Ooops. He's still very put out about it. I spent the late afternoon on a treasure hunt in an abandoned lab on campus bending over but I'm not really able to bend over. The valve between my stomach and esophagus can't close (congenital) and bending makes it worse (one of the things I'm trying to get surgery on but scares me because then you can't throw up and I throw up all the damn time). Kanda wanted pets so I leaned over and boom, burped up water and goo on him. His eyes got SO big. It barely touched him. (this by the way is how I keep getting pneumonia. Half the time it ends up in my lungs).

But we got SO MUCH from the lab. It was part of the community college's medical lab technology degree but we discontinued it years ago. The first time we got all the gram staining stuff but then they tried to bring the program back. There just isn't that many jobs in the market any more so now it's gone for good and they're like do you want this stuff?

Kids have easter egg and scavenger hunts. Geeky adults have treasure forays into abandoned labs. It was so much fun today. Oooo look a centrifuge! These microscopes are MINE. Back off or I'll cut you with a broke slide. A SHAKER TRAY. Micro pipets! bacteria innoculation loops, shudders from the Oxytocin hit. Four science professors and you'd have thought we were kids in a candy store.

And since I keep forgetting Music Monday here's the playlist for Behind Blue Eyes, my nano





And happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] helliongoddess. Hope it was a great day.

Kanda needs this. Oh right, he's too fat. Lord of the Rings litter box

screw it, I'll just take a nap like this.  photo 100_4906_zpsghpwfnv3.jpg




Kaleo watched him go, not at all sure what the devs he was supposed to do now. Obviously taking a shower was mandatory. He did stink and he knew it. He'd been in a cold sweat all night, and if that's all this fancy dancer wanted, it was better than being force-fed cock all day like in the Toyhouse. Fuck, had it really been over a year of that hell?

He shoved it out mind. Kaleo went into the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror. Devs, he didn't even recognize himself and he hated the half-painted face staring back at him. Kaleo ripped the necklaces off over his head and contemplated tossing them in the trash, but figured they were probably expensive. He went and put them on the dresser. He got out of the wrap around his hips and, for lack of something better to do with it, he shoved it down the laundry chute, then grabbed some shampoo and soap out of the closet.

Figuring he didn't even care about what kind of water pattern hit him, Kaleo left it on the basic setting Shyroth had programmed in. He did, however, look through the music. If he had any talent outside of theft and slinging booze back home, it was music. Kaleo loved it, not that it helped him here. He didn't know what the devs half the shit was, so he plugged in something called Cronia concertos and hit the go button. He jumped inside the shower and the music that pounded out along with the water startled him. It had a visceral, almost brutal tone to it. He had found a very un-relaxing music, but it didn't matter. Relaxing wasn't going to happen.

He liked the feel of the warm water whipping all over him. He'd never experienced anything like it. He lathered up and shampooed the hell out of his hair to get all the gunk out of it. He'd never been vain, and he had hated every single time the Toymakers had dressed him up like a doll to get him used to it. As he washed lower, his fingers trailed over the brand on his ass. Kaleo shook. He'd never forget that. They had lasered the mark into his flesh, the stench of his burning skin filling his nostrils. He could imagine he still smelled it.

At least the fancy dancers had seemed pissed about it. Maybe there was hope they weren't as awful as he imagined they'd be. Kaleo knew the whole 'I don't want you and I'm not going to use you thing' Shyroth was floating wouldn't last. Sooner rather than later, he'd be on his knees sucking the man's cock. That was his only purpose now. The Toymakers had been very clear about that. There was no going home. There was no citizenship. There was just him servicing whoever his master wanted him to. It wouldn't last long. Kaleo had plans. Eventually, his master would leave him alone with some dinner knife and he'd just end it. He'd be dead at twenty-one.

What a turn of events, a human barfing on a cat. Once when I was sick I scared the hell out of Dickens with an episode of projectile vomiting, but I didn't barf on him. Poor confused Kanda!

The science lab hunt sounds like fun. :-)

Poor Dickens. Kanda is terrified of me sneezing. Go figure. Lucky for him it was mostly just the water I had just drank. My stomach is rubbish.

It was fun, lots of crap we'll have to work for days to find homes for in the current labs

You crack me up!

Glad to help.

Kanda just scolded me for coming home too early. Makes me wonder what he was up to

That's cool that you go to go scavenge from the old lab!

Ha ha, those pictures of Kanda definitely capture the way fat cats in particular can loll about.

It's great watching you just go, go, go with your wordcount for Nano! I may not be writing too much but I drop by my page there at least once a day to see what you (and Bay and Lorata- I think that's all my friends doing this) have jumped up to.

It was fun to scavenge.

Kanda is currently jumping around like his life depended on it. Go figure.

Thanks. Sorry you aren't writing more but yeah I'm on fire this year.

Poor Kanda! XD Seriously, I hope you're okay. *huggles*

YAY! for found treasure! :D

Love that cat-box! Makes me wish I could have a kitty just to have it in my house. XD (where I'd put it is another story XD)

*sniffles* Poor Kaleo! That's sooo sad... T.T

I'm fine. this happens all the time if too much pressure is put on my stomach

lots of treasure

honestly I wouldn't want a cat IN that box. it would just get gross.

Kaleo has had a hard life

As long as you're okay. :D

YAY! :D

Yeah? See how little I know about cats. XD

Yeah, poor guy! *sighs*

I'm okay as I get at any rate

Cats often don't like an inclosed litter box (Kanda does not). Also many cats like to kick litter everywhere (I'm pretty sure Kanda cannonballs into his judging by how far the litter is from the actual box)

Yeah? *huggles*

I didn't know that. Yeah? *laughs* XD

enclosed intensifies the smell I think. And yes some cats are litter kickers. I had one that would spend like 20 minutes in there creating a zen garden or something every time he was done

That makes sense. Yeah? Silly kitty. I wonder if he was a zen master in another life. XD
