotr by now is becoming increasingly irritated by the annoying kid and her pink gum, which, incidentally, is seen to pop, as if on cue, in Piotr's face sticking to his eyebrows and gluing his eyelashes shut.
Seeing his colleague flounder around trying to locate the toilets Pete steps in to point him in the right direction…namely headfirst down a flight of stairs. Pete looks after his fallen comrade for a moment, his pity and misery masked by the smirk on his face as he puff's on his cigarette.
*Ack, Kaff, Ack* Jubilee wafts the smoke away from her face before bounding in front of Pete.
"Hi! I'm Jubilee and I am very pleased to meet you" She stick's her hand in front of her, Pete however, just looks at it one eyebrow cocked up.
"Can I go in already?" She beams at him in what she thinks is her most charming manner, but in fact resembles a dying fly.
"Get in queue kid" He jerks his thumb where a line is snaking around the mansion.
"But don't you know who I am?" She cries jauntily.
With this he unceremoniously throws her over his shoulder, as she kicks and screams, before dumping her at the back of the line.
"Damn you little man! Damn you!" She yells shaking her fist at Pete Wisdom's retreating back.
9:46AM
Logan having got bored of acting boring is thinking about taking desperate measures in a bid to get taken out of the house. Victor has also decided that his tactics need changing in order for him to win and, after witnessing Hanks popularity go from strength to strength, he has come to the conclusion he must act more intellectual. On top of this the first throng of visitors to the mansion have entered.
"Greetings and salutations young folk of the outside world" Victor greets them with a bow, before straightening his smoking jacket and taking another puff on his pipe.
Bobby elbows Remy in the ribs before whispering "Who died and made him Hank?"
Remy busies himself with the fruit bowl and does not reply.
"I think it's disgusting putting on an act just to win" Bobby gags.
"Remy agree, t'is pathetic" Remy nods in agreement before juggling several piece's of fruit and squealing "Look at Remy!"
Bobby purses his lips as he slouches lower on the kitchen stool, it is not long however, before Hank joins him.
"What, in the name of all that is holy, is Victor doing? He looks like an idiot, and sounds like he has swallowed a dictionary!"
Bobby looks at Hank sorrowfully for a moment. "He's being you Hank"
Hank look's shocked for a moment "Egad! Surely I do not appear that outrageously pompous and annoying…do I?"
In a misguided move Hank looks to Bobby for support, however the younger mutant nods his head. "Sure you do big guy"
"Why did you never inform me of this before?"
"I didn't wanna hurt your tender ego"
11:17AM
Victor plucks a flower from a nearby vase and cordially offers it to a visitor.
"Milady"
The woman giggles childishly "And I thought it was the blue furry one who was the charmer, I see my allegiance to him has been misplaced."
Victor grins toothily before exacting another swooping bow and kissing the 'lady fair's' (as he call's her) hand.
Over the other side of the room both Hank and Logan stand up in unison.
"That's it I've had enough!" Again they speak in unison however; they soon separate with Logan heading towards the fish tank and Hank stalking towards the hulking blonde mutant in the bright purple smoking jacket.
Hank pull's himself up so he is standing ram rod straight in all of his 5'11" glory. He taps tenaciously on Victor's shoulder, flashing a toothily grin before *thunk* he head butts him in the nose.
"Whatc'ya do that for runt?" He asks grabbing hold of his nose as a small trickle of blood seeps down to his upper lip before his healing factor has a chance to kick in.
"Call it a kind of warning to stop muscling in on my act" Hank say's trying to rub the bump, that is quickly forming on his head, inconspicuously.
"Well this is for actin' like a prat!" With that growled Victor dumps the contents of his pipe on Hanks head singeing his hair.
"Why you…" Suddenly the pair begin to brawl.
"What's gotten into you two?" A strangely familiar voice asks before bounding up to the pair and swotting at Victor "Bad Kitty don't make me get the cat nip"
"Good one petite" Remy smiles over at Jubilee as he tries to restrain an angry Hank.
Meanwhile…
Logan eyes the fish tank.
"It's such a shame it had ta turn out this way, it started off so promising too, with Raven peeling off her clothes and Jean scootin' over t' me. Even that Jubilee kid…" Logan sigh's before immersing his head in the water in an ill fated bid to commit suicide.
It is ill fated in the way that two thing's happen; the first one being that his stench from his refusal to shower kill's off the remaining goldfish that haven't starved since Ororo's 'disappearance, or been eaten by Victor and the second being…
"Hank! Logan's scaring the fish again!" Bobby seeing Hank in the heat of his scrap turns back to Logan for a second before adding "Don't worry he's just trying to commit suicide."
Bobby stand's whistling for a few moments before he realises what he has said and runs over to Logan kicking the chair, on which he is stood to reach the fish tank, out from under him.
"Awww look what you've done you monster!" Bobby scowl's "You've killed Ororo's only legacy, well other than the ghost"
"Look what I've done?" Logan glowers back "I weren't the one who went against a guy's dyin' wish to die in peace an' might I point out I didn't bring the fish tank to the floor while doin' it."
"Well that excuse is just not good enough for killing innocent beings" Bobby pouts.
12:56PM
Bobby has dug seven graves for the fallen goldfish and has invited all housemates (even Logan) and the guests to the house to the funeral.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today…"
The camera scans from Victor (who is conducting the service donning a blue body wig) to where Logan is dressed as Tinky Winky. If his revelations to Big Brother five minutes earlier are anything to go by he is trying to act insane in a bid to get transferred to the insane mansion around the corner. Unfortunately, as is often the case with Logan's hair brained schemes, it back fired; with Bobby turning up as Po announcing to those assembled that this is what the fish would have wanted.
"…an' now fer some word's from their friend and Protector Mr. Robert Drake"
With that Bobby walks up to the make shift podium under the shade of the Marshmallow tree, before clearing his throat. He then presses play on the small tape recorder he smuggled into the mansion and begins to sing.
"Tinky Winky! Dipsy! La la! PO!
Teletubbies, Teletubbies say hello…Eh oh!"
"Ave I mentioned how much Remy hate those t'ings?" Remy mutters into Hanks ears as Bobby continues to sing the Teletubbies, while bouncing up and down on the spot.
Unfortunately during his performance Victor leans against Hanks Twinkie tree, this does not sit to well with the hulking blue guy causing him to arise from his seat on the grass and yell "HANDS OFF BUB!"
There is a shock gasp from the audience and the song dies on Bobby's cherubic lips.
"THAT'S MY TWINKIE TREE! NOW STEP ASIDE!"
Victor makes no such move; instead he fiddles with his manacle and blue body wig. Well that is until Hank bites his foot and pulls his long blonde mane.
"Hank what's gotten into you today?" Jubilee yells from where she was sat enjoying Bobby's song.
"Leave it Jubes it's what they would have wanted" Bobby puts in almost tearfully.
"Who?"
"The fish, bless their little souls" He wipes away a tear slyly as Piotr Rasputin and Pete Wisdom wade in to break up the brawl.
1:08PM
"Hank what was you thinking? You could have guessed that a man his size wouldn't like having a body wax" Jubilee chastises him applying a tub of ice cream to his swollen eye.
"I didn't wax him, I just pulled off that stupid blue fur he had gathered from the plug and stuck on himself with gaffer tape." He replies huffily.
"Well even so it was still a stupid thing to do. Just because you're jealous at his making new friends and embracing his burgeoning intelligence"
"I can assure you it is no such thing, I am after all the real McCoy, he is just a cheap imitation, firstly of Logan and most recently of myself." Jubilee has struck a nerve. "I just seemed to get over taken in this almost Victor like animal rage."
"Well maybe you shouldn't act like him anymore, it only makes you as bad as him, and you come off worse." Jubilee advises sagely.
1:26PM
Logan, after having the crazy and suicide idea's back fire on him, has decided to go back to being uninteresting. He is currently looking out of the window, sipping a mug of coffee.
"Jubes I'm really worried about Logan, he acting so….boring after Rogue left. I think his having female withdrawal or something."
"Well why don't you try and liven him up a bit, you know help him come out of his depression."
At that moment Piotr comes through the front door with a fresh batch of guests, strangely there is a strawberry blonde girl, wearing a black plastic moustache and pirate like hook and bandana, perched on his shoulder. The funniest thing however, is the fact that Piotr seems to be unaware of this.
"Is that Kat?" Bobby asks with a squint.
Jubilee shrugs before wandering outside away from the potential fire hazard.
Bobby skips over to where Piotr is staring intensely at a pot plant.
"Hey" Bobby greets the metal mutant innocently.
Piotr merely nods before looking back at the plant, a cactus if his later reports prove correct.
"Erm did you know your hair is on fire?" Bobby asks him just as sweetly as before
Piotr glowers at him before moving on into the guy's bedroom however; as he walks in the door Kat gets knocked off of his shoulder by the doorframe.
"Ow! I didn't like that ride anyway…it was too bumpy." She sys before scuttling off on all fours like a crab.
Bobby follows her "Kat how can I make Logan interesting?"
"Jelly, when ever I eat jelly things get interesting" Kat says before Pete spots her and begins to chase her with a big net.
Bobby's eyes light up visibly as inspiration hits him.
2:03PM
Logan is still stood by the window when Bobby strikes, swiftly he shoves the jelly down Logan's trousers, hell maybe even down his underpants if he wears them.
"Ha Ha Logan's Mr Blobby!"
"Drake!" Logan, it seems, has finally come back to life as he chase's him around the room dodging several visitors.
"Look how his butt wobbles when he runs" Bobby is brave enough to shout as he flees for his life on an ice slide. "Wobble! WOBBLE!"
3:28PM
The stream of visitors to the mansion is now a mere trickle, with Jubilee still hanging on in there.
"Look Rems ya really need ta sort yerself out if you are ever ta get Rogue ta like ya" She cock's her head slightly to the side, trying to picture how to improve on Remy's rugged good looks.
"I've got an idea…"
5:47PM~Eviction time
Jubilee stops to admire her handy work with a beam of joy, Remy, plastered as he is with black eye liner, blue eye shadow, bright red blush and red lipstick, doesn't seem quite as happy.
"You look wonderful, that floral skirt sure brings out your eyes."
"Remy not so sure petite."
Yells of "Wobble wobble" are still heard in the background.
"Aw come on Rem its only coz it's a bit of a change from yer usual make up"
"Don't usually wear make up" Remy mumbles almost inaudibly.
"Housemates this is Big Brother would all visitors please leave the mansion."
Jubilee gets up to leave giving Remy a kiss on the cheek. Once she is safely out the way from potentially shocked and angered housemates Big Brother continues.
"The last housemate to be evicted from the big brotherhood mansion is…"
"They never said they were gonna evict today" Victor says both sounding and looking disgruntled.
"Remy's a woman!" Bobby points out much to the chagrin of Remy, while the other housemates break into hysterics and point at the beautified Remy.
"…Remy!"
"Yay!" Remy yells jumping out of his chair to punch the air before remembering he is wearing make up. "Oh Merde!"
Victor laugh's so much he coughs up a suspicious looking bone and one of Ororo's earrings.
11:39PM
Hank and Bobby are holding a paranormal investigation in the girl's bedroom.
"If there is anyone in here who would like to make their presence known to us, could you please show yourself?" Only Hank speaks but both are staring at Ororo's bed.
"Oh my God Hank look!" Bobby grips Hanks arm in a death vice grip, pointing to a strange light over Ororo's bed with his other hand.
"It looks kinda pretty"
They both gaze at it open mouthed before Hank makes a grab under the bed for the ouiji board, kept for just such occasions.
Together they make contact with the glass tumbler.
"Who is this?" Hank asks hoarsely.
The tumbler moves around the board with a grated noise to spell out 'Ororo and it is rude to point Robert'
"Told you she was haunting her bed"
"Shhh! Why are you here?"
Again the tumbler moved across the board. 'To revenge the godfish Harold and Margo.'
"Hank God fish what are godfish? Fish of God?"
"I think she means goldfish, she never could spell"
This time the tumbler only moves to two letters o and i…'Oi!'
"Don't anger her Hank, she's omni impotent"
"Omnipotent Bobby. Ororo what happened to you?"
'Sink'
"Sink she must have fallen down the plug hole."
"Bobby shut up"
With that the tumbler flies across the room and smashes into the wall behind Bobby's head.
"See I told you to shut up" Hank says getting up.
"Where are you going?"
"To look under the sink"
"You can't leave me here!"
"Why not? You scared?"
"Maybe…"
"Come with me then"
"Ok."
Together they make their way to the kitchen sink, they open the door and sure enough there is a pile of bones trapped underneath it, the door has scratches on it from where the person had tried to claw their way out. It's funny how the skeleton was wearing Jeans clothes though.
"She had good reason to be claustrophobic" Bobby says sagely "Hey what's this?"
He plucks a scrap of paper from the corpse "Hank read it, you know I don't like reading anything but 'The very hungry caterpillar'"
"It simply reads 'Having a nap'"
*Crash*
The noise is coming from the girl's bedroom, both look at each other and gulp; knowing that they have to sleep in there with the ghost for this one last terrifying night.
"She's gonna haunt us all night now you've disturbed her" Bobby moans "I hate women, they moan when they're alive, they moan when they're dead, they are never happy."
"Could be worse I suppose…" Hank ever the cockeyed optimist
"How?"
"Could be Trish, Opal or Jean haunting us"
"Point taken…let's go to bed then *yawn* I'm tired."
