[ 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.

[He gets her a mug anyway. He's a northerner. They believe tea cures everything.]

We're out of milk, sorry.

That's fine.

[ But since he's brought it to her, she can sink back down and just sip it. ]

[He sits across from her with his own tea. Man, this is awkward.]

Er, sorry if... when we woke up - I really didn't mean to be...

[ She might be feeling more awkward if she was in less pain. ]

It was a curse. None of us could really help it.

Right. I haven't really been cursed like that before.

I was a cheetah cub last time and still knew who I was. That was... a lot easier.

And I didn't, uh, wake up like that, either.

I though maybe I was getting a little to old to go waking up naked in a living room.

In a pile of other people, no less.

[ At least it had been warm, up until they all realized what was going on. ]

Like I said. Getting a bit old, really.

You're not that old. [ She thinks. ]

Isn't there a rule about no orgies after 25?

Not that I've heard, unless that's something they only tell you when you turn 25.

Must be that, then.

I guess I'll find out in two years.

Suppose you've got enough time to fit in a few more orgies before then.

[ That gets a laugh out of her. ] Yeah, maybe. Not sure how the guy I'm seeing feels about them, though.

Never hurts to ask.

I'm not sure I'd really want to, to be honest.

Just know, you're missing your last chance.

I'll consider it.

You do that.
