5th Floor Common Room - Sunday evening.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi had come back from her trip into town with Molly to discover a bunch of holes in the wall, including one in Proty's eye.

Poor Protty!

So she flounced back into town to get a few supplies and was now patching the holes in the wall and painting over them.

She started with Proty's eye. Which she patched and then painted an eye-patch over it.

Then she added a goatee, a magnificent hat, and a hook on the end of one of his tentacles.

Meet Proty's cousin.

Obed.

She smiled at her handy work and got to work on the rest of the wall.

Anders wandered up to the fifth floor with a dazed, mildly disturbed expression on his face. It was the look of Trying To Not Let My Brain Break Into Subatomic Particles, and in fact he hadn't quite processed his exact surroundings yet.

"Hi, Pippi," he said in a distant voice.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi turned to see who was talking to her, there was some paint on her nose.

"Hi! An....ders? What's wrong?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"My brain hurts," he said weakly. "Time travel . . . distance . . . difference . . . whatever, stuff. Whatcha doing?"

Demyx slinked into the common room and curled up in a corner with his music paper. Maybe they wouldn't notice him.

"Oh I'm sorry." Pippi said tilting her head at him. "I understand that can be a real mind fucker. I was just fixing some damage to the wall and re-painting some bits. But I can come back to that later... Do you want some fizzy lemonade?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right.

"Hi Demyx oooor... What ever your new name is... I forget. I didn't have it memorized. Did you find who you were looking for?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that'd be good. Can I help with the wall? It might distract me." Anders rubbed at the back of his neck. "Nine frakking years . . ."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

Demyx looked up at her nervously, curling his fingers tighter around his pen. "Um...what? I was looking for someone?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing!" she said fishing two bottles out of the fridge. "Do you spackle?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Anders said to the guy he'd met yesterday. "You're the guy who was looking for Demyx yesterday, right?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"No, but I can. Just give me some spackle and a putty knife, and oh my Lords, what happened in here?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Ya." she nodded as she painted a gold loop on Obed's ear... Or where the ear would be if he had an ear.

"Last night. You said you were looking for somebody that looks like Greg. So I told you where I last saw Greg, but he wasn't there... Don't you remember?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I dunno. They're just some little holes... But there sure are a lot of them... I figured I'd spackle them up before somebody got detention."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Noo..." Demyx said slowly. Then carefully set his pen down and facepalmed. "Nadia bit me yesterday at the game."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"I am Demyx," Demyx replied, giving Anders a strange look.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"... Was she... Hungry? Were you... Covered in hot sauce?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I'm a big fan of avoiding detention. I'll totally help," Anders replied.

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"She was all dressed up like a gremlin. The mascot, you know? And then she bit me!" He shook his head. "Next thing I knew, it was nighttime and I was wandering around outside."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"But . . ." Anders frowned. His brain was already confused enough without this. "You said yesterday that really cool jacket you were wearing belonged to Demyx and you were trying to find him!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yay!" Pippi said handing over the jar of spackle and a scraper.

"So how was your trip home?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes, I know she's the mascot... I missed most of a game... There was a mouse. I had to follow it... It's complicated." she said.

"So she took off the mascot head and bit you?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"No. She kept it on. She just...bit me. The Gremlin mascot bit me."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"I don't remember yesterday!" Demyx replied, trying desperately not to flail. "I only remember up to the part of the basketball game where Nadia bit me, and then I was suddenly outside at night in my Organization jacket."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh..." Pippi said.

She mulled that over.

"Somehow... That seems worse then her taking the head off to bite you doesn't it?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thankfully, short." Anders got to work on some of the holes higher up in the wall. "Very short, and oh my Lords, I could have run into Cally there when I was at the park and never have known it because . . . because . . . nine frakking years!"
