VB whacks the drool off of Purplebears’ chin, and then settles down to watch Pandora sleep, her upper lip pooching out so cutely, and plots revenge for the morning…

Thanks for the honey, Pandora, but it’s just not the same, you know. Leaning over to set it down, she is suddenly whacked across the mouth, and falls back into the pillows again.

Then, while VB’s back is turned, watching Pandora sleep, pbear reaches down for one of the pillows, finding a really hard one, and _ **THWUMPS** _ him upside his head, making him fall down onto the pillows between Pandora and pbear. Turn your back on _ME_, willja!!

Hi, GBS! Come sit down with me and let’s chat a while, seems like everyone else left again!

Soulsling, payback. red\_dragon whaps him with a large but moderately soft object. He chuckles as it bowls soulsling over. PB, thanks for the help. Now, red moves on to vogue. He won’t be leaving without a fight. He grabs one of Katt’s water balloons and pegs vogue square on the chest. Ahh, youthful rebellion.

\<stretches and wonders if she should go find the coffee pot\>

Oh… and Soulsling darling… I never said that I was the original owner of these pillows…  
Just that they are mine now (possession is 9/10ths of the law you know 🙂 )

Anyway… I never said I wouldn’t share… you didn’t ask \<pout\>

_wanders in slightly damp from her hot shower getting all the honey, feathers and chocolate off and she wrinkles her nose at the way her bare feet stick to the ground_ Eeewie  
_hears soulsling looking for the showers_ They’re that-a-way _points in the direction she came from_ There might not be much hot water left though.

_when Occam walks in the water bucket falls on him from where it was set up over the door and she tosses flour on him_

Hmmm coffee again. You guys are gonna get me addicted again. _doesn’t have coffee much irl just cuz she doesn’t have a proper coffee pot and is too lazy to put the kettle on for instant which doesn’t taste the same_
