"So...how's life treating you?" Rabid was hungry for conversation.
Malachi smiled and sat where he was, letting go of his dragon plush and, realizing he'd squished it in his trek, gave it a hug too. It morphed back to its usual form quite quickly.

Chao tilted her head, how was she? "Erm, well pretty good I suppose, save for the suddenly odd sleep schedule and school. You?"
Reid tilted his head and crawled a bit further so that he was sitting next to Ike and gave the other boy's dragon a fond pat, it'd been a good game. Yawning he leant against the other Mishap, using his shouler as a pillow while giving his a quizzical 'what now?' sort of look.

"Well, that's good," Rabid thought for a moment, "No better or worse than usual, I guess."
Malachi looked down at Reid and huffed, thinking. A small smile crept across his face. He slowly made his way to Crazy Hair Lady's bag and reached in, removing a handful of multicoloured candies. He returned to Reid and held his hand out, offering them to him.
"Eh?" he asked, as if it were a real word.

Chao nodded then leant over, suddenly remembering the shirt they'd been trying to save. Peering at the sink she turned off a tap and poked at the garment inside, "looks like the bleach and such is working.
"Eh?" Reid repeated, looking curiously at the multicolored candies. Taking one he delicately sniffed at it, then gave Malachi a curious look, unsure of what to exactly do with the strange, good smelling thing.

"...and stuff? What else is in there?" Rabid leaned over too, although not able to see much of anything.
Malachi grinned, proud to be the knowing one for once. He grabbed one end of a red candy's wrapper in his teeth. He grabbed the other end with his free hand and pulled. The candy barrel rolled and dropped into his lap. He picked it up and put it in his mouth, smiling.

"Water mostly, and... everything that water intails? And time, time is helpful," Chao replied with a nod.
Reid blinked, watching Malachi closely to make sure he got everything. Once the other boy was done he carefully followed suit with his own, green colored candy; unwrapping it with two hands then quickly grabbing the candy with a third and popped it into his mouth. With a quiet murmur of contentment and a smile at the taste he reflexively placed two his hands together, crumpling the paper with the result of a crackle of noise, causing his already warm glow to strengthen a bit.

"You may have just saved an entire wardrobe," Rabid smiled widely at Chao, "I owe you one." This had been the first accident involving highly-staining liquid...but Rabid was fairly certain that it wouldn't be the last.
Malachi watched Reid unwrap his candy and cocked his head to one side at the noise the wrapper made. He dropped the rest of the candies on the floor and took the wrapper of his between his hands, smashing them together to create the crinkling sound. He giggled slightly and repeatedly crumpled the little translucent square.

"Oo! Do I get some kind of shiny medal then?" Chao asked with a grin and a raise of her eyebrows before regarding the sink and letting out some of the water, pulling out the once stained sleeve.
"Seriously though, don't mention it. I have been taught in the wise ways of stain removal and am merely glad to pass on that wisedom."
Grinning Reid began to rapidly mash and unmash his paper, then slowed down, then began to alternate; fast, slow, fast, fast, fast, slow.

"Actually, yes," Rabid bent over the side of the washer, reaching into her bag and pulling out a little pad of gold star stickers, sticking one on Chao's sleeve, "There." She gave a childish grin and laughed.
Malachi rolled the wrapper between his hands, finding it to make a slightly different noise than smashing it. He alternated between the two sounds, listening intently to the noises he and Reid were making. His ears twitched and swiveled.
Swish. Crush. Swishswish. Smash.
Rabid turned toward the boys, arching an eyebrow.

Laughing warmly Chao mock saluted Rabid, "I will wear it will pride, Sir, Ma'am, Sir."
Reid nodded lightly, slowly down a bit between his alteration, between a faster and a slower pace of crunching and giggled at he began to fill in the gasps between Malachi's sounds.
Crunch. Swish. Crrruuuunnnnch. Swishswishswish.crunch. Crunchcrunch. Swiiiishcrunchswish.
Chao followed Rabid's line of vision and frowned, shivering suddenly, "Rabid, do you suddenly feel the sight of impending doom falling on you too?"

Malachi giggled at the noise. So it wasn't as good as the black head-things, but it was still decent. He then looked up toward Crazy Hair Lady and waved, still rolling his wrapper of the floor, not wanting to stop the sound.
"Oh, I do," Rabid shook her head, "Gods, I do..." Having a musical child wasn't what scared her. It was the great amount of things a child could find musical.
She made a mental note to hide anything made of metal.

Reid grabbed another of the candies with his free hands, unwrapping it and offering it to his dragon, who was now quietly situated in his lap then adding yet another bout of crackling sound to their song. Grinning he looked up towards his mother.
"Glad it's not just me then," Chao's thoughts had immediately gone in a similar direction, dancing along with a great many mental images of toddlers and children with pots and pans and metal ladles. She cringed in response to Reid's grin.

Malachi peered at Reid's new candy and subsequently unwrapped all of the others, tossing the candies themselves aside. He placed the wrappers in front of him, smashing them into the floor and rolling his palm over them. He giggled crazily at the new noise.
"Yup," Rabid watched the mishaps with morbid curiosity. This whole event could either go in a very good or very bad direction.

Reid giggled and leant over, sliding one of his wrappers against one of Malachi's, letting out quiet "ooo" when another new sound was made.
"So..." Chao said, glancing over at Rabid, "Gambino's nice this time of year. I'm sure no one would notice if we went on a 'vacation' without them until they'd figured out how to carry a tune, right?"

Malachi quickly shoved all of the wrappers into a pile and pushed down on them with both hands. Another sound! He giggled and stepped back, allowing Reid room to try.
"I agree completely," Rabid arched and eyebrow and her face took on a sincerely terrified expression, "Remind me to burn everything that's not padded."
