Buddy Time: Lenny

[crazyforcrazies]

Well that was interesting wasn't it?  Haha, the captain has such a great sense of humor.

[Guy chuckles, then clears his throat and flips through his files.]

Now, let's see who's up next ...

LENNY!

(( OOC: Lenny will suddenly find himself whisked into Guy's office by the spa on deck two. The door is locked and completely unbreakable! There's a

[Blink. Blink Blink.

Lenny finds himself sitting comfortably on the couch. He looks around him. People. "Oh. Okay. Um.... Hi! I'm Lenny, and I'm a bird!" he would say, if he could talk.]

[crazyforcrazies]

Good afternoon, Le--

[There's a bird. On his couch.

Guy frowns.]

... hrm.

[He flips through the file and squints for a moment.

Well then. How he missed that his next patient would be a seagull was bemusing, but here they were, and he matched the file.]

Ah ... Lenny, correct?

[seagullmun]

[Lenny nods. The guys knows him, so no point in hiding anything. And he seemed to b-- "hey, cookies!" Lenny hops down from the couch over to the table, knocking over a cup of tea; he settles on the plate of biscuits and picks at the one on the top. "ooh, and the other ones. What if one's better than this one? I gotta get the best!"]

[crazyforcrazies]

[The bird nodded. Right, it can understand him then.

Guy purses his lips and gets up to rescue the teacup, finding a neat stack of serviettes and mopping up the spill before refilling it.]

Ah ... of course, help yourself to the biscuits.

[He scribbles a few notes, then chews on the end of his pen for a moment.]

Lenny. How do you ah ... communicate.

[seagullmun]

[Lenny sticks out his leg, showing his comm. "I type pretty good, yeah. Sometimes though I just do stuff and hope people get the message, like that game nobody likes to play but they do anyway. You know the one?" He breaks a biscuit into little crumbs, eats about half, and gets bored. "oooh, fishies!"]

[crazyforcrazies]

[Guy can't hear you, Lenny, but he can see you eyeing his fish. He takes a step to the side to cover up the fishtank and makes some notes. Very concerning.]

So you ah ... type? Text messages?

Hmm. This will make for an interesting session.

[seagullmun]

[Lenny turns his head down to his leg and pecks a few times against his comm. A message:]

Yep! I'm a typer.

[But-- hey, where'd the fish go? Lenny looks at every angle possible, but no dice- the fish are covered. "Aww, maaaan." He coos in disappointment.]

[crazyforcrazies]

[Guy leans over to read the comm, squinting at it. They made them that small?]

I see. Alright then Lenny, why don't you tell me about yourself, hmm?

[And don't you dare upset his fish. >:|]

[seagullmun]

[About himself? Not much to tell, really. He thinks, then types.]

Well, I fly a lot and I can read which is kinda cool for a bird, at least that's what the Major thinks. Oh- I got lots of friends, too! Link and Hazar and Kevas and the hairy guy Jared- homeless people usually are scary and mean but he isn't, I swear! And Mi--

[the bird stops typing. he turns away.]

[crazyforcrazies]

Friends are good.

[Guy makes notes, smiling and nodding as he reads, though he takes a moment to sit back and think, dropping a few sugar cubes into his teacup as he responds.]

And who, Lenny?

[seagullmun]

Nobody. Hey, wait a minute, Hazar says doctors are bad. What do you have to say about that, eh?

[Lenny tongues the spilled tea off the table. "Ew, Bitter!" He picks up a sugar cube and crunches it up. "But if he wanted to hurt me... too late to be careful now, I guess."]

I was gonna say Mimmi, but she left.

[crazyforcrazies]

[Guy frowns, then chuckles.]

Do you believe her? We're all just buddies here, Lenny. Nothing to worry about.

Mimmi ...

[He reaches for a file on the table and flips through it, scanning through a list before tapping his finger against it.]

Mimmi. Yes, she just arrived on the boat.

[seagullmun]

[Lenny returns to the couch holding in his beak three more sugar cubes. he drops them on the cushion, sits down with his legs out (he thinks he's people), and types a quick message.]

No, not that Mimmi, the one who was here before. And I guess doctors are okay sometimes. Just not when they're not. So don't be not okay, okay?

[he looks around the room.]

so... nice place!

[crazyforcrazies]

[Guy nods and makes a note, then circles it several times. Lenny does like his sugar cubes, but has an aversion to tea. Very interesting.]

And you were close with Mimmi?

[He chuckles.]

You can relax, we're just buddies here, just shootin' the breeze.

[He sips his tea and folds his legs. He's wearing gray socks with his sandals today.]

[seagullmun]

Yeah, she was my best friend. 'Cept I never told her anything. She didn't even know I was a bird.

[Lenny looks at the man's feet.]

You like going to the beach? There's always guys with shoes and socks like that at the beach. But they always go alone, no kids, no girls. Why not? What's wrong with them?

[crazyforcrazies]

Why didn't you tell her?

[Guy follows his gaze and wiggles his toes, then grins.]

Oh no! No no. They're really very comfortable. Good for my arches.

[He raises an eyebrow, then clears his throat.]

Ah, well let's go back to you, Lenny. Tell me about your upbringing.
