Not Good at Nice

After stopping by Anakin's office in SP, la, Aeryn comes back to the room. Spending some time in the gym last night helped a lot, so she's at least acting like a normal person again. It'll get less weird.

She's about to go feed the fish when she sees Bertram sitting behind the tank, eyestalks twitching a little as he watchs Bruno swim. "Yes, I know, it's relaxing," she says. "Too bad you're a machine."

Bertram just beeps at her and continues watching. Even a DRD should have hobbies. Probably.

[Open. Yes, I am bored out of my mind today. Entertain me.]

Aeryn's doing very exciting things, like trying once again to be able to pronounce the words in her Anatomy textbook. It's not going well, but at least she isn't throwing books across the room. She's mid-word when she hears something bang against the door, and sees Bertram trying to get out. While letting him out kind of terrifies her, he keeps it up until she's annoyed enough to open the door to let him out.

She's just sat down on the couch again when she hears the banging again, this time from the other side of the door. Sighing, Aeryn gets up and opens it. "Make a decision," she tells him.

Bertram beeps at her and scurries inside again. Aeryn closes the door, starts back, and there's that sound again.

This would be why the door to the room is open.

[Open!]

About the time Aeryn steps on a little crunchy cereal bit missed from yesterday's fort adventure, this is when she decides it's a good time to clean. If you want a job done right... See, that's one of those Earth phrases Aeryn can actually get behind.

Aeryn is taking petsitting seriously. Vladdie's bottles are in the fridge, the curtains are closed, Yoda is far away from the sea monkeys because although she doubts there would be a problem unless she put Yoda in the tank, she'd rather not take any chances, and she's not running from the room at all. So far it's not going badly.

And she keeps looking at the ceiling to make sure Vladdie's not up there.

Since she somehow has managed to miss her roommates constantly lately, Aeryn decides to do the same thing she did for Kawalsky, and put the wrapped presents on their respective beds. Though really, she doesn't quite know how to thank Janet for what Sam gave her earlier.

( ooc: and you get... )

When trying to close her locker, though, she's got to deal with a potential escapee. "No," she tells it firmly. "I told you, stay in there."

The potential escapee doesn't like this answer much.

"You'll be out of there soon enough. Stop complaining," says Aeryn. "Just stay in there and be quiet."

It still takes issue. As potential escapees do.

Aeryn sighs. "You have 500 microts and then you're right back in there. I have things to do."
