The Mungojerrie: Enemies, Yet Friends

[AmbushCat]

Callista: Nuh-uh. I meant spending a night at the Manor just for kicks.

[Ookalf]

Ah, that makes much more sense. *Circe nods.* You really want to stay over at my place, though?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: You let Ambush's kids stay over there once. How bad could it be?

[Ookalf]

*Circe considers it.* Mm... Well, I guess it won't hurt. When should I expect you over?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *mutters to herself* Let's see... get all my shopping done early...head straight to the apartment instead of wandering around town... get all my things together... get all my fleet-related business taken care of... I could probably make tracks for the Manor immediately after dinner tomorrow. Would that work?

[Ookalf]

Yes, that should work fine. I'll have things ready for you by then.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: Cool. This calls for a drink! *quickly downs the rest of the klah; eyes pop all the way open* SPROING! Caffeine ooooooverloooooad!

[Ookalf]

This won't end well...

[AmbushCat]

Callista: What are you afraid of? Whatareyouafraidof? Huh? Huhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh? It ain't scary, not scary, notscaryscaryscaryscaryscary!

[Ookalf]

You're repeating yourself and running your words together. That's not good.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: Notgood?Notgood? I'lltellyouwhat'snotgoodI'moutofcaffieneweknowthisverywellsomeonegetonthephone! *runs in circles around the table* Yieyieyieyieyieyieyieyieyie- - -

[Ookalf]

...Yeah, this is not OK. *Circe grabs Callista by the collar and lifts her up as she runs past.* Settle down, before I have to take you outside and do something unpleasant.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *doesn't struggle* Can'tsettledowncan'tsettledownstillthirstythirstythirstyforcaffienecaffienecaffienelemmegolemmegoyoucrazyrainbow!

[Ookalf]

Very well, outdoor unpleasantness it is. If the waitress will excuse us for a moment... *Circe leaves the table and drags Callista outside.*

[AmbushCat]

*The waitress currently on duty at the entrance nods as they leave.*

Callista: Can'tstop!Can'tstop!Can'tstop!Donothingstupiddonothingstupidyouunderstandme?

*It's only when they get outside that Calli begins to struggle, but for now it looks as if her mind still has full control over her body's reactions to the influx of caffeine.*
