Hey! I hope you don't mind Background Scientist #37 but I had so much fun with the first one of these you made, I'd figure I'd take the liberty of making a part 2. I saw a lot of people still had RPs to finish so here's Part 2. If you wanna check out Background Scientist #37's part one click here: https://disqus.com/home/cha...

"Hi Alice! Just the weirdness of having a favourite veggie." Catt explained. "But it started out as a chat about desert."

"It's still weird that you like the bitter mini-trees but don't have a favourite ice cream." Sozo interjected.

Hyde without a Jekyll

"There are a lot of flavors of ice cream." Alice nodded, closing the distance between them, "I like cauliflower! It's crunchy!" She tacked on as an after thought.

Catt Hatter

"Not you too!" He grumbled, pulling a face.

"Well, what's your favorite ice cream flavour?" Catt asked, laying a bookmark across the page she had been reading.

"Well, uh..." ))

My response:

A small smirk flickered into existence on Alice's face, though she tried her best to hide it not wanting to offend Sozo.

Catt chuckled as well. "Yeah! And anyway, I prefer sorbet over most ice cream. Rainbow is my fave."

"Why didn't you just say that when I asked then?" Sozo grumbled.

"Because," she poked him in the side with her book. "The conversation would've ended there, and I wanted to mess with you a little!"

If his skin had been much lighter, the two girls would've seen him blushing.

((Jekyll1886 The Fox Miss-Dreamerkat If you would like to continue I made a new discussion. And if I remember correctly the order is Jekyll1886 then The Fox then Miss-Dreamerkat and then myself. Sound right?

Recap:

Hyde without a Jekyll

Emerson lounged in his chair, lazily breathing in the last fleeting scenes of Sophia. A small smile sat upon his lips as he thought of the new teacher. Clearly the best always came last and she was well worth the wait.

Jekyll1886

Sophia had donned her winter wear once more, and turned right as she exited Sterling's office.

The Fox

Malemi nudged Kito's knee and hissed.

" You go distract her while I "talk" with Sterling! Keep her here until I'm done! "

He ducked and entered Sterling's office silently.

Miss-Dreamerkat

Kito glared but he stepped forward and smiled, "Good morning Miss," He said.))

My response:

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a black oily sludge creep in through the door. Quickly blinking and clearing the beautiful fog of Sophia from his mind, Emerson focused on the creature that had just invaded his sanctuary.

Malemi.

The bloody homing pigeon was back!

Bolting from his chair he pivoted to the window on the wall behind him, threw it open, and promptly dove out into the sweet afternoon air.

"Good afternoon," Sophia returned politely, resisting the temptation to correct this fellow that it was "Doctor," not "Miss". After all, how was he to know? She wondered who he might be.

"May I help you?"

What Kito saw out the window was quite comical. Emerson sprinting at a break neck speed across the court yard, with a rather large black feline nipping at his heels. But also at the speed which Sterling ran, it became clear as to why he was the track coach.

With the wind rushed through his unkempt hair and his shirt flapped in the breeze, a maddening grin split his face as it was he who had the last laugh. Not Malemi, contrary as to their current situation.

Malemi nipped as his heels, slowly edging closer to the teacher. He was tempted to let out a horrendous laugh but decided not to, he had a plan cooking...

He feigned growing weakness, panting and drooling for effect. He let his ears sag and his eyes tear, painting an image of a rundown cat.

Though Malemi didn't laugh, Sterling most certainly did. A confident snicker floated on the wake around the sprinting man as they weaved through the freshly cut grass. Though the beast behind him sounded to tire, Emerson dared not to look back nor slow his feet.

To the students who would stop and stare at the peculiar sight it would more than likely seem that the secretary was being chased by a the school's messenger cat. Not the best image for the man but it was one that could be easily used to his advantage.

Sophia's path took her across the quad. As it happened, this afforded her a view of Secretary Sterling being chased at an increasing distance by...a cat? If "cat" it could be called.

What the bloody Hell, she thought.

"What on Earth...?" she said softly.

Malemi saw the teacher in the corner of his eye and hid his smile. Right on time.

He slowed down, letting out heavy pants. He leaned forward and collapsed on the ground in a furry pile. He hammed it up, letting out a pitiful moan while he stretched out in feigned pain.

He squeezed his eyes shut as though he were suffering and let out crocodile tears to run down his face. He opened an eye and looked at Sophia and let out a sad groan. This ought to do it.

At the lack of Malemi's footsteps, Emerson took the chance to look back. Malemi was no longer following! But his joy was soon cut short at the sight of the beast sympathetically capitulating in front of Sophia. Sophia of all people! And as if to make matters worse Kito was here too!

"Dr. Weir! Mr. Latro!" He called out, approaching the gathering carefully, "I've seemed to run the cat out of energy but do be careful! This is the third time he's attacked me today!"

((Yep! Perfect! :D

"What is wrong with it?" she asked, not approaching any closer.

" Please miss! Don't hurt me please! I've been hurt enough today. This...this SECRETARY!! Miss, he has abused me with no end today. I can only take some MUCH!!! "

He laid his head back down and cried more crocodile tears, sniffing unhappily.

Kito let out a hefty sigh, his acting was atrocious, to over the top. Kito then turned his attention to Sophia, and threw a look back at Emerson before saying, "Miss I can assure this creature will be fine in my care. No need to stay, I am the zoology teacher. I have some veterinary knowledge." He had one hand by his back which was tight in a annoyed fist.

"Abused you?!" Emerson shouted as he jogged up to the group, "You attacked me! Destroyed my phone! My desk! My paperwork! And you chased me out a window!! A bloody window!!" He sighed calming his rage and turned to Kito, "Perhaps it's rabid? Or is in need of being neutered?"

Sophia nodded to Kito, and couldn't suppress a high-pitched chortle at Emerson's last suggestion.

"Does this sort of thing happen often, here?" she asked no one in particular, hiding a small but amused grin behind her hand.

At Sophia's laugh (like a music of a wind chime), Emerson's face brighten a bit and he puffed out his chest. In fact he was going to answer her question when the abomination spoke. After Malemi's words all else fell to the wayside.

"What happened to the pitiful, tired cat?" Emerson smirked, "Your ruse seems to have run out there!" He folded his arms beaming in triumph.

"And as for your short lived vacation that was a kindness!" His face fixed in determination, "You are always tearing up my furniture in distress and complaining about how you can't leave the school! So I merely gave you, your hearts desire! It's not my fault you came crawling back like a bloody homing pigeon!!"

"And as for Kito, he's the best animal trainer we've got!" Sterling's voice rose in passion, "I would have hoped he could teach you some d\*mn manners!!"

"I'm sorry if I was a little surprised. At least give me some warning, a phone call would be nice once and a while. Instead of just sending me animals to my doorstep," Kito said to Emerson. "Espeically one's that can communicate like a human, you are perfectly aware of my... situation," he said to the secretary.

Unfortunately the blood rushing through Sterling's ears blocked out Kito's reason otherwise he would have apologized having assumed Kito knew of Malemi's presence on the campus. But he did not and instead pure rage got the better of him.

"I started it? I STARTED IT!?" Emerson's face turned red with rage, "OH NONONONO! I think you need to check you're facts there! You started it when YOU DESTROYED MY DESK!! Do you have any idea how much furniture I go through because of you?! I'M ON MY THIRD DESK THIS WEEK BECAUSE YOU USE IT AS A D\*MN SCRATCHING POST!! IT'S CURRENTLY COVERED IN CARDBOARD BECAUSE YOU!! NOT TO MENTION THE PHONE YOU BROKE AND MY SHREDDED CLOTHES AT HOME AND THE PAPER WORK!! And hmmm..." Sterling placed his hand thoughtfully and dramatically upon his chin, "Let's not forget THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT EARNED YOU THAT COLLAR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!"

Emerson had worked up more of a sweat screaming at the cat than he had running. His face was that of a beet and the vein in his forehead was clearly visible.

Sophia was amused with Malemi's response...until he referred to Sterling as a "rat".

That, she reflected, is no good precedent. She wondered if he thought of all human beings that way.

When the talking cat continued, it became obvious his quibbles with the secretary must have been going on for some time.

Kito's concerns were a brief interlude of reason in an otherwise emotionally driven conversation. They made quite the contrast to Emerson's ensuing invective.

They both sound like children, she concluded of Sterling and Malemi.

"It's obvious to me you two need to end your quarrel, or this school will suffer," she pronounced, looking to each in turn. "If you can't resolve your differences yourselves, kindly take the matter up with the Headmasters. This is no example to set for the student body."

He looked back to Sophia with a cool gaze. He gave a soft laugh and shook his head.

" I would agree if they were here. Unfortunately, they've gone to who knows where and left Dennis the Menace in charge. "

He pointed a finger to Sterling.

" Needless to say, we may not reconcile until they come back. Speaking of headmasters though... "

He let out a vicious snarl at Sterling, his teeth bared.

" I asked to SEE the headmasters cause I grew sick of tutoring! YOU said I should leave! I SAID that I couldn't! YOU clipped me! I didn't do nothing to you and you decided to gift wrap me!! I only got back at you. You should've seen it coming a mile away!! "

He rolled his eyes and licked his teeth.

" It could've been worse y'know...I could've truly given you something to write about. Did you want that instead? Hmmmm? "

A coy look came over him and he smirked.

" I still have time to do that, if you absolutely want me to... "

Kito felt like slapping both of them. So instead he settled with a loud bark that echoed throughout the area causing birds to scatter in the surrounding woods. "Emerson! And whatever you are," He gestured to malemi, "I ask you both compose yourselves! Sophia is right, this is no example for us to set!" (Please tag Hyde without a Jekyll again for me.)

Your- she scratched it out. A few more scratched out words later, she still had nothing.

(There's got to be some reason...) IN a sudden rush she wrote down one sentence on the paper.

Also, you called Jay stupid. He doesn't care but I do. (Or was that someone else in class that sounded like you? I was half asleep so I don't really know.)

That's all I got. If you wanted research on psychology and things I can't give it to you. Have a good life, you're a good teacher I guess.

Gemma set down her pen. Sh'ed given up, and what she had only filled around half a page. Whatever, she couldn't really write more if she didn't have more to say. She ripped the page out of her notebook and sat there awkwardly, not sure what to do now that she had "finished".

"Hm. I suppose I could ask around a bit more, get input from any students I happen to run into. I'm honestly more comfortable with pencil and paper than all these digital devices. Easier to keep track of things." No "the computer ate my homework" excuses, either. "Still, I suppose more data are needed."

Lewis nodded.

"Well, I suppose I had better let you get back to your homework," he observed. "It's been a pleasure, Gemma, Blue Jay."

"Same here!" Gemma said.

"See you!" Blue Jay replied before running off again.

Continue with Blue Jay stealing things?))

Malemi grew silent for a bit before coming up to Jay's ear.

He whispered.

" Then can you perhaps get the key for my collar? "

"I can try! Worst case scenario I fail and get detention." Blue Jay whispered back.

Malemi chewed a claw nervously. This was a bit of a hard request. He looked back to Jay.

" I see...Well nevermind that then. I'll figure something out eventually. "

He looked back to Gemma, still working on the poster.

" How's it coming? "

"Good!" Gemma showed him the mostly finished poster. The figures actually looked pretty good now, and all that was left was to go over it with pen and color it. "I think it will at least catch people's eyes. I just have to remember where the copy machine is..."

" Copy machine's in the office. I'll show you! "

Jumping down from the tree, he waited for his companions below, waving his tail at them.

Gemma nearly fell on her face trying to jump out of the tree, Blue Jay on the other hand just climbed down.

"Away we go!" Gemma punched the air. "TO THE OFFICE!"

" To the office! "

He trotted off into the halls with a twinkling of his bell, wasting no time finding the office. He pushed the door open and lead them into a large spacious area filled with the sounds of clocks ticking. He made his way to the copy machine and sat next to it.

" Right here Gemma! "

"Sweet!" Gemma had finished on the way, Blue Jay keeping her from running face first into a wall the whole time. She tore the page out and set it on top of the copier. "Copy!"

"Gemma... Hate to break it to you but that's not how it works..." Blue Jay took the paper and put it in the machine. "How many copies do you think?"

" Hmmm, I'd say a good 25 copies will do. If we did anymore, the staff will complain. "

He shrugged.

" Maybe 10 extra copies just in case. "

"3.... 5...." Blue Jay pushed the numbered buttons and the papers began to copy. "There!" Gemma looked fascinated and watched the papers in awe.

Malemi looked at her curiously.

" Have you never seen a copy machine copy before? Or are you just that enamored by the machine? "

"This is amazing!"

"She's never seen one." Blue Jay took the printed papers from the machine. "Now we just have to hang them up!"

" Hold on! We need to make sure they're copied right. "

He took the papers from Jay and flipped through them, inspecting them for any problems. He gave them back with a smile.

" Alright, they're all in tip top shape. Let's get some tape and go! "

"Lets put them in the music hallway!"

His bell twinkled as the approached the music hallway, the sound of practicing students growing louder the closer he got.

" One down, 34 to go. "

He sat down and curled his tail around him.

" We could speed this up by putting them on the doors AND walls. "

"That's a great idea!" Gemma grabbed a paper and stuck it to a door. "DONE!"

"You are so lucky the music kids are practicing and no one can hear you.."

" I think they can still hear her... "

He turned an uncomfortable ear to the door and the sound of footsteps approached the door. Malemi moved away from the door and crawled behind Jay, hiding from sight.

Gemma gulped. (Not again)

Blue Jay shrugged and began shuffling through the posters, neatening them.

He peeked out from behind Jay's legs and hissed at Gemma.

" Act Natural! "

Just then, the door clicked open and he leaned back behind Jay.

It was a TA, a lanky upperclassmen who was watching the class while the teacher was out. He looked at Gemma, then to Jay.

" Was that you just now? "

"Nope." Gemma said, her and Jay and thrown together a game of rock paper scissors.

"Not me," Jay said, before starting another round. "Rock, Paper-"
