Third floor common room, Friday afternoon

[notmyownage]

Claudia was slouched on the couch with some show about random stuff at the Smithsonian on as background noise as she sifted through her notes from her classes, so far. She was less of a mind to review what she was supposed to be learning than to figure out which teacher to approach for a pass into the library's special collections. There was a small voice in the back of her head reminding her that Joshua probably wouldn't see it as fulfilling his legacy if she got eaten by carnivorous books, but that was easily ignorable.

She was not so intent that she didn't spot the small fuzzy thing walking across the common room, though. She watched it for a long moment, tilting her head curiously.

"What are you supposed to be? Some kind of lemur?"

"I think monkeys have longer arms," Kurt observed, poking his head in. "That little guy's just CUTE!"

[notmyownage]

"But it's got the big ole crazy eyes going on," Claudia pointed out. The fuzzy thing lowered its ears at her. Claudia tilted her head the other way, then smiled at Kurt. "Hey, Kurt. How's it going?"

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt shrugged. "Okay, I guess. Still upset about class yesterday."

"Hi Kurt." Leda grinned. The thing on her head looked up and waved. Then it went back to it's work. There were several tiny braids in Leda's hair by now.

Kurt waved cheerfully. "Hi!" Hopefully, he'd remember her name before having to admit he didn't remember it.

"I think it likes you. You should keep it!"

"Hey," Jacob greeted, he thought he'd heard her there. He stopped at the funny looking thing she had with her. "You picking up strays now?"

"I was just sitting here, minding my own business. The fuzzy thing just showed up." Claudia poked herself in the lower lip with the end of her pen. "D'you suppose it's a gremlin?" The fuzzy thing looked quite put out at the very implication. "It doesn't look very dangerous."

"Aren't they supposed to be more critter like?" he asked. Whatever was critter like, he moved further in the room. "Did it try to bite?"

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt glared at Jacob, but didn't say anything.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

First instinct would be to growl, but he'd done enough damage for one week and Jacob shrugged it off.

Whatever, dude.

Leda and her new friend managed to wave at the same time. Not that Leda could see that it had happened of course.

"Hey Jacob. What's up?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"You got one of those too," Jacob said, the mimicking was kind of amusing.

Worf had come into the common room in order to check on his stash of prune juice when he spotted the furry... Thing making cute noises.

"What is that?" he demanded to know.

[notmyownage]

Well, wasn't this guy Mr. Growly-pants. "Don't know yet. It's sort of vaguely primate-ish." She looked up. "Woah. That is one heck of a forehead."

Very nice, Claudia. Very sensitive.

"Thank you," Worf replied gruffly and pointed again at the... thing. "We should remove this creature from the premises immediately."

Unbeknown to Worf, another creature was now behind him imitating his manner with the arm movements and cute little noises while it pretended to be gruff.

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

"Does it MATTER?" Kurt asked him. "It's CUTE!"

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"It's a parasite," Worf growled. "Nothing more."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I saw the little frog guy teaching some to skateboard."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf looked at the girl then back at the creature.

"It must be destroyed."

The adorable brown and white thing perched on top of Leda's head was attempting to braid her hair. Or some of it anyway.

"Anyone lose a...thing?" she asked, bemused.

[notmyownage]

"Dunno, but we've got a couple of 'em in here, too." Claudia blinked at the hair braiding. "Nimble little sucker, huh?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Some kind of cutsie invasion I guess. Not so bad really."

Alex wandered into the common room, catching sight of the creature. "That's... different. Cute, but different."

[notmyownage]

"So it's not, like, something that shows up every third Friday of the month or something?"

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

"There are lots of them today!" Kurt told her. "You're different, too. Hi, I'm Kurt."
