[LET'S SAY, HYPOTHETICALLY, YOUR CHARACTER WAS SLEEPING SOMEWHERE.

THEY'RE NOT THERE ANYMORE. also gosh that person they're sleeping with now is very snuggle-worthy and warm. There's no way this bedninja post could go badly at all!]

[in the Cabin McAvoy, there is a sleeping Professor.

yes, he is a snuggler. something about not getting enough hugs as a kid or something idek.]

((PLACEHOLDER))

[godwinner]

...I thought not.

[ looks him in the eye for a few moments, then tucks the paper under his arm as the kettle begins to shriek, turning away to make the tea ]

[mind_over_metal]

*runs a hand through his hair, then starts the process of transferring himself to his chair*

I am curious to see exactly what sort of newspaper gets distributed here, you know.

[godwinner]

So am I. I'd also like to be able to find what I'm looking for after you've gotten your hands on it, so I'm not leaving it alone with you.

[ comes back with two mugs of tea and holds one out for him ]

[mind_over_metal]

*pauses on the edge of the bed, taking the mug with an expression of affectionate amusement and performed offense*

And just what are you implying?

[godwinner]

[ sits down on the other side, one foot on the floor, his own expression reigned in ]

If I only knew. You might eat bits of it when I'm not looking. I've lost entire sections of newspaper to you.

[ pulls it out from under his arm and drops it between them ]

[mind_over_metal]

It's not my fault if you can't find your own way through a newspaper.

*twists himself around to reach for it*

[godwinner]

It's entirely your fault. There's an order to them which you refuse to acknowledge, let alone respect.

[ lets him take it ]

[mind_over_metal]

The established order is overrated.

*one-handedly fishes out a section from somewhere in the middle of the paper*

[godwinner]

Mm, beginning to end, it's absurd.

[ snatches up the top section ]

[mind_over_metal]

*as he flips through while sipping his tea*

They're artificial constructs.

[godwinner]

Based on a linear perception of time, yes.

[ though he immediately begins to contemplate the possibility of a mutation that might allow otherwise even as he reads the front page, thank you very much ]

[mind_over_metal]

*flip flip*

Oh, I don't doubt that that's possible.

[godwinner]

[ the headline seems to be about increasing incidents of vampirism ]

Precognition, perhaps.

[mind_over_metal]

*buried in the centre of the paper is a section of what seems like obituaries, with the mystifying header of "Drops"*

Mm-hm, that would be one thing that would involve it. Or maybe some kind of time travel or manipulation.
