"N-n-n-not! Not! No-not age n-necessarily but.. but.. but DECENCY!" Jerry looked ready to pluck the book up and burn it. For now he merely wobbled in place and looked utterly horrified that such a thing could sneak onto their precious island, as though the most horrible, toothed and many-legged creature of Halloween had hauled itself up out of one of their toilets.
"HE'S got some sense to him!" He pointed to the original book-thrower, who's name escaped him at that moment but he MUST have been a decent sort.

He caught the book automatically - a knee jerk reaction - his fingers wrapping around the cover before he realized that it was yet another one of Those Books.
Needless to say he very nearly embarrassed himself dropping it, fumbling with the damn thing for a second before he looked up at Robert. He couldn't say he wasn't surprised by the gesture; after all, he'd barely said more than three words to him before, but the comments he'd just made made some of the tension in Gale's shoulders relax, in spite of the situation. He bit his lip.
Then he turned the cover over and very nearly chucked it at Wilson again.
"Bloody hell what in the world - "
The sound of Marcus' voice dragged him away from eying the picture of a busty woman locked in a passionate embrace with a swarthy looking man, and Gale looked up, his face burning.
And then proceeded to stifle a choking sort of gasping laugh at what he had just read.
But then Marcus gave him That Look and he scowled.
And scowled some more.
"That's not the point," he hissed, now horribly embarrassed and hoping no one else had just heard that.

"JERRY." Robert completely ignored Marcus', because something else was seriously starting to irk him. He rose up, letting the book he'd picked up fall to the floor, and stormed over at Jerry, standing to his full height. There was something legitimately unnerving about Robert when he got angry, and all of his anger was now focused on his friend for some unknown reason.
"CUT THAT s**t OUT ALREADY. I don't need nobody lecturing any of us on decency. And if you're embarrassed by s**t like this? LEAVE."
His last word hadn't necessarily been loud, but it had the tone of threat in it. Something about this was seriously bothering Robert, and Jerry's needling voice was triggering him in all the worst ways.
He turned around and went back to sitting in front of the box, fiddling through it.
"I don't think there's any girl on girl here, Marcus." He answered flatly, a little disappointed.

"I don't think this is exactly the sort of material that one could call educational. At least not for - uh - more realistic activities." Jordan was remaining firmly in tomatoland, but that particular statement demanded some kind of logical response.
"Decency?" He lifted an eyebrow at Jerry.
And then an idea struck him. He went quiet for a moment, then said, "Y'know. I think there's a way more appropriate place for that box to be left."

"W-well!" Jerry managed to not collapse in terror at two hundred plus pounds of angry Robert thundering towards him, glancing around frantically, "I'm not the only one here a little unnerved by this judging by the amount of red faces!" As Robert retreated, he drew in a sharp breath, setting his jaw before picking up a spackle-knife to arm himself before stalking back over towards him, "M-maybe YOU want to sit and... and read...." His eyes darted over the covers and immediately wished he hadn't, "Your gay smut, but the rest of us have some clean up to do! Take it to your bedroom, Robert."

Dakota debated on attempting to break the two up, but he remember just how hard Robert hit when he was angry after all and opted for sitting out. Plus, while they we're yelling, he was thoroughly enjoying pointing out little sentences and some images to Ryan and Wilson.
And then Jerry said it and had Dakota looking up with wide eyes. And then a snort...turned into a giggle turned into a laugh.
He blinked as he looked at Jordan. "You got somewhere else these need to go? Besides obviously our rooms...Or that ones?" He nodded his head to Robert and then Jerry.

Harrison shuffled the bin, catching the paperbook one-handed. The cover looked innocent enough, free of rippling biceps and swooning, long-haired girls having a hard time keeping their shirts on. It boasted an open safe, with jewels and pearls spilling out into a heart-shaped pattern.
He looked up at Dakota skeptically. Still, he was a good fairy, and it was bad luck to refuse a fairy's blessing some distant, nagging princessy part of him insisted.
Good part's about 3/4th of the way through, B0nez said, mysteriously.
How would you know, Harrison said, but when he opened the book the pages seemed to fall naturally and suspiciously open to thereabouts
"His tongue flicked against the seam of my lips and I parted, eager for more of this blissfully sensual, erotic experience- what is this s**t?" Harrison seemed unaware of any boiling tension in the room. "Where?" he asked Jordan, "I don't think the library'll want it."
He guessed Robert could have it, if he wanted. He wasn't volunteering.

Admittedly, Marcus was a hilarious reader. Wilson even managed to crack a smile at the younger man’s remarks. In fact, was there even a faint glimmer in his eyes when he mentioned girl on girl? Then he nearly laughed and swatted the thought away. Clearly the person who owned these books was a woman, and what kind of woman had girl on girl romance novels? At the mention of a ‘her’ he flicked his gaze over to Gale. Gale had someone he was interested in?
Jerry pointed at him and again he appeared to be a dear caught in headlights. He turned stiff as he continued to hold onto Ryan. “M-Me?” he responded, but his brief reply appeared to be drowned out as Robert and Jerry’s conversation grew heated. Wilson awkwardly shuffled closer to Ryan and Dakota, flinching when Gale nearly threw another book at him. What did he do to deserve this?!
He mustered a smile when Jordan attempted to defuse the situation. “Oh! Really? Where would that place be?”

Robert thought the conversation had ended. He thought Jerry had the common sense, and decency, to understand that he wasn't in the mood to take Jerry's uppity bullshit. But apparently Jerry was more of an idiot than he looked - and that was a lot. Robert's eyes lifted to stare up at Jerry wildly, and he pushed himself back up, a myriad of expressions twisting across his face. He was angry, sure, but the fact that Jerry had just - just insinuated -
"You know what, Jerry." Robert hissed, grabbing the man's shirt collar and lifting him up off his feet. "Let's take this outside."

Ryan made a quick back step in order to avoid walking into Harrison, though the result had him backing right into Dakota instead.
"I'll pas--" He started to say, making a move to exit the room again, only to make a strangled sound when the other moon trainee dragged him back. It didn't help matters when Wilson started tugging at his arm.
"Wilson... sometimes I really wonder if the you're an adult..." He shook his head, doing his best not to snap, as Dakota covered his ears and proceeded to point out things he'd rather not hear or see.
"How the hell did you guys even manage to get this onto the island without it getting confiscated?" He asked, assuming that the book---all of the books belonged to someone in this room.

"You sure you want don't want to take him somewhere else?" Harrison snickered.

Jerry at least had the sense to look utterly panicked, his face going white as he was nearly lifted off his feet. "R-robert! I'm n-n-n-not going anywhere! W-woo-woo-woo-we've g-got work to do! Here! Ah! Robert wait!"

"Somewhere on the third floor." Jordan looked over to Marcus and grinned; while they'd agreed never to speak of it again, he was pretty sure that Marcus would get what he was suggesting.
... Jerry had said something stupid, and Robert had taken offense. What else was new? However, the inherent implications in the snarled conversation made Jordan bristle somewhat himself. He turned to push his two friends apart and step between them, looking first to Jerry, then Robert, dead serious. "Do either of you have an actual problem with what's in that book?" he asked.

Gale buried his nose in the book Robert had given him and studiously ignored the sudden tension in the air between Jerry and Robert.

He looked like he had taken offense at Ryan’s offense, but Wilson had received the observation on more than one occasion. The revelation wasn’t much of a revelation for him. Instead, he began to smile and laughed at Ryan. “That’s why we’re friends, right?” However, once Ryan brought up the questionable origin of the books Wilson straightened up and finally released his hold on the boy. “None of snuck this onto the island, it was here already,” he answered. He paused before adding, “I was doing construction duty here, found the books, and…” His voice trailed off as he quietly gestured toward the rest of the ruckus going on in the room. “Yeah.”
Wilson then noticed Gale reading one of the books.
…what.
