Fifth Floor Common Room: Evening

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie was sitting on his hind legs and staring at the refrigerator.

Occasionally he would whimper and cast big puppy dog eyes at anyone passing by.

//FEED ME!// Jamie yipped.

Sam walked into the common room, on her guard and on the lookout for Lana and Jack, not that she'd admit it to anyone. She glanced down at the dog. "Hello."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Sam!// Jamie yipped. //Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam!//

Jamie bolted over to the refrigerator door and scratched at it.

//Food!//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, I don't speak dog, so you're out of luck there," Sam said, opening the fridge, "but I figure you're pretty clear. Hungry, huh?" She pulled out some cold cuts, sniffed them, put back some intriguing-smelling cheese, and started tearing up pieces of bologna and dropping them to the floor. "Don't eat too fast, or you'll get sick."

Then she grabbed a bowl and poured some tap water into it and set it on the floor.

//Food!// Jamie yipped excitedly and wolfed down the food anyway before going to the bowl for water. //Yay! Thanks Sam. I thought I might have to go to Hermione for cat food.//

Then Jamie tilted his doggie head. //Then again you're not understanding a woof I'm saying.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You full, or do you want more?" Sam asked, scratching him between the ears.

*thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump*

//ooooooo. Just keep doing that for like... ten years.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Laughing, Sam sat down on the floor, still scratching. "Either you're someone's lost dog, or I'm going to have some serious explaining to do, but you're too cute to ignore."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//It's me! Jam- Oh hell//

Jamie rammed his head against the door and created a duplicate pup and then absorbed it.

//That give you a clue?//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so you're either Z or Jamie," she rubbed the dog's head, "Doesn't that hurt?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Yes,// Jamie whimpered, //But at least it lets people know I'm not John.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam used both hands now in a combination of petting and scratching. "You seem okay being a dog, relatively speaking. Do you need anything? More food? A walk?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I'd like three packages of beef jerky, the most recent Eliza Dusku movie where she's naked and a winnebago,// Jamie said as the scratches made his leg thump again. //In the meantime just keep scratching. That feeeeeeels gooooooood.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam kept scratching, since that seemed to get a positive reaction. "Jamie or Z, I'm very, very sorry if this is embarrassing for both of us later."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Then I won't tell you I have a strong urge for a cigarette,// Jamie replied. //Of course I'm kidding but you have no idea what I'm saying do you?//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I didn't get any of that," Sam apologized, still scratching.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I'm so getting you a free manicure at the spa for this// Jamie yipped with a sigh of contentment.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam eyed the dog. "Happy yip, right? Not about to bite my hand warning yip?" She was used to cats.

Vladdie was in a very hyper mood - don't ask why, Rory didn't want to know - so Rory had sighed and stuck him on his leash. He'd yipped hovered the whole way up to the fifth floor, and Rory was all set to take him back downstairs when they both spotted the other dog.

/HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!/ Vladdie yipped.

"Are you a student?" Rory asked, slightly wary.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Hi! Hi!// Jamie yipped back and bounced a bit. //Yes! I'm a student! I'm Jamie Madrox!//

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

//My name's Vladdie and I am going for a walk because I sleeped ALL DAY and now I'm AWAKES and I can fly can you fly can you can you can you?//

Vladdie finished his enthused speech by hovering.

"I have no idea what either of you is saying. I don't speak dog," Rory admitted. "Can you nod yes for if you're a student?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//No I can't fly!// Jamie yipped back at Vladdie. //But I can do this!//

He nodded at Rory and then ran full blast at the refrigerator door once again bumping his head against it and creating multiple Dog!Jamies.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"...hi Jamie," Rory said, staring.

//LOTS!!!! LOTS OF FRIENDS!!// Vladdie yipped shrilly. //HI HI HI HI HI HI ALL OF YOU HI!!//

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Yes. I've been getting that look a lot this week,// Jamie whimpered to Rory.

Meanwhile the Dupe!Puppies were all jumping around Vladdie. //PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!//

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

//WHAT SHOULD WE PLAY??// Vladdie asked, seemingly seriously concerned about this.

"Hmm. Did you go in the closet by the journalism classroom?" Rory wondered.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//I don't know// The dupe puppies yipped back to Vladdie. //I'm knew at this.//

Jamie shook his head and barked twice at Rory.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Weird," Rory said. "My ex-boyfriend got turned into a bunny that way."

//WE COULD PLAY RUN AROUND!// Vladdie suggested. //IT IS MY FAVORITE.//

He demonstrated how to play by running in a circle.

Vladdie was easily amused.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Bunny?! Where?!//

Jamie's dog instincts were getting the better of him.

As was evident from the Dupe!Puppies running around in circles with Vladdie and then chasing their own tails.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

//Bunny?// Vladdie asked, looking around. //No bunny here! ...what'sa bunny?//

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Bunny! Bunny!// Jamie said running around Rory's leg. //She says there's a bunny!//

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Vladdie followed, still on his leash. Rory sighed, her legs knotted together now.

//I WANT A BUNNY. WHERE? WHERE?//

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

All the dupe puppies were now in on it. //YAY! BUNNY! SHOW US THE BUNNY! SHOW US THE BUNNY!//

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory spun to unwind herself. //BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY!!// Vladdie enthused.

"Okay, you know what, maybe we need to go back downstairs."

Vladdie looked as crestfallen as a baby vampire dog could.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

All the puppies sat down and assumed an innocent expression. //We'll be good!//

Naomi was bored so she decided to find a common room, when she got to the fifth one she stared at the dog, finally she blinked and remembering the dog language class she had taken in Cross Species Communication she said //um, hello?//

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Hi!// Jamie yipped excitedly. //ZOMG! You can speak dog! Yay!//

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

More staring, //Are you by any chance a student here?// Naomi decided it was better to ask that question first.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Jamie Madrox!// he said with a wave of a paw. //Generally I'm in human form.//

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

//Jamie?// Naomi blinked //how did this happen?//

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

//Spell,// Jamie said with a whimper as he put his snout down on his paws. //Still trying to figure out how to get myself un-spelled.//

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

//A spell? Do you know who did this?//
