Jamie ought to be getting back to the Bounds soon - but it's been a long year, and he thinks he's entitled to a day or two of taking it easy somewhere familiar before he plunges himself back into trying to learn a new world and new customs.

Fortunately, he's got a standing offer of a place to stay. He's never taken Laini up on it before - it's easy enough to get his own room - but now he's broke(r than usual), and tired, and it seems the easiest option.

He gives a perfunctory knock, and then pushes the door open.

Duo snorts. "I'd say you stay here long enough, you're pretty much guaranteed to get corrupted before your time." He rummages through the mini-fridge.

"Iced coffee, water, soda, toxically colored sports drink?"

[walksthebounds]

"Toxically colored sports drink please!" Jamie says promptly.

What? It's a challenge.

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo passes him one. It's...green. If you're being generous. Don't bother to ask the flavor. It's green. But fortified with electrolytes and vitamins!

He gets himself a can of coffee and sits back down.

Jamie takes a gulp, and then pauses, to consider his drink.

"- full sensory experience, all right. I'd reckon those mushrooms don't taste too far off this."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"D'you think he eats them?" Duo asks, nose wrinkling. "Or snorts them up his mustache? Or maybe just absorbs them. In some kind of weird osmosis."

"Maybe he's actually destroying them," Jamie suggests, as Mario leaps for some shiny gold coins.

"Maybe he's getting moral points."

[maxwellsdemon02]

"Nah, he grows, after. They obviously have some kind of effect on him." It's logic!

[walksthebounds]

"Moral growth!"

Your 'logic' cannot defeat Jamie!

[maxwellsdemon02]

Duo almost chokes on his coffee.

Jamie, considering this a victory, serenely bounces Mario over a fleet of tiny enemy turtles.
