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 wanders in, having decided to poll his friends about any odd new abilities.

"Hi. You're looking far too studious for a Friday night."

[ooc: I picked up Midsummer's Night Dream comic book today! ]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looks up from her script and seems to be about to say something.

But then her eyes get wide and she gasps.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter spun around looking for some sneaking danger that would make Pippi look like that, but there was nothing. He turned back around and looked at Pippi to make sure she wasn't choking or having a seizure or something equally not good.

"What's wrong?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

She makes another sharp intake of breath...

"Ah..."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Pippi?" Walter came a little closer and looked at her with concern.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved her hand at Walter and turned her head away.

"Ah..."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"What? Do you need some help?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"AHCOOOOOOOO!"

There was a sudden gust of "wind" as Pippi sneezed... Several pencils embedded themselves an inch deep into the opposite wall.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter's eyes widened. But this was Pippi - he wasn't sure this actually counted as an odd new power, or was just part of the usual Pippi experience.

"Bless you." He went and eyed the pencils where they were stuck in the wall, but the fact that they were a bit... wet dissuaded him from trying to pull them out.

"Was that a normal sneeze?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

*sniff*

*shrug*

"I guess. My nose has been itching something awful today."

She saw the pencils in the wall. "Hey! I've been looking for those!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"They're all yours," Walter said, flopping down in a chair.

"Odd day. Do you know anyone who has been showing weird new powers? It seems to be going around like a flu."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi went up to the pencils and peered at them.

"Yeah. Everything Pip touches becomes covered in glitter... His hair sparkles and is mesmerizing..."

She pulled out a red hanky and wiped them off, then pulled them out of the wall.

"I was doing some homework and they just... Disappeared. It was odd."

She blew her nose dryly into the hanky.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"The sparkles did?" Walter took his rings off and tucked them in his waistcoat pocket before leaning over to grab a trashcan and put it on the floor in front of himself.

"I wish the spaghetti would. I had to clean it up in my room." Walter then flicked his fingers as though he were trying to cut the bottom out of the can. Instead, unsurprisingly, streams of spaghetti flew out of his fingers into a lump in the bottom of the can.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi stops mid-blow and blinks.

"Okay... So... We won't have to eat in the caf for a while?"

*sniff*

*thwip!*

Suddenly? The red hanky was gone.

Pippi looked down at her now empty hands. Then down at the floor through her two now empty hands. Then up at the ceiling.

"... Ah rats! That was my favorite hanky!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter blinked.

"Um... now that I'm thinking about it... where were those pencils before you sneezed?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I don't know." she said.

"Suddenly, the pencil I was using was gone. So I picked up another, then that one was gone..."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Huh." Walter shook his head and began flicking his fingers at the wastebasket, trying to turn off his sudden spaghetti flinging powers.

All that came of it was a full wastebasket.

Pippi's problem couldn't be what he was thinking, could it?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looked over Walter's shoulder into the wastebasket.

"Smells good. Not sure I'd want to eat it out of a trashcan..."

*sniff*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I wonder if I can control it enough to get other kinds of pasta," Walter muttered as he debated what to do with all the spaghetti he'd just created.

He looked up at the sniff, wondering if he was going to need to dodge another of her explosive sneezes.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi rubbed her nose with the back of her hand.

"Even if you can't, you could theoretically end world hunger... Doing this doesn't make you tired does it? Do you feel like you're using anything up making all that?"

[[ooc: Heee! Walter is a Pastamancer (http://www3.kingdomofloathing.com/login.php)!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked down at the wastebasket. "I could make the world fat and unhealthy, at least. I haven't been able to do it for long, but so far it hasn't made me tired."

He grimaced at one thing he'd tried, though. "Wearing gloves doesn't turn the power off, either."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pip was going to try gloves... Not sure if it worked for him." she said scratching at her tummy.

And as she did so, she pulled the red hanky from under her shirt.

"Hey! Here it is!"

*sniff*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

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*
