Challenge: Rufus, Vincent, prom dress, and tape gun from Child of a Pineapple
It was quiet, Vincent thinks to himself as he walks down the hallway. His eyes dart from door to door, expecting Reno...or Zack to jump out with something stupid or in the process of being chased. It was never this quiet without something lying in wait, usually Reno would be screeching about something or Zack would be arguing with a potted plant...
Or Rufus lying in the middle of the floor in a prom dress. Vincent feels so relieved at the sight of something somewhat normal he doesn't even stop to consider the fact that Rufus crossdressing is not a normal thing, even in this part of the building. It's only when he takes a few steps past the unconscious man that he even begins to think that it just might possibly, no matter how unusual it might seem especially since he was in front of Reno's office, be odd.
But then he spots Reeve's favorite tape-gun in Rufus's lax hand and realizes that it wasn't as odd or as unusual as some people might think. Knowing Reeve as well as he did Rufus was lucky he was only drugged, dressed in a prom dress and laid out in front of Reno's office and not missing some vital limb.
Reeve, despite being the sanest man in employment (the company psychiatrist declared this before jumping from the sixtieth floor), was a vindictive little bitch.
On one hand, these are getting better and better, on the other? I can tell I was kind of losing interest in writing these, it started as an experiment to get more writing practice in and then spiraled out of control. I'm not exactly sure why it's my most popular fic, though it does deserve it.
Thanks to all for reading and reviewing, I very much appreciate it.
