Room 205, Tuesday Mid-Morning

[got_hijacked]

So, Rhys' plans to regain the room he didn't actually want  because he didn't actually want to be here... we're a success. But only because Kuzco went to class.

Whatever, it was still a success.

That would be why there was a pile of stupid looking togas and whatever else he could lift without falling over that belonged to Kuzco... were in a pile outside the door. Because pettiness was a prized trait in Hyperion employees, okay? Prized and cultivated.

And now he was able to empty his inventory pockets to safely figure out what he still had with him. Which amounted to an ECHO eye that was shoved into the very back of a drawer, his stun baton, the old flash drive that he got from Nakayama's corpse, and Dumpy. Dumpy was getting worked on to see if there were any parts he could use without shutting the poor thing down completely.

Empathy for mostly useless robots. It was his thing sometimes.

"Of course," Margaery said graciously. "Well, if it came to blows between the two of you, my bet's on you, anyway."

You were the less pathetic of the two in her estimation, Rhys, even without the robot. Feel proud.

"Just try to keep it out of the halls, if you can. I do live just over here in 204."

That's right, Kuzco. You couldn't even beat a guy with one arm!

"Right, right over there?" he asked. "This place is co-ed like that?"

He'd been living in a common room, okay? He missed out on the intricacies of the place. And sort of assumed it was gendered by floor.

"Evidently," she replied, smirking a little. "Do you anticipate that being a problem?"

She paused. "My roommate is female, as well." Which she was grateful for, but she thought she ought to warn him that it wasn't just her.

"That's definitely different from when I went to school," he muttered.

At some point he was going to end up getting smacked for walking in on a girl changing. He just knew it.

"What was your last school like?" she asked, genuinely curious. "I've never been to one before. Is this not normal?"

Margaery's expectations had been for something...certainly different.

Well, he had his bro. His brofriend. Broseidon, king of the Broceans. Taekwonbro Yeah, he really missed Vaughn right now.

"I had a friend with me." And it had been college. But, on the plus side of being here, he was probably declared dead and they'd stop expecting him to pay his student loans.

We should all be so lucky, Rhys.

"Do you feel so friendless here?" Margaery looked sad. "I've found people to be overwhelmingly welcoming. Or is it that you miss this friend in particular?"

Just crash a space station onto a planet. It's a foolproof plan to fool your creditors.

"Vaughn was with me through everything," Rhys said, thinking of so many more bro puns. "Didn't even sell me out to Vazquez when he had the chance."

HIGH PRAISE.

"He sounds very kind," Margaery said, not really meaning it. "Have you found a way to contact him? With letters, or perhaps a phone?"

New words!

It was friendship for Hyperion.

"I don't even know if he's still alive, let alone how to get back there."

Rhys,stop hugging Dumpy. The bot was distressed.
