Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel?

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob liked food, but he always had that. He also liked playing. He knew the others couldn't fly like he could, and that was sad, but Bart would come up with games they could play. This one was really fun, too. Bart had made wooden dowels, sanded smooth so that they didn't cause splinters, and would throw them. The only problem was he seemed to

Tony did have food. He had a half eaten apple in his hand, a towel over his shoulder, and he was heading for the beach. What he didn't expect was a massive disease ridden rat with wings to come swooping at him.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Tony ducked, waving his empty hand over his head, "Get it AWAY!"

[goldeneyedflash]

Oooh, an apple. Bob spread his wings to slow down as he dove, but then the man started making loud noises and waving his hands. He was one of those, how disappointing. Pulling up, he passed over his head to catch a low-flying branch in his thumbs, flipping to hang upside down facing him, wide eyes focused intently on the food.

Bob cocked his head to one side and made a chattering noise, one that always worked on Jill. And just about everyone else, too.

Tony wasn't just about everyone else. He was someone who'd caught the plague and almost died from it. Sure, from white powder in an envelope, but this... This was a rat with wings. They had diseases, he knew it.

Tony fell back on his ass, scrabbling away from the thing. "Get away. Shoo!"

[goldeneyedflash]

And just like that, Bob pounced. The apple, not the man. He really liked apples. After taking a couple bites he looked up, rather comically since bats can't really stand, and he had the apple in one foot.

He made a low hoot, trying to figure out what the man was up to, then took a careful step closer. Moving on the ground was hard.

Usually, nothing particularly eventful happened in the walk between the compound and the school - unless one counted the incident some time back when he'd got attacked by a dinosaur, that is. Therefore Remus wasn't expecting anything particularly out of the ordinary as he walked and peeled his banana.

The fruit was halfway to his mouth when he saw a bat headed in his direction. Hang on...a bat? He paused, mouth frozen open in surprise. Were there bats on the island? It was quite large, but no more intimidating than a thestral, so after a moment Remus held out the banana, thinking perhaps it was hungry.

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob pretty much sorted the world into people who had food, and those who didn't. Here was one with food, and so he was a friend. Whether the man with the outstretched banana was expecting to have a bat land on him didn't matter, because everyone liked him.

[furry_lil_prblm]

...and then the bat landed on him. Remus' eyes widened, not expecting that. "Er - hello there," he said to the bat. "Fancy a banana?"

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob chattered back at him, knowing people reacted better when he made sounds back. His attention, however, was on the banana, as he carefully inched over towards it.

One of the greatest things about this island was the bananas. They had been a luxury item in Berlin, but here they grew on the fucking trees. It was incredible and Alex had made up his mind long ago to take as much advantage of them as possible. Which meant eating as many as possible until the snow had put a stop to it, but he was back in full banana gorging form by now. Which meant he was walking up the path with a half eaten banana in hand and at least two others stuffed in his pockets.

Or at least he had been walking up until the point when he caught sight of the huge vampire bat thing like in Indiana Jones. Then he screamed and ducked, trying to protect his food.

[goldeneyedflash]

That looked like fun, Bob thought as he swooped past the human. He hooted happily as he started to turn and come back. Was this person trying to be smaller than he was for a reason? He had bananas, though. He should share, or at least Bob thought so. Everyone should always share with him.

[alex_kerner]

Ok, so Alex had to admit it was kind of cool. At least, it was now that it hadn't ripped his face off and sucked out all of his blood ten seconds ago. He held up the banana as a peace offering when it came round the second time.

[goldeneyedflash]

This human had potential for being trained, Bob thought as he landed where he could take the banana from his hand. Wolfing the fruit down, the bat made a chattering sound that might have been his version of a thank you.

Kate isn't sure that she'll ever be fond of walking around in the dark after...well, everything but laundry must be done. Especially underwear laundry. That's just a necessary. Of course, if she'd known that she would be attacked by a vicious giant flying rat, she might have stayed home.

She immediately drops down to the ground, underwear flying and lets out a terrified shriek.

[goldeneyedflash]

Flying underwear was not an obstacle course Bob was used to, and he gave his own shriek of surprise as one piece of clothing landed on his head. Landing on the nearest tree he could find, he clawed at the offending garment, calling loudly down at the person who threw such a horrible thing in his way.

[new_ophelia]

Kate continues to shriek as the giant fucking flying rat flings a shredded pair of underwear next to her and leans forward menacingly. She did not come this far to be eaten by a fucking bat or whatever that is. She picks up the nearest bra (the silkly black one, dammit) and flings it at the bat's head.

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob hissed at her, teeth flashing. This was not a nice person, and she didn't have any food for him, either.

She hadn't really been eating a lot lately. It wasn't because she wasn't hungry - alright, so she wasn't that hungry, but she'd been reading a lot. Sprout'd come with a whole bunch of information that her manual didn't have, and besides, she had a lot of sleep to catch up on.

But when her shorts were loose, she actually started to make a concerted effort to go to the kitchen and eat something, at least three times a day. If nothing else, it stopped Dairine from getting on her case.

And getting out a little wouldn't hurt, either. Nita took a bite out of her second apple, and squinted up at the stars that were appearing - they looked like the ones from Ralgath III today, and she made a little musing noise moments before the stars were abruptly blotted out by brown fur. She froze, the apple inches from her mouth, her brain taking longer to process what was flying towards her then it would take for him to get to her.

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob smelled the apple before he saw where it was, but he knew the person with it to. She'd petted him before. So he didn't turn aside, instead coming in for a soft landing on her, chattering a hello.

[wizard_alive]

Nita relaxed, and held out the apple, her voice low. "Hey, you." She peered around, her brows knitting. "Where's Bart?" She hadn't seen him- Well, except for him dropping off Sprout, she hadn't seen him. Fingers moved to scritch his ruff, wondering why she couldn't see him. They were usually together.

[goldeneyedflash]

Bob looked around, confused. Bart was lost, because he hadn't followed like he should. Nita had an apple for him, though. Everything was good. Bart could take care of himself, just like Bob could.
