3rd Floor Common Room [Saturday Evening]

[longislandiceme]

True to what he'd said last night, Bobby was spending tonight doing much the same thing: that is, hanging out in a common room with a bag full of chocolate, aimlessly flipping through channels and hoping people would stop by and be entertaining.

Sookie was bored. Thus, she wandered all the way down from her own floor until she found one that had someone or something interesting in it.

Thankfully, this one had Bobby and chocolate. Score. "Are you sharing?"

[longislandiceme]

"With you?" Bobby grinned. "Always."

"And what if I brought Tina down here? Would she get any?" Sookie paused thoughtfully as she found a spot on the couch to sit. "Wait, can cats have chocolate? Is that a thing? I know dogs can't."

"I... am not actually sure," Bobby admitted, holding out the bag of chocolate. "Probably not. Isn't most people food kinda bad for animals?" Never you mind what he'd eaten as a penguin. Never you mind.

Tara, restless after a few days and no more word from Kennedy, took Mr. Moxy and went in search of company.

"Hey," she said, flopping onto a seat and staring at the TV with the kitten still on her lap. "So, uh, are we watching anything?"

"I ate people food as a kangaroo," she pointed out, taking some chocolate. "Maybe people food is okay when you're only temporarily an animal."

[longislandiceme]

"Nothing in particular," Bobby admitted. "Only thing interesting on is that crime show where they do autopsies a lot," he wrinkled his nose. "Can't watch that while I'm eating," he gestured to the chocolate.

"Someone needs to tell Jean that," Bobby said with an exaggerated pout.

"Are you planning on penguinifying again?" Sookie asked, making up a new word.

"The TV," Sookie said with a smile. "But aside from that, I'm not sure we're being specific tonight. Who's this cutie?" she added with a nod to the kitten.

[longislandiceme]

"More like planning for it," Bobby admitted. "It's good to have, you know, contingency plans in case of... stuff." Like penguinifying!

Tara wrinkled her nose. "Yeah, it makes my tummy all icky," she said. "I'm -- not such a fan of blood. And I'm not even eating."

"What if next time you're not a penguin?" she wondered. "What if you're like, a piglet or a platypus or a unicorn?"

[longislandiceme]

"...A unicorn?" Bobby paused with a chocolate halfway to his mouth and just kind of stared at Sookie. "Is that even possible?" Because she would know!

"Oh, you haven't met Mr. Moxy yet?" Tara asked, setting the kitten (half-grown cat now, really, but forever a kitten to Tara) on the ground to pad up to Sookie. "Sookie, this is Mr. Moxy. Moxy, this is Miss Sookie. M-make friends."

Moxy ... was a cat and, as cats often do, looked unimpressed.

"It's Fandom," she said by way of explanation.

Leia had spent a good part of the day reading up on the Queen Elizabeth they'd learned about in class on Friday, and now she finally ventured out into the common room to find something to eat. "Hi, Bobby," she said. "What are you watching?"

Two dimensional TV was so archaic.

Sookie reached a hand out to the wee kitty, just in case he wanted to sniff first and establish whether she smelled too much like Tina or something. "He's adorable. I should bring my little girl kitty down to a common room at some point. She doesn't have any little cat friends."

[longislandiceme]

"So far?" Bobby shrugged. "All we've done is rule out the gross crime show."

[longislandiceme]

"No crime show then," Bobby said solemnly. "Especially not with young and impressionable cats in the room," he added with a nod towards the kitten.

Moxy sniffed and looked at her, cautiously cockeyed, as if he recognized Tina's scent and wasn't sure what to make of it.

"I got him end of last summer," Tara said, tucking her hair back. "Fiona, my roommate? She got one too. So he and Nyx are kind of like, um, kitty foster sisters. Tina should come down and hang out with them sometime."

Sookie wasn't sure if she'd ever actually met the other girl, but she waved at her brightly anyway. "We have chocolate, too."

Well. Bobby had chocolate. Sookie was just going to volunteer it for him because she was helpful.

Tara glanced over to Moxy, who was pouncing around fighting a clearly evil dust bunny. "Thanks. But I don't think Moxy pays attention to the TV," she said. "Maybe if there were bugs on it or something..."

Leia wrinkled her nose. "Good," she said. "There must be something better than that on."

[life_inshadow]

Tara's cat wandered toward Leia, followed by a sheepish Tara. "Hi," she said. "Hope you aren't allergic or anything. He's, um, f-friendly."
