haven't you been told to keep your shiny things out of the reach of cats

[Hogwarts' latest outsider has found herself with some free time! And how is she going to use it? Studying, perhaps? Working on adjusting to the new culture and surroundings she's suddenly found herself in? Learning her way around the school? Doing anything even remotely productive?

No, she's going to tear the tinsel lining the hallway as a Christmas decoration off the wall and roll around in the middle of the hallway, kicking at it like she's at a cat.

Meet Nepeta Leijon, the living picture of public behavior and getting things done, by which I mean somebody stop this girl before she starts tripping people up and/or desecrating every shiny Christmas decoration in the castle for her own amusement.]

I'm not saying you shouldn't be careful. But you don't have to work through your confusion alone.



Anyway, let's decorate this hallway again...

[purrsnickety]

It's so nice that people do that for each other! Even though I guess not efurrybody can be so furiendly...

Aww, no more playing? [She makes a pouty face and holds onto the tinsel. But playtiiiiimeeee!]

[empireofmymind.livejournal.com]

That's certainly true.



We can - find something you're supposed to play with, instead.

[purrsnickety]

[Ooooh, more playthings!] Okay, but only if you purromise! [And so begins the process of unwinding herself from the tinsel.]

[empireofmymind.livejournal.com]

...yes. I - promise.

[purrsnickety]

[Brilliant job there. After much spinning and writhing around she has gotten the tinsel off of herself and helped pin it back up to the wall, and then comes the expectant staring. Playthings were purrom—promised!

Cats aren't that hard to amuse, at least?]

--ah.

Right now?

[purrsnickety]

Of course! It's still playtime, after all.

[Cats are not particularly patient creatures, Ken.]

Well...then....



The school store should have something good. It's the right time of year....

[purrsnickety]

You think so? [Oh gosh does this sound exciting! She crouches a little like she's ready to spring forward at something.] Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

Ah, then....
