Loveless Ideals

[medicalmidas]

Josh rubbed his eyes again to try to get rid of the bleariness. Class was usually boring but not so boring he wanted to go to sleep. He guessed not being able to sleep much was finally catching up to him. After blinking a couple more times, his vision snapped back into its customary sharpness. If sharpness has blurs at the very edges. He looked

While Victor wasn't as out of it as Josh might of been, he wasn't exactly in the best of moods either. Nothing seemed to be going his way as of late in many different respects. No matter how hard he try the reptilian mutant had been unable to focus on any of his work, a case of not caring and not having the motivation; a nice little package rolled into one really

Rolling his eyes, Victor folded his arms over his chest as he balanced his bag on his shoulder, head tilting just a bit. "I knew it. I knew I should have brought my shovel with me when I left my room."

Even if Josh didn't end up telling anyone, Vic wasn't about to just let the subject die. Worse come to worse, he'd do some digging around of his own.

"Come on. I was heading this way anyway. Plus, it's probably better I walk with you just in case you try and attack some poor defenseless person." That, and he just wanted to make sure that Josh did make it back alright.

"Shovels are handy," Josh agreed. "They also go 'klang' against heads and make it easier to get to braaaaaaaaains."

He did a zombie shuffle to turn in the right direction. He blinked and stepped around normally to not head into a wall. He started back to his room. He hoped he got there.

"I don't think there are any defenseless people here. Most anybody could kick my butt with a pillow right now." One hit to the head and he'd run away with the down goodie to try to sleep. Maybe a big collection of pillows could save him.

Unable to help himself, the reptilian mutant snickered softly at Josh's imitation of a zombie. "Down boy. Some of the brains around this place probably taste horrible."

Vic snorted softly and a grin played on his lips as he kept pace alongside Josh his arms having fallen away from his chest to allow his hands to disappear into his pockets once more. "If all it takes is a pillow then you definitely need to look into a sleep aid of some sort." His voice was slightly teasing, but at the same time not. "Because, simply put my friend, that's just sad."

[medicalmidas]

"True. I'm sure the Cuckoos' brains would taste very stringy and overdone. It's the curse of telepathy. That's why telepaths and zombies are natural enemies." Josh had no idea what he was saying. It just tumbled out and he didn't stop it.

"I'm a sad sack anyway," Josh muttered under his breath. He didn't repeat what followed that in the letter that came with the package. "We'll see how everybody else fares when they program the Danger Room to take everyone else with bedding. I'll be the experienced one then..."

He chest puffed with false bravado. He couldn't hold it long and deflated.

"Telepaths and zombies huh? I think I missed that movie when it came out." Vic didn't mind the tumbling out of words, it was entertaining to say the least. Glancing over at the other as something was mumbled, his eyes narrowed curiously but Josh didn't hesitate and kept talking.

Note to self: Find out what that was about later.

The reptilian mutant snorted. "Very true. You'll have one up on all of us in the art of destroying monster pillows."

[medicalmidas]

"Yeah, I don't think they put that into a movie yet. It's just one of those common sense things. Though I'm surprised we're not fighting off zombie hordes every other week. Since all they do is stumble and shamble it would be slo-mo battle. The art of patience as things shamble across the front lawn." Josh just kept going. If he filled the void with sound, maybe he could ignore that damn chirping. Where the hell was that coming from? Who let the finch out of the classroom?

He rubbed his eyes again. "Yeah. Stemming the tides of attack pillows until a mattress takes me out."

He fell silent then. A little abruptly. He was going to find out where that bird was and put a gag in its beak.

[cant_findme]

Victor just listened this time around, an amused grin on his lips as Josh went on about zombie hordes and what not. What a sight that would be huh? X-Men versus Zombies, round one!

He was about to respond to the mattress comment went the golden mutant fell silent suddenly and Vic glanced over at him curiously, eyebrow lifting some. "Josh? You okay?" The reptilian mutant's pace slowed just a bit, upper body turning to look at him more in full.

[medicalmidas]

"Yes. No. I don't know. It's hard to keep a thought going. Is Jay around? I hear tweeting..." Oh, his room could not appear soon enough. Well, he could run, but with the way he had been paying attention, Josh was sure he would run into a wall. And that would come with a bucket of concern poured over his head. Which would be nice any other time. Now, he wasn't sure he wanted it.

He rubbed his temples a little but kept walking. Hopefully not into anybody.
