4th Floor Common Room, Monday Morning

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John was in the common room, using the wafflemaker, stereo playing all of Disintegration by The Cure. On repeat. And singing softly.


remembering you
standing quiet in the rain
asi ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in
holding you close
how i always held close in your fear
remembering you
running soft through the night
you were bigger
and brighter than the snow
and screamed at the make-believe
screamed at the sky
and you finally found
all your courage to let it all go

"You've got good taste in music." Billy said, entering the common room. "And do I smell waffles?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"You smell waffles. Help yourself. Stack on the counter there."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks man. So, uh, what prompts the kick ass but thematic music?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"...were you here this weekend? Much too much wrong."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I was here. Something happen to you?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I... It was just a weird weekend, y'know?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"yeah. I'm almsot disappointed that I seem to be the only guy who didn't get hit on."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Dude, so wasn't worth it. So. Wasn't. Worth. It."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Now Billy was curious. "At the risk of traumatizing you further, who hit on you?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Setsuna. In front of Ranma."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy didn't know the history of Setsuna and Ranma. But judging by the context, they apparently had history. Or were actually dating now. Or not anymore.

"Eeesh." he winced.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"YEah. Ranma took it very well. By 'very well' I mean we're still alive. THough I should look in on him, see if he's okay."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Think you might need back up?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Nah. Wait. Maybe. I dunno. Got a bazooka?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

No but I bet I could get a hell of a discount on one.

"Fraid not. He's got superpowers?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Uh... he can turn into a girl? He's good at fighting, and... he's an ass. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, though. Uh, eats like a pig."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well I'm not too bad at the fighting myself. Can't, uhm, turn, into a girl though. that's weird."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"You're telling me. It's supposed to be normal for him. Or something. Which is just crazy. WHat next, someone turning into a cat or duck or something? Pfft."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Different worlds different ways I suppose. You think everyone on his world can do that?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"God I hope not. There'd be tons of people who turn into, like, pandas or ox carrying yeti holding octopus or something bizarre. Freaky. I just wonder if he can teach me some fighting skills. I'm out of practice with this cast on."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I've been wondering about the cast. How long do you have to have it on?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Uh..." John rubbed the back of his head. "Nowish? I keep forgetting to go down to the clinic and have it torn off. I'll need to find my cane, too. Leg'll be weak."

He looked at it. "PLus? It's so purty with the signatures."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they'll let you keep it as a souvenire. Is that from the Trolls?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Damn right tehy better let me keep it. Hey, if youw anted, I could make one for you. With a machine gun in it or something."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy snickered a bit. "Heh. No thanks. The guns I have are plenty."
