[TODAY in mutant cabin there is a lizard kid in the common room.

judging from the fact that he has thrown off all the cushions on the couch, you may assume he is looking for something]

[well at least it's not that much messier than usual]

Lose something important, Victor?

[skinofalizard]

[sdafjklasd

kind of vanishes, for a second, from the surprise]

Uh--Jay. Um...sort of? Just...you know...it's probably not here, but I thought...well...maybe?

[romeowned]

... Alright. What were you looking for, exactly? Maybe I can help.

[skinofalizard]

No!

--I-I mean...uh...no, thanks. That's okay it's nothing important just, uh...just a book. A boring book. A really, really boring book.

[romeowned]

[oh no]



Oh. Um, well, if you're sure you don't need help--

[skinofalizard]

Yeah. It's just...you know...really boring.

[romeowned]

But you still want to find it.

[skinofalizard]

...yes.

[romeowned]

[would giving it back be more awkward than just throwing it away somewhere?

would there ever be enough head trauma to forget the embarrassment of admitting to having taken the album?

would standing here awkwardly be helpful at all?]

[skinofalizard]

[no

to...all of those]

Oh--Jay, um...if you see a book with just a plain brown cover, can you let me know? But don't open it! ...because of how boring it is.

[romeowned]

Um...

[skinofalizard]

What is it?

[romeowned]

[boy those couch cushions sure are interesting]

Uh... nothing, nevermind.

[skinofalizard]

[TEN MINUTES EARLIER...]

[rockyourbody]

[I REALLY NEED TO BORROW SOME OF GUTHRIE'S UNDERWEAR]

[skinofalizard]

[feel the need for some tighty whities, huh? well, you know where they are]

[rockyourbody]

[the cats and i just made a fort using the bunk beds and some blankets, and now we need a flag to hang from the top. so, yeah, opening guthrie's underwear drawer and digging around for a good pair]

[skinofalizard]

[...hello, what's this?]

[rockyourbody]

[why would a guy have a book hidden in his underwear drawer? unless...]

Guthrie has a diary!

[retreating into the fort with the book]

[skinofalizard]

[couldn't it be porn?]

[rockyourbody]

[could be. or maybe it's a dream journal.

whatever, let's open it and see—]

...

[skinofalizard]

[looks like it was porn]

[rockyourbody]

[THE SHATTERED PIECES OF ROCK IN THIS ICON REPRESENT MY BRAIN BREAKING. if there was a brain to break.]

[skinofalizard]

[who knew icarus was into that kind of stuff, huh? and you share a room with him, too]

[rockyourbody]

[just gonna close the album and sit here quietly, because there are some things you just can't take back]
