Third Floor Common Room, Tuesday morning

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was cooking breakfast and making a list. So far he had a remarkable array of eggs cooked in different styles, a loaf's worth of toast, far too many sausages, and a few boxes of cereal sitting out next to a gallon of milk.

You'd think he was cooking for more than himself. While he worked, a small black puppy scampered at his feet apparently trying to stab a paper ball with a pencil held in his teeth.

The list was for Mary Poppins, who had somehow thought that he'd volunteered as her Teacher's Assistant.

Walter Dornez - Hellpuppy
Rory Gilmore - Vampire puppy
Nadia Santos - Blue cat that disobeys the laws of physics
Alphonse Elric - Kitten (just a plain, normal, cute kitten... who knew?)
Veruca Cally - Lemming
Pip Bernadette - Psychotic cat
Ranma - Puppy
Alanna - Talking, intelligent, snarky cat
Pippi Longstocking - Spider Squirrel monkey
Pippi Longstocking - Horse
Blair Sandburg - Two goldfish
Angela Chase - Cat
River Tam - Berthold??
Belthazor and Phoebe Halliwell - Two cats
Samuel Anders - Goldfish
Bridge Carson - Robot dog

He knew there had to be more than that. He'd keep working on it.

[ooc: Help Walter with his list? Help me with the list. The food's for anyone.]

"Um, I don't have any plans, no," Alphonse said blankly. "I just woke up."

[forgottenpants]

Pete leaned over to spit. "But you might, later?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse made a slight face. "Possibly? I can't really say until I actually plan anything with others."

[forgottenpants]

"Well, you be sure to call on Pete Hutter if you do."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Ahh... We'll see," Alphonse said a little awkwardly. "So, you're new?"

[forgottenpants]

"As opposed to bein' old? Yes. I am."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I'm probably not the only one to say 'welcome to Fandom', then," Alphonse said. "I'm Alphonse."

[forgottenpants]

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. But, no, no one has said that to me as of yet."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Well, then welcome to Fandom. Hopefully things are working out well for you?"

[forgottenpants]

"I can make the 'telephone' play 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. But then the spotted thing tells me to stop 'calling'."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Ah, usually when you push buttons on the telephone, it rings up on someone else's phone."

[forgottenpants]

"So that's what that does! I guess I shouldn't try 'Three Blind Mice' then, should I."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Probably not a good idea, unless you want to end up bothering a lot of others. It's used as a communication device."

[forgottenpants]

"What, like a telegraph?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sort of like that. Except you can directly talk to someone on the other side, no matter how far they are."

[forgottenpants]

"That is a mite more convenient than smoke signals, I suppose."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Smoke signals? Where do you come from that you use something like that?"

[forgottenpants]

"I'm from 1894, the western frontier. You got somethin' against that?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"No, no, not at all," Alphonse said quickly. "No one I know ever mentioned having to use smoke signals though. They never stroke me as very helpful."

[forgottenpants]

"It's all in how you wave your blanket."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I've never had to do it, so I can't say I know how it works right. But you won't have to use them here."
