Bobby was dealing with class stuff. Yes it is Sunday, but there were students who needed a lot of help and so a study session was organized. They were sitting and working on their assignments as Bobby went to sit down in his chair. As he does, something in his pocket pokes at him. Curiously, he reaches in and pulls out a little folded origami crane. Curious indeed. And it's been folded out of... tinfoil?

One of the students interrupts any more thought about it, asking a question. Bobby goes over to help with the question. Afterwards he goes back to his desk to pull out a pen to make a note, and finds a tinfoil origami crane inside his central desk drawer. Checking his other drawers, there's a similar crane in each desk drawer. Wait, if there was one in his pocket... sure enough, the other front pocket has a crane. As do both back pockets.

"Someone ban studying on Sundays." Bobby is muttering as he is working at his desk. "Especially when the following Monday is a holiday. As he reaches into his pocket and feels the crunch of metal, he pulls out the small metallic foil creature and looks at it in confusion. "Huh. Must be leftover." he murmurs. Clearly he had more than enough metal from that whole EPIC prank pulled on Kitty.

Then he's at his desk, opening the drawer. And there's another crane. He looks around slowly. Where did that one come from? He takes it out and tosses it away. Just to open another drawer. And there's another one. "What the." he mutters.

Deciding he needs a drink to try to figure this all out, he heads into the teacher's lounge. And then as he opens his wallet - there's yet another foil crane there. Right where he used to keep /something/ else.

Looking up at the cieling in the general direction of the teacher rooms, he gives a cry. "KATHERINE PRYDE! THIS IS A WAR YOU SHALL NOT WIN!"

Kitty Pryde hears a shout that includes her name as she sits with Lockheed, sipping from a cup of coffee. She breaks out laughing and leans her head over against Lockheed's. "Wait until he gets back to his room," she tells the dragon. Lockheed just shakes his head, though appearing in good spirits as he rests his head back down on her shoulder, curled up about Kitty's neck.

Kitty sits, watching the doorway, keeping a mild expression on her face as if nothing is up and she has no idea what the shout is about.

Iceman has posed:
Storming up to his room, Bobby was ready to plot revenge. Until he finds himself in his room. And finding yet more cranes. More foil. Oh. He knows the foil. He put it in Kitty's room in the first place. So this is how she wants to play it.

He can see the woman across the hall. And no, he's not going to give her that satisfaction. That joy of victory. No. This is just an escalation. Yes. She has wagged at the bull. Now she will get the horns. Yesss.

Lifting up two fingers, he points at his eyes, then he points at Kitty. Then he shuts his door.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde stomps her heels on the bed in victory, nearly dislodging poor Lockheed as she lets out a soft laugh. "So worth every second," she says of the folding. Well, there might have been help, at that. Kitty keeps sipping her coffee silently, smiling and wondering just how to broach the subject to Pixie. How do you ask someone to stuff her bra with origami cranes, especially if you're not actually sure the boyfriend is even getting into said bra yet? Yes, a delicate matter for consideration.

Iceman has posed:
There's a chuff of breath as Bobby makes a little ice prick and pierces one of the cranes. Then he opens the drawers of his desk.

More cranes.

Pushing them out of the way, he roots around and pulls out a dogearred notebook. And then he opens it. Starting to flip through the pages, he looks at all the various pranks he's come up with over the years. "Freezing all of her underwear solid is too basic. No. She deserves much much better."
