Room 229 - Friday Morning

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo found himself caring for a friend who had been turned into an animal for the second time in as many months, even though looking after Goose!Graham had proved to help keep him somewhat distracted.

He had spent most of the time holed up in his room, feeding Graham a lot of empanadas since he had made quite an extra amount of them and they did need to get eaten.

He also really hoped that eating all these empanadas as a Goose wasn’t going to hurt Graham later when he did turn back.

So he was lying on his bed, absentmindedly throwing pieces of empanadas to his friend who was now a Goose and feeling pretty miserable about the knowledge that he was meant to be a vampire hunter.

He had decided to keep the door closed though he didn’t want Graham to try and make a break for the hallway.

[door’s closed, post is open!]

Guillermo did smile at that, "I thought after the weekend that everything was going to change, that being related to a vampire hunter meant I couldn't become a vampire," he said softly, "but thank you, for listening and helping," he said, "I certainly never imagined that I could one day have powers, it is kind of cool to think about," he admitted.

"Hey no worries! What are friends for if not to brain storm and figure things out! And help watch a friend who's turned into a Goose for some reason" Kurt added with a laugh and a glance over at Graham.

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo laughed as well, realising he hadn't fed Graham any empanadas for a while and picked up another one to throw a few more pieces to him, "I hope he turns back soon, I'm starting to think there's something wrong with our common room since it appears to keep turning people into animals," he added.

[furrybluefreak]

"Might have to talk to someone about that.... maybe someone from the Magic Shop could come and take a look. Make sure there's nothing weird going on?"

Kurt watched Graham for a moment.

"It might not be the common room only... seems the adults even turn into animals often lately. Maybe it's just am island wide thing right now for some reason?"

[guillermothegreat]

“That could be an idea,” Guillermo nodded thoughtfully, “at least that way we could rule out that there’s anything magical going on right?”

He tilted his head, “I did hear on the radio there did seem to be a lot of animal transformations as of late,” he nodded, “at least more so than usual,”

[furrybluefreak]

"Maybe it's something more to do with the people who are turning into animals?" Kurt said thinking out loud a bit. "Like, maybe they are stressed about something, or are tired, or something and the island... kinda... I don't know... picks up on it and tries to give them a break or something?" He gave a small shrug and sheepish grin. "I mean the island is weird so that might not be too far into the crazy huh?"

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo grinned at that, “I could see the island doing that, especially if it thinks it’s being helpful,” he paused, “hopefully everyone turns back to normal soon though, even though at least Graham is easily distracted with empanadas so I don’t have to worry about him trying to make a break for it,” he added.

[furrybluefreak]

"Less of a handful than an energetic sugar glider huh?" Kurt said with a smirk and a wink. "Though if he stays this way too long," Kurt pondered looking over at Graham, "we might have to try and get him into the tub or figure a way to get a kiddie pool or something set up. I'm pretty sure geese like the water and need to get wet now and then."

[guillermothegreat]

"You weren't that bad," Guillermo assured him, "well aside from when you snuck into class with me that one time, I was sure you were going to end up escaping and I'd never get you back to the dorms,"

He tilted his head at Graham, "I never thought of that, I did wonder if maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him outside for a while but I'm worried about him flying off," he admitted.

[furrybluefreak]

"Hehe yeah sorry about that." Kurt thought for a moment, watching Graham as he considered something. "I dont remember a lot about when I was an animal. But I do remember there was a sense of safety when I was with you. I wasnt afraid. it was like even in my tiny sugar glider brain I knew it was safe with you and I didn't want to go too far away. Maybe.... Graham would feel the same about you."

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo did smile at that, “I’m glad you felt safe with me, I would have been horrified if anything had happened to you while you were a sugar glider,”

He paused as he considered Graham thoughtfully, “maybe if I had a lot of empanadas with me, Graham won’t try to fly away? I could leave a trail for him outside so that he can stay near?”

At the moment Graham was quite content to eat the pieces of empanadas that Guillermo kept throwing towards him.

[furrybluefreak]

"Maybe give him a break from the empanadas so they are bit of a treat when we do go? I think it might be ok. Or, we could always try the bathtub or the kiddie pool idea too" Kurt offered.

[guillermothegreat]

“I suppose we could do the bath tub, just …without all the bubbles this time,” Guillermo suggested with a sheepish grin, in his defence he had been really sleep deprived when he had thought that was a good idea.

[furrybluefreak]

"Hey, the bubbles were fun!" Kurt said with a laugh. "But yeah, might be best to skip them this time around" he agreed with a small nod.

"When Graham gets back to normal, maybe he can help us out with the training and all. Could be something the three of us could do to get ourselves in shape and stuff. Got plenty of room in the gym and of course there's the park and preserve and beach too if we really need space!"

[guillermothegreat]

“We could ask him and see what he thinks,” Guillermo nodded, “but I do like that idea, especially if I can figure out my abilities in the process,” he added.

[furrybluefreak]

"I could even get some tips and ideas from the team back home too!" Kurt said with a big grin. "Logan and Scott do a lot of the training with the new team members and students. I'm sure they would have some good ideas that could get us started!"

[guillermothegreat]

"It definitely wouldn't hurt," Guillermo returned the grin, feeling. a lot better about the idea of training and figuring out just exactly what being related to Van Helsing meant," it could be fun to try different ideas, see how we manage to go with them ... I think it'll take me a while to get the hang of training, I've only ever done PE and you saw how badly I did in the class," he added, rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish grin.

[furrybluefreak]

"Eh PE class was a bunch of generic stuff. We can customize the activities and training so it should go a bit better" Kurt said with a supportive grin and a thumbs up. "We got this!"
