Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Now that Zack was officially done with classes for the summer, it was time for a little getting out and about and being social. It was also, Zack decided, the perfect time to get the gerbil that Deadpool had given him out for some exercise.

And that was why, armed with a hamster ball and a bunch of notebooks, Zack was hard at work constructing the most epic gerbil floor-maze the second floor common room had ever seen!

Poor, poor Mr. Winkles.

[Open, as common rooms tend to be!]

"Chuck slept with your magazines," Zack echoed incredulously. "Okay, Deadpool's swords were hitting on me, but that was weird. It's someone else's stuff."

"Yeeeeeeeah," he said and laughed ruefully. "I couldn't really stop them, though. I wasn't about to go off and sleep with them."

"They're reading material," Zack agreed. "That's really not what they're for."

He shuddered a little.

"My uniform said an awful lot of interesting things about how it was usually draped over my naked body. Uh. I don't wear that one anymore."

"Yeah, I sort of tossed those magazines," he commiserated. "I really didn't to be reading those after that."

"Leave it to Fandom to ruin the stuff you really like, huh?"

Oh, Fandom.

"Guess that's part of the charm of this place."

"Just means I have to find something better," he laughed. "Charming and challenging."

"Something that would be less horrifying if it were to become human," Zack decided. "Which is almost an excuse to take up some weird hobby, like knitting. Just to be safe."

He could picture a human ball of yarn, now. It resembled his grandmother.

"See, the knitting sticks becoming human would concern me," he said. "What if they became like swordsman?"

"That can't be too bad," Zack noted, grinning and crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm a swordsman. I think I'd have more experience than a pair of knitting needle things."

"Yeah, I guess just about anything weapons wise could be combated in this place," he mused. "There's a lot of variety with that sort of thing."

[puppy_fair]

"Unless it's the weapons that change," Zack decided, shrugging. "Like Deadpool's swords. Those two were just insane. I think they killed my uniform, man."

"At least you didn't have to watch them kill your uniform?" Hannibal said, trying to look on the bright side.

"... You know, you're right? I'm actually really, really glad I missed that," Zack decided.

Silver linings all around!
