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]

"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."

"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.

NFB, for now, OMG

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Right." Parker waited until she was sure there was no one around, then kept her voice down. "You're changing the TV cannels. With your mind."

Re: NFB, for now, OMG

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander stared at her. Then he ticked possibilities off on his fingers. "Ok, gremlins, possible but unlikely. Cafeteria food, more common but I would've thought you wouldn't touch it with a ten foot silver spoon..."

Re: NFB, for now, OMG

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Look! Naked Mountie!"

Yes, evil. So?

Re: NFB, for now, OMG

[soldtoarmenians]

"What? Where?"

Xander had spun around and was staring down the empty hallway by the time enough of his brain kicked in to add, "Oh, droll, Parker" or shake his head and guide it gently over to the wall to bang his forehead repeatedly thereupon.

Not that he could see into the common room from where he was doing the thereupon thing, but for anybody who could, there were some wet, naked people climbing a rock on the tv screen now. One of them did bear a striking resemblence to Constable Hat-Dude.

"Oh, wow." Parker was standing in the doorway, smiling in delight. "I was completely right. Stop that. You don't want to hurt yourself. Look! For real this time! Naked guys climbing on the TV screen!"

[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.
