Show off whatever you decided to wear to this shin-dig. Hootinanny.

What Peter had decided to wear to this shin-dig was... pretty much what he usually wore, if scaled up a little bit for the opportunity. He hadn't let Val coerce him into coming this time - he was fully intent on working the room and finding some people with powers to throw in with.

"Hey!" Topher said around a mouthful of hot dog. "'Sup? Lame party, right?"

Guess who didn't know that things were currently tense between them?

"Topher," Peter greeted. Amicably. Sort of. "I just got here, so I wouldn't know."

He hadn't forgotten about you bringing infectious alien goo into his room, no.

"Food's good," Topher supplied helpfully. "Except that, uh, casserole thing." Some lucky person would be fortunate enough to find a small plate of it abandoned on the food table!

"Seems kind of weird they'd throw a dance the week before that whole picnic thing. Like, come on, who's that social?"

...Most people...?

"Oh, I don't know," Peter drawled, "It might be because last year's seniors are leaving, or getting a chance to socialise with one's familiars before diving into the throng of chattering newbies. So to speak."

Yes, he decided, he was going to leave the porn in Topher's room as soon as possible. Maybe tomorrow.

Meow.

Topher whistled. "Someone doesn't like par-ties!" he sing-songed. Reaching to try to pat Peter on the shoulder, he comforted him, "Don't worry, man. It'll be over before you know it."

One day he would actually use his genius powers to interpret someone's behavior, you know, correctly. Maybe. Not today.

The look Topher got upon patting him may have radiated I am going to take your hand off. A little.

"Actually, I'm fine with parties," he said. "I'm a little less fine with people leaving microbes all over my possessions. Really, Topher?"

Ooookay, Peter had officialy gone from grouchy to scary.

"Ooooh," Topher winced. "You mean, uh. With the... rock... thing."

Yes, Topher. With the rock-thing.

"I was wearing gloves!" he hastened to defend himself.

Gloves that he had left on.

Peter's expression shifted to friendly. "Topher, buddy, no need to get defensive," he said. "I'm just wondering if you know what gloves were meant for."

"Uh, yeah," Topher said, like it was obvious. "To avoid touching the rock."

Duh.

Re: Arrive/Mingle lockestheway August 20 2011, 15:11:12 UTC
"And why do we avoid touching the rock...?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle dollpocalypse August 20 2011, 15:12:49 UTC
"Oh!" He got a little eager at the opportunity to answer that question. "Because it turned people into grey monster things."

TRUFAX.

"Right," Peter said. "Right, very good. I'm glad we got that cleared up. By the way, I still have a pair of your gloves. I should come drop those off."

Along with the porn.

"Oh, nah, you can keep 'em," Topher said generously. Then he cocked his head thoughtfully. "Or... they might even be toxic waste, at this point. Are there any biohazard centers nearby?"

Well, there's a thought!

"That's your problem to deal with, though, isn't it?" Peter asked. "What with them being your gloves."

Were you getting it yet, Topher?
