Peter had his St. George's cross flag close by as he waited impatiently for the match to begin.  England vs. Ecuador with continued participation in the World Cup at stake.

He had run down to J, GOB ostensibly to get some pastries to share for breakfast but really because he couldn't sit still any longer so there was a selection of muffins and doughnuts on one of the tables.

Now for the football to start...


[OOC:  Open to all!  Come cheer for England!  Or Ecuador if you must]

Pippi watched as a shot by Equidor bounced off the cross guard of the goal.

"Yeah, and the English golie can totally relax, because the cross guard has been doing his job for him."

"Which player's the cross guard?" Willow asked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The cross guard is the top of the goal net holder thingy." Pippi said pointing. "More goals on England have been stopped by bouncing off the top of the frame then by the actual golie."

"Oooh," Willow said. "Gotcha. You know one of these days I'll remember to bring a notebook with me so I can write all this down."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I bet there's some good books about it in the liberary!" she said. "Oh, did you ever get to become a liberary wench?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Not yet," Willow said, pouting. "As far as I know they're not hiring. But I'll still try the bribes when they do!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh! Your icon is adorable and makes me feel so sad!

"Oh sucky!" she said, "But yeah! Bribes! Chocolate is good, or anything yummy. Mr. Wagner the librarian is very nice, I don't know if you'll need bribes for him... Or what is a good bribe if ya do..."

"I haven't met him yet," Willow said. "Mostly when I go to the library it's Rory there. But she and I get along pretty well. Oh! And the other day I met her puppy who is the cutest thing ever!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Isn't he?" she said, "He does tricks, did he show you his tricks?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"He did flying and chasing a ball," Willow said. She looked proud. "I helped. With the ball part. The flying was all him."

"Don't tell anybody I said this," Pippi said quietly as she leaned in close to Willow. "But Vladdie is seriously the cutest animal in the building."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded. "Did you see his little tongue? It's all pink and small!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I know! I like his perky ears! They're all..."

Pippi held her hands up to her head to mimic Vladdies ears. She tilts her head this way and that as she twitches her hands.

"I should amend that..." Pippi said, still holding up her hands in the 'Vladdie Ears' gesture. "He's the cutest thing in the building when somebody isn't transformed into an animal... Because they tend to be quite delightful when that happens."

"Bridge was kind of cute as a ferret," Willow said. "I gave him some junk food, which fortunately did not kill him. I don't know if regular ferrets can eat that."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi shrugged. "Maybe. I know when Pip was a gosling we gave him some fried fish sticks, which I thought may at least upset his tummy. But he seemed fine... The beer didn't seem to bother him either."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Some ducks eat fish, right?" Willow said. "So fish sticks would probably be okay. Duck sticks, on the other hand, would be a little gross."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You do have a point there." she said, "But it was more that it was fried rather then it being fish that caused me concern."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Good point," Willow said, grinning. "I don't there's many fried fish in the wild."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"At least, none that I know of." she said nodding and grinning back.

"Though if ever there would be, I suspect Fandom would be the place," Willow said. "Well, Fandom or a pond by a nuclear reactor."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I don't think the breading would taste very good in that case..."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Good point," Willow said, making a face. "Also? Soggy."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"And glowy."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"You could probably watch them go down into your stomach as you ate them," Willow said. "Which could be both fascinating, and creepy."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Only if your body was transparent... Which would be possible under the circumstances."
