[2nd Floor Common Room, Thursday Morning]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec had apparently decided to take Hades' announcement to heart today, as he sat in the common room kitchen with a giant pot on the stove and many weetiny penguins running around. The stove was on, the water coming to a boil, and Alec was hungry.

[OOC: ...someone come tell him the penguins are not for eating?]

"Like your boyfriend?" He said, while transferring penguins from the floor and into the bowl. "--wait, Sam is Samantha? Weird."

"Oh." Dawn blushed bright red. "Faith sent me a very large box of condoms back when I was dating Dean that never got used, so I'm all set, thanks. And, um, pick something else."

Sam would never forgive her if he thought she'd had sex with him as a bribe for Alec.

"You sure? I'd not be eating penguins, Sammy would finally get laid and settle down a bit, and you'd hopefully not be too disappointed," Alec said, hopeful.

It was sad how logical that argument sounded. But, "Hey! I wouldn't be at all disappointed! Which doesn't mean I'm considering this, because I'm so not. And why do you want to eat the penguins anyway?"

"I hope you wouldn't be! But if you are, that'd suck," Alec said. "And I want to see how they taste." There was an implicit duh there.

Dawn had to admit that Alec had a point. Yes, it would suck. "But they're alive, Alec." She reached over and picked up a penguin, then held it in the palm of her hand, where it stood, looking a little confused. "And innocent. And probably not very tasty."

Alec eyed the penguin, grimacing, then gave Dawn a look. "So I guess eating kittens would be against your rules too?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oh. My. God." There was flailing again. "Why would you even ask me that?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"What?" Alec frowned. "I'm not going to, I'm just... wondering."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm anti-you eating kittens!"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"And penguins, apparently," Alec said, suddenly indignant.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Dawn thought that part would have been clear by now.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"You're oppressing me," Alec said, pouting.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yup." Dawn was pretty fine with that.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I'll rebel and eat any cute animal I can find," he said sullenly.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"It's not that it's cute, it's that it's alive and being friendly and trusting. And, y'know, a penguin," Dawn tried to argue.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"So were any other animal you've ever eaten," Alec pointed out. "...Except for the being a penguin bit."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I didn't meet them first," Dawn argued.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"So that makes it okay?" Alec frowned at her logic.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn frowned as well. "No. But if I'm going to make a real point here, I have to give up all meat, and I don't want to do that because it's tasty." She sighed. "I guess my real problem is that it's cute."
