[ Observing the network today is a lesson in every day of Yusuf's life sympathy? Compassion? Something of the sort. ]

I see the network has decided to appreciate the smarter of the two most common household companions. [ And for your viewing pleasure, you can have a shot of Pancake, who is going to town on a nearly empty jar of peanut butter and looking particularly ridiculous while doing so. ] I applaud you all.

[ Not so much "filtered" as loosely addressed to those of you who live in the house of dream criminals- I mean, the house. ]

Who ever has shopping duties this week should be aware that we have no more peanut butter.

Comments

[wouldnotkindly]

[Awww.]

I don't know, I think dogs are pretty smart too. [Er.] Usually.

[diastereomer]

[ Directing the video to the floor where Pancake has... decided to jazzercise??? ]



Usually would seem the key word here.

video;

[hexuality]

[Yeah, she's got an armful of cream-coloured cat. There's also a tawny owl in the background eyeing the pair with something of a mournful air.]

Appreciate, yeah. But I think my owl's getting jealous.

video;

[diastereomer]

[ Aww what a cute kitty c: Too bad Rhada is no where to be found- not that the network really needs to be inundated with more pictures of Yusuf's cat... ]

Does your owl make a habit of watching the network posts?

[wouldnotkindly]

[Awwwww.]

They make up for it in cuteness, though. [Uh.] And loyalty, I guess.

[diastereomer]

[ Yusuf: master at getting unintended reactions... ]

I suppose so, considering his owner I can imagine he was adopted for his levity. [ Because no one can deny Pancake's cuteness, not even Yusuf. ] He seems most loyal to whomever holds his food scoop.

action; BECAUSE WE OBVS NEED MORE THREADS

[boutant]

[ Waffle is perched on her shoulder, Biscuit nowhere to be found -- last Ariadne saw him, he was sitting in Arthur's arms and looking rather unhappy about it. ]

I vote Eames, since apparently Tony's decided to vanish -- which means work is going to be a little crazier than usual -- and Arthur has his arms full of cats.

[wouldnotkindly]

[Really, it's either that or Jack is the master of giving unintended reactions.

Anyway, Jack laughs.] Well, he is an animal. [And then a beat.] Who owns him?

action; /ATTEMPTS TO KEEP IT... PG......

[diastereomer]

[ Same with Rhada, though not in Arthur's arms because woah two cats too many in one point man's possession- she's just nowhere to be found. As if she knew today was a good day to hide in someone's closet lest snuggles be inflicted upon her... ]

On second thought perhaps I should do it, since Eames decided to [ What do you call a shouting match with another man in a bread aisle?? ] declare handbags at dawn with that other guy.

[ Pancake is still wiggling on the floor, happily staring up at them despite neither of them paying him all that much attention and his owner off somewhere attending to ginger kittens. ] Do you suppose he's incapable of jealousy or just hyped up from the peanut butter?

action; HAHAHAHA

[boutant]

Declare handbags? [ You people are so weird. On her shoulder, Waffle chirps once before squawking "lemon!", as if to help prove her point. ]

Pancake? Probably just hyped up. Or waiting for one of us to rub his belly. [ Pause. ] Then again, he's also really easily distracted.

[diastereomer]

Arthur, [ And because Yusuf a) doesn't know Arthur's last name, and b) probably wouldn't be allowed to relay it if he did, he decides to describe him. ] Works at the casino- eight out of ten times he's the one wearing a waistcoat in a crowd of people wearing jeans.

[ What are... defining features.... ]

action;

[diastereomer]

[ A small grin at her tone. ] Well we should be hoping its not more than that- he doesn't take well to house arrest.

[ The force of gravity on Pancake's face is causing the whites of his eyes and the tips of his teeth to show- upside down corgi is somehow more amusing than right-side up corgi... ] Easily entertained too...

Did you say Tony's gone?

action;

[boutant]

[ Grinning right back, the brat. ] No, but at least he got out of the last one through you burning down the apartment.

Well, he is a dog. [ She'd bend down to rub his belly herself if Waffle weren't on her shoulder. ]

Yeah. I guess he made Rhodey the CEO. I'll be in tomorrow trying to get everything settled -- we've lost a lot of the staff this past month. [ So you know Yusuf, if you want to bring her coffee or something... ]

action;

[diastereomer]

The law enforcement here was surprisingly lenient about that. [ A small blush-- GOSH ARIADNE HE'S SENSITIVE ABOUT THAT :c ]

Not to say that a frayed ribbon isn't the worlds most threatening force to ours. [ Wouldn't Waffle just crawl onto her back or latch himself onto her hair? (Birds are weird and not Yusuf's thing.) ]

So I see. Honestly I am about ready to get Eames in to forge half my paperwork since I can never get my reinstallment forms to reach the right people. [ Not that he doesn't have work to do... but he could. ]

action;

[boutant]

They probably forgot, everyone else was forgetting things that day. Besides, it's not like they have a jail around here. [ c: and here gadgets stops herself from saying something inappropriate about yusuf blushing HAHA keeping things PG... ]

Or a sock. [ No, he'd probably try to sit on Pancake. Because like Pancake, Waffle is sometimes a bit of an idiot. ]

If there's forms to fill out, hand them to me. I'll take care of it. [ Perks of being a department head. ] And I like you more than I like most of my staff, so don't worry about it.

action;

[diastereomer]

Which is actually quite strange... [ Considering in their own world, they would all be tried in a criminal court of law- if most of them even got that kind of judicial courtesy. ]

Speaking of which, I believe someone gifted me one of yours this morning. [ Offhanded, more a reminder to himself to give it back to her next time he's in the basement and not lounging in the living room. ]

That's reassuring. [ Ah, now Yusuf understands why she seems particularly happy on days she's working in heavy boots and grease-stained shirts, as opposed to her cardigan and neckerchief days. ] Is it because I stay out of your hair? [ Well... mostly... at least at work... ]

action;

[boutant]

I try not to think about it too much. Besides, what sort of prison could hold in a vampire, you know? [ No really, she wants to see that kind of prison. ]

I'll have to get that back from you. [ There's a bit of a smile there. She likes the basement; it's one of the parts of the house with the most personality. ]

I've never caught you watching porn while you're on the clock. I think Tony had a video of their reactions when I showed up behind them saved, actually.

[wouldnotkindly]

Huh. [Honestly, that's descriptive enough for Jack.] Can't say I've ever been down there before.

[signatures]

If this dog goes into cardiac arrest, I'm telling Arthur it's your fault.

[diastereomer]

Is the straw held responsible for the camel's broken back?

[synanthrope]

Is that good for dogs?

action;

[diastereomer]

One with... holy water sprinkled around it? [ The skepticism in his voice, can you hear it? He shrugs, vampires not really being his problem. ] I guess they would have to get creative.

If only they could learn which socks went where, then I could leave the hamper out and they could go to town.

[ UHHHH......... ] That is.. ah, probably ill-advised around corrosive chemicals... so, no worries there.

[diastereomer]

There is nothing particularly harmful in it. I suppose an argument could be made about the calories, but he's really only licking the proverbial mixing spoon.

[synanthrope]

I suppose I wouldn't know.

I don't really care for dogs.

[diastereomer]

You seem to get along well enough with cats. [ Which is to say... Rhada. ]
