There's sand in my popcorn.

[ A slight shrug, and she dumps the handful before setting the bucket aside. She seems to have not noticed the fact that she's wearing makeup, a short red dress, or fishnets. Instead, she's acting like it's a totally normal day. And it is. It's just... sexier than usual. ]

I guess I shouldn't be eating popcorn before lunch anyway. I'll pick some more up later; hopefully it'll be sand-free.

((ooc: Feel free to reply to her post or to bump into her out and about; she'll be buying herself some popcorn and doing a few other things before heading home. Also this is why I shouldn't write posts at 2 am.))

Well, Yusuf's cat, technically.

[ Because there's no way Biscuit could have done that to her arm. ]

[feorge]

And does Yusuf's cat happen to have a particularly menacing hook for a paw?

[ Because Fred has the very vague feeling that This Does Not Make Sense. ]

[boutant]

Have you seen her? She's huge.

[feorge]

Must be, to manage that monstrosity.

[boutant]

She nearly took down a fawn.

[ Granted the fawn was Arthur, but, well. Still. ]

[feorge]

So then you've rather been attacked by a lion.

[ Sounds like Crookshanks. And all the more fishy. ]

[boutant]

Well, the fawn was trying to drink out of her saucer of milk.

[ She will go with this cat thing as long as she can. ]

[feorge]

[ ... uh huh. ]

Oh, do continue. I love a good story about the struggles between fawn and lioness. Always have a happy ending.

[boutant]

Only because I intervened before she could murder him.

[ She shakes her head. ]

My roommates and I seem to have a habit of being turned into animals.

[feorge]

That how you ended up with a hoove to the arm?

[boutant]

Yeah. I was turned into a cheetah and I was really, really hungry.

[feorge]

... You didn't.

[boutant]

Eat the horse? No, being kicked and having its rider shoot at me were enough to make it clear that was a bad idea.

[feorge]

[ He can't help it, he has to laugh. ]

So much for a pleasant supper.

[boutant]

[ It's okay, she can laugh about it now. ]

On the bright side, they led me to some chickens.

[feorge]

D'you mean to say you went hunting after chickens? They couldn't just fetch some catnip or some such?

[boutant]

Catnip doesn't exactly make a hungry cheetah stop being hungry.

[feorge]

Sure, but it ought to have you batting at yarn rather than your mates, right?

[boutant]

Not if I was that hungry. I tried to eat my pet bird.

[feorge]

Blimey. Perhaps you ought to invest in cages, then.

[boutant]

He was in a cage. That didn't stop me from trying.

[feorge]

Rather meant for you, not the bird.

[boutant]

That would've been a good idea, but instead they chased me out of the house.

[feorge]

Give us a ring next time. I'm sure George'd love to show you all the spells we have to restrain you.

[boutant]

I wouldn't need to be cursed for that.
