Second floor common room, Friday afternoon

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra had been making herself scarce over the past week or so. That meant she was falling into her old, solitary habits, and she didn't really want that.

So today she decided to be social. A lot of people seemed to do that with food. Cassandra decided that she could try that too. Which wasn't a bad plan except that... she couldn't cook.

Instead of making food, she was standing, looking around at the various kitchen utensils, appearing very confused.

Billy stood for a moment, looking at her looking at the utensils in confusion. "That one's called a spoon. People use it for stirring things, or for cereal, or soup, or even ice cream." he teased.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"I know that," she half-scowled-half-smiled. Which was true. It may have been about the entirety of her knowledge of kitchen utensils, but she did know that much.

[intraspective]

Ino was back in the dorms after being in town for a bit and, bored, she poked her head in just to see if there was anyone there.

She grinned. "Cassandra!"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra grinned back and nodded. Her voice was soft, "Hi, Ino."

[intraspective]

"How are you?" Ino asked wandering over to her, "And what are you doing?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"I'm... good." Which was mostly true. "Um... cooking?" Or thinking about maybe cooking...

[intraspective]

She looked around curiously, not seeing anything that was already in the process of being cooked. "Haven't decided what to make yet?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra's eyes darted to the side for a moment before she admitted, "Don't know how to cook..."

[intraspective]

Ino was about to respond with something along the lines of 'Why not? It's an excellent way of infiltrating places, you know.' but, all of a sudden, thick green slime poured down from nowhere. Right on top of Cassandra.

She gaped.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"..." Cassandra's eyes widen. "Um... what just happened?"

[intraspective]

"I have no idea, but we should get you cleaned up." Ino was still gaping, but heading towards the sink. "I'll get you some water."

Seconds later, she was soaking wet.

Ino flailed. "What's with this place today?!"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Even with slime in her hair, Cassandra smirks just a bit, "What's with this place on any other day?"

[intraspective]

Ino rolled her eyes, but laughed ruefully, "This is true," she squeezed some of the water from her hair, "but really. I hadn't planned on getting soaked."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra twitched an eyebrow. "Hey, I'm covered in green gunk, you're only covered in water." Oh, look, now Cassandra is only half-covered in green gunk. And covered in water.

[intraspective]

"But it's cold!" Ino protested, "And I don't know - " the rest of her sentence was cut off as she was slimed.

Ino's shriek of outrage was really, really loud.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

There was no more smirking or eyebrow twitching from Cassandra. Just giggling. And maybe some pointing.

[intraspective]

There was much flailing from Ino. And spluttering. "My hair," she was just a tad upset about this, yes, "do you have any idea how long it'll take me to wash this out?!"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Still giggling, Cassandra shook her head, "Oh come on. It's just some... I don't know what it is."

How fortunate! Now she will have another opportunity to study the green gunk as she is, once again, coated in it.

[intraspective]

Now she was the one giggling.

"I liked the water better." And suddenly there was more water! Ino shook her hair out and crossed her arms. "This is just ridiculous."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"I agree." Cassandra shook her head, flinging globs of slime off, "This is... weird. Maybe we should get some umbrellas?"

[intraspective]

"Do you think that would help?" Ino wondered, wringing out a bit of her shirt, "Or do you think the... uh, you know... would just hit us anyway?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"I don't know." Cassandra didn't even blink this time as more slime covered her.

"But I don't see how trying could hurt." They were thoroughly slimed and soaked already, after all.

[intraspective]

"Do you have one handy?" Ino asked, frowning at the slime on her bangs, "I don't want to go up to my room to get mine."

She sighed. Maybe more water would help with the slime situation? "Water, please."

Ino spluttered as more water hit her, and set about getting rid of as much slime as she could.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Cassandra hadn't thought that far ahead. "I don't have an umbrella."

[intraspective]

"We could try it with couch cushions?"
