[thread] humor has a friend Characters: Guido Carosella + Jamie Madrox Location: Library Timeline: After class of 2012 December 21 Description: Jamie and Guido meet, basically. Rating: tbd./tbd.
Contrary to popular first impressions, Guido Carosella was not very fond of Moose. He understood that both he and the Archie character had a number of similarities that made them easily comparable to each other but that was all they were in the end: similarities. Who he really liked, though, was Jughead. He was funny, he was chill, and he had his own spin-offs.
He was reading one of them at that moment: hunched over uncomfortably in the too-small chair of the school, occupying the entire half of the table as he squinted at the pages that he held. Archie's Pal Jughead read the cover, and it was the first issue.
As he pored through the pages, shifting from time to time, Guido snorted and chuckled, a grin spreading easily on his face. He could hear quiet sounds of the door opening and closing, and other students in the area talking about how their powers made it difficult for them to have a love life but he ignored them all.
Carefully, he eased the page to fold over to the other side but a sudden cramping on his back had jerked his shoulders back and he cussed in shock, wincing and hissing as he let the pain past. The discomfort had made him lose his book. And when he found it on the floor, Guido sighed, grabbed the table's edge as gently as he could and bent to reach for the comic.
