The second-floor common room...

River, with a stack of DVDs in her hand, slips into the common room. Might as well get some familiarity with these 80s movies before she shows them the night after tomorrow, right? She glances at the titles in her hand, then selects one, pops it into the player, and settles into a chair with the remote.

Real Genius, hmmm?

She hits play, and the strains of Carmen McRae singing fill the room.

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me! ...

*distractedly* Hmmm? Oh, yeah. *extends hand and grins* D'anna Biers, from Leonis.

"Jeez... What is it with you colonial people anyway? You guys are everywhere!"

"Well, y'know, we do have twelve Colonies. Thirteen, techically. Earth is supposed to be the thirteenth."

*grins and crams another handful of popcorn*

"So, what, there are billions more of you Colonials out there? No wonder there's so many of you here at Fandom High."

"Yeah... I guess the odds are against us on that one."

*scratches head* "You know, I never paid attention to those figures much in school, but yeah, I guess so. Twelve worlds is a lot of people."

"I know how that feels. The populations of Londinium, Sihnon, and Osiris back where I'm from combined to nearly twenty billion, just by themselves.

"Three planets. Wow. How many planets are there where you're from?"

[identity profile] river-dancing.livejournal.com 2005-09-26 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Six central planets, another four out towards the Rim, and twenty-seven moons. Not all of those orbit occupied planets, though -- some are around gas giants. And that's not counting all the stations and waypoints and comm arrays."

We're everywhere these days.

"Hey. Sa -- uh, Anders, Caprica."

*Raises an eyebrow and smiles. Wonder if he forgets his name often?*

Apparently this is suppose to help get us ready for the homecoming thingy.

"That's the night after tomorrow, actually... but I thought it couldn't hurt to spend the evening watching a few of these movies early."

It was an excellent idea. I haven't seen a film since I got here.

"Well, maybe we could make it a regular thing. Is there anything you've heard of while you were here that you might want to see?"
