Third Floor Common Room; Sunday Evening [ 12/07].

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad was finding out that cooking with your cat was much easier when your cat suddenly had hands and opposable thumbs and could reach the counter all on his own.

The weirdness factor of the fact that Prince Oscar Pedro was a lanky bald fellow that occasionally would lick himself had worn off pretty quickly. It usually did around Chad.

And tonight they were making encheladas, with more than enough to spare for anyone else and their humanized pets.


[[ open CR is open! It's slow enough at work for me to post this, but not to answer with alacrity, so SP from me for about the next two hours or so. Wanted to get it out, though, yaaay! ]]

Lois was making her way to the radio station when she smelled someone cooking something delicious. She was going to head up early to get drunk with the squirrels but whatever was cooking seemed waaaaaaaaay better than that.

"Hi. I'm Lois," she said when she came in. "What are you making and can I have some? Actually, I don't even care what you're making. Can I just have some?"

"Enchiladas," Prince Oscar Pedro started a response, batting a tomato across the counter top, "and no, you ca--"

Chad cut him off, giving him a look. That's what he got for naming a cat for royalty. "Yes, you can have some, help yourself. I'm Chad. The bald guy is usually my cat."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," she said, resisting the urge to stick her tongue out at the bald guy...cat...whichever. "I heard about the animals-to-people epidemic on the radio. I thought it was a joke at first. But, nope..."

"It's....different," Chad said.

"You're telling me," sniffed Prince Oscar Pedro.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Okay, is he always this prissy?" Lois asked, pointing at Prince Oscar Pedro. She figured it was okay to be rude because, you know, he's usually a cat.

Chad and Prince Oscar Pedro exchanged a look; Prince Oscar Pedro ended it by rolling his eyes and going back to batting around the tomato.

"Oh, yeah," Chad said. "Word of advice. Never name your cat after royalty just because your boyfriend is an emperor."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I'll keep that in mind," Lois said with a firm nod. "I'm not really into pets but I'll make it a point not to name anything I own after royalty just in case it turns human."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"And he hasn't even mentioned how long my name is, either," Prince Oscar Pedro added. "It's a good thing I'm not a human, because it's be such a pain in the tail to write!"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? What's your full name?" she asked.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Prince Oscar Pedro sighed, and then took a deep breath.

"Prince Oscar Pedro Neko-kun," he recited, his tone bored.

There was a pause.

"The Third."

Lois raised an eyebrow and looked over at Chad. "Seriously?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi Lois!" Robin waved. "How's your weekend going?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi Chad!" Robin waved. He looked at the bald guy and guessed. "Oscar Pedro?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Pri--," started in the bald guy who was a cat, but Chad nudged him with an elbow to get him to shut up.

And then Chad just tilted his head at the boy. "You got us," he said. "But I'm not so good."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"It's me, Robin." he laughed.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Oh! You turned into a person, too, huh?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Yup. And I'm still small." he said with a slightly rueful chuckle.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Don't feel too bad," Chad said, lightly grinning, "everyone is around me."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin laughed. "Yeah good point. I never realized just how actually tall you were."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"But, hey," Chad offered, "I think I finally stopped growing."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"You were still growing?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Chad said. "Some people keep growing 'til they're twenty."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin looked down at himself. "Maybe there's hope for me then."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Well," Chad admitted, "I don't know how it works for frogs, but maybe?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin was mostly exercising wishful thinking. As a frog he was the same size at 15, as he had been at 4.

"Only time will tell right? Well, what do you think of this new batch of Fandom?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"It's...a little weird," Chad admitted, giving a glance over toward Prince Oscar Pedro, who had started rolling on the floor a little.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin quirked an eyebrow. Something else he'd never been able to do before! And blink! And close his eyes! "Yeah, I guess it is a little. I think it's kind of fun myself."
