Dorm Lobby, Monday After Classes

[swerval_zero]

Zero set up camp at a card table with a hand-lettered sign on the front:

EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE!
Sign this petition to show you want Alec to stay
Get a discount on admission to my new movie!

He does not have hairy toes!

It's not a bribe, it's an incentive.

Oh, yeah, she also had a basket of lollipops for petition-signers.

Now Zero was confused. "You mean he's not? And less than a year is plenty of time to learn all about the world and human interaction, huh?"

"They are best friends, but it makes me feel sick to have to admit that. And less than a year is plenty of time to learn how to be a decent human being."

"...Get over yourself," was all Zero could dredge up at that. "I feel sorry for you, Sam, I really do."

[likethegun]

Sam scowled as he started to stalk away. "Thanks Zero. But I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me."
