[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?]

"That doesn't mean you get to hit him!" Katara said to Rikku at least according to her very strong belief that the only person allowed to hit Sokka was herself.

"And there's plenty of other food than very, very cute penguins! Why do you have to eat them? Go make a sandwich," she glared at Sokka.

"I didn't hit him!" Rikku protested. "I was gonna hit him, but then he pulled a stupid knife on me!"

She turned to Sokka. "And not even a big one! You're not very good at this whole being-threatening thing, are you!?"

"It was his idea!" Sokka said to Katara, pointing at Alec. "And it's a good one. Penguins are tasty."

"And I am too threatening!" He puffed himself up and tried to look scary. "Katara, tell her I'm threatening!"

"Penguins are tasty!" Katara agreed. "We don't eat penguin babies though!"

She paused and looked at Rikku. "Ummm..."

"But they're not babies," Sokka insisted. "They're very, very tiny adults. Which means they're ripe."

"It doesn't matter how old they are! Penguins are not food!" Rikku folded her arms, giving both of them a shocked look.

Then she turned to Sokka and sighed. "Look, if I say you're really threatening and act like I was totally scared or something, will you stop being mean to the penguins?"

"I'm not being mean to them!" Sokka protested.

"...FINE!" Exasperated, he threw his hands up in the air. "I won't cook any penguins. Are you happy?"

He looked around the room. "Is everybody happy???" he shouted.

"Actually...yes," Katara said with a nod.

"Except that there's nothing wrong with eating penguins when they're grown up," she added to Rikku.
