Second Floor Common Room [Thursday Morning]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge was bored. So he'd dragged the telekinesis ball out of his room, since he hadn't practiced in a while, and sat down crosslegged on a couch in the common room to do so.

After a few minutes, he had the ball floating in a lazy circuit around the room.

"Hunting the... Tequila Cow?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded and adopted a serious, epic tone: "That devine bovine from who's very teat the golden liquor flows!"

[smartestone]

Hermione is never drinking. "That's... interesting. I haven't heard of it before."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, if it exists anywhere, it exists in Fandom. Though I think a friend of mine might have found it in Buenos Aires."

[smartestone]

"Really. Have you ever hunted the Tequila Cow?" That may be the weirdest thing she's ever asked someone.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blushed. "Um, yes. And the Vodka Goose and the Rum Chinchilla. I didn't have to hunt the Pot Llama, though. Alphonse gave it to me."

[smartestone]

"Um," says Hermione, who can't believe she's having this conversation. "Did you find anything you weren't given?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Nope."

[smartestone]

She's not sure what to say in response to that, so she sticks with, "Oh, I'm sorry."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, I only look for them when I'm drunk. So that might have something to do with it."

[smartestone]

"What do you think would happen if you tried looking while sober?" Hermione wonders. "Or would that be wrong?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I don't know. It's possible the universe would explode. Or more likely, I'd feel like an idiot since I'm pretty sure the Tequila Cow, the Vodka Goose, and the Rum Chinchilla don't actually exist."

[smartestone]

Hermione frowns again as she thinks too hard. "Where would you get vodka from a goose?" she asks.

[nadiathesaint]

"The eggs?"

[smartestone]

Hermione's still frowning. "That..." ...makes more sense than what she was suddenly thinking and definitely is not saying. "...makes as much sense as anything," she finishes.

[nadiathesaint]

And now Nadia wants an omlette. The butler boyfriend is never around when you need him. "The real question is, would you really want rum that comes from a chinchilla?"

[smartestone]

Hermione shakes her head. "Not particularly, no."

[nadiathesaint]

"For one thing, they're really small. So you'd get maybe one shot of rum. And that's no fun."
