Second floor common room - Friday afternoon

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile sat crossed-legged on the floor in front of the TV. She tucked her divided skirts around her bare feet and leaned forward a bit more.

"Do it again," she commanded John who sat on the couch behind her, holding the remote control.

And then there was a crazy looking fuzzy muppet entering the room with a giant bowl of popcorn held over his head.

"POP-CORN! POP-CORN!"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

This? Was enough to get Faile to stop staring at the TV. Speechless, she just blinked at Animal.

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal waved his muppet hand at the pretty girl.

"WOOOOOO-MAN!" he called out in greeting.

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Was this a greeting?

"FUZZY THING!" Failed called out in return.

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal shook his head back and forth in a rapid fashion.

"ANIMAL! ANIMAL!" he said trying to introduce himself.

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile blinked again. It spoke, but it claimed not to be human. She looked around at the other people in the common room, but the lack of reaction to the creature assured her that he wasn't a danger.

She looked back at Animal. "HUMAN!" she replied.

"MUPPET!" Animal replied because it seemed to be the think to do.

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

More blinking. Maybe that was the country he was from.

"SALDAEA!"

"Popcorn?" Chad asked, as if verifying something that wasn't already insanely obvious.

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

"UH-HUH! UH-HUH!" Animal announced whipping his head up and down in his typical headbanging fashion.

Which of course sent a good deal of popcorn flying everywhere.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

While he never failed to appeciate a good headbang, perhaps there was a time and a place. "Whoa, there, man," he said, taking his hand and putting it on the bowl to steady it. "Popcorn's not as good on the floor."

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal shrugged and handed Chad the bowl as he sat down on the floor and began to eat the popcorn from the floor.

Apparently Animal was not a picky eater.

"STILL GOOD! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH!"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad was not surprised.

"Good, you have those ones; we'll eat these."

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal scooped more popcorn off the floor and ate it messily. Mostly spreading more popcorn bits on the floor than getting it in his mouth.

"Hey," John greeted Animal. "Popcorn's my favorite, can I have some?"

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal scooped some spilled popcorn off the floor and offered it John.

"HERE YOU GO! HAH! HAH! HAH!"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nevermind," John said, shaking his head at the floor-popcorn. "It's not the same when it's been on the floor. Especially this floor."

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal looked at the floor carefully to see if there was anything wrong with it.

Not finding anything upon visual inspection, Animal licked the floor and found it to be fine.

"FLOOR OKAY!" Animal reported and continued to eat Popcorn from it.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed, "You like the taste of floor? I bet you'd like the taste of shoe, too."

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal tilted his head slightly as though thinking about it.

Now he was very obviously staring at John's shoes.

"Hello again, fuzzy-funny-thing." Anemone eyed the bowl of popcorn greedily. "Is that a tasty thing for sharing, or some form of entertainment?"

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal offered the popcorn to the pretty girl and introduced himself in typical muppet fashion.

"ANIMAL! ANIMAL!"

Okay. Typical for Animal.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Is that your name or species? In either event, I am pleased to make your acquaintance. I am Anemone." She bobbed a quick curtsy and snagged some of the offered popcorn. "And thank you for the tasty treat."

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal scratched his head at the question. He actually wasn't quite sure.

So he just whipped his head up and down in a headbanging act of affirmation.

"UH-HUH! UH-HUH!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone giggled. "You're cute, Animal. Are you one of the students?"
