Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday evening

Willow was bored. So she took her hedgehog Philbert over to the common room to watch TV.

To her delight, Stage Right was on.

Of course it wasn't on a premium channel, so a lot of the swear words were dubbed. But still!

"You'll like this," she told Philbert. "There's dancing!"

Naminé gave the boy an uncertain look. "Are you all right?"

"Women," Jeff replied, not taking his eyes off the television.

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Of all the answers she could have gotten, that was certainly ... not one she'd expected. "Is something wrong with them?"

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
You could have seen Jeff's brain struggling to work again under all of the staring. "...They're not naked," he managed.

Naminé blinked. Well, that was candor for you.

"I believe that's known as pornography," she said helpfully. "Which I don't suppose they'd like us watching in the common room."

"Lots of good movies have naked women in them," Jeff pointed out. He wasn't certain if the sound of his mind tearing itself loose from its fixation was audible. "You've just got to remember to fast-forward to the good bits."

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you for that advice, but I don't actually watch movies for the naked women," Naminé said lightly.

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You should try it some time," Jeff offered, "You can get through a lot of movies in an evening."

"I shall certainly keep that in mind," she nodded, bemused. "Did you by chance see our Acting Principal today?"

She really shouldn't laugh if he was under some sort of bizarre spell.

Jeff... blinked.

For him, that was a downright weird non-sequitur, and he was the King of Non-sequiturs.

"...No," he said, carefully, "I haven't seen her since I brought her flowers weeks ago."

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Right," Naminé said quickly. "Just curious. I wouldn't go to her office again, were I you." Because the last thing this boy needed was more of whatever was wrong with him.

"...I wasn't planning on it," Jeff said, tilting his head at her. Certainly, she was gorgeous (whoomph went the nudity buffer), but that was awfully random. Perhaps there was something wrong with her? "Are you all right?" he asked, concerned.

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine, thank you for asking," she smiled. "I came down here to sketch. Which is probably horribly rude of me, to sit in a common room off to myself."

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
But Jeff was not so easily thwarted. "Are you sure?" he asked.

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Naminé tilted her head at him. "I'm positive," she said slowly. "I always sketch. There's nothing quite so strange about drawing, you know. Lots of people do."

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
And now Jeff's poor confused head was trying to figure out if that was a euphemism.

"Is that a euphemism?" he asked, "I wasn't very good at innuendo class, sometimes I get confused and trip accidentally."

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
"You had a class in innuendo?" Naminé asked. This conversation was starting to make her head hurt.

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
He was going to take that as a 'yes'.

Jeff's internal wires crossed.

He couldn't respond by doing anything other than staring at her-- face. Yes. Face.

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Naminé stared back. "Are you quite certain you didn't hit your head or something today?" she asked nervously. "There's a clinic here, you know. We could go, if you like."

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
He continued staring right up until the point a part of his brain woke up enough to inform him of a particularly important piece of information.

"I have a girlfriend!"

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Right. This poor fellow had clearly had some serious trauma today, regardless of whether he realized it or not. Naminé felt awful about nearly laughing earlier.

She nodded and spoke very soothingly. "How nice for you! That must be rather grand. Is she here?"

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
"...No," Jeff scrambled, "I mean, she's very present-- she's a very present girlfriend, I mean, it's not as if she's-- unpresent. She's just present elsewhere! Close by. ...Just not here."

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
"So she's ... not at Fandom?" Naminé asked, still speaking slowly. And trying to follow this strange chain of conversation. "Do you miss her a great deal?"

[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
"No, no no no!" Jeff said, sounding nervously relieved. How he pulled that one off was anyone's guess, "She's just off being present on another floor."

He paused.

"...I wish she didn't do that."

[identity profile] palestshadow.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
"You could go to her floor," Naminé suggested. "Drop in and say hello? She might like that."

It had occurred to Naminé that this girlfriend might only be a figment of his fractured mind, but she hoped that wasn't true. Except that meant he was in a relationship with some poor girl, and perhaps it was better to hope for the other alternative?
