Fifth Floor Hallway and Downwards, Thursday Morning

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

The door to 513 creaked open, then slammed shut.

Jeff grabbed for his underwear. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god. "Nudity!" he called out, to no one in particular, "I can't escape it!" His sheer terror seeped down into the carpet below him (at least, he had the idea that it was) and as soon as he stopped being rooted to the ground, he started running.

"Pants!" he cried, "All I've got are pants! I always knew this would happen! It's the Apocalypse! Open your closets!"

And so, he thundered across the hallway, and, after a while, down the stairs. "Closets!"

[ ooopen, of course, for anyone who wants to run into him! ]

Romeo sifted through that and came out with the most important thing.

"So there should be an orgy?"

Jeff abruptly halted his dash down the hallway. He just stopped.

Very, very slowly, his head turned 'round so he could look at Romeo over his shoulder. "Oh, no, Romeo," he said, hushed, "No orgies. There are no orgies in a naked apocalypse. Only dashed dreams."

"It hardly seems fair to get us naked for the apocalypse and deny us an orgy," Romeo grumbled. "But I suppose that's where the dashed dreams come in."

"I don't think," he added kindly, as an afterthought, "this is really the apocalypse. Probably."

"Romeo," he said, or rather, wheezed. He was starting to hyperventilate, "I have no more clothes! There is a treshold for nudity on any man, and we are about to collectively--" he gestured helpfully, "Cross it! At once! So much nudity in one concentrated area might send the world spinning on another axis!"

Romeo would have laughed if Jeff's panic hadn't been so dreadfully catching. He was starting to envision a future that went down precisely that way.

"Do you want my shirt?" he asked, thinking that might help, as he started to unbutton it.

"No!" he said, swiftly, "If you take your shirt off, then the nudity balance remains the same throughout the school! Keep it on!" Jeff was very, very emphatic on this point.

Romeo rebuttoned the thing so as not to give Jeff a heart attack. "All right," he said quickly. "All right, Jeff, peace. I wouldn't want to tilt the nudity balance toward apocalypse."

"Keep the faith," Jeff said, desperately. "Keep it close, Romeo!" He turned so he could resume his running.

Romeo shook his head, went back into his room, and tried desperately to stop thinking about naked apocalypses, orgies, or the combination of the two.
