PitViper darted through the hallway, throwing nervous glances over her shoulder. There was no sign of her pursuer, at least not yet, so now was a good time to find a hiding place. A door loomed up in front of her; she could hear voices and high-pitched giggling coming through. With a shrug, she turned the knob and opened it.
The Boarder halted in her tracks, her eyes wide. "...Oh. I'm... I'm terribly sorry, I... I... I seem to have... oh."
"Hello, Pit," Cassie greeted cheerfully, acting for all the world like she wasn't standing around in her lingerie.
"Hi," Phobos put in. He was also half-naked, and bound upright and spread-eagled to what appeared to be a large mounted wheel. It was still spinning slowly, finally halting when the Boarder was upside down. There were various other odds and ends in the room, and in... certain places.
"Buh," was all PitViper could manage at first. She examined the scene before her more closely. "O... Kay... Is that a tea cozy?"
"Yep," Phobos replied, his face flushed from being upside-down.
PitViper's head tilted to the side.
"You'll never guess how many spoons it took," Cassie told her proudly.
PitViper decided to hazard an educated guess. "Um. Three?"
"No. Just one."
"Oh. Okay." PitViper gestured vaguely over her shoulder. "I'm going to, uh... you know. Go. I have to go... iron. My... shoes. New shoes. Goodbye."
Turning, she left the room and closed the door behind her. She could hear Cassie's voice inside saying, "Now, where were we?" right before PoorCynic appeared right the hell out of nowhere and tackled her enthusiastically to the ground.
When PitViperOfDoom woke up she had trouble remembering how she had come to be lying naked in this unfamiliar bed. The last thing she recalled clearly was PoorCynic appearing right the hell out of nowhere and tackling her. Where was he, anyway? She turned her head and found that he was sitting in a chair nearby, just watching her as he peeled a hard-boiled egg.
"Ah, good," he said. "I was wondering when you would wake up."
"Um, yeah," said PitViper, "thanks for making sure I was all right, but I have to be going. I have... soccer... rehearsal."
"But you can't go yet," he said as he stood up. "I made this hard-boiled egg for you."
"No thanks," said PitViper as she edged toward the door. "I'm not hungry."
"Who said anything about you eating the egg?"
"Wait... what are you...? Oh god, why? No...oh, I see. Continue."
Some time later, PitViper had managed to escape PoorCynic; it had taken four rounds of enthusiastic activity before he passed out, leaving her free to tiptoe away and then run like the wind once she was out of earshot.
As she leaned against a wall to catch her breath, she heard footsteps approaching, and looked around hurriedly for a place to hide. A nearby door presented itself as the ideal solution, and she dived through and locked it at once.
She froze, however, as an arm encircled her waist from behind. "Hello there," a familiar, female voice murmured. "We thought you wouldn't be coming back..."
"I... uh..." ...wasn't planning to, PitViper thought, but the words died on her lips as she was drawn away from the door and across the room. She noticed the large mounted wheel was now empty and pushed to one side to make way for - "Is that a giant beanbag in the shape of a bed?"
"Yep," said Phobos proudly, from his prone position on it.
"How'd you even get it in here?"
"You're asking silly questions," Cassie muttered, tugging PitViper down onto it. Phobos reached over to pull both girls closer, and very soon all thoughts of questions, silly or otherwise, were the last thing on PitViper's mind.
