5th floor common room: [2/23] - evening

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Once again, Pippi is here with her script for Midsummer Night's Dream.

Dispite spending much of the day listening to the Ramones, she's still got songs by Butler Fetish stuck in her head...


It's Monkey Brain Soup!
In the Cantonese cuisine
It's quite popular.

Elsewhere? Not so much.
But most Cantonese people
Will go "Yum yum yum!"

Washington DC
Those cats, they don't eat much soup
Made from Monkey's Brain!

It's Monkey Brain Soup!
In the Cantonese cuisine
It's quite popular.

The taurine is full
Tender cubes of Monkey Brain
Floating placidly

Perfectly seasoned
Monkey Brain Soup is the best.
An exotic treat!

Walter turned around and looked at her quizzically. "Are you trying some amateur magician tricks? Because I've seen Gob work, and he might get jealous."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"... No. I just found it. It was just... There."

*sniff*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

That is so peculiar. Do you think it happens to anything you are holding on to? Pencils, your handkerchief... oh wait." Walter fished around in his pocket and pulled out the button (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a232/bellatemple/butlerbutton.gif) that he'd gotten at Empire the day before. "Hold on to this and see if it disappears."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi places the button in the palm of her hand and sits her looking down at it.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

While they waited, Walter set the full wastebasket aside and went to find another one. He was going to practice until he got this spaghetti thing under control, or until his fingers gave out, whichever game first.

"I wonder if I am pulling this stuff from some alternate plane filled with spaghetti? Because it's not coming from me. I think I would notice if I were losing body mass to turn it into pasta."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi giggled.

"Somewhere, there's a massively confused and angry Italian chef."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I am sort of hoping that somewhere around here there is someone who is spraying spaghetti sauce from their fingers." He stopped and thought about that before adding, "Not from anywhere else though, because that would be wrong."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Blech!" she said with a chuckle.

She looked down again at the button in her hand.

"... Do what unseen?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter waved a hand vaguely at her. "Everything? We are supposed to seamlessly make things happen while our masters are busy with other things like making the sort of money it takes to hire a proper butler, or saving the world, or both."

He smirked and returned to trying not to fill the new wastebasket with spaghetti - and failing.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded sagely to Walter's explanation.

She continued to watch him create pasta while holding the button in the palm of her hand.

"...Okay. That's really just odd."

*sniff*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"The pasta, or the fact that what you're holding isn't disappearing? Because everything has been odd today."

He was really failing at failing to make pasta.

Maybe he should fill someone's closet with it...

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The pasta really. I'm not so conserned with the fact that..."

There was a pause.

"Oh. No. It's gone."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up from the wastebasket and raised his eyebrows.

"Now that is odd. Is it hiding behind your ear or something like that?" Pippi really was going to make Gob jealous.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi felt behind her ears.

"Nope... Oh wait..."

Pippi pulled her hand away from her ear and did have the button.

"Yes."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"At least it wasn't in your nose? Because then I wouldn't want it back, and I rather like the button. You should try it with something larger..."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Heh... Yeah."

*sniff*

"Something larger? Like what?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shook his head, not sure he wanted to be responsible if he suggested the wastebasket and it ended up inside her torso or something.

"Your book?"
