So that's her name. I feel bad, i've just been calling her 'Miss Goo Girl' all this time." Archer sighed, rubbing the back of his neck in embarassment. It worried him how easily the fact that he never asked for peoples' names until after the fact. The whole 'shoot first, ask questions later' mentality certainly didn't do him any good, even in standard interaction. Everyone else seemed to acclimate to it so easily, he wondered just what the rest of his academy would say if they saw all this. "You think you're the center of the universe, and then reality just goes 'NOPE' on you. I have to admit... it's cool, seeing all these extraspecies people all in one place. No wonder the Island has been hailed so highly... But no one ever talks about the interactions on the Island. It's like some sort-of unspoken rule." He shrugged, before Vallan mentioned a girl with tentacles. "An octopus girl, maybe? ... Hm, that's kinda kinky. Well, an orgasm's generally brought about by movement, so get thrusted enough by one of those things and- Wait, were you being serious? I don't want to feel like i'm killing a joke here or something." He quipped, giving Vallan a quick glance. To be fair, he'd been contemplating how it felt too, but for entirely different reasons, and probably locations.<br/><br/>Thankfully she didn't seem displeased with his joke... Even chuckled at it! Relaxing a little, he rolled his head around a bit before nodding. "Well, when you consider all the lights, special effects, and make-up, it doesn't sound that hard, right? I dunno, I could see it easily... 'sides, don't knock the way you live. You're more lively than some of the guys back at my academy, for an undead girl." he continued. Guys and girls so tired of their classes they just seemed unresponsive to anyone else... The idea that an undead girl showed more life than them was probably funnier than it needed to be. He'd need to snap a picture of the two of them one of these days. The flash of her teeth was just a tad unsettling, but as he noticed they still looked quite clean! Even in other worlds, he was glad cleanliness was a factor, no matter what walk of life they came from.<br/><br/>"Well, reasonably enough anyway. There are plenty still better than I am in the skies. Matter of fact, I have one friend around here, she's really damn good with planes... She must've come back in already but I can't see her from here. When I find Reggie i'll introduce you to her." he grinned, feeling some more pride in the students of his own academy. Vallan sounded interested, and far be it from him to downplay any of them when there was interest to be had. "Hell, I'll even give you a ride in mine one of these days if you're curious. Might be nice to do some safer flying for a change after your entrance, huh?" He nudged her gently with his elbow, grinning. her mention of how she entered her portal made his brow quirk. "A woman after my own heart, a risktaker! Though that's one hell of a risk on your part... Normally one of the guys at my academy would have to be drunk before they considered doing anything that gutsy." He sighed lightly. Stupidity often followed after a few drinks, unless you processed it better like Regina did. But folks like him, Gates, and more... Alcohol tended to hit them harder without prolonged exposure. Which made him wonder if Regina just... Had her blood replaced with beer and adrenaline. it would have made so much more sense if it were true...<br/><br/>The connonations of touching hadn't quite occurred to him, as he'd been more curious about a shoulder grab or a handshake... Though he did have morbid curiosity about her chest, but that was for after he got to know her better. "Sturdiness is far from a problem to me. I actually find that quality attractive, but i've been told my tastes probably aren't normal anyway." He shrugged, watching as she stretched her arm out, letting the joints pop and creak. "Geez... Think you might need a massage or something, god knows how many kinks you've got to pop after your arrival." he shuddered, trying to imagine what would happen to him if he underwent the same thing. He was foreseeing many broken bones, just to start... Her sturdiness must have been profound to resist alot of that damage. Her follow-up question left him more relieved/ "So you really are different... Makes me feel much better. I might be a tad meaty in some parts but I can't imagine i'd taste that good." he grimaced. he set his back down for a moment, resting a hand on his now-free shoulder to roll it a bit. With everything he'd packed into the bad, letting it down once in a while felt much better.<br/><br/>"So I gotta die after a bite to become one... I gotta be honest, I had my reservations. I guess if you played a few games where i'm from, you'd know why some of us might get skeptical. Maybe you already know a bit." He admitted, looking down a bit. "Knowing this, I've got some intel to share back at home with the others incase you ever meet any of them, or they meet anyone like you." He continued, folding his arms. Better to avoid misunderstandings, right?<br/><br/>When she spoke, it suddenly dawned on him... She was getting a little embarrassed! he leaned close to give her a better look, before shrugging. "... So? I mean, you're just as cute with makeup on, but even without, your all-natural appearance is pretty good. When people think of zombies, they think of heavily-rotted flesh, meat and bone showing everywhere, completely white or otherwise some straight-up dead-looking eyes, disgusting teeth and all that... Then I see you and I think 'if there were more like you, the stories about zombies in our worlds would be<em>very</em>different.'... So yeah, you look better than good." he nodded with a wink. he was sure he'd heard whispers from behind, and at least one comment that sounded suspiciously like 'is that technically necrophilia?', though he paid them no real mind. "Wait, seriously? No compliments?" he asked, looking straight at her, though she seemed to be looking away now, probably out of embarassment. Hanging his head with a sigh, he nodded. "Well, you've got one week here to enjoy all the comments you never could before... So enjoy 'em, Vallen." He finished... Before the area around them suddenly went pitch-black, with the only light now being whatever shone in from the outside.<br/><br/>"Power outage?" He asked, missing the audible, drawn out cry of 'Sorry!' amidst the others talking. "I packed nightvision, but I can't even begin to remember where in my bag... Though this<em>is</em>also pretty romantic... And quite an abuseable situation." he trailed off with a chuckle. "Ah, don't worry, i'll keep my hands to myself for now." he added after a moment, though the 'for now' certainly implied things... For now, he knelt down and began to rummage through his back to pull out the goggles incase the power remained off for a bit. Though likely emergency power would start up soon...
