\<wacks red dragon with her pillow\>

that’s for getting me when I wasn’t looking last night!

\<thinks soulsling is getting entirely too comfortable… begins planning a quick strike attack to get those pillows\>

but perhaps offering to lick his fingers for him may be a suitable distraction…

But at that moment, Pandora and Soulsling are caught off guard by a large pillow flying at them. “you guys were haveing too much fun,” red\_dragon quips. Chocolater and honey cover everything in sight.

Still trying to blink the water out of her eyes from Topaze’s squirt, purplebear _YELPS_ from the stinging swat from VB! **HEY!!!** Starting to turn, she then gets pelted by Pandora next…YIPES!

Thanks dragon, for the help with VB! He needed that for swatting me with his bare hand.\<rubbing her tush, which is still stinging\>

While Pandora’s distracted with the dragon, PB sneaks up behind her and hits her across the back of her knees with her pillow, knocking her down to the floor at dragon’s feet. Oops! I didn’t mean to knock you down. So, she leans over to help her up, almost causing dragon’s eyes to pop out at the sight of her damp cleavage.

\<wow, the board was down, so I ran off to the showers, and all kinds of stuff happens! gotta catch up on the action!\>

While VB is distracted with KimKatt, purplebear quietly comes up behind him and cuts him off at the knees with her pillow. Take **THAT**! For swatting me earlier.

Running away to hide and see who else she can get…what’s this? Did somebody say _chocolate_?? Her eyes start to glaze over just a little…haven’t had any chocolate in months…drooling onto her shirt now…

_smiles at Pandora helping herself to a little chocolate and eats it then looks at vogue innocently when she walks in still covered in honey a little ring of chocolate around her mouth a couple of feathers sticking to her_ Yes? I didn’t do anything… _does the whole innocent look an evil glint in her eye and she twaps vogue with her pillow_ Ha HA!

Thanks, KimKatt! Heeheheee! purplebear starts heading towards VB when…_ **THUMP** _ she suddenly finds herself on the floor on top of a bunch of pillows. Looking to see who tripped her, she spies Pandora trying to hide, and pelts her with a few of the water balloons. Take **THAT**! And keep that chocolate away from me…well, maybe just a little wouldn’t hurt…\<no, no, no! must be strong, must be…\>

Eyes getting glazed over at the thought of chocolate, the sweet taste of chocolate…purplebear slowly lays back on the pillows and drools…

\< gives PB the honey instead…while carefully hiding the chocolate\>

I wouldn’t want to be accused of tempting people 😛

Now stop drooling all over my pillows PB!
