Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

The drawback to having both his workshops early on in the week, Toby was finding, was that without something to do, the rest of the week got kind of boring. Funny how even with no classes at all, boredom had never been a problem when he'd been on the streets. Still, he'd take boredom over being cold and hungry any day.

So he'd wandered over to the common room, snagged someone's sandwich they'd left in the fridge and a half-full bag of chips he'd found tucked in the back of one of the cupboards, and flipped through the channels until he stumbled across one playing a rather distinctive theme along with an opening text-crawl.

Something seemed wrong, though- he'd seen these movies tons of times, and none of this was familiar- he frowned and checked the channel listing. "Space Battles: Part 1?" he frowned. "What the hell?"
