Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had brought Juliet with him to his office today so that Rory could get some work done at home uninterrupted, so he was herding a two year old intent on finding every rock and stick in Fandom and didn't immediately notice all of the fluffy pink bunnies that were everywhere in his office this morning until Juliet let out an excited squeal.

"Wook! Bunnies!"

"There aren't any bun--" Anakin stopped in midsentence and glanced around his office with wide eyes.

"DRUMS!!!!!!!" Juliet cried, making a beeline for the child-sized set in the corner.

Anakin took a deep breath, then another. "I'll be right back, sweetheart," he said and carefully closed the door behind him as he stepped into the hallway.

"MADROX! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Anakin was in his office today. His very, very pink and fluffy office. Enter at your peril.

A very unhappy Neal had just come face-to-face with some lime jello down the hall when he'd heard that, and so he was investigating. And trying to get some jello out of his suit jacket. (Madrox was going to PAY for that.)

"You too?" he asked wearily from the doorway.

[sith_happened]

"Me too," Anakin replied in the same tone. "BUNNIES!" came a little delighted voice from the corner.

[charming_thief]

"You know, I'd say you got off easy, but -- the kid's yours, right?"

Just to make sure.

[sith_happened]

Anakin chuckled. "Yes, she wasn't a part of the room. That's my daughter Juliet, the only person in the world excited by being surrounded by pink fuzzy bunnies. Is your office the same?"

[charming_thief]

Oh, if only!

"Hey, Juliet," Neal said, waving at her. To Anakin, he answered, "No, actually. Mine's filled with jello."

Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall lime green jello. Sigh.

[sith_happened]

That got the little girl's attention. "Jello?"

"We don't eat Jello that's not in a bowl," Anakin replied, shaking his head.

"JELLO!"

Anakin sighed.

"What flavor? Not that she's getting to eat it."

"What happened?" Katniss asked as she peeked in, eyes wide at the...decor.

And the noise.

"Hello, Juliet."

[sith_happened]

"Jamie Madrox," Anakin said, sounding disgusted. "HI HI HIIIII!" Juliet crowed. "DRUMS!"

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"What?" she wondered, wandering over to Juliet to survey the drums. "Why do you like drums, Juliet?"

[sith_happened]

"LOUD!" Juliet cried happily.

"Very loud," Anakin confirmed, decidedly less happily.

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"Who is Jamie Madrox and why does he hate you?" Katniss wondered, eyeing Juliet.

Pinkie happened to be trotting by and paused at the end of the hallway. She flung her front hooves into the air.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she called back.

What? It looked like fun.

[sith_happened]

Anakin had to laugh at that. "Feel better too?" he asked.

[locointhecoco]

"Yup!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "I like making noise!"

[sith_happened]

There was an earsplitting banging of drums coming from behind Anakin and he winced. "So does my daughter."

[locointhecoco]

"She takes after you!" Pinkie decided. Hey, he was the one who started the whole howling in the hallways thing.

Kenzi looked at the office. Looked at Pinkie. Then said something she'd wanted to say for a long time.

"Pinkie, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

[locointhecoco]

"I don't know," Pinkie said. "Are you thinking that ice cream sandwiches would look really silly wearing giant open-toed shoes?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Definitely not thinking the same thing.

"...how would you get them to wear the shoes without melting?" Kenzi wondered, diverted for the moment.

[locointhecoco]

"Maybe if you did it in the dead of winter," Pinkie proposed.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi showed up in response to Neal's text, and stopped outside Professor Skywalker's office. And laughed. A lot.

"...okay, so. Professor Madrox strikes again?" She waved hi to Juliet, then pantomimed drumming at her.

[sith_happened]

"No," Anakin replied dryly, "I just went out of my mind and turned into a six year old girl."

Wait, that could be plausible here...

"Madrox did it."

Behind him, encouraged by Kenzi's pantomime, Juliet banged very, very hard on the drums.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi grinned widely. "Wow. That's.. impressive. I thought the chickens were something." She clapped her hands together. "Okay! All of it? And leave the drums for the munchkin? 'Cause I'm not yanking those away, it would be cruel and there would be screaming."

[sith_happened]

"I'll get rid of them later," Anakin promised over the sounds of Juliet beating on them. "Because no, they aren't staying."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Then gimme an hour or two." And a super-powered roomie! "Do you mind if I keep the pink bunny chair?"
