Fifth floor common room, Thursday, DAWN

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka was asleep, crouched on the back of the sofa, with his head buried in his armpit. As first light stole over him, he slowly awakened. Time to greet the day!

He puffed up his chest, stretched his neck out, and CROWED, as loud as he could.

That settled, he scrabbled at the pantry until it opened, and soon Sokka had breakfast scattered on the floor. He pecked away at the best chickenfeed he'd ever tasted, amidst the shredded remains of the smiling visage of Orville Reddenbacher.

A pillow came flying through the door of the common room.

"KEEP IT DOWN!"

"BRAWWK???"

Sokka hopped over to the pillow, cocked his head, and eyed it warily. Nope, not food. He went back to pecking at the corn.

Pip stuck his head in and blinked a few times. "...Sokka, do I want to know why there's corn everywhere?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka ignored him and kept pecking and clucking softly to himself. Mmmm, buttery.

There was no way Parker was up at dawn.

She was up an hour or so later, though, and looking for coffee.

Sokka was still pecking away at the popcorn. Mmmm. Corn.

"BRAAAWK???"

He hopped around nervously when she entered the room, and cocked his head at her.

Parker facepalmed. Yup. Just like she'd suspected. Someone else Lana had come in contact with was being extra-weird.

"Hey." She studied Sokka, shaking her head. "Why a chicken?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka backed away from her and went back to pecking at the corn. He'd bother her in a moment. After food.

Parker threw up her hands and went to get some coffee, snagging a few popcorn kernels on the way. Lana or Marie were *so* going to hear about this.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

She had food! Sokka strutted after her, trying to peck the corn out of her hand.

"HEY!" Parker grabbed Sokka's nose when he tried to peck at her fingers again. "Not yours, Sokka!"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"BRRAAAWWWWK!!!!"

Sokka flailed for a moment, and then backed away until she let go.
THEN he puffed up his chest and flapped his arms aggressively. "BRAAWWWK!!!" he squawked angrily.

Parker stared at this for two seconds. And then:

"RoooooaaaaaaAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka hopped backwards, terrified. "BRAWWWK!"

He started running around the common room in circles.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Grrrrrr." Parker watched Sokka for a minute, then facepalmed at herself as she headed for the door. "Right. Apologies when you're not an avian any more."

Sokka had discovered a bit of dust under the television, and he was now trying to see if it was edible, ignoring both Parker and the popcorn kernels behind him.
