ways_back_room | And with a Crash-

Fading out is an echo of two voices...

"He's an angsty, emo, heartless sorcerer swordsman."

"He totally needs to get laid, then."

There's never a good closet around when you need one- at least, ever since someone came up with Rule #3. So what if Laini and Zelgadiss missed the stairs and whatever else door they were aiming for- They're at least out of the bar right now, and Laini is doing her best to get him out of his clothes.

(As for hers- Shapeshifter. That will only take a moment, unless he wants to help as well!)

They crash the door into the back room and onto a convenient couch. Zel winces a bit as the back of his head hits the armrest (because Laini is totally doing the pouncing) and, noticing their surroundings, says eloquently, "Um. Where are we?"

Laini blinks, maybe finally distracted. Somewhat. "Good question- though someone did leave a drink here."

Zelgadiss eyes said drink. It's blue. Very blue. "Yeah, but what sort is it?"

BACKROOM INVASION! Tag freely! Threadhop! Make crack! It's not canon and it doesn't really happen! Allons-y!

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"

Kyo is curious. And annoyed. And right next to you, Aura!

Aura turns, hopping on one foot.

"Not my bathroom, that's for sure."

It's almost funny to watch her semi-short and stocky frame bounce.

Kyo takes pity on her. "Through the reality warp, to your left. The one with an even number of tentacles is the ladies room."

"Tentacles. Oh man, I'm lovin' this place more and more."

Rush rush rush.

And then rush rush rush back.

So she can gush!

Sort of.

Because KYO!

"Hi! Thanks for the info."

He shrugs. "No problem. Where did this come from?"

He looks around.

A shrug back.

"Dunno, just does."

She holds out a hand.

"I'm Aura. United States, early 2008, that whole drill."

"Kyo Sohma, Japan, late 2004, etc." He bows politely, and then gingerly examines her hand.

"Ah."

She takes her hand back and bows herself. What's that saying about old habits again?

"2004 was a good year for me. That was when I graduated high school."

Though she looks like she could pass for a high school freshman. And has been mistaken for one before.

"Is it really? You must be like Momiji then."

He nods. "But at least you seem sane enough."

He wrinkles his nose slightly. "How did this place get here?"

"Yep. Apparently instead of getting older I just get fatter. You should see my sister. She's at least a foot taller than me and thin as a rail."

Aura is apparently siphoning away her sister's fat.

"As for sane, well, you're looking at the inventor of the chocolate spatula, but then, at least I'm not as crazy as my mother."

Think more Willy Wonka crazy, not actual crazy.

His cat ears perk up. He can't help it.

"Chocolate spatula?"

Huh?

"Yeah. I like making candies into weird shapes. After culinary school, I'm going into business with a couple of friends and opening a bakery and candy shop."

She holds up her necklace, a pink elephant made out of leather.

"Pink Elephant Kitchens."

"Ooh, food!"

Kyo's mun would like it to be known that this is awesome.

"Oh yes, it's always been my calling. I've always been experimenting with this or that in the kitchen. Why just last weekend I succeeded in making these awesome catnip brownies."

Mentioning all of this is coincidence.

A really well timed coincidence.

He makes a face.

It looks like 0.0

He wants them.

Aura knows that face well.

It's usually followed by a marriage proposal. She's honestly gotten a few from her cooking.

"Shall I put you down for an order? I've been thinking about making some more."

"Yes. I love you. I would hug you, but I have lice."

It's not true, but it keeps girls away.

Well now. This is the first time someone said 'I love you' before saying 'Marry me'. That's a nice change.

But Aura does scrunch her face in a way that says 'Really?' before going, "Fair enough. I'm still experimenting with the recipe, wondering if maybe I should use a higher dose of catnip in it. The last one took two brownies to get me sufficiently giggly."

He blinks.

Moar catnip?

"More can be good."

"In this case, yes."

She can think of times when it's not, but none of those times involve catnip brownies.

"I'm quite excited about this recipe, as it's something I've never encountered in any local bakery before, but there's no reason why it can't be sold. They are perfectly legal."

Oh yes, Aura's going to be taking advantage of that.

He chuckles. "Catnip is interesting. I think it's kind of fun."

"It's lovely stuff. Makes for a handy painkiller."

But Aura's quite sure that Kyo doesn't want or need to hear about how catnip helps her not kill things when she's having lady problems.

"Only problem with making catnip anything is that my sister's cat Ashton tries to come up and get it. Every time I offer it to him, he runs away until I'm out of sight, digs it out, spreads it all over my kitchen floor, and just rolls in the stuff."

Ah, the mirth and merriment!

Kyo laughs. And is glad to not hear about her lady problems. "Smart cat?"

"Crafty little fellow, and affectionate. He likes jumping up in my lap. Probably because I'm so cushy."

She pokes at the pooch of her stomach.

He laughs. "But you're really nice too. Cats tend to like nice people."

Not that he would know. "At least smart cats."
