Good morning starshine [open]

[Olivia]

The fighting seemed to stop for now, and Olivia relaxes. "Awwww! That's adorable!" She says in response to Electra's probably rhetorical question, though it's how she really felt. She liked when others were happy, she didn't like conflict like that.

She nods, wrinkling her nose at the alcohol bit (for she'd never tried it, but it did weird things to those who did). "Mmm, they're quite odd, I'm glad I'm a girl. And they say girls are hard to understand." She sighs. "It's like "yay we're friends! rawr, now I hate you! yay, we're friends again"...I don't get it." Her words came complete with motions and facial expressions, and she shakes her head at the end.

She looks at her friends and smiles. "At least we're not as bored as we were before."

[ilikegirlstoo]

Admetus grinned happily. "That's more like it," he said. "Drinks sounds good. Am I invited?"

[facethemoonlight]

Jemima grinned. "No, I agree, I think they'd make a cute couple. And I'm pretty sure Plato has a massive crush on Vicky!" she said happily.

"Whether Vicky is interested though... Hmm."

She smiled as the toms seemed to be making up. Silly things. Why was it the fight started in the first place? Jemima couldn't remember. Something insignificant, anyway.

"Today did indeed get more lively," she agreed to Olivia's comment.

[Tumblebrutus]

"Hey guys!" Tumblebrutus piped in, seeming to appear out of nowhere. Maybe he'd been spying on the group for the past ten minutes, maybe not, before having the confidence to join them. He wasn't sure why he got confidence whenever Plato and Alonzo got in a fight since both toms were so alpha it intimidated him. Admetus was the nicest of those. And Plato and Alonzo were nicer to him than Pouncival was. Sometimes Tumble didn't get why Pounce was his best friend.

But he wasn't there for those particular toms. Nope. He was there for the queens. A few shy looks were given, especially to Jemima. He ran a hand through his hair, and fidgeted slightly, trying to seem calm.

[alleycat]

Still pulling Puck by the wrist, Artemis made her way up to the growing gathering of cats.

"Hullo guys!" she said happily to the group at large. Then she eyed Plato suspiciously.

"What'd you do, Plato? Skimbleshanks came looking for you earlier. Ruined a perfectly good opportunity for Skimble and Kami to be thrown together, too. He refused to let her help him look for you, so they barely got to talk before he bustled off again."

[facethemoonlight]

Jemima suddenly became very self-aware as Tumblebrutus appeared, apparently out of thin air. She smiled shyly at him, with a tiny "Hi."

She was distracted when Artemis and Puck appeared, though. Keep this up and the entire tribe of Jellicles would join the party!
She looked from Artemis to Plato with a confused look on her face. Trouble? Kamaria? Skimbleshanks? Kamaria and Skimbleshanks? Okay, Jemima really needed to pay more attention to what was going on around her, rather than spend all her time daydreaming. What on earth had she missed?

[puck]

Puck let herself be pulled and almost ran into Artemis when she stopped at the group. "Oof.. Hello every... PLATO! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" She asked, waving an accusatory finger at him. "Because of you a perfect moment between Skimble and Kam was ruined. You've made Skimble even more distracted and oblivious than normal." She didn't really blame him for everything, but it was fun to pick on him about it. She made sure to keep a note of humor in her voice so he wouldn't get upset.

"And by the way Arty," she added, turning her attention away from the group, "Well done on the hunting down Plato. That took no time at all!"

[Electra]

Electra nodded absently at her friends. Yes, the day had gotten more interesting, but still. She was bored again, and she hadn't even gotten to strangle Plato.

She glanced up at the sudden arrival of three new cats, but her attention was diverted. Electra glanced between Tumble and Jemima for a moment. "Well, are you going to sit down, Tumble, or are you going to keep staring at Jemi like a weirdo?" She waved an arm in the direction of the space next to Jemima, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

She ignored Puck and Artemis for the moment, since she really couldn't care less what Plato had done. Knowing him, it was stupid and perverted, and usually blown way out of proportion.

[Alonzo]

He laughed, "yeah Plato, what did you do?!" He had no real idea what it was that his friend had done, but it was always fun to bug him. Payback if nothing else.

Alonzo glanced around at the many others who had joined them, whoa, where did they all come from? He smiled, responding to Admetus, "of course you are, right Plato?"

[Plato]

"Huh?" Plato blinked. "I have no clue what you're talking about."

He blinked again, then scratched the back of his head. Sometimes cats would play oblivious, and maybe the cat they were talking about was quite oblivious, and Plato was just lost. Until it hit.

"Oh, you mean when he made me streak through the junkyard to distract Jenny since she was on the warpath?"

[alleycat]

Artemis blinked.

"Seriously? That's what he asked you to do? He never told us what it was, he just said that he may have asked you to do something really stupid while he was drunk. Er. Or something," she said, frowning. She was confusing herself.

[ilikegirlstoo]

Admetus blinked too, then.

"Wait, wait, what?!" he exclaimed. Had Skimbleshanks asked for that? And had Plato actually done it?

[Plato]

"Yeah. Was no big deal," Plato said, giving a little shrug. He didn't quite see the problem with it. "He was really drunk with Misto at the time if that makes a difference. And a bit anti-wife."

[Tumblebrutus]

"I'm not staring," he mumbled, thoroughly embarrassed, though after a moment did sit down next to her. His hands folded in his lap. "So, why's everyone paying attention to him anyway? He's kinda boring."

[Alonzo]

Alonzo laughed, oh Plato. "Well, I still vote for the alcohol, if that matters."

[facethemoonlight]

Jemima cast a shy glance sideways at Tumblebrutus when he sat down next to her.

"Apparently he's been causing an awful lot of trouble? I'm not sure," she said, curious now.

[alleycat]

Artemis' eyes narrowed. "Anti-wife? How so?"

[ilikegirlstoo]

Admetus shook his head, smiling amusedly.

"Aye, I agree. Drinks are needed," he said happily.

[Olivia]

She nods as Jemima agrees about the 'cute couple', smiling as she could imagine the pair together. How Victoria felt, she had no idea, but it was still a nice image in her mind.

She turns as a new cat enters, and she recognises it as Tumblebrutus. Before she can say hello, however, two more join, one pulling the other. "Hi all." She says with the friendly wave of her paw. She watches Jemima's reaction to Tumblebrutus, but it just flew right over her head. She didn't really notice these things. She giggles as Electra motions to the space next to Jemima and speaks of Tumblebrutus' staring.

She raises an eyebrow as Artemis and Puck accuse Plato of doing something, and wonders what he had done. She was just curious like that. Her eyes open wide and her mouth drops a little as Plato mentions streaking. She then makes an 'ew, nakedness' expression, because even though she had seen everyone naked at the Jellicle Ball, she didn't want to see anyone naked out of that scenery. It was just weird.

As Tumblebrutus speaks, her attention turns back to their little group. She tilts her head and thinks for a moment before responding. "Well...nothing much was happening." She shrugs.

[Electra]

Electra's attention was pulled by Plato's revelation of what he had done, and her nose wrinkled. She turned to Olivia, making an 'eww' face at the same time Olivia did. Electra giggled before turning back to Tumble.

"Because he's a jackass, that's why." She made a face. "He decided he had to pick me up, just to show off, and then he had to make a spectacle of himself with Alonzo. And before that..." She trailed off, suddenly deciding she didn't want to mention Plato's comment about her and Pounce.

Electra shrugged and continued. "But nothing has happened today, so even Plato being crude is entertaining." She glanced back up at the older cats. "Oh, God. Are they gonna start drinking now? I do not want to be around for that."

[Plato]

"Nope. Not invited," Plato teased before he gave Admetus a little punch in the arm. "Never are."

He nodded at Alonzo. "Tonight. By the pipe. Let's see what we can do, yeah?" And, his attention was grabbed by some of the younger cats, as if just noticing there were more.

"Oh look, it's Tumblebum!" A somewhat evil smirk came to his face, mainly with the queens he was with. Victor might possibly kill him, but it'd be worth it. "Trying to pimp like your bro?"

[Alonzo]

Alonzo nodded to Plato, "I'll be there." He was a little bit nervous, however, with the knowledge that Admetus would not be there. He hadn't been truly alone with his best friend ever since...that night.

His grin stayed plastered on though, as he shrugged apologetically to Admetus, "guess you'll have to recruit yourself a posse of your own for drinking tonight."

[puck]

Puck meekly raised her hand. "I'm all up for drinks. Anything to get the mental image of Plato running nekkid out of my head."

[Tumblebrutus]

Tumblebrutus spluttered a moment before he rose to his feet. "I uh... I should get going." And, almost as quickly as he arrived, he left. With his back to them, he silently mouthed a slew of curses, many directed at Plato, but some for himself and his cowardice.

[Olivia]

She giggles as they make the same face, and focuses on the little group. She wrinkles her nose at the drinking talk; she knew that alcohol could make someone do strange things, and she wouldn't want to be in that position. Not that she would be invited, thankfully. As Plato taunts Tumblebrutus, Olivia frowns. When he abruptly leaves, she is confused, waving goodbye with a raised eyebrow. She turns her attention to Plato. "That wasn't very nice." She frowns. She wouldn't have said anything had Tumble just laughed it off, but his sudden departure made her worry.

[Electra]

"Aww, hey, Tumble..." Electra stared after the young tom, hand almost outstretched before it dropped back to her lap. She cast a quick glance at Jemima, before turning her gaze to Plato, her eyes darkening.

"Olivia's right, Plato. That wasn't nice at all. Why do you have to be so rude and obnoxious to everyone?" Electra liked Tumble, as a friend. He was the least annoying of the toms around her age. But the others gave him so much grief, it made her upset. Especially when it seemed he and Jemi liked each other, and then Plato had to spoil any chance at conversation they might have had.

[facethemoonlight]

Jemima frowned, a confused look on her face, as Tumble suddenly got up and left.

"But, he only just got here?" she said, watching him run off.

[Plato]

"Whaaaat? I didn't do anything!" Plato laughed, throwing an arm around Admetus' shoulder.

[ilikegirlstoo]

"You always do something, you doofus," Admetus teased good-naturedly. He quirked an eyebrow at the drinking comment, but didn't say anything. He was probably better off not drinking, anyway. He wasn't a good drunk, he always ended up sad and mopey when drinking.

[Alonzo]

Alonzo grinned, slapping Plato on the back, "he's right you know. It is pretty much always your fault."
