shaft | school: caiman

She's normally three times as big. She had to be shrunk down to be allowed on campus.

But yeah, I normally ride her to war... Did I never mention that I'm a general in the army?

Oh!! Weird... how come you couldn't bring her in to start with like Lalli and Caleb did with their cats?

[ Petpet... ]

And nah, never heard that bit.

[ And a beat pause... ]

Hey, you still mad?

About the feud between our dorms? No, I know you weren't trying to sell me out.

[ ... ]

It's spiralled into quite a campaign against me though.

[ Looks away from the Claude Chaos. It only took one extra credit for Claude to turn into the school's buttmonkey...

Caiman just looks a little grumbly though. Yeah, that ended up getting a lot messier than he wanted it to be. He's only annoyed because he got stuck in a really weird spot between it all, he wouldn't have cared otherwise... maybe. ]

...Yeah. The hell was with that poster on Winter? You didn't do that?

No, I haven't even been back to the dorms since I left this morning.

Apparently I've become an easy scapegoat for them.

There's I think your underwear hanging from a flagpole outside Spring...

[ Just gives him a look like. Bro, your own dorm... ]

[ He closes his eyes. ]

Yeah.

You gonna...

Get those back?

You don't like seeing them?

Why's this about me?! That's your underwear up on a pole?!

I've been the focal point enough, don't you think? It's time to consider the feelings of others.

Wait, is that how it works?

Yes!

[ He has no idea what Caiman is talking about. ]

[ Looks very nonplussed. ]

Okay, well! It's your shit out there so if you don't mind then it's none of my business.

[ Should he be trying to peel this wyvern off of him and return her? ]

[ He can leave her where she is. She does what she wants. ]

And you? Are you still mad at me?

[ She can do whatever she wants forever. ]

...Nah.

I was never mad at you to begin with anyway.

You weren't? [ That's a surprise. ] Did you just feel betrayed?

Yes!

[ Barked, as Caiman does. ] 'Cause you used the friend card and then everyone else said it was just because I was gullible!

I'm not gullible! [ JUST GETTING THAT IN TOO, BY THE WAY. ]

[ Caiman is so cute. ]

I don't think you're gullible. I really did mean to return it as soon as I received my extra credit. I don't even know where I'd fit an extra couch in Spring.

[ He's a disaster... ]

I dunno. Could have a common room of nothing but couches.

...

What ended up happening to it...

[ Lucretia implied the geese got to it......... ]

It ended up replacing the couch your dorm stole from us.

Okay that's fair.

[ Proceed.

But, uhhh... ]

I, uh.

...

Kinda, it's...

Sorry.

[ ...

It's touch week, so Claude gives Caiman a friendly pat on the head. ]

It's all right. Nothing but school shenanigans. Did you at least have fun?

[ He's learned to give up and just accept these pats he keeps getting. Whatever it's not like it's nice pats or anything.......................tsun ]

What, stealing your couch?! No! I carried the couch back as comeuppance for losing the couch in the first place! And everything else was real weird too 'cause I didn't want anything to do with the couch-related stuff anymore.

[ Aka the printing of the Claude 12x12 in their window and above Caiman's bed, ]

It seems like it really blew up beyond the two of us.

[ sighs ]

Well, I'm sure it'll blow over eventually. Don't be too disheartened.
