Victor crawled his way though the village, it was dark, about the only time the Lizardman could move around freely without having awkward run ins with strangers and be able to eat in peace, he was currently now heading back from the cafeteria, heading towards his duplex

Tommy was having a tough time dragging Richard's bag of dirty clothes down the road toward the laundromat. Not having hands and having to use his teeth to drag the heavy bag made the matter even worse. He made his way backwards, pulling himself along the ground using his powerful wings. In fact, he was so consumed by the task at hand that he didn't even notice Victor as the bat-man damn near ran into the multi-limbed lizard.

Victor stopped with a surprised "Accck!" as he almost walked right into Tommy's body. Damn this large snout of his! "Tommy! Sssssorrrrry thherrre"
The lizardman apologized as he backed up a moment, turning his head to the side so he could see the Bat man better. What was he dragging there?
"Whhatsss ggoingg on?"

With every pull, he gave out a small squeak of effort...getting a confused image back into mind due to the large bag in front of his face. He gave a slight shake of his head...tearing the bag slightly with his razor-like teeth. He hated this. Hated Richard for this. Two...well...one rabbit for all this work? What a rip off...he sighed through his teeth...not even noticing Victor behind him.
"Ack!" he shouted out with a larger squeak followed by a stream of chittereing when Victor startled him. "Victor! Crap man, you scared the s**t out of me," he said after spitting out the bag. "What? Oh...just doin' some laundry as a favor for Richard..."

Victor nodded as he listened to Tommy "Laundrry forr Rriccchharrd?" the lizardman tilted his head a bit, eyeing the bag of laundry that Tommy had with him. "Musssst hhave been ssssome favor... need ssssome hhelp ggettingg it to thhe Laundrry Rroom?"

Tommy let his long, thin tongue out and licked his nose, trying to get the taste of the bag off of his taste buds. He shook his head one more time, his large ears flopping from side to side. "Wha? Oh...yeah, it was a poker game. Winnings ended up him catching me two live rabbits and me doing one batch of laundry for him," he said with a shrug. "But um...yeah, sure, if you don't mind. I've gotta pull this heavy-a** thing with my teeth...could use someone to open the door or something."

"Alrrigghht...maybe you ccan gget thhe doorr open and I'll trry drrragggingg it into thhe rrroom thherre" Victor said, surprised that tommy had been able to get the bag of clothing that far by just his teeth. the lizardman crawled over to the bag, grabbing onto it with his hands, and tugging it towards the Laundry room

Tommy blinked in surprise as Victor took the bag for him. "Hey!...um...thanks!" He said happily, glad to not have that nasty taste in his mouth anymore. In all honesty, he also felt a bit guilty for not thinking Victor could manage the bag himself. Tommy gave a large grin as he allowed him to take it. He, himself, backed into the door to open it for the lizard-man. "So...how've you been?"

Victor gave a small grunt of effort as he pulled the bag along, dragging it with short jerks and pulls, finally getting it inside the doorway, dragging it backwards in front of one of the washers.
"Not assss ggood lately Tommy, had alot on my mind" Victor said very honestly, letting the bag go and settling down, looking tommy over a moment again. "Hhow you been?"

Tommy frowned as he heard Victor, silently closing the door behind the both of them...making sure not to slam it on the lizard-man's tail. "Oh...?" he asked curiously before following him in. Slowly he began trying to untie the bag, doing his best with only his thumb-claws.
"Well...I ah...I've been aching from trying to fly I suppose...other than that though, I suppose I'm alright given the circumstances."
"But...seriously though...what's going on?"

Victor set his tail beside himself, looking towards the floor a bit before looking back at Tommy with that sidelong glance, his dark blue eyes focused on the batman with a serious look. What could he tell Tommy? what should he tell him?
"itsssss jusssst..." Victor's upper jaw twitched and his tongue flicked out.
"You everr thhinkk about....ggettingg away frrom herre?"

Tommy quirked a brow at that as he began loading the clothing into the washing machine. What kind of question was that? What the hell did Victor think he was going to say? Tommy gave a long, drawn out sigh as he finished loading in the batch of clothing. "Heh...just about every minute..." he said softly.

"Yeahh but.." Victor stopped, this was rather difficult for victor to talk about without talking about the other things he had been thinking about.... like what might happen after the 'Ivory Tower' falls.
"Letsss ggo...outssside a minute, to talkk" Victor said as he already crawled his way to the door, reaching up to claw at the knob before getting it open and moving back outside, hoping Tommy would follow, and that none of the microphones be able to pick up on their conversation.
"We arrren't ggoingg to be able to gget off the issssland Tommy....Thhey ggot everrythingg too well planned...but I ggot anothherr Idea"

Tommy frowned once again as Victor spoke. Just what was the lizard-man up to? He just nodded a few times before absently pushing a few buttons to start the cycle before looking back to Victor. "...alright, man...sure..." he said softly before following Victor out, "Just...what's all this about...?" His curiosity was piqued, but so was his fear. He hoped Victor wasn't planning anything too rash...like he did...how many months ago? Christ...
Victor's words struck Tommy like a punch to the jaw...was it possible? No...nonono...there must be a way off...there must be... "...What're you talking about, Victor?"
