And with a Crash-

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

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!

"Ooh, food!"

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

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

"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.

[forgottenfeline]

He makes a face.

It looks like 0.0

He wants them.

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

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."

[forgottenfeline]

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

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

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

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."

[forgottenfeline]

He blinks.

Moar catnip?

"More can be good."

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

"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.

[forgottenfeline]

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

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

"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!

[forgottenfeline]

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

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

"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.

[forgottenfeline]

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

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

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

She puts her hand on her head.

"Oh dear, I guess I'm fitting the stereotype of the jolly fat person. Guess there are worse things to be, though."

[forgottenfeline]

"You could be an asshole." He notes sagely.

And his mun hugs you, falling into the same stereotype herself.

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

The person who falls into the asshole category would be Aura's mother, but again, not something Kyo probably wants to hear about.

"I can be sometimes," she honestly admits, "But that's why I cook. I'm far more relaxed when I cook. At least as long as I'm not working in a pizza joint. That last one I worked at sucked."

[forgottenfeline]

Holy crap, the mun can agree with both of those narrative points.

"Everybody can be, if they want to."

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

Really, now? Does your mom think she had an abusive relationship with Alice Cooper?

"Yeah. But then, people forget that you shouldn't mess around with the chefs. Granted, some places are complete asshats about customer service, but some people are just begging for it."

[forgottenfeline]

He nods in agreement. "I know the type."

And no, the narration's mother was not with anyone famous. Which is probably a good thing.

[aura-da-gamer.livejournal.com]

Neither was Aura's. But then, it is kind of funny to think that in someone's Crazyland, Alice Cooper is Aura's stepfather.

"Well, no time like the present to get to work on those catnip brownies. Come on, I'll let you lick the bowl."

Hey, as long as the customer's here, she might as well offer.
