The first thing that hit Cajag as he woke up was the dry, slightly furry and tangy sensation in his mouth. It felt like something had crawled in there and died. Then came the pain in his head. It felt like he had been hit around the head by a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick. But it couldn't be that bad because someone was licking his face, it was warm, soft and wet....if a little smelly, actually very smelly, like Satan's fart smelly. Still not a bad way to be woken up.

"Easy Babe" he said, more to himself then anyone sharing a bed with him. Though as he rolled onto his side he soon discovered he was actually laying on something really hard. It felt more like a floor, as Cajag moved his arm about him, with his eyes still closed, he felt several, what he assumed to be glasses by the noise they made, things fall over. The licking persisted and his arm limply tried to push away who ever was licking him. But then his hand hit something furry.

Cajag's eyes shot open. Standing next to him was a llama. A live Llama! Caj, jumped to his feet and instantly regretted it as the world spun violently and he fell onto a nearby sofa. Catching his equilibrium Caj tried to take a blurry look at his surroundings. It appeared to be some sort of hotel room. But it was a mess. Bottle and cans were strewn across the room, scattered amongst these empty or half empty drinks, were a number of various takeaway boxes.

The replicator seemed to be slowly but steadily creating miniature cuddly toy pandas, filling them up completely then tipping out onto a small pile on the floor. Several multi coloured balloons, gently glided along the ceiling above him. Written on one wall seemed to be some sort of maths and genetics, theory......and then their was the Llama.

~Oh and apparently I am only wearing underpants!~ Exclaimed Caj to himself.

Being asleep on the sofa, Ravi took the full landing of someone falling on top of her legs. It was a relief that whoever/whatever it was hadn't landed the other side and onto her head, however that was where the relief and good things ended.

Sqawking a protest as her legs took the blow of a slanting person, she snatched her legs up towards her body and assumed the foetal position, just in time to clear the fall and only being caught on the ankles. It was still a very painful experience though and hearing a male voice, talking about his underpants, Ravi seriously wondered if she had died in her sleep and gone straight to meet Lucifer himself. The screaming behind her eyes appeared to confirm this so she closed them and thought to perhaps "reboot" before opening them again.

It didn't work. It was still the same, whatever this scene was in front of her blurry vision. "Who the name of the Pah-Wraiths are you, where are your clothes, and what is that you're getting intimate with? Is it a ..... giant goat-hybrid?" she asked, several questions and horrible ideas all raising their ugly heads at once.

"Ahhhhhh!" came the shrill scream from Caj as he realised he was not alone. He leapt to his feet, very ungracefully, one hand covering his briefs, the other arm covering his upper chest in a vain effort to hide is modesty and embarrassment. "It's a Llama" responded the trill grumpily then his eyes began to un-blur and re-focus. Then he saw woman with him. He instantly turned his back out of politeness and focused on the wall. "Ravi is that you?"

"Of course it's me." she began with a tone that implied it was a ridiculous question but then she began to falter "I'm.......". She was all about being judgemental of Caj for being nearly naked and confused and yet here she was..... She grabbed the shrug off the back of the sofa and covered herself as well.

"Why are we both in our underwear and why is it so hot in here?" she asked, trying to work out what was going on.
