Roof; Friday Afternoon

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck was bored and tired of hanging around his room so when he finally got out of bed on Friday he decided to get out for a bit. Not to a common room since his post-Thanksgiving hangover wasn't allowing for him to be quite that social at the moment, but he knew he could handle being out on the roof for a bit. It was cold, but nothing Chuck couldn't handle. The scarf did more than make him look fantastic, you know.

"Unless they popped and injured people, right?" Well, he thought that was funny, at least.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Well that's a given," Chuck said. "Nothing like being up close and personal when people are getting hit with a giant Snoopy balloon."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Makes for a good story, at least," he said, snickering. "Anyway, that's not what I did yesterday. Forgot the stupid parade was even on. I helped one of your fellow cooks out on her break."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Well that's one way to work up an appetite," Chuck said with a smirk. "Though now I'm glad I didn't eat any of the food."

Lord knows if there was hand washing after that break.

"Figured it'd be better than just sitting around and saying thanks for all the good things I've been given," he said, shrugging. "You helped cooked but didn't eat?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I only helped with the cooking because it was a school assignment," he said. "That whole family dinner thing really isn't me. And that's not some lame faux-badass loner line, I mean that my family just doesn't do it."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Neither did mine," Alex shared, shrugging. "Doesn't mean I'll pass up free food. I just didn't talk to anyone. Really not a fuzzy sweater wearing guy. Besides, you don't look like a badass loner, anyway."

"I am lacking the requisite leather, aren't I?" Chuck asked. "It's just so tacky..."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Can't really call yourself a badass loner without three days worth of stubble and a leather jacket," Alex told him, shrugging. "That make you some wealthy drifter instead?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, drifter implies I hitch for rides or hop on trains," Chuck said. "Let's go for aloof. Sounds classier."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I can work with aloof," Alex agreed, nodding. "So, if you didn't eat the food, how did you spend yesterday?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I went to church and then I spent the evening getting drunk at the bar." Your typical Thursday, really.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Went to church?" Alex repeated, making a face. "What in the hell for?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck shrugged. "I go every Thursday. I'm friends with the guy who runs the place."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"So, you're not going because you're some religious fanatic?" he questioned. "I really don't wanna be preached to when I'm smoking or anything."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck had to laugh at that because really. "God, no. I'm not that kind of church person at all. That's just scary."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"So, you go just be supportive to your friend?" Alex asked, not quite following. "I didn't think you did that sort of thing."

Of course, Alex didn't know Chuck all that well but, taking him at surface level, he thought that was a good guess.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"You haven't seen what he looks like. That's reason enough to go." Sure, that's not why Chuck went anymore but he wasn't about to get into that squishy friendship crap with Alex, thank you.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

And Alex thanked him for that. He didn't want to talk squishy friendships. "I dunno, it'd have to be a chick for me to go. I really don't go in for guys but to each his own. He ever have anything interesting to say?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Sure he does. Apparently we shouldn't try to attempt to bring people from the dead," Chuck said, completely deadpan. "It can bring on the apocalypse."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"...interesting," Alex said, nodding slightly. "Not something I attempt on an everyday basis but interesting. You know, some girl here told me she's Death so wouldn't that technically be someone dead?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck raised his eyebrows. "I guess it would be. There's been some vampire students. They count as dead. But I guess he was talking about bringing a dead normal person back from the dead."

"This place is fucking nuts," he said and suppressed a shudder. "Bad enough I had to go that nightmare vampire world and get kneed in the balls by some vampire. Really don't like thinking of vampires walking around here."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I don't mind them." Mostly because he knew their blood provided a good high. "But I didn't go over to that other place."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"It was fucked," Alex said bluntly. "And not the good kind of fucking, either. And there were some bitchy ass people there. Sticks up their asses or something."
