Bang. Bang. Bang. The girl winced as Gabriella started knocking the spoons against the floor. Frustrated she nearly slammed the spoons down on the table. A silent reprimand from the Matron led to a deep supposedly calming breath. Finally the boy brought another high-chair and lifted Gabriella into it.
The girl put a hunk of dough and a cookie cutter in front of Gabriella, and turned to Xenres. "Here. You push the dough out.. and press the cutter into it." The girl demonstrated, cutting a star out of the cookie dough. She turned to repeat the same thing for Gabriella, hoping the distraction would get the girl to drop the spoons.

Gabriella squirmed and fussed a bit as she was lifted into the highchair. She couldn't make noise on the floor anymore! That was until she was presented with dough and a cookie cutter....
She dropped the spoon in her hand, letting it hit the floor below with a clang. She stared at the shiny piece of metal and the cookie dough for a minute, watching as the older girl demonstrated how they were used. Having seen Xenres put some dough in his mouth, she took some and ate it too. While it didn't taste like cookie, it was ok, and even better, it was squishy!
Experimentally, Gabriella picked up the cookie cutter as well, and tried banging it on the high chair tray. It made noise too! She grinned and kicked her legs excitedly, alternating between squishing the dough in her hands and banging the cookie cutter.

Xenres winced at the constant banging by the other toddler. He eyed the cookie cutter in one hand and poked at the dough with the other. Flatten? He put the cutter down, open his hands, and started slapping the dough down into a flatter shape. Smack. Smack. Smack. Smack. His arms started to get tired and he eyed the dough. It seemed flat enough... He picked up a cutter and brought it down on the dough. His eyes went wide when he picked the cutter back up. Where'd the dough go? He looked at the cutter and blinked. How'd it get there? Would it go away if he brought it down on the dough again? He started banging the cutter against the table, using the dough as a silencer. Dough went flying as he brought it down randomly and quickly raised it. Xenres grinned. This was fun!

Splatters of dough went flying everywhere. About to tell the two off the girl reconsidered. At least they were having fun and couldn't make too bad of a mess. She just wouldn't give them more dough. The girl nodded and went back to making her own cookies.

Eventually Xenres got tired of losing dough and eyed the cutter again. Still dough in there. He shook it some, then poked his finger at it. The dough moved. He pulled the dough out, looked around, then gathered all the dough he could reach into a pile in front of him. It went together nicely. He pushed and shoved the dough together until it became a single mass. He then pulled at part of it, forcing it to grow an arm. He giggled with glee and started pushing and pulling the dough into all sorts of shapes.

In her excitement and banging, Gabriella eventually lost her grip on the cookie cutter and it fell to the ground with a clatter. She looked over the side of her tray and reached for it helplessly, starting to fuss a bit. She wanted her noisemaker back!

A clatter and the girl spun around, an expression of dismay on her face. "Oh, no no no no. No!" Irritated the girl scooped up the cookie cutter and placed it onto the highchair's tray. "Now don't go throwing it around! Next time I won't put it back!" Huffing she turned back to the table.

Niki grinned as she sat up upon the wardrobe. Tali hadn't found her! Or most of the others, either, it seemed... She waved down at the searchers. "Think you could move the chair closer so I can get down? Someone moved it..."

"Yup. Time's up already.." He nodded at Parmida and Manelin. "And you, Manelin, were lucky. We would have found you!" He grinned at the two. Tali turned and stuck his tounge out at Niki after she spoke up.
"Dunno," he teased. "Maybe you can stay up there."

Gabriella frowned at the girl's harsh tone. She didn't understand all of the words she said, but she knew when someone was angry. What had she done to deserve to be scolded? She had only dropped her toy, and not even on purpose. Sniffling a little, she picked up the cookie cutter once it was on the tray and hugged it to herself, not noticing or caring that it was getting her jumper dirty with dough in the process.
"Mine..." she said firmly as the girl walked away. Now that she had it back, no one else was going to get it.

((*chants to self "Manelin - Toddler, Parmida - Child"))
Manelin slid off the shelf, picked up his shoes, and wandered over towards Tali. He then blinked as he looked up at Niki. "Chair?" he asked, dumbfounded for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Oh! Chair!" He went over to the chair, sat down, put his shoes on, stood up, and loudly shoved the chair over to the wardrobe. "Like this?"
Parmida shoved the door open a bit more and poked her head out to look at Tali. She then blinked and looked up to see Niki before shrugging and stepping out. She gently closed the door behind her and readjusted the chair so that Niki could easily step down onto it. "Can you get down now?"
Xenres looked at the other toddler out of the corner of his eye as he continued to play with the dough. ((Play-dough, Play-doh! 4laugh ))

Nikiana grinned at Tali. "You never would've found me!" She watched as Manelin, then Parmida moved the chair closer so she could get down. "Thanks."
After a few moments of pondering, and then a few more spent hanging down, trying to get her feet onto the chair, 002 ended back up on the ground, grinning at Tali still.

"Would so!" Tali stuck his tounge out at his best friend before turning to everyone else. "I hope they're ready for the party now! I can't wait, well.. Kinda. You guys think we're going still have roommates when we go to the tower?" Tali fell quiet for a moment before shaking his head. "Well, I suppose there's time to talk later. Let's go see if the Matron's are ready for us."
He leaned over and blew out the nearest candle, making sure the one in his hand was still lit. He grinned brightly at nothing in particular trying hard to keep himself from gripping the lit candle nervously.
The girl merely sneered at the dough as she heard the toddler crow, "Mine!" Reaching across the table she snagged a roller and began to pound the dough out.

Manelin wandered around the room, picking up candles, blowing them out, and sticking them in his pockets as he went. Soon all of Manelin's candles had been picked up and placed in his pocket - save the lit one he held in his hand - and Manelin walked over to Tali. He hoped they could wait a little before the party, he had to go potty!
Parmida picked up her candle and returned to the group, a little unnerved by the lack of light now. "So... who's going up the stairs first?" Did Tali closed the door after he came down? She thought it had been open...
Xenres was having oh-so-much fun with the dough. He had begun making little shapes out of parts of the dough and setting them to the side...

Niki dusted her new clothing off, shrugging at Tali's question. "I dunno..." She picked up her own candle and joined the group, looking around to make sure that everyone had gathered together and that no one was getting left behind.
"I'll go first..." 002 volunteered herself, thinking that the faster someone did, the quicker they could get out of here and to the party.
She climbed up the stairs, slowly in the reduced light. Her hand, the one that didn't hold the candle, groped the air, searching for the doorknob. The candle came closer and fell dully upon the dusty knob. Niki grabbed it and turned. Well, tried to turn.
"Uh... Tali? I... uh... well... The door's stuck... er... well, I think it's... uh... locked."
