Ickle Meatships!

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Hopefully no one sues me for semi-stealing the SLEEP meme format but!



ICKLE!

Think about or think back on the childhood days/younger days of your character (or your character now if they already are kids). There's a huge playroom with a mountain of toys....

Have fun, Kids! And no fightings!

Eee?

::Chirp. Oh. Ew! No...right. No biting. Hence the 'blech' face. And...ohh, so that's how.
The bluething lets Bee guide his hand/paw. He may not know English but he's a decently quick learner. Hence the sniff-finding (carefully) for more blocks::

Bee. Eee!

Jeez, this kid did need help. "No no, you get presents every year on your birthday. You are not born all over again every year, obviously, so you get presents on the same day. Like my birthday is the sixteenth of September."

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Eeee. Tehll? Tehll.

::Chirrup. Then an ear-twitch and a nod. Oh, don't mind the collar on his neck. No tags::

Rrrrrehnne!

"Yeah, sure." Steve dribbled the ball a few times, then passed it over to her. "How many baskets can you do in a minute?"

"It's squishy like... it's not hard science? You know, it's not biology or chemistry or physics or something, it's more like what Dr. Muller does." Wyn says, furiously waving her hands in an effort to explain.

Wyn heard that comment, Brainy, and she doesn't like it one bit. "Hey, leave my brother alone!" she says, giving the Coluan a sharp look. "If you were really trying to improve your social skills, you'd know not to insult other people."

"'Choice' isn't a term I would use when talking about evolutionary pathways," Brainy pointed out, not letting up on the smug for a moment. "In my reality, there are a number of different species in all kinds of forms, but there are also many with a similar appearance to humanity. Since you say you know that species."

He scowls and folds his arms at that. "I didn't say it made their actions any less barbaric or wrong," he says defensively. "But I don't think they'd find Colu such an easy target either."

In a small corner is a fort of epic proportions. It’s like a miniature city—actually it is a miniature city. More specifically, it’s a scale model of the Detroit skyline. There’s even smoke coming from the little space behind it, like early morning smog.

A tiny child, with so much dark brown hair covering his head that it could be mistaken for a large animal, has hogged one of the few electrical outlets in the room for his My Very First Chemistry Lab™ set. Not surprisingly he’s heavily modified it so that it actually works, and, with precision to rival the most dedicated scientists, is mixing two substances together. One is a clear liquid, boiling slowly over a Bunsen Burner, and the other…looks suspiciously like blue Play-Doh.

"Listen, asshole, her English isn't great yet, so shut up about her word choice, yeah?" Tal hisses, instantly jumping into overprotective-big-brother mode. He's a bit beyond caring whether or not the green kid insults him, but his baby sister is off limits.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

That made more sense, but there was still something fundamental to the entire concept that Brainiac 5 felt like he was missing. "Why do you get presents at all? Celebrating a birth I can understand somewhat, but then celebrating every year that passes seems a little pointless."

[justabarkeep.livejournal.com]

"I don't want it. Also, you have stuffing on your nose." Tal points out smugly.

Four feet long, two feet tall, and a mass of blue-striped fur that has enough static electricity to rival a discharging Tesla Coil, Aeneas the alien is sprawled across a cushion and taking a nap. His purple feathers and ears are nearly as large as his head is, as are the fuisti at the end of his tail (which, coincidentally, show signs of recent scarring). The visor drooped over his forehead nearly covers his disproportionately large eyes, which flutter while he sleeps.

Like a cat (or perhaps more like a snoring human), Aeneas is purring deeply. His back legs twitch every so often.

"They didn't even have the bones labeled right, and those are easy." For a given value of 'easy', anyway.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Brainy's starting to get an idea of how the little creature speaks now. The collar is also interesting, and it's a pity he doesn't think asking about its purpose will get him much.

"Rehne?" he tries. "Is that accurate?"

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Eeee. Rrrrrehnne.

::Chitterchirp. Sniffnudge::

[notlewis]

"Why not?" Luis asked. "You get older so you might as well celebrate, sí? Last year I got presents because I was turning eight, and next year I will get presents for turning nine.

[governorkang]

Kang eyes Tal for a moment, then shakes his head to get the fluff off. "Human have food?"

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::Purring. He likes that sound. And after losing his plushie, the still slightly whimpering oddity bumbles toward the sound...and promptly runs into a cushion.
Ooo. Soft. Soft is good.

Producing something between a whimper and a chirrup, the maybe-four-pound/not-quite-foot-and-a-half thing crawls up onto said cushion....and sniffs. Ooo. Warm thing. The purringthing! Sniff. Sniff.
And then the beastie curls up right then and there, kind of nuzzling a bit::

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

"Getting older is hardly much of an accomplishment," Brainy points out, speaking slowly as though the child was stupid. "Wouldn't celebrations be better reserved for something more important?"

[morphitudinous]

Excellent!

[Billy quickly arranges a base, then starts building up the walls. When Renne comes back, he smiles.]

You learn fast. Here, pile them on top of the others.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

He's decides to take that as a yes then.

"I'm not sure if my name will be too difficult for you or not. It's Brainiac 5."

As he speaks, his hand continues petting gently, enjoying the texture of Renne's fur.

Watch out, those with block fortresses and other such creations. You have a tiny pirate in your midst.

“Arrr!” cries ickle!Guybrush, charging through the center of the room with a plastic sword and a scraggly blond pompadour, the fake beard and eye patch nearly slipping off his face with the action. He takes a moment to readjust them before he strikes a triumphant pose.

“Fear me, lads and wenches! I’m Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™!”

Tal fished in a pocket momentarily before finding a rather crumpled chocolate bar. "Here." he says, tossing Kang the candy. He was actually almost kind of cute for a lizard-y dragon thing... and he'd kill the first person who found out.

[notlewis]

Luis could not help it if this kid was too dumb to see the appeal in getting presents and new books once a year and was getting a little tired of having to explain it. "Okay, so what do you think is worth getting presents over?"

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Eee! Ehss, mah-errrr.

::Wow, that...really kind of feels good. Skin flashes a kind of summer-sky blue. Carefully, so he doesn't wreck what's already done, the oddity carries blocks over one by one. In his mouth. Like he was trained.

Er...well, he...kind of was 'trained'.::

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::Well, technically the Renne is hairless except for the tangled mop on his head. And his one eyebrow. But his skin, where it's not rough by scars, has a kind of peachfuzz sort of texture. By now? He's purring a bit, still sniffing at this Brainiacperson.

...nickname incoming::

Eee. Bay.
