Ashley- "Hello?" Ashley opened the door, and peeked outside.

Alex wore a large bandage on his nose. It was plastered over an itty bitty little skeleton scratch."Evening, Sir. So. So. So. Me, Seth, and a million skeletons were dancing down the stairs like a bunch of Bill Robinson wannabees, and it was the best night of my life. But you just had to kick the nekomata, didn't you? Just couldn't help yourself." He let himself in."S'okay. Neko-kun will return. He got nine lives, I bet. Hey, what did you need to say earlier? I'm sorry for interrupting when the pets ran out. Plus, a dudebro is trying to pants Micah, so he needs your protection. Will you move in to our apartment for a couple nights? I'll sleep on the floor." Alex was in a fantastic mood.

Ashley- "That cat tried to steal Mr. Clemens, and the pets last time, Alex. I tried to scare him off, but Johnson shielded him so I had no choice. I had no more fire extinguisher fluid, so I tried to kick him away. It hit him too hard, though." Ashley frowns, the thought upset him a little, but not too much."Protect him? Why? He thinks nothing but the worst of me." He frowns and wonders about the implications of this lifestyle. "Who is this?"

"Ugh. His name's Frankie Jonas, former Bamph gang member. That group is robbing people on the street. Also, they have super awful taste in jokes." Alex did a few fancy dance moves, and then he settled down."Weeeell. I guess you don't have to be me and Micah's live-in bodyguard. But please keep an eye out for somebody with teeth hanging around his neck. That's Frankie, and he's no good. Heyyyy. By the way ... what happened at Pan Pac when you visited? I mean really. That's where Frankie's gonna live now. Think he'll make things worse there?" ((OOC: Okay, Jara, I'm going to bed for real this time, I swear!))

Ashley- Ashley sat down, and made his face into a little frown as he considered about all of this."Frankie. What happened while we were gone, Alex? We had a lot of trouble along the way, but managed to kill a mummy. Not this mummy, but a mummy." He seemed significantly less excited but more tired about it now, and sighs."...I'll do what I can. You have a poor choice in friends, I do not think I have had much fondness for either of the people you asked me to help, and I doubt that Johnson would be happy about me being around him. He was convinced that the cat and the skeleton invasion was not a threat." Ashley makes an annoyed face, and squints a little as he ponders this."...While I was in Pan Pac, the police regime was overturned, and they were placed on lockdown. Additionally their original leader was captured and held as well, as he had run a kind of dictatorship of the place while he ruled. It is, essentially, a colony of hedonists. I am sure your Satanic friends would have been happy there." Ashley gives the notion EXTRA squinty eyes and frowns.In the meantime, Mr. Friskers makes purruu ing noises and runs into the heavy blankets around the edge of the bed, before headbutting Alex at full tilt, and then rolling over and batting his paws in the air."Rarrr?"

Alex picked up Mr. Friskers and draped him over his neck like a purring boa. Then, he crossed his arms."Hey, don't badmouth Micah and Kyle. They're your brothers in the war against evil. PLUS, Homeboy's the Horatio to my Hamlet! Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice, and could of men distinguish her election, she hath sealed him for herself. I'm not going to give you this sacred relic from Saint James Cathedral until you apologize." He held up a wooden box.

Ashley- "Alex, your moronic friend does his best to make me angry whenever I see him. I don't have a single reason to like him. At least Kyle has been helpful against the mummy. I cannot say he has done anything evil or directly annoyed me besides the incident..." He seems to mean the El Corizon one."..Humph, I'll respect your choices, I"ll ask your forgiveness for criticizing that....Where did you get a saint relic?!" Ashley squints and takes a closer look at Alex."You're in a good mood considering the invasion."

Mr. Friskers- Mr. Friskers purrs and rolls around on his shoulders. He apparently likes being put on Alex's shoulders, and headbutts his face. His body is soft and squishy and seems more fat than muscle.Ashley- "...Mr. Friskers...you need to go on a diet, you're getting fat." It's hard to tell if he's being grumpy at their feline friend to displace his grumpiness at one of his only human friends.

"I was in a good mood." He gave the box to Ashley.
"We visited Saint James on the way to my dorm. It was overrun by ghosts and looters. Please keep these safe." Alex gently put Mr. Friskers down and skritched the kitty's head."I think you're PERFECT, little guy. Don't listen to grumpy Ashley. Goodnight, Sir! Remember that my birthday is almost here! And all I want for my birthday is for you to be nice to my bestest friend. Also, presents."

Ashley- Ashley taps Alex on the head, once."You are so dramatic, Alex. I know you want to...illuminate your role in your escapades. What do you want for your birthday? I can get you another package of protein powder if you are so inclined...Or something more personal." Ashley takes his wrist to prevent him from walking out, but it's a light hold. Alex can jerk his hand out if he's being EXTRA dramatic."If you really want me to be nice to you friend you will have to prevent him from saying anything insulting in my presence, however difficult that is for him." Ashley frowns, and takes the little box, and after a moment, smiles. "Thank you Alex, I know you were thinking of me. I am sorry I got angry at you earlier for researching magic. I admit I'm afraid of it, or any spell casting for that matter. I cannot shake the feeling that it's nature is inherently wicked, especially if nothing on the benevolent side appears to have any effect.. All the monsters we have seen have been, at best, passively malignant. I'm frightened of it. It's forbidden... I...don't like it. I hope no one here ever has to use it." Ashley crossed his arm holding the box over his chest.

Mr. Friskers- Mr. Friskers, in the meantime, rolls from side to side, and then knocks into the chair nearby and scares himself. He runs straight into the blankets around the bed, and peeks out, looking for the secret noise making-monster.

Fortunately, Alex's drama llama threat level was green, aka "low risk of drama," since he was still on cloud nine after the skeleton ball. "I hope so, too." He pondered a moment. "WELL. Can you teach me how to drive? I was supposed to learn this summer. Before the apocalypse, my parents planned to buy me a birthday car and everything!"

Ashley- "I can definitely show you, Alex. I'm at least sure I can hotwire the car and make it work for me, I just need to find a cheap one. We'll spend all tomorrow learning how to drive, and then I'll make...uh...whatever I can make that would substitute for hamburgers afterwards." Ashley smiles, and seems to feet a little better, before mussing up Alex's hair.
