Room 507, Saturday Noon-ish

[not_in_the_book]

It said something that this wasn't the first time that Peach had woken up with a hangover. Even in this particular body.

She moaned, flopping around on the bed (Since when do I sleep in a bed? she though, in passing), but in the end she figured that it would be easier to just get up and find some water.

Of course, to do that, she'd have to figure out how to open the door. ...

"SQUAWK! SQUAWK!"

Sure, she could speak. But she felt that might better get the attention of anyone who happened to be coming by the door.

[Door is closed (hee), but unlocked. Post is open! Come let the bird out!]

Ino had eventually decided that it was safe to leave Kabuto's room, and that the weird guy wasn't coming back to it for a while. So, getting dressed, she headed out into the hall.

Of course, now there was squawking. She paused at the noise and looked dubiously at her neighbour's door. It was going to be one of those weekends wasn't it?

"Hello," Ino called, feeling silly, "is everything all right in there?" Maybe it was just a new pet?

"This just in," Peach said, clearly enunciating enough that she could be heard through the door -- in a voice not unlike Walter Kronkite. "Idiot girls clearly not able to deduce that squawking means that, no, everything is not all right. Open the door!"

She'd been squawking for a while at this point.

[intraspective]

"Yeah, right." Ino put her hands on her hips. "Why would I want to open a door after being insulted?"

[not_in_the_book]

The squawking stopped.

"Would you mind terribly opening the door?" Peach asked, in the most sickeningly sweet tone she could muster.

For a macaw, she had rather a range.

[intraspective]

...

Ino rather thought she preferred the other voice. Seriously.

Did she want to open the door? Not really. But Ino had a funny feeling that if she didn't there'd be a lot of squawking for the next while and... and she lived right next door.

"Alright, fine." Ino rolled her eyes, reaching to open the door, "But if you attack me? I'm totally not going to be happy."

[not_in_the_book]

"Thank you," Peach said, flapping out as the door opened and then swooping up to land on Ino's shoulder. "Much better. You'll be rewarded later."

And then, without a goodbye, Peach swooped off.

[And now I'm off to get ready for my date. ... EEE DATE.]

[intraspective]

...

Ino stared after the bird. She was going to be rewarded? Shaking her head, Ino headed off. Maybe she could find people who weren't acting strange? There had to be a few, right?

[Yay date! Have fun~!]
