Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[chirpchirpchirp]

Two girls had wandered into the attic this morning, one after the other.

It was also two girls who came storming back out again, bickering and arguing their way down several flights of stairs in loud, angry Scottish accents. Did they even actually know what it was they were arguing about? It was entirely possible they didn't! Did that matter? Not at all.

Also, they thought they were ducks.

"-- And that time you tried to use my own nephew against me! Do you figure that was my fault too?"

They could go on like this for a while, folks.

"Just be warned," Sidon offered, still with mild amusement but with some gravity to it, as well, "they're must quicker than you might anticipate. I'm afraid I've even fallen prey to one, despite the fact that I was intensely aware that one might appear at any moment, as was the other person with me. Thanks to his warning, I was still able to get a rather good punch against the overzealous creature, but he, alas, was able to get a good bite on me as well."

Now it was gonna be a challenge for Trevor.

He nodded, taking that information in before asking, "Does it wear off quickly?"

Because his roommate was acting more murderous than usual.

"I believe it rather depends on the person," Sidon said after a moment of thinking about it. "Mine, thankfully, wore off rather quickly indeed, although there was some speculation that, due to my particular size, it would naturally take more venom to effect me as it would, say..." He gestured almost regrettably to the girls and their....noticeable littleness, "someone smaller."

Sorry, Trevor.

Of course, there was also the theory that he had been able to 'snap out of it' due to a moment of subconscious distress, but he'd rather like to avoid having to put one of them...most likely himself...in danger to test that hypothesis.

Yeah, Trevor looked at the two girls as well and then up. And then up a little more. And then a liiiittle more. There you were, Sidon!

"So, we wait it out. This place have any food?" Because he might get hangry without it.

Finally! Sidon could offer some good news.

"Almost always," he said, smiling a touch, as he nodded toward the kitchentte. "The cupboards and the refrigerator seem to be eternally stocked, though the offering sometimes may vary. I actually live upstairs, on the fourth floor, so I can't speak for what's common down here, but I can almost always find, at the very least, a bag of fish sticks in the freezer. And unless anything's labeled with someone's name, it's all free for the taking."

Sort of like weapons back home, which was kind of a nice touch, in Sidon's opinion.

It was no wall chicken, but Trevor would take it.

"Perfect. I suggest we find something to eat and watch this play out."

If only knew about cameras or video recording to commemorate this occasion.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Watch how it played out and also, more importantly, make sure there were no murderous attempts on his girlfriend, because, yes, the murdery parts were a bit...disconcerting.

"A marvelous idea," Sidon agreed with a pump of his fist, before gesturing toward the fridge in question. "After you, of course. It sounds as though you arrived with sustenance on your mind before stumbling into this rather unexpected distraction."

[crack_that_whip]

"Anything with meat and I'm happy. I'd say ale, but I have yet to find any in this building."

And he didn't have money to go to the bars in town.
