Second Floor Common Room

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory toddled out to the common room with LWB III, Holly, and several other dolls and stuffed toys with her. She also had a soft pink blankie.

She plopped onto the floor approximately a foot from the television, and began to watch Itchy and Scratchy, intermittently giggling around her thumb, which was firmly lodged in her mouth.


[ooc: So, Rory was bitten by a gremlin earlier. She now thinks she's about three or four years old. She still looks like she's seventeen, though, in spite of the icon. Also, she'll recognize people, but only if you're someone she knows pretty well. And don't expect her to process a whole lot. Rory was a very precocious toddler, but there's a limit, really.]

"Without me?" he says, absolutely not pouting even a little.

"You weren't here! An' it was just me 'n my dollies, anyway. And shhh. You'll wake Holly up," Rory said, pressing a finger to her lips in a hushing motion. "She's tired from the tea party."

"Oooh, okay. Can I come next time, though?" he asks.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah! Do you have any dollies to bring?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"No," Bridge says, and pouts a little. "I have a robot dog. Does he count?"

Rory considered this thoughtfully.

"Only if he can play with my puppy," she finally agreed.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"He can!" Bridge says. "He played with Vladdie the other day, actually. And the pink bunny dude."

"I like bunnies!" Rory said enthusiastically. "I can't wait for Easter an' the Easter bunny. Santa brought me cool stuff. Did you get anything from Santa?"

"Not... exactly." Bridge blinks. He is pretty sure he's mentioned the whole "Jewish" thing to Rory before.

Rory looked very sad for Bridgey. "Were you bad?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nope. At least I don't think I was. I just celebrate a different holiday instead of Christmas, remember?" Bridge wonders if maybe whatever made her think she was little also made Rory forget some stuff.

"Oh yeah!" Rory said. "But that means no Santa?"

She looked absolutely devastated by this concept.

"No Santa! But...Hanukkah is eight days long instead of just one," he winks at Rory.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Ooh." Rory pondered this. "I wanna have Hah - Hanoo - that thing too!"

Bridge grins. "Actually...that's why *I* wanted pancakes too, see. Because my mom makes special pancakes during Hanukkah called latkes. Except I'm really not that good at making them by myself," he makes a face.
