2nd Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

It hadn't taken too long for Warren to figure out how to navigate the second floor common room, and he'd managed to scrounge up some crayons and blank paper to set onto a table for his unexpected roommate.

That accomplished, he was going to leave her to her own devices now, with Saturday morning cartoons on the TV in the background. They were, he figured, excellent diversions to spare him from having to babysit, and with her out here, there was no chance of that kitten eating her while he fled for his sanity's sake.

"Bye!" she called cheerfully and then, well, Kururu had crayons. And paper! And she was doing her Very Best to draw rainbows. ... This was harder than it sounded when you were barely taller than the crayon, okay?

It absolutely wasn't going to stop her from trying! Let's go!

[Hinata is Kururu from Bottle Fairy, la! Warren has fled the room (and mucho thanks to not_a_parakeet for writing half this post!), Kururu is still there, and the common room is open as such things are!]

A really loud (and prolonged) made it into the room well before a blond girl who practically exuded hyperactivity.

"IIIIIIIIIIIISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC! Are I know you're in here!" Why was he hiding from her? Sure, it was fun, but it was more fun to go on adventures together!

Which was the kind of thinking you'd expect from a six year old, not someone who looked closer to twenty.

Kururu blinked up from her drawings. PERSON! HI!

She waved excitedly, almost tripping over her crayon. "Hi!"

Miria looked around spastically for the source of the gretting. "Hello?" she called hesitantly. "Is someone there?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Me! Me! I'm here!"

Itty bitty girl with pink hair on the coffee table! With a crayon!

That was almost as big as she was. Yes.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Ohmygosh!" Miria rushed over to the table and beamed down at its occupant. "You're so tiny!" And cute!

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I've shrunk?" Kururu said, looking down at herself. What if she had? Oh no! "Does it look like I've shrunk?"

... she doesn't even know you, Kururu.

"Do you absolutely need to scream like that?" Karla snapped, whirling to look at the--"Triela?!?"

That's what most of her senses were telling her. Except for her eyes of course. Maybe the Agency was doing another experiment...?

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Miria spun around looking for this 'Triela' person. "Where?" she asked as she kept spinning (in multiple circles... she was starting to get dizzy.)

[glacial_queen]

"Uhhh, maybe you should stop spinning," Karla said, still borrowing Francine's 'you are my brain on drugs' expression. "That probably isn't good for you. And you are...?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Miria did stop spinning, but only because she got dizzy and fell over. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "How rude of me! I'm Miria! Miria Harvent!" She stuck her hand out for shaking, but not really in Karla's direction. (She was dizzy!)

[glacial_queen]

Karla gingerly leaned over and took 'Miria's' hand. "I'm Karla," she said. "Pleasure to, uhh, meet you. Yes. So, Miria..."

She wasn't entirely sure what to ask here.

"...what brings you to Fandom?"

[glacial_queen]

After a long and frustrating conversation with Peter--Ender--whoever! Karla was not in the best of moods. She flounced down to the common room, hoping to talk to someone sensible and not stupidly male.

She'd have to settle for half of that.

Kururu was very very dim, unfortunately.

But she was female! And adorable!

"Hi!" she said, leaning over to peer at the pretty girl. Kururu grinned sunnily, holding her crayon. "Hi!"

Yes, she said it twice.

[glacial_queen]

"Hi?" Karla said, stopping dead in her tracks and staring. She didn't know it yet, but this expression was going to be on constant rotation today. "And you are...?"

Whether she was looking for a name or an explanation, she wasn't entirely sure. It wasn't that she wasn't used to people that size, but she wasn't used to someone who felt like Hinata being that size. Or that perky.

One arm flailed excitedly as her crayon clattered from her grasp on the coffee table.

"I'm Kururu! What's your name? Do you want to draw? I'm doing rainbows!"

So they could keep the sun company. It was Very Important.

[glacial_queen]

"Kururu?" Karla asked. "Rainbows?"

Apparently, Karla had turned into an echo for AU!weekend.

The dorms. He was in the dorms! Zack hadn't been inside of the dorms since...

Well, since he'd been a breather, so this was new and exciting and maybe a little too sunny here and there, but if he stuck by the walls then he didn't have to worry about the worst kind of sunburn, and it wasn't as though this common room was far from the room he'd woken up in, anyhow.

"Meat!" Wait. That wasn't a greeting. "Fetch?"

Closer, Zack.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Hiii!"

The source of the voice was the tiny pink-haired girl on the coffee table waving excitedly in his direction. She had crayons scattered around her feet and was holding a blue one.

[puppy_fair]

"Hi!" Oh, he was entirely too chirpy for any self-respecting vampire, wasn't he? Not that this fact was going to stop him, of course.

Aww, she was bite-sized!

Zack took a moment to carefully plot a sunbeam-free path across the common room floor to make his way over to the tiny little girl. And then he completely ignored it, making his way over in a slightly smoldering daredevil run, instead.

"Whatcha drawin'?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Rainbows!" she said, big blue eyes staring up at him. "You're smoking!"

Smoking was bad! It killed your lungs!

[puppy_fair]

Among other things, yes!

"I kinda miss rainbows," Zack shared, reaching up with one hand in order to pat out some still somewhat smoky parts of his arm. "But that's okay. I like the moon better anyhow."

He held out his arms to show that the smoking had stopped. See? All better!

[glacial_queen]

"Oh, thank the Darkness!" Karla said, relieved to see someone she recognized by more than psychic scent. Even if his did feel a little different. "Zack, I'm so happy to see you! You're feeling...well, normal, right?"

She solved his sunlight problem by crossing over to him. "I think everyone in the dorms has gone insane. It's probably a Fandom thing, but it's still pretty creepy."

Oh, honey...

[puppy_fair]

She'd clearly picked an interesting individual to flail about insanity to, hadn't she?

"I'm feeling as normal as I ever do," he reported, blinking and tilting his head a bit. Meat didn't usually seem so happy to see him. "Are you...?"

Look, if she was sick, then he didn't wanna eat her.

[glacial_queen]

"No, no, I'm fine," Karla assured him, assuming he was also making sure she was unaffected by whatever Fandom-oddity was happening today. "Just confused as all Hell. Ender is his brother and Hinata's the size of a crayon and I'm pretty sure I can hear the wind echoing through Triela's head and I haven't even left the second floor yet."

[puppy_fair]

There were a lot of names that Zack didn't know, but in the end the whole conversation translated neatly for him anyhow, if he just replaced the names with all-purpose words like 'meat' and 'guts' and 'lunch.'

He could totally handle a midday snack. Wouldn't even spoil his appetite for the evening or anything.

"So... It's weird for a whole bunch of people then, huh?" He rocked from foot to foot, tilting his head the other way as he did so. "I didn't wake up in my room today. That was kinda weird, I guess."
