Monday Morning Multipup!

[a_mere_child]

In and around Milliways this morning, one finds:

a piece of software at the Bar with an energy shake and a VidWindow;
a pregnant woman at a table covered in electronic bits;
a Warehouse agent in a booth with a crossoword puzzle;
a combat droid tromping through fresh-fallen snow by the lakeside;
and a black cat curled up on the seat of the armchair

The software might find himself getting something cold and soft hit on the back of his head. And hear giggling following after it from the door to the backyard.

Someone just found a fresh patch of snow outside.

"Owww!" Bob looks around wildly, rubbing the back of his head. "What the...?"

[tyler_marlocke]

...there is a small someone who is looking like he was a cat who got into the cream, peering from behind the door to the back area.

You know Bob, Tyler never did get to finish that snowball fight with you.

[mend_and_defend]

That wasn't his fault! It was the Angels! Blame them!

Bob spots the movement and an evil grin spreads across his face.

Ginny is walking to the fire place and notices the cat. Then stops to see if it's friendly by putting her hand near it.

[withhistailhigh]

The cat doesn't react. It seems to be asleep, or at least pretending to be.

[missginnytonic]

Ginny scratches the cat behind it's ears softly.

[withhistailhigh]

The cat stirs a little and regards Ginny through half-lidded yellow-green eyes.

"Petting sleeping animals is an ill-advised activity."

The noise makes Artie whirl around in his seat.

The sight makes him jump so hard he almost knocks the table over.

[doyousmellfudge]

"You--I--what--??"

[brave_kreyu]

Once she's gotten in some R&R in her draconic form, Kreyu resumes her favorite human shape and wanders back into the Bar.

She spots Alyx, and heads over to see what she's doing with all of those strange bits of metal.

[a_mere_child]

Alyx is currently in the process of trying to solder some wires to a circuit board. Whether Kreyu will recognize what's going on is questionable; even if she knows what a circuit board is, this one is decidedly weird-looking.

[brave_kreyu]

Kreyu has no idea what she's looking at. Is it jewelry or art of some kind?

"Hello," she says at a moment when Alyx isn't actively soldering anything.

[a_mere_child]

"Hm?" Alyx glances up. "Oh, hi. I don't think we've met."

[gone_byebye]

Oooooooh. Electronic bits.

Don't mind Ray, he used up all his manners at a State Department meeting earlier today.

[a_mere_child]

Alyx is, for the moment, too focused on soldering to notice she has company.

That is, until her finger slips a little. Then she's too busy swearing.

[gone_byebye]

"Ouch." Ray winces, sucking his breath between his teeth. "Need a first aid kit? --hi, Alyx."

[a_mere_child]

"Nnng... just some ice please?" says Alyx between gritted teeth.
