Tosh sat on the common room couch, distractedly playing a first-person shooter as he thought about recent events. In fact he barely even noticed the zombie horde devouring his corpse.

"Dude, the position of 'geek who sucks at FPS games' has been filled, and I don't appreciate you trying to steal my shtick," Trev teased with a smirk as he stood behind Tosh and watched him play, his backpack slung lazily over one shoulder.

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2018 2:17 pm**

"...what?" he asked as if waking up, like he sometimes did when deep in thought. "Oh! I died. Crap."

"Hey Trev."

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:11 am**

“You’ve got that glassy faraway look in your eye you get when Science!” he punctuated the subject at which his friend excelled with an exclamation, “is taking over your brain.”

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:25 am**

"You're behind me," he pointed out, but his heart wasn't in the act of pedantry.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:30 am**

“....I was behind your mom last night?” Trev stretched for a comeback.

“But seriously dude. What’s up. You don’t normally let the zombies eat your brains that fast.”

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:39 am**

He sighed. "Haley broke up with me. For my safety apparently."

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:42 am**

“Ah shit man, that sucks,” he frowned.

“...though I mean...she did sort of melt your brain didn’t she?”

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:58 am**

"She only... scalded it, I guess?" he answered. "But that was still too close for her."

"To top it off I ran into Steph like almost right after, and now I really don't know how to feel."

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 2:05 am**

“Topless in your room with fresh-baked-cookies Steph?” he asked quietly with a cheerful smirk on his face as he Rikered over the back of the couch to sit next to his friend.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 2:27 pm**

"AKA has a huge crush on me of all people Steph," he responded. "Haley basically told me to go for it which, for the record, seems like a really weird thing to do when dumping someone."

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 8:11 pm**

"If you want my advice," the couch said, "you should go for it."

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:16 pm**

“Sweet fucking Jesus, what the fuck was that?!” Trev shouted (at human volume) as he practically jumped out of his skin.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2018 11:52 pm**

"Gah!" Tosh exclaimed as he jumped an actual inch or so the couch. He looked around for whoever sneaked up on them before slowly looking down. "Will? Were you under... were you the couch this whole time?!"

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:25 am**

"Yeah, pretty much.

You've been playing that game for a bit. You're not any good at it."

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 4:26 pm**

"I was a little distracted by getting dumped," he said defensively.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 4:33 pm**

“Oh hey, Will,” Trev sighed in relief, his pounding heart no longer threatening to crack a rib.

“Our talking couchclassmate has a point, by the way.”

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 4:36 pm**

"Yeah...that bites, man. I feel ya.

People are weird, sometimes. You shouldn't let it get you down."

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 7:08 pm**

"How can I not? I told her I needed her. Though I don't know anymore if that was true or just something I said to try and change her mind."

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 8:31 pm**

"Do you need her? I mean, yeah, you're depressed and dragging a bit, but life goes on. The sun comes up in the morning.

Believe me, there are times when you do need something or someone, but...sometimes, you just have to get up, dust yourself off, and realize you're doing OK."

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:22 pm**

“Man, I’m sure she was great and I can’t fault a guy for finding hot blondes attractive, but Will’s right. And really, how long were you guys even dating?”

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 11:52 pm**

"Four months. And yes, I know that isn't long. It's just... well, a part of her will always be with me."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 12:16 am**

"Which part? SHe didn't leave you a lock of her hair, did she?"

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 1:19 am**

"I mean... well... Bruce and I have a new southwestern flavored brainmate."

"He's... a ferret."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 1:32 am**

"That's...I mean, most people just send a card.

What does the ferret think about all this?"

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 1:34 am**

“...she put a ferret in your brain?”

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 2:01 am**

"Technically, I think, she inadvertently inspired my brain to prematurely cook up another form in her honor. It filled in the rest with... Westerns. So, a cowboy ferret."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 2:28 pm**

“....shifter brains are fuckin’ weird.” Trev added helpfully.

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 4:24 pm**

"NORMAL brains are fuckin' weird. Shifter brains make sense."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 6:59 pm**

"Nope. Sorry. Gotta side with the guy with only one personality and who doesn't identify as an object."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 7:07 pm**

"Your loss, I suppose."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 9:53 pm**

“Well. Cowboy brain ferret or not, I think you’d be crazy to let a girl like Stephanie get away from you, man. Especially since she’s probably got some common shifter brain shit to work through just like you.”

Trev kept eyeing the Willcouch, “So...is it weird if I sit on you, man? I’m tied and want to sit down but I don’t want it to be like weird and shit.”

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 9:57 pm**

"...OK, walk back through that one again.

Do you think I would shift into a couch. In the common room. Just to trap people who would sit down on the couch?"

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 9:58 pm**

“....maybe?” Trev joked. “Maybe your secondary mutation is devouring humans like a mimic in D&D and this is your clever ploy to eat me.”

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 10:00 pm**

"I've only done that once or twice, so you're statistically probably safe," Will deadpanned.

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 10:01 pm**

“Ha! Jokes on you, I only pretend to understand statistics!” Trev replied, taking a seat.

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 10:51 pm**

"Honestly. I've never understood people.

This may be why I'm not sure I'm giving you the best advice, Tosh," he added after a moment. "But I think you should just go for it. You regret things you don't do more than you regret things you did."

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2018 11:48 pm**

"But we broke up yesterday. Isn't it kind of a dick move to go out with someone else already?"

Posted: **Sat Jul 21, 2018 12:24 am**

"Well, here's the thing.

She TOLD you to, right? So...

Possibility 1: She wants you to, and it would be a dick move to NOT go for it.
Possibility 2: She doesn't want you to, and wants you to do some dramatic thing to win her back, and that would be a dick move in and of itself.
Possibility 3: She doesn't want you to, but feels she can't be with you for whatever reason, in which case you're a free man to do what you want."

Posted: **Sat Jul 21, 2018 12:54 am**

“Will, I think there’s an untapped market for therapy couches that are actually the therapists,” Trev nodded.

“I mean. I vaguely know this girl from you and from the teams and stuff. And I think I’m in chemistry with her. And she seems nice and all but, Stephanie? Dude, if I hadn’t met an amazing, literally out of this world girl, I’d be crushing hard.”

Xaviers!
