When: October 18th

[Sometime during the wee hours of the morning, this anonymous--and somewhat embarrassing--message appears on the network:]

can anyone tell me how to remove permanent marker from someone's face?

[That's it. That's the message. Clearly, some prankster's had a little fun with someone playing Sleeping Beauty somewhere.]

[action]

[For crewmates on and visitors to the Three Twins, Jon can be found--with or without dicks and krakens drawn on his face--working on the engine. He doesn't seem to be very happy right now, in fact he seems even grumpier than usual, seeing as he fell asleep for more than a week or so. In fact, his mood is dark enough that you'll probably be waking up to the sound of ~~My Chemical Romance~~ Your Biological Romance wailing in the distance for a good few minutes or so.

Whoops.]

[ You can't hear him, but he's laughing--and he's awake when this is posted and can guess well enough who it is. This is his favorite thing ever. ]

Have you forgotten what the word permanent means?

[He has a pretty good idea who this is. So good, in fact, that he seriously considers marching over to the Paisley and throwing his device at Greyjoy to make himself feel better.]

was I asking you? [If this was a verbal conversation, this would be dripping with sarcasm.]

[ People are still sleeping on the Paisley, and he's struggling to keep from howling with laughter. This is his design. ]

You asked if anyone could tell you. I'm someone and I've told you.

perhaps I should've specified "someone who can help", then.

and I don't recall asking for your help. [Greyjoy.]

Perhaps. Or more importantly, perhaps you should have taken the precautions to prevent this from happening in the first place.

[ He's so pleased with himself right now. ]

you've had your jape, but it won't happen again, you can be assured of that. I know better than to let my guard down now.

[Which would be an ominous threat, in any other context.]

[ "Ominous" is not exactly a word that Theon would use when describing Jon in any way whatsoever. His preferred descriptors are just a bit cruder than that. ]

You're just now learning not to let your guard down? Who did you pay off to become Lord Commander anyway, Snow?

[ Guys why are you even anonymous right now? ]

[--well, he won't even bother with the pretense anymore, if they're just going to call each other by name anyway. Way to defeat the point of anonymity, you guys! Gosh.]

you're assuming I wanted to be Lord Commander in the first place. [Which is as close to an outright admission that he didn't even want the job in the first place as he's ever going to get.] you're a fine example of your house, aren't you?

[Considering how long Theon spent in the North: low blow, Snow.]

If you think me a poor example of my house, then congratulations, you and my father have something in common.

[ Well...that's out there. It's sent and he can't take it back now. ]

If you didn't want to be Lord Commander, I can only assume you've made for a terrible Lord Commander.

[Shinji is wide awake right now, which isn't at all unusual for him. So:]

I have a few suggestions, but I don't know how effective they'll be...

it wouldn't hurt to try, though. what did you have?

Rubbing alcohol. There's probably some in the med bay of your ship if you want to try that out. If you don't have a med bay then I can lend you some from mine.

we've a medbay, I can find some there. the trick is avoiding everyone else on the ship. [At least they're all asleep. Hopefully.]

Soap should be helpful enough, assuming you haven't tried that.

[Though the word 'permanent' sounds exactly that - permanent. She has no idea how he's going to manage getting it off.]

I have. it hasn't worked as well as I'd like.

Who would do something like that to begin with? It seems childish if you ask me.

Haha. Oh no.

Anything with alcohol in it will do the trick. If you can't find or don't want to waste drinking alcohol, rubbing alcohol or alcohol-based antiseptics will work just fine. If you have a lab on your ship, look there.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

aye, there's a lab. I just hope our healer hasn't woken yet, I don't want to explain how I ended up with [cartoon dicks and krakens] some rather embarrassing marks on my face.

has this happened to you before?

It's a common childhood prank. Most younglings in the Temple grow out of it by adolescence.

then they've more sense than the man that I'm certain was responsible.

[Looking at you, Theon Greyjoy.]

by "most", I take it there were some who didn't leave it behind.

There are always a few late bloomers in every generation.

some later than most.

[Still looking at you, Greyjoy.]

what about you? did you ever play a jape such as this on someone? [He's honestly curious now, and at the very least it'd serve as a distraction from ~~the baby fight~~ arguing with a certain anon.]

Maybe once or twice. Usually I was the one getting pranked.
