The Park, Tuesday Evening

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John was doing yoga in the park.  He was sitting cross legged with his hands on his knees and his eyes closed, attempting to meditate.  He was really bad at it.

[ooc: Park is open! ETA: Conversation with Andrew happens after the others for plotty reasons.]

River had decided to go for a walk after classes and was happily wandering through the park, feeling the grass under her bare feet. She noticed John and grinned, as someone sitting quietly with their eyes closed was practically inviting a sudden attack.

River quietly sneaked up behind him, attempting to put her hands over his eyes.

John was trying so hard to meditate and get away from the noise of the outside world that he didn't notice River's presence until she'd covered his eyes with her hands. "Do I get three guesses," he said, trying not to show his surprise.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No," River said. "You get none at all." She didn't remove her hands.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John thought he recognized her voice, but wasn't certain. "Are you a cheerleader?" he asked, deciding to go for twenty questions instead.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"You don't get any questions," River reminded him, still not removing her hands.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed, "Why don't I get any questions?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Why do you need any questions?" River replied, giggling.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because I'm not sure you're River and want to verify before guessing," John answered.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Why would my identity make a difference?" River asked, still giggling.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because then I'd know whose hands were covering my eyes," John smirked.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Would knowing my identity make your eyes less covered by hands?" River asked, now sounding completely serious.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Not technically, no," John replied, wondering where she was going with this.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"So why are you asking questions to find out?" River asked, now holding back a giggle again.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John couldn't help but laugh. "So I'm supposed to just remove your hands myself?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I believe that would be the easiest way to get the removed," River giggled.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Can do," John reached his hands up to pull River's hands away.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

And River let him pull her hands away. "Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Enjoying messing with me today, River?" John asked, thoroughly amused.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"That is not something which is particular for today," River replied, standing up and spinning around with her arms outstretched, laughing.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John stretched his legs out and looked up at her. "Always happy to entertain you."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

She stopped spinning but not laughing. "You are? I appreciate it."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you'll get more than your fill at practice," he smirked.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Practise is good, isn't it?" River replied, looking perfectly innocent.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," John replied. "I hear it makes perfect, even."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I will be perfect at messing with you soon!" River beamed.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John had no idea what to say to that. He sighed a little, and resumed his yoga meditation position.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

John obviously needed to relax, so River raised a hand waving and wandered off, laughing to herself. He was almost easier to confuse than Simon.

When he was considering heading back to the dorms, John realized his nose was itching something fierce. He reached up a hand to scratch and noticed it was covered in dark fuzzy brown fur. "Oh crap!" he exclaimed, and promptly turned into a bunny. A bunny with a black t-shirt hanging on its head.

Andrew had brought cheetah cub Bart back to the park. Letting him run around yesterday seemed to be the trick to a good night of restful sleep.

He noticed the wiggling shirt and went to investigate.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

The bunny tried hopping to get out of the sea of clothes, but failed miserably.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew noticed a little tuft of fur sticking out of the t-shirt. "Hey there little guy. Are you stuck?"

Andrew tried to free the critter when he recognized something, "John has a shirt just like this." He glanced about the park, hoping, perhaps, to see a shirtless Sheppard running about.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Technically, John was shirtless. He just also happened to be a bunny. A bunny who was thankful to be free of the shirt, so he hopped around Andrew's feet.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew picked up the shirt, "It even smells like John." He again looked around the park, then down at the bunny, raising an eyebrow.

"You are strangely quaffed my little hopping friend." He looked out to where his roommate turned cheetah was stalking grasshoppers in the field.

"My hero?" Andrew asked the bunny, a strange catch to his voice.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

The bunny who looked just like his picture hopped forward, hoping his sidekick would not let him wander the forest to find food while in this state.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew sat down in front of bunny John. "It is you, isn't it." He puts his face in his hands and fought the urge to sob. "I'm a horrible person, John."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Had he not been a bunny, this conversation would have been really difficult. Happily, in his current state, John could only make a friendly hop and bunny-like sound to ease Andrew.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew reached out and scooped up the bunny. He nuzzled the overly fuzzy critter. "I can take care of you. I'll make sure you get plenty of food and water and stuff." He glanced out at Bart, "And I promise the cheetah won't eat you." He hoped.
