Brittany (Sylph) and Gedeon Salazar's Dorm Room

[Gedeon Salazar]

"I suppose that will do." She puts things away, leaving out shorts and a tank top. "Ratchet? Isn't that some kind of tool?"

[Ballista]

[OoC: Oops. Spelled it wrong.  It's Rachet not Ratchet.]

"Not Ratchet like in a Ratchet wrench," Trevor laughs.  "Rachet.  Like trashy.  Non-classy.  Some use it to describe someone who is ghetto but I don't like to use it in that way."

Noticing Gedeon has taken out her clothes, he smiles and says, "Well, I will step out so you can change.  Do you want me to hang around and walk with you down to the pool?"

[Gedeon Salazar]

"Ohhh. Ok. Neat. New word. Watch me use it wrong." She smiles as she closes the door. "That sounds good. I haven't been to the indoor pool yet." She quickly gets dressed.

Trevor runs to his room and quickly strips and gets changed. He then runs back and leans against the wall beside Gedeon's dorm room.

[Gedeon Salazar]

Stepping out of her door, she gives Trevor a funny look, because now he's changed. The green tank top she put on does nothing to hide the clear strangulation marks on her neck, from the train incident. "Alright. Shall we?"

[Ballista]

"Da Fuq?," Trevor exclaims. "What happened to your neck?"

He continues to converse with Gedeon while on their way down to the pool.

[Gedeon Salazar]

"What?" She looks confused for a moment, her hand going to her neck. As soon as she touches the bruise, she loses the confused look. "Oh yeah. At the train, some guy's head melded with the side of the train,. I cut him out, but as soon as he was free, he just screamed and tried to strangle me. Ashlee literally saved my neck by turning me invisible just as I broke free for a second." She acts like it's no big deal and heads down to the pool.

[Ballista]

"Wow, craaazy," Trevor replies after Gedeon explains what happened.  "I hope you smacked him one, for strangling you.  It might have snapped him out of whatever had possessed him to attack you like that.  I'm not sure what I would have done.  Lately I've had these aggressive feelings that make it hard to remain calm.  Most likely a side effect of the sickness."  

He bites his lip to keep from saying anything more.  Losing control when he was so use to hiding his true self wasn't natural for him.  Trevor couldn't even be sure if him being more comfortable with his sexuality was just him becoming comfortable with friends or if his attitude was altered by the infection.  But that wasn't even the worst of it.  Something else happened the night of the fight that had him really frightened.  He wanted to talk to someone about it but he didn't know who he should confide in.  Gedeon had only been here for a short time but they seemed to be getting to know each other a little bit.  Trevor was sure that most of the others were alright with 'everything' but Gedeon just seemed the most comfortable around him.

They soon arrive at the pool...
