RAT PARTY LOG: Day 105

[dorkypantsuit]

Who: Everyone and anyone.
What: A party.
Where The menagerie.
When: Day 105


It’s a rat’s birthday party, and if you’re in the labor crew attendance is mandatory. After watching his department's sense of team spirit drop to dangerous levels Psi has decided to try and force people to have a little fun. Of course, the recent lack of camaraderie among the Labor Department isn’t the sole reason for the party; as Ginko had mentioned, anyone who decides to take a look at Rex the rat king will find a seventh head apparently in the process of emerging from around his shoulder. It’s not quite fully formed yet, essentially just a nose and mouth poking through the fur, but it’s very definitely there.


I. GINKO AND REX
A table has been set up near Rex’s enclosure with a number of rat king-safe treats laid out on it, so as to reduce the risk of visitors giving him something he shouldn’t eat. All the same, Ginko will be spending most of his time near Rex, and keeping an eye on things - just in case he has to, you know, discourage people from putting their fingers too close to the new mouth, or something like that. Fingers are not considered rat king-safe treats.

II. TWISTER AND OTHER FUN GAMES
Psi is here as well obviously, and he does have twister. He won’t actually make you play, but he will call you a wuss if you refuse to join in. Twister isn’t the only game they have available though, as later on Psi will also be forcing allowing people to play “Who Am I?” In this game the name of another person at the carnival is placed on a player’s back. Players then have to guess whose name is on their back by asking questions yes or no questions about that person to other people at the party. (Feel free to pick whatever name you want for your character.) Although Labor Department members have to play, others are welcome to join too.

III. FOOD
But what would a party be without the free food? There’s lots of good stuff. BBQ Ribs, Chicken Adobo, Pork Mango Habanero and for dessert there’s cupcakes in the chocolate and lemon flavored variety. Lar’s made it all so feel free to be shocked about that.

((OOC: As this is a party log feel free to make your own top-levels))

Right. Just a scratch. He hands the napkin over after a second, glancing back at the food before paying attention to Strange again.

"Rex is... The royal rat?" He thinks that's right. He only got here a couple days ago, after all, but he knows the party is for the rat (for some reason, not that he was complaining).

"Were you trying to pet him or something?"

[kingsroads]

Strange continues to talk, as if this is a totally normal point of conversation, as he puts pressure on his scratch, holding the napkin tight to his palm to slow the bleeding.

"No, I just wanted to see how the head was growing. I've never met an animal that grew another head before, I wanted to see just what the process entailed."

He was nosy. That's the answer right there, Strange was being too nosy for his own good.

[chattypuns]

He can't deny that now that he's thinking about it, he's kind of curious how exactly a head grew too. Still, he doesn't think he'd get so... Hands-on about checking it out.

"At least it isn't too bad? Maybe it was just a warning bite, or something."

[kingsroads]

"True. I've a feeling that if Rex wanted to, he could bite a finger clean off."

It's said in a teasing tone of voice. Strange is definitely joking about the whole 'might lose a finger due to rats' aspect, but Rex certainly is powerful and large enough that if he wanted to? Strange is certain he could at least take out a finger.

"I am Jonathan Strange, by the way. I don't think we've met."
