Room 417, Friday evening

[fates_jaye]

Jaye's busy doing absolutely nothing, staring at the computer and wondering exactly how many spambots had her E-mail address now and why they kept trying to give her Viagara and lesbian porn. Apparently they don't really care who they're advertising to, as long as they're advertising.

The gremlin had taken a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the vent that led to Jaye's room. He peered out and, upon spotting Jaye, was about to turn around and leave when he spotted it. Halting mid turn, his mouth fell open at what he had just seen.

The brass monkey. It was so shiny. The light glinted off it's surfaces in a most delightful way. It also resembled a gremlin slightly. He had to take a closer look.

Quietly, the gremlin opened the vent and snuck into Jaye's room. Watching her back, he carefully stole across the room to where the monkey sat in all it's sparkly glory. He slowly climbed up to where it sat and gazed upon it admirably.

With another quick look at Jaye's back, he picked it up and attempted to climb back down to the floor with it. The brass monkey was too heavy, however, and he ended up dropping it onto the floor with a loud thunk.

*thunk*

Jaye turns around at the sound, standing from her chair. "Hey! There's no stealing of the monkey! Monkey's mine!"

Technically the monkey was her ex-therapist's, but hey, possession's nine-tenths of the blah blah blah.

The gremlin jumped down to the floor and stood over the monkey, glaring at Jaye. He hissed at her, then attempted to pick it up again and still maintain eye contact. Possession was indeed nine-tenths of the blah blah blah and he was currently in possession of the monkey with no intention of giving it back.

"Look," Jaye says, bending down as much as she can without falling over to be at least somewhere near eye level, "that? Is mine. Not yours, you little creep. Mine. I stole it fair and square!"

She stays in a standoff with the gremlin for a minute, then dives for the monkey.

This gremlin wasn't giving any ground. As soon as Jaye's hand came within range, he lunged out and bit her on the wrist.

[fates_jaye]

"Ow! Son of a..." Jaye stands up, rubbing her wrist.

Well, hell, she's already bitten, might as well get physical. Hopefully more bites don't mean more screaming naked down the halls or more Jaye the Vampire whatever. Oh, God, she'd better not end up doing naked karaoke...

She kicks the gremlin.

Still guarding the brass monkey, the gremlin doesn't even try to dodge the kick. He ends up hitting the wall with his head and tumbles lifelessly to the floor.

Jaye feels slightly bad about it. Then remembers the possible naked karaoke and feels less bad.

She looks at the monkey. "You see what I do for you?"
