Never one to say no to pizza and cake, Tempe grabbed a bit of both and headed to her usual table. Today, her nose was in a textbook, as she ate. Sure, it's the middle of summer, but that doesn't mean she can't start learning a bit early, right?

Walter came in after his trip to the library (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/963381.html?thread=51104309#t51104309) and set a stack of books down before he went to fetch a lot of everything to keep him company while he read, ate, and took notes.

Funny that, it had just occurred to Pippi that she hadn't eaten lunch in the Caf for a while.

"Hey you. Whatcha doing?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Doing something that means I don't have to go outside. I've done enough of that today." He shifted most of the books around so she could see their spines. Apparently he was preparing for war by learning how to arm one singlehandedly.

"How are you?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi shrugged.

"I'm a little worried about Phoebe and Bel... Other then that I'm okay, I guess."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded. "Bel isn't going to do anything foolish, is he? It sounds to me that Phoebe's the way she is right now because of mucking about with spells she shouldn't have been."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Like I said, he was talking about making a deal with the Sea Hag. Which has plenty of opportunity for foolishness."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"From my experiences with Bel, it doesn't seem as though he's the 'listen to reason' type." He shrugged. "If it were my girlfriend, I might not be, either."

Because he was always so rational when it came to Nadia, after all.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Might?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I might listen to reason if it made sense," Walter said, good-naturedly making a face at her.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Sure you would." she grinned back at him.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"If everyone would just accept that I know best, things would be so much simpler." Which was mostly a joke.

Mostly.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'll keep that in mind for the future."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter had a big bite of pizza and nodded while he chewed, finally saying, "You do that."

He flipped his book closed and put it on top of the stack. "Do you know anything about those springy things in the dorm? Pup's going to go crazy trying to figure out how to impale the one that got into our room.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"They're called 'Slinkys'. They're toys, but I only ever seen 'em walk down stairs, not up 'em!"

Just then, a Slinky slinked its way into the cafiteria.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up at the telltale sheeng sheeng sound. "A slinky, huh? It reminds me of the muppet chickens that just appeared out of nowhere."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's strange huh." Pippi said as the slinky seemed to "look" around the room and then started slinking in their direction.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter eyed the slinky, but coiled wire? Sort of his thing.

"And they're toys? So I shouldn't be expecting that this one is going to try to garrote me, right?"

Cally entered the lunchroom. After grabbing some pizza, cheese fries, and cake, she ended up sitting across from Tempe.

"Hey," Cally said. "I don't think I've met you."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"No, they're made for kids so they're actually not really sharp at all."

The slinky has made its way over to where Pippi is sitting and is bumping against her leg, not unlike a cat.

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

Tempe shook her head and then swallowed the bite of pizza. "Nope, I don't think so."

Then, sticking a hand out for Cally to shake, Tempe said, "I'm Tempe."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook Tempe's hand and smiled. "I'm Cally," she said. "You eat in here often?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter leaned over to watch the slinky and frowned in puzzlement. "It seems to want your attention."

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

"Almost every day," was Tempe's reply, around a mouthful of pizza. She chewed and swallowed. "It's a way of attempting to be social, without actually going and actively seeking out people."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"A-ha," Cally said, smiling. "No wonder I've not really seen you around. Trying to be a hermit, huh?"
