[ Ariadne is most definitely not in her room; in fact, to those who may recognize it, she is definitely in Simon and Seth's apartment. She's definitely not wearing anything that belongs to her, either; she's got one of Simon's shirts on, the collar currently crooked as she presses some ice to her shoulder. There's a bruise in the shape of a horse hoof there. When she speaks, her voice is louder than normal, like she's trying to hear herself. ]

I really want to apologize to everyone whose pets or... selves... I may have tried eating over the weekend. I was all cheetah and couldn't stop myself. To the owner of the now-missing chickens, I'm willing to pay you back, if you'd like.

[ She shifts, only to grimace, hand moving to her ribs for a moment. Ow. ]

Someone please tell me Waffle's okay. I'll be home soon, once moving stops hurting so much and the ringing in my ears goes away.

[ SOB HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW. ]

I don't think we ate anyone.

[boutant]

[ AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T GET KICKED BY A HORSE, SIMON. ]

I really hope we didn't eat anyone.

[hexuality]

Godric's balls, Ariadne. What happened?

[boutant]

It's a long story.

[ But she'll tell it. ]

I was turned into a cheetah, tried to eat my pet bird, was kicked and shot at to get me out of the house, ended up trying to hunt things with two other big cats, wrecked an apartment, tried to hunt a man on a horse, got kicked by the horse, got shot at again, went back to the apartment where no one was trying to kill me, fell asleep with the other big cats, and woke up only to discover that we'd all changed back without any clothes on.

[withloadedguns]

Is that what that wildcat's called?

[boutant]

Yeah. They're from Africa. [ Another wince as she shifts. ] Fastest land mammal on Earth.

[punchedhitler]

You tried to eat your own bird?

[boutant]

I was a cheetah, Steve.

[thepointyend]

Why were you trying to eat anyone?

[boutant]

I was a big cat. The spotted yellow one.

You alright? Tea's on if you want it.

[Seth's nearly as beat-up as Ariadne is. After they split he enjoyed a relaxing day hanging out in a tree in Xanadu. There are a few upsides to being one of the lazier kinds of jungle cats. He does look pretty haggard, and clearly hasn't shaved yet today.]

[boutant]

I'll be okay.

[ She's going to try to move to get some of that tea, only to wince again. Come on, Ariadne. Tea. It was just Eames (sort of). And a horse. And a lot of loud noises. ]

Thanks, though.

[signatures]

Not a baby cheetah, I suspect.

[boutant]

No. A big one.

So that wasn't you who kicked me, then?

[audio:]

[charring]

You need anything? [There are faint fwooshing sounds in the back and Charlie might sound a bit cheerful.]

[boutant]

I don't think so. Eames is going to bring me something to wear.

[dr_conscience]

Are you sure you don't want to get looked at? I could probably get you something that would make moving hurt a bit less.

[boutant]

My roommate's coming over with pants and then he's forcing me to the hospital.

[guardianjoker]

A cheetah? Wow, that sounds like it must have been some curse. Are you going to be okay?

[boutant]

I should be. My roommate's making me go to the hospital to get checked out, but I think it's all just bruised.

[fatespoken]

I hope you didn't eat your cat, otherwise I'm calling you a hypocrite.

[boutant]

No, he's fine. Still waiting for confirmation on if my pet bird is okay, though.

[orangetoughguy]

Hey. How you feelin'?

[boutant]

Like I got kicked in the ribs, kicked by a horse, and had a lot of people shoot guns at me.

[nohometown]

You were completely changed in mind and body? Quite a severe curse. [He's still concerned about losing his own mind, but he's also concerned for her welfare.]

Do you need any medical help? I could alleviate your pain.

[boutant]

Yeah. Luckily I remember what I did, though it's all sort of... distant. [ Filtered through the mind of a cheetah to the mind of a 23 year old human. ]

One of my roommates is bringing me something to change into and then he's taking me to the hospital. I guess I should make sure nothing's broken. Thank you for the offer, though.

[eversohandsome]

Bloody hell. You alright? ...sounds like a bit of a wild one.

[boutant]

I think so. [ No. ] I'm going to go get checked out just in case.

[ She's going to move that icepack now though, grimacing as she studies the bruise on her shoulder. ]
