045 x 540 // video/action // family day (backdated saturday)

[dignity_misery]

[[ooc; Carla's two dogs Rex (sandurufu) and Peanut (fluffanut) have been effected by the Family Day curse, they will be little boys for the weekend (pretend I posted this yesterday.)]]

[This video begins with two little faces, neither of which are Carla and both of whom seem to be aware that they are playing with something that doesn't belong to them. There are a pair of little boys smiling impishly, one with red hair and another little brunette with chipmunk cheeks.]


[The little redhead addresses the camera excitedly,]

We're gonna surprise mom.

[The other boy nods in agreement,]

Pancakes. We're gonna make pancakes.

[They gather themselves up then, the camera giving a full view of Carla's beachside flat as they make their way into her well-lit kitchen area. They weren't joking about the pancakes. Once they've set the camera on the kitchen table, they begin to scale the counters and cabinets, getting all the ingredients together before proceeding to make an epic mess everywhere, an entire bag of flour exploding in a cloud.

They've only just begun to fry them up, smoke billowing up as they burn, fire alarm beginning to whine, when Carla comes home. She's silent in the door, both boys lifting their heads from their work to stare at her attentively.]

Hi, mommy.

We made breakfast!

[When Carla replies, she sounds earnestly confused and possibly a bit anxious, rocked in her usual calm,]

What the fuck is this.

PARK
[ You can make the dog a boy, but you can't take the dog out... Carla is watching her pair of 'sons' chase squirrels in the park. They're having a fabulous time, she looks a bit nauseous. ]

CANDY STORE
[ I don't think dogs are supposed to eat this much chocolate... Where is this duo's mother? ]

DINER
[ Dogs can haz cheeseburgers though. They are also greeting everyone who walks by, by name if they happen to have sniffed you before. Carla has her head in her hands lethargically eating a basket of french fries. ]

EVERYWHERE ELSE
[ Really. Go for it. ]

[sandurufu]

[ There are now little voices interrupting............ ]

Hi, Mister Eames! Are you coming to visit?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Oh, goodness!

Might've left those on the stove just a bit too long, boys... [Chandela sounds rather helpless (which she is, technically, as she's only watching this scene unfold on a screen).] ...

[Video]

[sandurufu]

[Being the leader of this little adventure, Rex is quick to assure her,]

They'll be okay!

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

... has your mother taken them already?

[Hopefully not to eat!]

Action - Park

[fiveagainstradley]

[ David is out walking his dog Chew, and the dog-like-soul-thing Cara that showed up yesterday. He thinks the boys chasing squirrels is a bit funny, but kids are kids so he doesn't pay them too much mind. ]

[sandurufu]

[ The boys notice this little convoy and are very eager to greet Chew, although they will be giving that daemon a wide berth. ]

Hi!

[ Both of the kids vibrate with energy, like they'd be wagging tails if they till had them. ]

Who are you? What's your name?

[Although they don't have any particular preference for who answers.]

[fiveagainstradley]

Oh, hello. I'm David. And this is Chew, and that's Cara.

[eggsac]

Hullo?

[sandurufu]

Hello!

[Beaming totally friendly.]

Do you know how to make pancakes?

[Because apparently they don't.]

[eggsac]

No, my nanny makes me breakfast.

Park

[oceantrauma]

[Ken attempted to have a peaceful stroll in the snow. Of course, a black cat against white snow rather stands out. And...there's something about those boys. Sure, they look human, but there's something in his gut that tells him to avoid them.]

[That just makes him even more curious, though. Paws making a little noise in the snow, he tries to approach without being noticed. Just to observe, that's all!]

[sandurufu]

[Peanut is the first to notice... but he doesn't have much compunction to chase a cat... It's Rex who is a total spaz and comes rushing over.]

[oceantrauma]

Wha! [Ken raises up, back hunching and backs away.]

You don't look threatening...?

Park;

[worldofourown]

[ His face is slack and his hands are dangling at his sides. What the fuck? ]

[ Seriously. ]

[ What. The. Fuck? ]

... Babysitting?

[dignity_misery]

That's Peanut. And Rex.

[Her voice is flaaaat.]

[worldofourown]

You're joking.

[ Except he can, in fact, smell traces of her pets on the brats, supplanted by the scent of happy, dusty human children. His look shifts to one of pale unease. He pities you, Carla. ]

[ Deeply. ]

DINER

[intheblanks]

[He's only stopping by to get a couple of those giant sized sandwiches for carry-out, and a tray of cupcakes.]

[sandurufu]

[They both know him. He is the bringer of treats and scritchies and Mommy's good mood. Although the latter is not guaranteed, and Rex knows this. However, he is a friendly sort of boy.]

Hi, Doctor Chase!

[Peanut waves too, sheepishly pleased to see him.]

Hi.

[Carla has her nose scrunched where she's hidden in her hands. God damn it.]

[intheblanks]

[Chase hasn't even noticed her, though he lowers the cupcakes he'd initially suspected had attracted the small people when it turns out they know his name. He doesn't know theirs, and cants his head, curiously.]

Hi. [It's a familiar tone even if they're not.] what are you two up to today?

DINER (hope you don't mind how late this is)

[virginwings]

[Being greeted by cheerful children is one thing, but by one who actually calls her by name and is sitting with Carla is another. Gazelle's casual smile drops and replaces itself with an unsure expression.]

Do you know me?

I do not mind!

[sandurufu]

[Carla's eyes narrow at the girl, but Rex speaks up,]

Hi, Gazelle! We play all the time!

[virginwings]

Eh? Since when?
