Room 429, Monday Evening
To Reno, today had been about as uneventful as a Monday without classes could possibly be.
Except for the sheep.
He never would have suspected that another day devoted to lazily surfing the internet for t-shirts with dirty slogans could possibly turn into an attack by a flock of tiny ruminants, swarming in around his ankles and attempting to graze on his socks.
With this unexpected invasion underway, Reno did the only thing he could think of.
He put a bowl on the floor, he filled it with the last of his rum, and he watched.
Who needed the internet when there was a room filled with tiny drunken sheep to watch?
He was silently hoping for a baaaaaar brawl to break out.
[The door is open, the post is open, I cannot promise sanity, as I have slept two hours in the past 48. Again. Hooray sheep!]

Blink.
"What's ... wrong with your sheep?"
no subject
He and two of the more sober sheep had started a pot to see if the black sheep could take out the sheep in wolf's clothing.
He had his money on the black sheep. It had managed, somehow, to break the bottle and lift the thing.
"Want in on the pot?"

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? I'm all outta rum, though. These things drink more than the squirrels do, zoto."
He paused and made a bit of a face as he tried not to let the weirdness of that statement really get a chance to settle.
"How you doin', Rikku?"

He eyed the one with the bottle-- it was getting tired, and was about to lose him fifty gil and a box of instant oatmeal. Dammit.

The bottle-bearing sheep was down for the count. Reno was officially broke until Friday.
"Stupid freakin' sheep anyhow."
no subject
The bad ones, the mass-slaughter ones. Please don't make her say it.
She looked at the sheep tableau again. "Man, you thought he'd make it? You deserve to lose that money, yoto."
no subject
He eyed the sheep.
"You're right about that sheep, yo. Figure I only bet on 'im because the little shit reminded me of Rude."
If it had been freshly sheared and was wearing shades, maybe.
no subject
She pulled her hair out of its ponytail and combed through it with her fingers. Such a mess. "Was this ... the whole, uh. After we ... had that fight?"
no subject
He'd been taking that very seriously this past little while.
"Yeah. It was kinda... that Thursday."
See Reno. See Reno shrug. See a small group of sheep try to cart off the box of instant oatmeal in the meantime.
no subject
She wasn't really in the mood for delicate wording, no. Nor had she noticed one of the very drunk sheep puking on her boots.
no subject
It was amazing the variety that could be achieved in one's daily diet simply by using instant ramen, soy sauce, and ketchup.

She watched him write the check and shook her head. "How are they supposed to cash that, anyway?"
Wait, maybe that was the point. Nice one.
no subject
"They'll figure it out, whatever. The hell does 'suja' mean?"
Context suggested that it was something like 'hurry the hell up,' but it never hurt to be sure.
no subject
She was already turning the door handle. Girl was impatient.
no subject
"Please move your something and stop something me something I something you?" He raised an eyebrow. "You in a hurry, there?"
no subject
She opened the door and bounced into the hallway. "I'm sorry, did you have a busy schedule of paying sheep that I'm interrupting? And do you really want me going into town by myself like this? Can you even imagine the sorts of humiliating things I could get up to? I wonder if the photo place is open. I bet they could poster-size that picture I have of your tattoo."
no subject
"You know, I think I got better things to do than hang around here with the sheep anyhow, zoto. Uh." He grabbed for his jacket - hopefully Tseng would send one that was decidedly less pink shortly - and pulled it on, following her to the door.
no subject
And of course it was her fault the jacket was pink. Shhhh.
