The Sinking Feeling You Get When You Eat Magic Food

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Welcome meatship crewmembers to the instrument of pure silly.

It had been a long period of waiting, but a prank was about to be issued after these dire dark times. As such, tables were set up around the WITCH Bus and other locations, unmanned stands where Lemonade and Brownies were available with the compliments of your friendly companions.

Do you dare risk chocolately goodness or sour-sweetness to discover it's dark delicious secrets?

(ooc: tag around, bug others and feel free to continue to madness. IC duration is about a day. Unless you deliberately take more with you. As a reminder, Lemonade brings you up ages to a good looking adultish level. Brownies turn you into kids. GO NUTS. Refer to the ooc post for details and ask questions there.)

"Good of an excuse as any," she pointed out. "Give you an experience, if nothin' else, right?"

Kaylee was all about experiences anyhow, and Billy sorely needed some fun in his life. "C'mon, your choice of where to start, even."

"...just what I need. Playtime."

Billy reluctantly caved, knowing Kaylee had him cornered. "All right, I'll play hide and seek. Why don't we start at the office buildings?"

Exactly what he needed. "Might help you loosen up," she pointed out. "Good stress relief, playin' a game or two. Might have to start the crew in on Calvin Ball after this is done 'n over with."

Office buildings, of course. Kaylee closed her eyes and started counting. "You'd better get movin'...."

[morphitudinous]

"...Calvin Ball?"

Already, though, she was counting. "I'll ask you later!" he yelled back over his shoulder as he took off. Unfortunately, she now knew which direction he'd run off in. Not good. Once he was far enough, he started sneaking in another direction. It would be pointless if she heard his footsteps, so he had to be careful.

Once he was approximately to the left of her, he ducked inside a lobby as quietly as he could---was the countdown almost done already? Drat. Thinking fast, he located the nearest object. There was a desk, with a cupboard just big enough to hold him on the bottom. Could he hide in there?

After quickly making some contortions, he curled into a tiny ball inside the drawer and closed the door. There, that should do it.

Explanations could definitely wait until later. Kaylee's counting continued until she got fed up with it, and then it was a simple matter of skipping a few numbers to get it over with faster.

Billy was no where in sight when her hands came away from her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud that she'd actually gotten him to play. Now she just had to find him. Most people didn't stay in the direction they were headed in first, so she could rule that out for now.

Quietly, she began sneaking around the buildings, looking carefully at each door. Occasionally she would investigate one, but she couldn't seem to find him. Either Billy was really good at Hide and Seek, or he had ditched her to go work.

Billy had closed the door well, but some debris might have been rustled outside from the movement. He couldn't fix the disturbance in dust, and...

...maybe, just maybe, one of the desks wobbled a little. He'd wait as long as he could, but it couldn't be all day.

Looking as closely and carefully as she was, the wobbling of the desk, however small, was hard to miss. Kaylee grinned and quietly moved closer to the desk. One hand reached for the handle, and--

"Gotcha!" she laughed, opening the drawer. "Almost had me with that one."

[morphitudinous]

"How disappointing," Billy joked, rolling out of the space somewhat painfully. It took a minute to get his limbs comfortable in their unfurled position, but everything was all right.

"Are you hiding, or would you rather play another game?" Billy's foot tapped as he thought. He didn't know very many games, but there had to be something they could do. Maybe building, he thought, idly playing with the items on top of the desk.

Kaylee was patient and let Billy get himself situated again while she took a better look around the building.

"Could hide if you like," she replied, peeking her head through one of the doors and up the stairs in the next room. "Could explore, too, or climb up somethin'..."
