[Waking up surrounded by books was strange. Glancing over to see one of the ghosts - now pink with orange spots, apparently - tossing his things around the room like some crazy redecorating manic was stranger, and just the slightest bit annoying.

But what really threw Rookie out of synch was when he noticed the variety of floating chocolate-shaped animals (in all shapes and sizes) causing a ruckus in his kitchen and the corner of his living room seemingly dedicated to just singing flowers. All of which were very out of tune, and far less friendly considering the rows of teeth most of them had, so it wasn't very long before he was scrambling for his door.

Only to have his journal smack him rather mercilessly in the back of his head the second he stepped outside.] Ow!

[There's the sound of him turning around, and then a good long span of silence before:]

... The hell is going on here?

(ooc: Open as always, and back from the abyss that is no internet. Also he's going to have this thing following him around until the event is over. Think Carpet, but if it was a pseudo attention-seeking child who also likes to throw things. :D)

Insanity. That's going on.

[helljumper]

I gathered as much.

[He's slowly backing away from his room now, given his footsteps, but there's also the sounds of cloth moving across the floor and a mumbled 'beat it, shoo' from him.]

This some sort of weird holiday I don't know about?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

It's the 29th of February. Not a holiday.

Just a leap year this year.

[encryptedlock]

I think the castle broke.

[helljumper]

Would explain why my room is suddenly a circus.

[And why his shirt is having a tantrum of sorts and throwing another book his way. Which only made him duck to the side as it hit the wall somewhat loudly behind him.]

Has this ever happened before?

[helljumper]

[Sighs.] I suppose it would have been too much to ask for this to make sense.

[noblefive]

...You okay?

[encryptedlock]

Not exactly like this, no, but in smaller versions.

Things might be less crazy in town, if you want to get away?

[helljumper]

Yes, sir. I'm fine. [Then, added in a little more sarcastically.] Sanity aside.

[helljumper]

[And that next book sent hurling his way, is getting caught before he's throwing it right back.]

Eventually, maybe. For now, think I'll just take a walk.

[encryptedlock]

Good luck, man. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere or anything.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Way too much.

[helljumper]

[Well, that certainly didn't sound ominous.] ... Stuck?

[helljumper]

You'd think I'd learn by now. [There's another mumbled, far more animated 'get off' before he continues.] Take it the whole castle is like this, too?

[encryptedlock]

...Yeah, I was staticked to the ceiling for about an hour.

[helljumper]

So not only a circus but a fun house too. Great.

[noblefive]

Tell me about it. I just had to free myself from a pile of wrestling manuals that decided to enact their subject matter.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I had a kitten come out of my showerhead.

[helljumper]

... I suppose I should steer clear of the library then.

[Don't want anymore inanimate objects following him around, after all.]

[helljumper]

Taking that as a yes. [And he's chuckling, because the mental picture of that is something he can't help but find a tad entertaining.]

I imagine the cat wasn't very pleased.

[noblefive]

Would be a good plan of action. Naomi's coming to get me, and I'm going to help her get BB back.

[A pause] You like your Pterodactyl fried or Barbequed?

[encryptedlock]

Could be zombies attacking?

[helljumper]

Sounds like you have your hands full.

[And he would have asked back from what, but that last question kind of answered it.]

I, uh. [...] You know what, surprise me.

[helljumper]

[A laugh.] I suppose that would be worse.

Might have ended up jinxing us, though.

[encryptedlock]

Nah, see, that's already happened before. It likes not to repeat itself here, you know.
