Angry Nerds

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

Angry Nerds

Postby Toshiro Narumi » Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:16 am

After storming out of the foyer, Tosh found his way to the cafeteria. He was getting hungry before the incident with Cam and stress only served to increase his appetite. He was still visibly angry as he went up to the empty food line, hoping lunch was still being served.

Why can't Cam just treat me with a little basic respect? Asshole.

Lunch was still available, though being served seemed like a loose term at this point.

"Hey kiddo." Emilie replied, forgetting that for all Tosh knew, they were the same age.

"We got Pork Pies and Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie left. I'mma assume you want the pork?"

Luckily for all involved, he was too mentally preoccupied to actually notice what she had called him. He looked at Emilie and chose to nod rather than risk sounding as angry as he was, not that he could hide it.

Emilie just started piling the tiny six inch pies on a plate, looking at Tosh over the glass partition.

"Hey.... you okay buddy? Haley harsh your buzz or something?"

"Why not both?" She joked back.

Once she had cleaned the bin onto the plate, she handed it to Tosh to place on his plate.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"He just..." he began, pausing to consider why exactly he was upset, "... asks these insulting questions every time I try to talk to him and I'm sick of it. Today he did it in front of both Haley and my visiting cousin and I just... lost it."

Emilie removed her apron, and grabbed the bin still full of Shepherd's Pie, calling out over her shoulder.

"Hey! I'mma go finish this and I'll be back! It's time for my thirty!" She stated to one of her coworkers, grabbing a fork.

"C'Mon." She commented to Tosh, finding one of the table's that wasn't totally trashed.

"So what kinda questions we talkin' 'bout?

Like, personal stuff?"

Emilie was quiet, thinking on what little she knew of the kid and what Tosh had said about his behavior today in between bits of her lunch straight from the chafing dish.

She throws out casually after a long pause.

"Maybe he's so high and mighty because deep down, he knows all he's got about him that's worth a shit is his mutation."

"Guys like him only pretend to as far as it validates their ego," he said with a small spike of fresh anger. Kind of a stretch there, kid.

"Alright... I get the school has a history of erring on the side of caution when throwing out students into the cold because of their concern for them going all city-splodey... but like, do you have any evidence to back that up?

Did he go to the institute and you saw more behavior like this there?"

His outrage deflated and he dropped his arms.

"Duh bitch. I usually am." She replied, smirking.

"That doesn't mean I wanna say his actions are like... good behavior? I don't know the kid, you just seemed defensive about my questions.

He's still responsible for his own behavior... but there's a certain thing to be said about only allowing things to bother you as much as you want them to, ya know?"

"Well, ambition isn't the same as intelligence and anyways, intelligence comes in lots of forms....

Sadly, not sure calling you stupid or flighty in a vague fashion is equal to saying someone deserves to be incarcerated. Like, that is standard level asshole, not up to the par of the scorched earth tactics ya pulled out."

"If you're doling out apologies, hit the roommate first.

If you go to her first she might ask if you've worked it out with him yet, whether she is mad or not. And if the answer is no, it might cause her to get mad."
