Wakey Wakey!

[_beast_boy_]

Beast Boy crowed shrilly in his rooster form, strutting down the tower's hallways. He stepped haltingly down the hall, ruffling his wings and tilting his head, and when the door to the livingroom opened, he was human again.

"Man.. hurts my throat..." He rasped, rubbing his neck.

Comments

[xxsilvestrixx]

Silvestri sat upright on the couch where, until a few moments before, he had been sleeping quite comfortably in his cat form.

-Who the hell wakes up at dawn??- He thought angrily, trying to neaten his hair. -Especially the day after a fight like that...- He glared over at Beast Boy when he walked in...

"... should have known..." He muttered, his tone more than a little arrogant. He wasn't sure what it was, but he had the feeling that he and BB weren't going to become fast friends...

[_beast_boy_]

Beast Boy tensed at the voice, ears perking slightly. He regarded Silvestri with a less than friendly gaze, his jaw set. Something about that guy...

"Shoulda known what?" He asked coolly, hands on hips. "You gotta problem?"

[xxsilvestrixx]

Silvestri stood, stretching and the crossing his arms against his chest.

"Well, yes, since-- unlike someone I could name-- I didn't get to sleep through most of that ordeal yesterday, I do have a problem... Didn't it occur to you that everyone might need a little more sleep?" He shook his head, the strange ache returning o his chest and limbs as his body woke up the rest of the way. The pain did nothing for his attitude...

[_beast_boy_]

"Dude, I wasn't like... napping or something, okay?" He took a step towards Silvestri, hands balled into fists at his sides. "I didn't ask to be MIA!"

He turned slightly, brows furrowed. "I'd do anything for my friends. We've been through... a lot together."

He emphasized the last comment bitterly. -Who does this guy think he is? He doesn't even know us. He doesn't belong here.-

[xxsilvestrixx]

"No problem... you sure you aren't hungry?" He asked, smiling down at her. "I'm sure Beast Boy wouldn't mind unmangling a couple pieces of bread for you... ?" He raised an eyebrow at BB. "Or is that offer off the table?"

[_beast_boy_]

His eyes flickered briefly to the sad, lumpy bag that used to contain an intact loaf of bread. "Uhm..."

[poes_girl]

"I'm fine." she said, glancing towards Beast Boy. When she saw the shape the loaf of bread was in she blinked, then looked at him again, worried.

[robotic_rocker]

Cyborg sauntered into the kitchen, oblivious to the atmosphere in his search for food. He rooted through the fridge, humming to himself. Glancing over his shoulder he asked,

"Anybody want french toast? I bought the perfect bread yesterday--" His eyes fell on the sorry looking loaf and he turned around slowly, picking it up like a dead thing and glaring around at them, his expression stony. "Which one of you murdered my bread?"

[xxsilvestrixx]

Silvestri didn't look at her, his angry gaze fixed out over the ocean.

"Never been better..." He snapped, and then shook his head. "Sorry... I'm not mad at you. I'm not even really mad at Beast Boy... It's just..." He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "There are holes in my memory. It's really hard to remember anything from before I went into stasis... and... I'm sure I should be able to control my power better than this. But sometimes-- Sometimes it slips..." He gestured with his hand, trying to articulate the feeling.

[poes_girl]

"I know you aren't. And you should ignore Beast Boy. He overreacts sometimes, but he means well." she glanced at him, then looked back out the window.

"I'm sure you'll get better. You just have to practice. And now you have the time to so..." she shrugged "Just don't be so hard on yourself."

[xxsilvestrixx]

"That means a lot... thank you, Raven." He smiled at her, his anger fading. "And I am sorry... you aren't... bleeding or anything, right?"

[poes_girl]

She checked the cut on her leg, then shook her head.

"No. It's fine." she looked at him, "Just try and control yourself next time, all right?"

[robotic_rocker]

Cyborg held the one hand straight out in front of him, his palm against BB's forehead... his other hand held the much coveted stirring spoon several inches from his mouth.

"Come on... you can do better than that, BB!"

[_beast_boy_]

He pinwheeled his arms, pushing against Cyborg's steady hand.

"Dah.. Gimee!!" He squealed, making futile grabbing motions. "No fair, Cy!"

[robotic_rocker]

-What's not fair is vegan waffles and meatless meat...- Cyborg thought, delaying the inevitable by taking his hand off of BB's head and letting him crash into the counter.

"Whoops... my bad." He said, still holding the spoon aloft.

[_beast_boy_]

He whimpered, gripping the counter to steady himself, one hand pressed to his face.

"Dude... not cool!"

He paused, looking from Cyborg to the spoon, and then narrowed his eyes.

"The spoon is mine." He leaped at it, missing it just barely as Cyborg lifted in a fraction higher, and half stumbled to a halt a few feet away from his friend.

((dude, stop deleting your posts. if you forget to use the waffle icon... just let it go.))

//Message from Red X

[robinsdarkhalf]

The computer screen flickers in the living room for a brief moment, going pitch black before a streak of white lettering lines across it, saying: "Slade is in Steel City, but not for long. He'll be back in Jump City soon. You might want to do something about it."

There's no signature, no hints to who it is, nothing. Just the message all on its own.

Re: //Message from Red X

[_beast_boy_]

His eyes widened as he read the message.

"Dude, who is that from?"

Re: //Message from Red X

[robotic_rocker]

"Slade has Robin..." Cyborg began, his eyes flying up to the message as it appeared... even not knowing who it was from, it wasn't the kind of thing they could afford to ignore. "And we think he's headed your way. You need back-up?"

Re: //Message from Red X

[_bumble_b]

"Of course not. We can handle ourselves." her tone was guarded, but her words were casual, and she actually sounded almost offended by his comment.
