Fifth Floor Common Room, morning

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip whistled merrily as he flipped a crepe over in his frying pan. He had managed to miss the announcements somehow. As far as he knew, today was going to be a wonderful day.

[[ooc: That she does]]

"Ooooh! Creepees!" she said flouncing in wearing the shirt she loaned Walter yesterday and her blue skirt.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Nice shirt," Pip said. "Want anything on your crepe?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." she said, "Um, whatever."

Pippi looked up at Pip. Wondering if she should tell him about what she found in her yearbook last night (http://strongestgirl.livejournal.com/36739.html?thread=251011#t251011). She wasn't really hungry, but he was making it so...

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Whatever it is. Excellent choice. In France, that's exactly what everyone has on their crepes."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi fiddled with her hair, pulling it out of her braids.

"Heh." she laughed weakly.

What will they do to him I wonder?

I don't want to think about that.

I can't help but think about it.

"In Sweden we have whatever with hotdogs."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Whatever with hotdogs is also delicious, and comes highly reccomended by the guy who puts those warning on cigarette packs that I ignore," Pip said, sliding the crepe onto a plate and bringing it to Pippi.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Tunnbrödsrulle is quite delightful." Pippi nodded. She smiled up at him as he set the plate down.

The Doctor probably wants to try something to do with his eye.

I don't want to think about that.

What will they do to Walter?

"So," she turned to her crepe. "Did you hear we'll be getting our clothes back?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Thank God," Pip said. "I'm already pushing the limits of how many times I can wear the same pairs of pants," he said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Heh, yeah." she said waving a bit of crepe around on her fork. "I'm glad it all finally got worked out."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"That's the administration for you," Pip said. "They work things out eventually. They just tick off the doors while they're at it."

[nadiathesaint]

"The doors are mad again?" Nadia asked as she wandered into the common room. She'd successfully managed to dry a pair of green slacks, and was still wearing Walter's shirt.

Because none of her shirts dried.

Yes.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so." Said Pippi getting up to get something to drink from the fridge.

"Good morning Nadia!"

[nadiathesaint]

"Happy birthday!" Nadia gave Pippi a smile.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" she said, "I'm sure it will be!"

Really?

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"What she said," Pip added as he started cooking up more crepes. "Hungry Nadia?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Such heartfelt sentiments warm the cockles of my heart." Pippi said emerging from the fridge with some OJ.

She kinda stood there and watched him make crepes for a moment.

[nadiathesaint]

"Sounds good." Nadia raised an eyebrow at Pippi. "So, what do you have planned for your birthday?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I was going to bake a big ol' cake."

She looked at the oven.

"Or maybe a whole lotta small cakes."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Cake is always good," Pip said, slipping the crepe into a plate and handing it to Nadia. "Can't go wrong with cake."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I suppose you could go wrong with cake," Walter said as he wandered into what was turning into his favorite common room.

"What if it explodes out of the oven and takes over the common room in a hot cakey mass?"

[nadiathesaint]

"We could eat our way out?" Nadia grinned.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Then there's cake everywhere," Pip said. "It's still cake. Should I assume you want breakfast too?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter grinned back at Nadia before nodding to Pip. "That would be brilliant, thanks."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Must be psychic," Pip said as he started on the new crepe.

[nadiathesaint]

"Obviously." Nadia agreed, digging into her crepe. "This is just what I wanted."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You should try it with 'whatever'. The whatever is wonderful today."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'll have some with whatever, then. Happy birthday, Pippi." Walter said, flopping down on the couch and putting his legs up. "Having someone else make me breakfast is almost always what I want at this time of morning on the last day of school when I am already done with finals. And whatever is key to that."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yes." Nadia plopped down on the couch as well. Not exactly right next to Walter, but probably close enough. "Becuase you have so much experience with that."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded, slid the crepe into a plate, put somewhatever on it, and held it out in front of him as he walked towards Walter.

Unfortunately, he slipped on some detergant that the washer had handwavingly placed out on the floor. Just because they were annoyed.


He started to fall backwards and hit the ground with a thump. Fortunately, he knew how to break his fall.

Still kinda hurt, though.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi rushed over to Pip, catching the falling plate and the crepe as they fell before kneeling next to him.

"Pip! Are you okay?"

Thank goodness the crepe is saved.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine," Pip said. "Ow. My knife wounds kinda hurt but I'll live. You got his food?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

*POOF*

Pippi's clothes were suddenly gone, revealing the only clean underthings she had left.

Her Bitterwoman adult sized underoos.

"Yeah, I got it are you okay?"

Does she notice the sudden draft?

Nope.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip blinked. Maybe winked, but if it was a wink it was unclear who he was winking at. "Yeah, I'm alright, but you might want to look down-"

*POOF*


Yeah. There's Pip. In his last pair of clean French-Flag boxers.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter sat up to see over the back of the couch. "No loss to life, limb or crepe, I hope?"

And then, poof, Pippi's clothes went away. That was all kinds of wrong when she wasn't 8 years old anymore.

And then Pip's.

Walter started to get very, very paranoid.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi did look down.

"They seem to be healing nicely."

One assumes she's talking about the knife wounds.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was staring at this whole thing, her eyes very wide.

Not because of the underwear. Or rather, not because of underwear in general.

Pippi's underwear in particular. . . .

"meep!"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip sighed and looked around. "Help?" he asked. "I'm too lazy to get up on my own."

[nadiathesaint]

There was no more meeping. Nadia couldn't have meeped if she wanted to.

So she just stared.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi was already there so she set Pip back on his feet.

"There you go." she said, "Is it cold in here?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Um... Pippi..." He sort of vaguely waved his hand at her in what he hoped was a hey, no clothes sort of way.

He was also reaching for a couch pillow for himself. Just in case.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip sighed. "I thought the problems with the laundry machines were over?"

[nadiathesaint]

*stares*

If Pippi says anything about being in training, Nadia is going to hide under her bed for the rest of the day.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes Walter?" she says.

"Oh yeah! Your breakfast!"

Pippi leaned over and offered Walter his crepe.

"I guess if I want to be a butler, I'd need training!"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia let out a faint, squeaking "ack" of a noise and turned to bolt from the room.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter took the crepe and watched Nadia run for it.

Maybe she went commando, too?

Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!
