VuTales #3

In the last week, Dest moved out of the area and back home, all the way in Antarctica. But nothing really seems different, as VuTales Housing Area still has another sarcastic, perverted, humorous… kid? I don't know, I don't write this stuff.

Aaron stared annoyingly at his computer screen. Zhlink walked in, drying his hair from his shower. He turned and stared at his roommate.

"…What are you doing?" he asked.
"…Froggy uploaded this fight of Leo and me beating the crap out of each other," Aaron replies, not turning to face Zhlink.
"But you've been staring at that since I left," he quickly checked the clock, "an hour ago."
"I can't stop watching this for some reason."
"Should I get Guji?" Guji, real name Gujju, was an assistant nurse for the building.
"Please."

Quickly dressing, Zhlink pulled on his jeans, shirt and his green jacket. He smiled at the yellow cross. Just as he left, he realized something.

"I can use a smoothie right now," he says out loud, abandoning his plans to get Guji.

Tea snored softly, lying on a couch in the rec room, which was unusually quiet. V walked in, carrying a novel he was working on. He took notice of Tea, but ignored her, sitting on a recliner. He put on his glasses before he opened the book. Minutes past, the sound of pages turning and Tea's nearly silent snoring. Leo walked in, carrying a blanket. He noticed V.

"Hey V," Leo whispered, "when did you decide to leave your library?"
"Today," he replied in a low voice, not looking up at the newcomer. "The lighting was pretty bad."
"I see." Leo placed the blanket over Tea.
"Taking care of your friend. How noble of you."
"Yeah well, what else can I do?"

At that moment Tea, still asleep, grabbed Leo's left arm and sank her fangs into it. He started to panic.

"OW! Tea! Stop it!" he shouted at the sleeping girl. She didn't awaken, still clinging onto the red haired kid. "V! Do something!"
"Can't," he replied, turning a page. "I want to know what happens at the end."
"Dude!"

Just around the corner, a figure in a black hoodie was recording everything on his video camera.

"Oh yeah, this is so going on the internet," Froggy whispered, chuckling.

Zhlink casually sipped on his smoothie, walking down the hall. He took the straw out of his mouth and began to think.

"Eh, what was I suppose to do again?" he asked aloud. He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well, wonder what's Aaron doing right now."

He reached for the knob and turned it, thus opening the door. Aaron sat in front of his computer.

"What are you doing?" Zhlink asked his roommate.
"I thought you were going to get Guji," Aaron said, weakly.
"Oh right, forgot to," he replied, scratching the back of his head. "Oh, what are you watching now?"
"Tea draining the blood out of Leo's arm with V reading a book," Aaron answered. "I can't stop watching this. Froggy has me under a spell or something."

A figure suddenly leaped into the room, still wearing his black hoodie. He knocked Zhlink down, his smoothie spilling onto the floor.

"That's right!" Froggy shouted. "My videos are so entertaining that I have you under a spell. How great is that?"
"You owe me a smoothie Froggy," Zhlink said, getting back up. He just waved his hand.
"No big deal, you can get another one of your smoothies later."
"Can someone just get Guji before my eyes start to bleed?!" Aaron shouted, getting a little pissed.
"Oh, I better get my camera for that!" Froggy then leaped out of the room.
"Uh, OK, weird. Anyways, I'll go get Guji."
"Don't get distracted this time!" Aaron was not officially pissed.

As Zhlink left the room, his cellphone vibrated. He pulled it and checked his text message.

"Oh, a disco? I'm so going there."

He left Aaron to meet his eye bleeding doom.

Leo and Tea sat in the infirmary. Tea had an embarrassed expression on her face. Leo was pale and looked like he was going to faint.

"I didn't mean to drain half of your blood," she said, trying to apologize. "It was that I was having this dream about eating a sweet potato."
"Where the heck is Guji," he barely squeezed the words out of his mouth. Said woman came in through the door.
"Sorry~" Guji said. "I had a smoothie craving which I had to settle." He placed the smoothie and her bags onto the table. "OK Tea, lose your clothes and I'll begin your check up.
"I had my check up last week Guji!" Tea shouted, her face getting flushed. "I accidentally drained Leo of almost all of his blood. That's bad right?"
"Very," Guji answered. "Leo's going to have to stay here while I refill him with blood."
"Will it hurt?" he asked weakly.
"Not a lot… Maybe like a hundred needles stabbing you but that's not as bad as it sounds."

Zhlink returned four hours later, humming to himself. He reached for the door knob to his room when a voice spoke out.

"Link… Get Guji now or I will kill you."

He suddenly remember his task.

"Oh shit," he said. "Sorry Aaron!"

He ran towards the infirmary.
