Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Night

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Okay, so there had been zombies Monday night. That had kind of sucked. But they all got away okay, and now Sokka had zombies on the brain. Which is why he and Momo Jr. and a thick snuggly blanket and a bucket of popcorn and a bottle of Mountain Dew all sat down together for a zombie movie marathon. Really, what else could you do?

Sokka shrugged. "Ooooookay. Well, if you want to tell me what's up, I'm all ears. In the meantime, sit down and enjoy the zombies."

Turtle realized that this was a great moment to say something fairly clever.

She took a moment to make sure she didn't let it go to waste before shrugging back. "Well, I'd much rather enjoy these ones than the ones outside," she supplied.

Sokka nodded. "Well, I can see where you might."

It took half a second.

"...OUTSIDE? Like, HERE? NOW? TODAY? No, we beat the snot out of them on Monday and sent them crying for mommy!" Sokka may be misremembering Monday evening's events somewhat.

Turtle shook her head. "Nope. Guess again. They might have gone crying for mommy, but only just so mommy...and daddy...and second cousins...and great-great-uncle thrice removed....could come and join them."

"MORE zombies???" Sokka asked. "An invasion???"

His eyes strayed to the window, and two basic, primordial instincts warred within him. Eventually, one won.

"...Maybe we'd better stay safely indoors until morning, and THEN go kill them. Want to sit down and do research?"

Turtle grinned over at Sokka. "Already ahead of you. If anything, I think this is an excellent way to research. No point in going out to face a situation unless you're fully up to speed on what you're getting into."

Sokka nodded. "Rule number one: DON'T GET BITTEN. Rule number two: Destroy their brains."

"...Okay, that is pretty straightfoward," Turtle had to admit. "But this can help us be creative about it."

"Or, at least, learn what NOT to do," Sokka agreed. "For example: splitting up and searching the house separately? SO not a good idea."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Nope!" Turtle agreed. "Also, now is a bad time to first have sex with your significant other."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Which is a shame," Sokka pointed out. "Because sex is nice and distracting and stress-relieving. You have to wonder how the horror-movie monsters always know who has and who hasn't."

Turtle's head tilted a little.

"Do you think they can smell it? Jeff says his mother can smell stuff like that, but, one, Jeff's crazy, and two, Jeff's mother practically is a horror movie monster, so the theory would hold water."

Sokka's head tilted to match hers. "Well, if it was recent enough, they could..."

He raised an eyebrow at Turtle. "You had to MEET his mother??? The one he lives in terror of?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle nodded a little, then thrust her chin up in the air defiantly. "I actually gave her a piece of my mind, too."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka grinned. "Go you!!!" Then he raised an eyebrow at her, not sure how to phrase the next question. "Sooooo... how much of his crazy is for real?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"All of it," Turtle said, immediately, without even taking a moment to doubt it. She shook her head, her eyes a little wide. "In fact, I think Jeff plays it down a little. I'm so glad he's eighteen now. Now I just have to keep reminding him that, now that he's eighteen, he is legally his own man."

"And in a different universe," Sokka reminded her. "When you graduate and take him home, she can't ever get him again. Unless she has Portalocity's number."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle blushed a little at that. "Uh, actually, he's graduating a whole year before me," she said, tugging her fingers a little. "And heading back to his London. He's setting up a franchise, though. Our second Turtle & Canary store, international and interdimensional." She gave a nervous sort of chuckle. "Pretty cool, right?"
