Occupying a comfy chair near the fireplace is Cisco, with a latte and his tablet.

Most of his day has been spent trying to fix all the damage the latest meta did to S.T.A.R. Labs during an electric rampage, so Cisco wanted to take a break.

On a nearby coffee table is GP the porg. Now fully-fledged, though still immature, GP is wearing a little vest and scampering around on the tabletop playing with Jenga blocks. The little bird-like creature stacks up the block as high as it can get them, then runs at the stack and knocks them over before doing it all again.

Cisco keeps an eye on GP while sipping his drink and reviewing schematics on his tablet.

If he's going to be rebuilding may as well take the time to see if there's opportunity for upgrading, right?

The raft is pretty much finished, and all that's left are final checks and supply runs, which means Yamato has finally had some time to acquire a can of -- well, it's not Grape? It's actually Lychee?

As he and Gabumon enter, there are a few moments where Yamato really considers delivering this to Cisco by way of yelling 'catch' and tossing it at Cisco's head, but he resists that urge.

Instead, he and Gabumon approach like normal people, giving porg and man quick nods by way of greeting. "GP. GP Senior," Yamato says, and sets the can down on the table. "Here. Since you wanted a can to study. Christmas gift."

Unaware of how close he nearly came to being pegged in the head with a can of Soda?, because he definitely would not have caught it, Cisco looks up and gives Yamato a 'what's up?' nod.

"Yams, dude, you came through!"

GP rushes to the edge of the table and squawks at Gabumon, "ARAAWW!"

"Gabumon," Cisco greets, "Barry told me you grew out of the puffball stage."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Araaww!" Gabumon replies to GP, raising his arms. Then, to Cisco: "We all did! I can breathe fire now."

Yamato grins a little, settling down next to Cisco. "Of course I came through. It's not like it's difficult to get this stuff, and I was on a supply run anyway," he says. "GP's getting pretty big. He'll be taller than both of us soon."

In spirit, at least.

[makes_the_toys]

"ARAAWW!" GP squawks again, raising his wings up into the air.

"Definitely wanna see that," Cisco says, pointing to Gabumon.

He nods about GP. "Yeah, he even flies a little now." Not terribly well, but GP is getting there.

"But hey, you're not the only one coming through, watch my porg, I'll be right back."

He stands up, holding a 'wait here' hand at Yamato.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato gives a quick nod, to indicate that he'll totally wait around and watch GP, no need to worry about that.

Once Cisco's gone, Gabumon glances at GP and then says, very thoughtfully: "I'm going to teach him how to steal."

"Don't you dare."

Dumbledore is off to one side, sitting at the bar and minding his business while he sips a coffee and reads to himself. He only looks up when he notices the movements of something small as it scampers around, making tiny sounds as it knocks over Jenga blocks. Which, admittedly, is goddamned adorable.

"What a cute little creature," he says, watching the porg scuttle around the the table.

[makes_the_toys]

The porg loses one of its blocks over the edge of the table and starts squawking at Cisco who bends down and retrieves it.

Handing the block back to GP, Cisco looks over and smiles at the man.

"Thanks, he tries."

[chambermusicandtenpins]

"What sort of creature is he, might I ask?" he says, looking at the porg a little more intently. For a moment, he wishes Newt Scamander had access to this place -- surely he would be delighted by the sight of such an adorable and curious little animal.

[makes_the_toys]

"He's a porg," Cisco answers. "His name is GP."

GP takes the block and uses it to start a new stack.

"He's uh, from another galaxy than mine."

[chambermusicandtenpins]

"Ah! Well, hello then, GP," he says to the porg, looking delighted. "That must be extraordinary, being able to look after creatures from galaxies outside your own."

The jenga blocks catch Nichola's attention first. And then she sees the... bird...rabbit?

"Oh my god. What on earth is that?"

Of course, she has to come closer to get a better look.

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco glances up, and then does a double-take.

Remembering the crazy lady with the ninja-sword, Cisco jumps up and snatches GP from the table, holding the porg who gives a surprised squawk close.

"Hey lady, you leave him alone, he's not hurting anybody."

[omgplsstop]

Nichola has no idea what just happened.

"Wh... What?" she asks, about as confused as a person could possibly be.

[makes_the_toys]

"Oh, I'm sorry, were you not waving a deadly sword around last time like this was the Fruit Ninja playoffs?" he replies, putting GP up on his shoulder.

[omgplsstop]

Well. She kind of prefers a sword to anything else, so probably?

"Are you okay?" she asks.

There's nothing unusual about swinging a sword around, obviously.

Cassian enters with a glance over his shoulder, he's not feeling safe at the moment. A few messages he's gotten from a contact don't seem right and he needs space to make sense of them.

When he sees Cisco and GP, he blinks and walks over as he tries to make sense of what he's seeing, "Why's he wearing a vest?"

[makes_the_toys]

"Because he's got style," Cisco answers without lifting his attention from his screen.

He finishes a note, then folds up his tablet case and looks up at Cassian.

"Also, cats. What up, Cass?"

[childofrebellion]

"Does the vest do something to cats?" It seems like something Cisco would program if he could.

[makes_the_toys]

"Protects him from claws and teeth?" Cisco replies, glancing at GP who squawks loudly and then topples the stack of blocks again.

"It's kind of like a stab vest, with some modifications for easier porg wear."

[childofrebellion]

"That's useful," Cassian laughs as the tower falls down and sits, rolling his neck and looking for a wait rat. "What are you working on?"

Hera notices the porg first. She leans in slightly to get a closer look, before she says to the bird, or perhaps to herself, "You look just like my latest stowaway."

And then she glances up, guessing whoever supplied the vest might be nearby.

[makes_the_toys]

The porg looks up at her with wide, unblinking eyes, then screeches.

"ARAAAW! ARAAAW! AROO!"

Cisco looks up from his tablet, startled.

"Hey man, chill out." Realizing he and GP are not alone, Cisco throws up a sheepish look. "Oh, hey. Sorry."

She's green!

[for_everyone]

Hera just raises her eyebrows at the porg. That sounds like her stowaway, too.

As she glances up, "I guess he's yours?"

[makes_the_toys]

"Yeah, he's mine," Cisco replies with a sigh. "Adopted."

GP trills, and then gets back to playing with blocks.

[for_everyone]

That does get a smile from Hera.

"My droid had a similar idea."
