Second floor common room: Saturday Bed Time

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

The second floor common room looked more like nap time at a pre-school than the coolest common room in the dorms. That would be because there were blankets, pillows, the cushions from the couches and some foam pads set out around the room, forming comfy nests for wee tiny people to curl up in and sleep.

Jack - who was still wearing his kitty ears and had whiskers drawn on his cheeks - was there to tuck Emma in, but he'd be happy to do the same for any wee tiny people who wanted to spend the night.

[ooc: open of course, for wee tinies and others!]

It wasn't a true day unless you'd done a good bit of running from the baddies, eaten a banana, and crawled through some ventilation shafts.

Currently, the Doctor was doing that last bit.

And was currently attempting to undo the air vent in the common room from the inside, via the sonic screwdriver.

Emma was also still wearing her kitty ears, but they had been someone sqashed by now. She had found herself a cushion, a pillow and a blanket and was sitting up, waiting patiently for Jack to find her. He'd said he would.

Jack picked his way across the common room and knelt next to Emma. She had kitty ears, she was easy to find. "Hey, little kitty. You ready for bed?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack wasn't sure what caught his attention, but he definitely heard something. Tracking it led him to the air vent, and peering through it he saw another wee tiny person. "Now how did you get in there?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma yawned in response. "Ya-huh. Sleepy," she explained. Now that Jack was here, she could lie down, so she did so. She looked up at him with big blue eyes. "Blankie now?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The sonic screwdriver popped the last of the screws fastening the vent, and it clattered open. "Fantastic!" the Doctor said. "Hi! Is this the Dalek lair?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I can do that." Jack shook out a blanket and draped it over her, tucking it carefully around her shoulders. "You going to sleep in your ears?" he asked, tugging very gently on one of them.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack ducked back, avoiding the falling vent. "Uh, no Daleks. Sorry." No. No way. It couldn't be. "Doctor?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh. I'mma kitty," she said, closing her eyes and curling up. "Kitties must've ears..."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack may have melted, just a little. "Kitties need ears, and kitties need to sleep." He stroked a hand across her hair. "You sleep, and you can have kittie adventures in the morning."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Thass me," the Doctor said. As if the ill-fitting leather jacket and big ears wasn't enough of a clue.

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm," Emma agreed, and then she was out like a light, making little snuffly purr-y noises in her sleep.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Some things were harder to believe than others, no matter how much evidence there was. "Okayyyy. How about you come out of the vent?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack watched her until he was sure she was asleep, then very quietly moved away, shaking his head at himself.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor peered out of the vent. "Will you catch me?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'll catch you," he promised, holding out his arms, ignoring that he had a sore shoulder. "Come on! Jump!"

Lana peered into the quiet room curiously. "What's going on?" she asked quietly.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor jumped out of the vent, into Jack's arms. He was the size of a lanky five year old, so it wouldn't be too much of a strain.

"Would you like a 'nana?" he asked.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack balanced the Doctor - and his brain went WTF? - on his hip and grinned. "Sure. I'll never say no to a banana."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor pulled one out of his jacket pocket. "I like 'nanas. 'Nanas are good."

Aiden, tired from all the action of the day, toddled into the nearest common room after all the bouncing with Benton.

There were pillows, and blankets. Lots of them.

She immediately flopped into a large pile, not really making any note of who might be in there already.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"There's many small people. They used to be big people." Jack may have looked a touch bewildered. "They're sleeping in the common room tonight."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack made his way over to the newcomer and smiled down at her. "Do you need to be tucked in?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"The students turned weetiny again?" Lana asked and glanced down at herself as if to make sure she hadn't changed as well.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"They are," Jack said as he took the banana. "Full of potassium, too, if I remember correctly. Can I ask how you ended up in the vent?"
