Meanwhile, back at the Ebonhide Junior Dude Cabin...

[waitingforsuperman]

Who: Middle Bear Boys
When: Fricking early on Tuesday
Where: We're on Cabin Time, baby
What: An infestation (?)
Warnings: Lots of screaming

 For the most part, all is quiet in the hush of the early morning. A few enterprising birds are singing, and the light coming through the windows is a murky, dishwater sort of gray. It's an average start to another mediocre Tuesday and Thaddeus Butterfield awakens to it nothing being much different at all...

Except he has a visitor.

Sitting on his chest.



His new passenger stares back at him with a sleepy sort of expectation and shoots him a tiny thumbs up.

At first, Teddy isn't sure why he feels oddly short of breath. For whatever reason, his chest is heavy, and he can't quite get a lungful of air. A stray thought crosses his mind, maybe I'm getting sick, accompanied by a small groan as he makes himself wake up and face it. His bunk is small, always a bit of a struggle for someone tall and a bit on the heavier side, and he starts to disentangle himself from the covers.

Only he can't quite move. There is something on his chest.

Teddy cracks open one eye, balefully focusing on whatever rests there, and his brain just....stops working. The scene is so incongruous that he cannot fathom it. There is a long, long few seconds where he just stares at the raccoon on his chest.

The raccoon that gives him a thumbs up.

Maybe Teddy would have put two and two together at that moment, but he's just waking up and he's not the most alert of morning people. Instead, the Ebonhide junior cabin gets treated to a short scream, and then chaos as both student and raccoon tumble out of the bunk and onto the floor in a heap of tangled blankets, both scrambling to get free with differing degrees of success.
