Room 412; Thursday Evening.
Planning to do some work with Eleanor, her Western style sword, tomorrow, Setsuna had set up some incense around the room, lit it and meditated while going through some ancient Western myths to help herself get better attuned to the nature of the sword. Really, technically, she should bother Peter about some Narnian myths since it was a Narnian sword, and made a note to do so soon. For now, she'd just stick with things that might help her get into a classically Western mindset with The Poems of the Elder Edda, which she found worked well for building mantras, whispered very quietly under her breath, in carefully pronounced English.

"Always as a young man I traveled alone, and I would lose my way; I felt I was rich if I made a friend -- no man by himself is happy."

[[ Days like this are strange. I'm off to get hyper on coffee and speak in German for an hour, then back to locate primary sources regarding the Soviet dismantling of the economy of East Germany, and will require slowly-played distractions :) in other words: open, but distractedly so. ]]

John was running around in the hallway with a definite "GEDDITOFFF! GEDDITOOOOOOOFF!" sound coming out of his vocal hole.

He's almost wearing a suit of the mini-pengers they're so many on him.

Which was rather distracting for someone trying to meditate, but Setsuna did her best to ignore it.

John collapses outside her door. Rather noisily.

And Setsuna, being a good little samurai engaged in meditation, continued to try to ignore it.

John manages to free a hand and scratches and knocks at the door as he's covered in a living carpet of pengypens.

Finishing up another mantra ("A man should be faithful to a friend and to the friends of a friend; it is unwise to offer friendship to a foe's friend."), Setsuna sighed lightly and realized that whatever it was in the hallway had somehow managed to come to be focused on her door and she probably had an obligation to check it out. She carefully rose to her feet and went to the door to open it.

To John, on the floor in the hallway, covered in little tiny penguins.

The urge to just shut the door again was strong. Very strong.

"...You okay?" she asked, instead.

The penguins jumped exitedly. And happily. And then did the wave, from John's head to his toes, back to his head, and then back to his toes with a split halfway so that there were two waves.

"No." he said, muffled.

Setsuna knelt beside John and waved her hands at the penguins, in a manner that suggested she'd push them if they didn't heed her demand of, "Shoo! Go on! Get off of him."

The penguins responded by building a small flightless bird pyramid that would bring a tear to the eyes of the Gremlin cheerleaders. John? Boggling.

Setsuna wondered if she was the type of person that would refuse to hit something just because it was cute.

Nope.

She flicked her fingers at the top of the penguin pyramid. "I said off."

With a quirked eyebrow, Setsuna turned to the penguins as though they could verify this fact.

The penguins affirmed by doing somersaults and splits. John would flail if it didn't mean squishing them.

Setsuna considered this; their reaction seemed to her to prove that they might be somewhat intelligent, or at least able to comprehend her. "Little penguins?" she asked, as politely and perhaps even a little cutely. "Would you mind terribly to not be doing all these fun little tricks on top of my friend John here? It would be much easier for him to enjoy them if you he could see them better, wouldn't you think?"

Half the penguins agreed, and waddled off of John, forming a rough circle. The other half disagreed, and started dancing in circles hunched over with one occasionally jumping and chirping before being quieted by the others, all very rhythmically.


"...Help!" John said in a meek voice.

Setsuna's hand went to her mouth to prevent her from laughing a little. "Oh, come on, John. They're rather weetiny. Can you even really feel them doing that?"

"It tickles a bit. ...and I think I'm powerless against the cute!" he flailed helplessly, trying not to laugh.

Setsuna arched an eyebrow at him. What a dork.

"You don't have to when you're the cuter one!"
How are they managing to be dancing in synch like that? Why does it look like they want wee!tiny switchblades?

Were they...snapping? They didn't have fingers, how could they snap?

Not that that mattered. Setsuna was too busy giving John a look like he was crazy. "Just for that, now I know I shouldn't help." And she stood up, straightened her skirt a little.

John was watching one of the penguins near his foot stare forlornly at one of the penguins in the circle as the two groups stared daggers at each other. And danced like a weapon.

John looks up Setsuna's skirt since, helloooo fanservice! at Setsuna, his eyes narrowed a bit as he stared at her face. Yep. Totally at her face. "You'd leave me here like this?"

"For calling me cute?" Setsuna said. "Yes. You're interupting my mediations, anyway."

"Fiiiiine. Just leave me here to the mercy of these horrible horrible creatures," he smirked at her. "And tell Ranma I said hi next time you see him."

Setsuna sighed; partially for the fact that Ranma was sometimes so anti-social that even she didn't see him for a bit, and then partially, a very different sort of sigh, for the fact that when she did see him, she certainly had better things to do than tell him that John wants him says hi.

She observed the penguins again before looking back over to him. "You're a strong guy, John, I think you can handle them."

John just lay there, helpless. "Too cute to move!" He looked down at the dancing figures, and then up at Setsuna. "I guess I'll deal with 'em myself," he said, wondering how he'd be able to get up without sqooshing 'em.

"No prob," John said getting one last look at her Hello Kitty panties as she flounced off huffily. "If I'm still here in the morning, rescue me. Or bring food."
