Second Floor Common Room - RT's Wake

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory made her way up from the memorial and found a Jacques Cousteau documentary on the television.

She solemnly began to watch, attempting to feel actual sorrow over a fish.

It didn't quite take.

[Totally open to all, omg]

"Looking For?" Xander asked. "Or the other one?"

[soldtoarmenians]

And the tv screen flickered, then jumped to a truly horrendous remake of 19,000 Fathoms Deep.

Jaye blinks. "Um. It's doing that thing again..."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Ha. Success. "I was thinking of the animated one. The only Nemo one I know--" Parker slowly starts to grin, because if she's right, the reaction should be interesting, "-- is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Which sucked, but the lead actor looked a lot like Constable Fraser."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

ACHOO! (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/481898.html?thread=22834538#t22834538")

Pippi sneezes with a force that kicks up a cloud of perfectly normal glitter from the floor where it had been sprayed by the morality bot earlyer.

"Ohmigod." Parker covered her face and then glared at Pippi as she got glittered. "I am not Tinkerbell! No matter what Jake says! And Jesus, your strength comes in sneezes, too?"

She blinked as the guy she'd been mentioning to Xander came on the screen. "Oh, this is the movie!"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander blinked too. Then stared. "Wow, he really does look like Constable Mountie."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I think this same actor is in Vail Intensity." Parker's lips twitched. "He's Canadian. That one was... hot."

[soldtoarmenians]

"That flick about snowboarding? I always meant to catch that, but it was never in when I tried to check out the dvd," Xander said. Still watching.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm. Low on plot. But hey, it didn't need it. Nude shower scenes trump plot every time." Parker sighed heavily. "O, Canada. Whoa, Canada."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Well, clothed shower scenes would be kind of--"

[soldtoarmenians]

The scene on the screen? Is suddenly not 19 or 20 thousand anythings under anything.

It's not a clothed shower scene, either.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Defeating the purpose. Yes. But full-frontal? God bless Vail and hot tubs and the idea that steam is a shower curtain." She sighed breathily, and did not look at Xander. Parker kept her eyes glued to the TV screen, where the actor in question was all wet. No, there was no reason why anyone in the room would *want* to change the channel on this.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander's eyes widened. "Ok, since when is there.... THAT in a network remake of that movie with the giant octopus? That's not a giant..." He blinked. "Okay, well..."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmmmmmm." Parker just makes happy noises. And possibly sings "O Canada" under her breath. She can wait until the commercial to clue Xander in. In the meantime, it's like having a puppet-remote. Poke the Xander, watch the BoyBrainTV!

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander dropped his face into his hands. "Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster, what in the noodly hell? This is primetime! Think of the children! Think of me!"

People thinking of him enough to look at his facepalming hands might in fact notice suspiciously-spaced gaps between the fingers. It might be their imaginations, of course.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're probably imagining it. Of course. "Thank you, Flying Spaghetti Monster. I promise to never eat Chef Boyardee-- well, I never have before, so I won't start."

On the commercial, Parker pokes Xander in the side and says, "Hallway. Now."

[soldtoarmenians]

"But..." Xander pointed at the screen, which was currently displaying a pink bunny pounding on a drum and rolling past a field of people singing and holding cola bottles in the air. "TV!" he said forlornly. "Safe, non-dirty tv!"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's eyebrow arches toward the ceiling. "Xander? Now."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Ok, when you put it that way..." Which is to say, in the voice of every girl he's ever found simultaneously intimidating and hot, or possibly the second because of the first...

He swallows and stands up, following her out into the hallway.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye settles into her chair and watches. Yay.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Pretty. Very."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

*sniff*

"Yeah. Sorry... Bless me."

She looked at the screen.

"What movie?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Gesundheit, yes." Parker's still a little grumpy, but now she smiles again. "19000 Miles Under the Sea or something. With an actor who closely resembles our hot Security Guy."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looks closer at the screen, sniffing.

"Ooo. Yeah."

Without taking her eyes off the TV she gives Parker a thumbs up.
