Study Hall -- Friday, November 11th

At the front desk, Sarah is killing time reading "Lucifer's Hammer" and shooting a dart gun with the little rubber darts at passing students without looking. The puppies and kittens are scampering around the floor in a playful mood, looking for people to pick them up.

"Hamsters are dumb. Why?"

"I'm thinking about getting Aeryn something more cuddly then sea monkeys. What's wrong with hamsters, Crunch?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"They're these little furry critters and they're well... hamsters." Cameron shrugs. "A suppose a ferret is a bit better."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I can't get her a dog, man. Too much for Aeryn right away. She freaked out enough when the sea monkeys came along."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"A ferret, mouse or a rat maybe. Chinchilla?" Cameron shrugs.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Mice and rats are out. If it got out, might freak half the dorm out. I was thinking of a ferret for her. Think Aeryn would like something like that?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I think the ferret sounds best, they're cooler and a bit bigger than something you need to hold in your hand." He tilts his head. "I don't know, man. She doesn't strike me as the pet keeping type, but that doesn't mean anything. She seems to like the seamonkeys enough so..."

"Parker said she might like one. Seemed awful sure of herself." John shrugs. "I dunno. She's had a rough time of it lately. I just wanna get her something that makes her smile."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"If Parker's sure, then she's probably right. If anyone can make Aeryn smile it's you, man."

"Me or heavy weaponry, at least." John laughs. "Gonna check out that fashion show tonight?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Dunno, not exactly my thing."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I'm goin. Lee's goin. It'll give you something to do besides thinking of that...other thing."

Kara sits down to study up before Physics. "Hamsters sound messy."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"They're lame. It's not like you can throw a stick and have them fetch it for you."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"What kinds of pets do they have in your section of the universe? I need something fairly easy to take care of."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

i have no idea

"My dad used to keep some fish. He probably still does," Kara replies. "You don't have to do much."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

you are no help!

"She's got sea monkeys. And fish die quick sometimes. I really don't wanna explain pet death to her just yet."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

"I think Aeryn understands the concept of death."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure she does but pet death is a different monster. I don't think's had pets at all before. And they can die easily. Not a conversation I wanna have right now."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara shrugs. "I never had a pet, so what would I know?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Want me to get you a hermit crab?"

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara gives him a questioning look. "Thanks, but I'll pass."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"They're cute little things. I can get you two and you can name them Kara Jr and Lee Jr."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"I thought that's what I was," Lee says with a self-depreciating laugh.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You're more of a sugar glider. You do your best work at night..." John smirks.
