The texts he'd gotten had been half incoherent button mashing, and half panicked please for immediate assistance. Zeke wasn't entirely sure why she was reaching out to him, but he had to admit he was curious. Besides that, Cee was sort of his friend. She'd upgraded from proxy associate to actual friend after she'd invited him to watch the Grammy's with her. It had been a fun evening. Pocketing his phone, he headed down the hall towards the intermediate's room, and knocked on her door, raising his voice so she'd hear it through the thick wood. "What's the emergency, cupcake?"

The door cracked and a dusky lined brown eye appeared. "GET IN." Was the raspy, creepy whisper. She disappeared, leaving the door open a crack and there was a whoosh of perfumed air, the room was cast in the color lilac from a scarf-draped lamp, and Cee was almost convulsing while holding her hair. She was whimpering.

The door opening didn't provide any immediate answers to the curious questions lingering at the tip of his tongue. Rather, they raised new ones, ones he held onto still as he pushed into the room and closed the door behind him. The state he found the hunter in was almost alarming. Brows rose, gaze twitching briefly throughout the room before dousing on her again. With lips pursed thoughtfully he'd hazard a wary question. "You alright there, cupcake?" She didn't look hurt, but something was wrong.

There was a keening sort of whine. "Yer my last hope no one answered.." She was wiggling like she had to pee but her hands wouldn't leave the masses of hair she had piled on her head. "No offense'r nothin.." She waved earnestly with a manicured hand and turned her back to him, lifting and pulling her hair as much as she could. "I got gum in my haaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr." Cee almost wailed. There at the base of her scalp, about an inch into her hairline was a small glob of neon green spearmint gum stuck into her tresses. Then the demon voice came. "DONT TELL ANYONE."

"None taken." She wasn't at the top of his call list either, and he was sure she knew that. No explanations were needed. Zeke obligingly moved closer as she waved him over, brows arching every higher as his curiosity mounted, and when she lifted the many layers of curling hair to show him the source of her near panic he let out a low whistle. "Damn girl. What'd you do, fall asleep with it in your mouth?" It seemed the logical leap. Unless this really was high school, and some other chick had smashed gum into Cee's hair for one reason or another. He smiled as her vice took on a threatening tone, raising a hand to cross his heart. "Not a soul." And perhaps it would have been more convincing if the smile hadn't melted into an amused smirk by the end of the gesture.

"Shut tha ******** ahp." She hissed again but her vicious expression melted to pathetic whimpering. "Jus' help me git it out. With like the ******** least amount of damage ta my head." Because she did fall asleep sleeping gum. Drooling like an idiot and then rolling around into it. "There's scissors in my desk some'ere I think.."

Zeke just laughed under his breath as she hissed at him, looking utterly shameless. It wasn't that he was unsympathetic to her plight, he was, it was just really ******** funny. He did reign in the humor though, as she mentioned scissors, and auburn brows shot up. "You want me to cut it out?" That seemed, well, kind of extreme. He'd never had long hair, but he had interacted with numerous girls on campus, and they had seemed to take things like cutting hair seriously. "Have you tried, I dunno, peanut butter first?" That was a thing, right? He was pretty sure he'd seen or heard mention of peanut butter being used to rid hair of gum.

Forethought was a very limited skill to Cee. When faced with something that truly flustered her the kneejerk reaction was just KILL IT. Relationships, gossip, even a stain could spell the death of a decent piece of clothing. Gum in the hair meant that a chunk of hair was going and she would be creative in her styling until the spot grew in. The brunette huffed impatiently. "Does that s**t even work? I ain't got no- Peanut butter?" She may not have ever had this happen before.

"So I've heard," he huffed back at her, amused. "Something about the oil dissolving it." Someone had explained it to him at some point, but he suspected it might have been around finals time, because it had not stuck in his mind as well as most things he was told did. "By that logic it seemed to reason that most oil based things would work." He looked thoughtful. "Can't hurt to try, right?" "We can always cut it as a last resort."

"Aright." Cee wouldn't argue. "But I ain't got any peanut butter just layin around." She was still holding her hair up but her eyes darted guiltily to the wall a moment. "Everythin else in here is water-based." Cee sniffled briefly to the fact she even knew that. The brunette at least had stopped convulsing like a dying fish so she plopped on the edge of the bed and flipped her hair over. "You think you can find something afore I just start hackin at my head?"

She sat, and Zeke went for one of the larger clips off her desk. "I bet olive oil would work too." Long, dark curls were caught before they had a chance to fall back over the gum, and he'd give them a twist before clipping them up high on the back of her hair. "Sit tight, do not just start hacking at your hair, and I'll be back in a couple of minutes." A large, tanned finger was pointed in her direction for emphasis as he went for the door. Five minutes later he was knocking on her door before letting himself in, a small cup in one hand and a towel in the other.

The smell of weed hit him. Apparently she'd awkwardly (with head still bent) found a way to smoke sideways and was doing so now. Her brows were up, but almost guiltily, "WHAT I'M CALMIN MY NERVES."

"Didn't say a word," he mused as she looked up at him guiltily. Like he cared if she smoked. If it helped calm her nerves it was just fine by him. A quick inventory of the items on her desc was made, but pale eyes jumped back to her after a moment. "I need a comb, one you won't mind have olive oil all over."

"Theres a bucket thing.." She motioned to the dresser. A cheap pink plastic basket was full of combs and brushes of various sizes and bristles. "Take one of the smaller combs. I ain't use them much."

Small comb in hand, Zeke took a seat beside the girl and gave her shoulder a nudge to get her to turn. "So aside from falling asleep on gum." The cup came up and he poured a very small amount of the oil on the gun in her hair. "What's new with you?"
