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.]

((ooc: Does Berthold count?))

[ooc: I'd think so, but I don't think he's met Berthold.]

Tyler wandered into the common room, not looking like he'd slept much. He took several sausages. "Hey, Walter. You made all this?"

[OOC: Will be slow for a while.]\

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up from his list and nodded. "Hey, Tyler. Yeah. I haven't cooked in a while and I thought the new people might get sick of Quik Stop burritos."

[ooc: No problem.]

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Don't knock the microwave burrito," Tyler said, almost seriously. "But thanks for feeding us. It's appreciated."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

((ooc: Aww. River hasn't mentioned him?))

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Walter said with a smile. "How have you been? I haven't seen you in a while."

Meanwhile, Pup wandered over to sniff Tyler's ankles.

[ooc: I think she's mentioned him and I know he's been mentioned on radio, but he's not sure if Berthold is real yet.]

"Other than my roommate getting sent to the clinic by some jerk's idea of a prank? Could be worse," Tyler said. "I haven't been all that social lately."

He reached down to scratch Pup's head. "This your dog?," he asked, clearly a little bothered by the extra, red eyes.

Apparently Anders had that free-food instinct, as he wandered up a floor with his yo-yo in hand. Maybe it was appropriate, however unwittingly, that he was trying to get the hang of a trick called the Double Gerbil possibly dirty and making a pretty big mess of it.

"Hey, Walter," he said a bit distractedly. "Hiya, Pup."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Prank?" Walter frowned, thinking of last week's so-called pranks. "This wasn't Jamie's doing, was it?"

Pup licked Tyler's hand and wagged hard enough to send his rear end sliding on the modded because I don't know the surface tile.

"And yeah, that's Pup. He's well-trained, so the only thing you have to worry about is the face licking."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter cocked his head at Anders and watched him play with his yo-yo not dirty. "Hey. Are you trying a yo-yo trick or trying to figure out how people once hunted with those?"

It was definitely the free food instinct that sent Peter down to the third floor. Quite possibly combined with the English free food instinct. "Good morning, Walter. How do you do?"

[[OOC: Phoebe and Cole have the two kittens who may be angelic or demonic or one of each. :)]]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Eh, just trying out a trick," Anders replied, though his expression hinted otherwise. "Whatcha up to? Trying to lure in unsuspecting newbies with food?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, Peter. I'm well." He waved toward the tea cozy. "Tea there for someone who can properly appreciate it. How are things for you?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Oh yes. Although Walter's never encountered them, so I'll have to get someone to tell him about them.]

Upstairs smelled like breakfast. Or at least it did when Stark was close enough to the stairs to smell it. Naturally he had to find the source of the breakfasty smell.

"Hello, Walter. What did you make today?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged and grinned a little at Anders' attempts. Things on string? Totally Walter's sorta thing. "Not many of the kids here can cook and new kids might miss real food, so I thought I'd make a big breakfast."

Pup trotted over and started to jump up and down, chasing after the yo-yo.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up from his paper and smiled. "Good morning, Stark. Just eggs, sausage, and toast." He pointed to the tea cozy. "And tea. How are you?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You're brilliant. Really you are," Peter replied as he poured himself a cup of tea. "Thank you very much." He shrugged. "Enjoying meeting the new people - of whom there seem to be at least a few from our mother country."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded his head at the compliment. Of course he was.

"I thought I heard some familiar accents." He tapped his pencil on his paper. "The new Creature Languages teacher is one. Sort of a peculiar sort, too."

[stykera]

"I'm...I'm well. But hungry now," Stark said, returning the smile. "And you?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a menace," Tyler said. "Might put someone's eye out, with the wagging."

His face turned serious. "And yes, Jamie, according to Pip. Is Nadia okay?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Can some of the not-so-new kids mooch a little bit, too?" Anders grinned down at Pup and abandoned the Double Gerbil in favor of a slightly less complicated lariat trick that he'd mostly gotten the hang of, for the hellpuppy's amusement.
