Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

He lowers his hand. "Okay, my mom's hairdresser and it's not like he's seen me in a while so technically it would be Theoderic here in Fandom." He pauses. "I was joking."

"Then put an animal on your head."

Maybe this is her version of trying. Or she's getting back at him for yesterday. Maybe both.

"Yeah, I think I'll pass. They should have at least provided dipers or something," he replies.

Aeryn pauses. And pauses longer. And shakes her head.

"Hey, better to be safe than sorry." Cameron holds up his hands.

"How has your species survived this long?" she asks casually.

"Pure dumb luck," he grins.

She nods. "It's the only explanation."

"Yep, but at least we're trying and slowly learning?" For some reason he actually looks hopeful at her.

"Some of the individuals, maybe," she nods. "Though as a whole you probably only have a couple hundred cycles before you're invaded and used as food for a superior race."

"There's a cheerful thought," Cameron grinned. "There are always some good exceptions somewhere."

"Too bad the good exceptions are usually the first to go," she says, keeping an eye on the contest. "Easier to keep the others in line without their influence."

"Okay," he shakes his head. "I'm not going to stand here and let you be all pessimistic about humanity. Yes, we are big idiots but we've got chocolate and ice cream and Thundercats and cartoons and stuffed animals and I'm sure there's heaps of stuff to add to the list."

"Coffee," she agrees.

"See? And if you put an entire army on that stuff there's no way anyone's going to be able to invade because we'll be jumping up and down all over the place." Not that he drinks coffee.

Aeryn's back to shaking her head a lot.

"They'll rename the planet Jave," he says seriously. "Or Starbuck's once they manage to infiltrate the White House."

"Want me to shut up?" He asks helpfully.

"Put an animal on your head and we'll call it even."

Cameron frowned. "Why this sudden fascination with me having an animal on my head?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry. The doctor only allows me to carry around small dinosaurs on my head," he apologised, not looking too sorry.

"All right, now you need to shut up before my head explodes," she tells him. Not mad, just telling him.

Cameron mouths a 'sorry'. He's not allowed to talk after all.
