Second Floor Common Room - RT's Wake

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]

Xander flailed, but in a controlled manner. "I should know? I don't even know where this is coming from." He peeked gingerly through his fingers and was luckily rewarded with a shot of a woman in dominatrix gear rather than the librarian lookalike. "I'm not making it up; there's station logo on it. It's really playing somewhere."

"Lemme try to change it to something on purpose." He frowned and squinted, but nothing happened. "No joy. Dammit. What'm I missing here?"

"It's an impulse control thing, I think. Two words mesh in your head, and suddenly, we get station identification. It amuses me that all roads lead to porn, but it's not really surprising." Parker shook her head. "Tell it to change to something specific?"

It was at that moment (and let's all be thankful it wasn't moments before, with traumatizing wallkissy) that Rory wandered out of the common room.

She paused, glancing between Parker and Xander, and then, due to an earlier conversation with Jaye and Bridge, said the first thing that came to mind.

"Are you being brave like soldiers?"

"No, we are not being brave like soldiers ~~because soldiers tend to get court-martialed for traumatizing wallkissy on duty~~, and will that song ever die?" Xander answered. "It's been out of the top 40 for weeks now; I'll bet they're not even playing the video anymore."

Which gave him a thought -- he concentrated on the MTV logo, and gave the tv screen a hard glance.

And it flipped.

To MTV.

"Woohoo!" Xander said. Then he coughed, covering his mouth. "I mean, see, MTV happens to be on, and no sign of that damn--"

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now...

"Ghhhhhaahhhhh..."

"It's the best song ever - " Rory started before pausing and turning to look back at the TV. "Okay, that's just weird. Talk about creepy timing, huh?"

Of course, being startled, Rory lost a leg as she said this, and was forced to lean against a wall.

"I'm falling apart. I'm a someone broken. This is SO my song."

"Don't worry, Rory, I'm here to hold you, someone broken that you are and all." Bridge says, picking up Rory's leg and passing it to her helpfully.

"Thank you, Bridgey," Rory said, reattaching the leg ~~and yes, she's wearing a skirt and no, you can't see up it~~. "Just let me hold you when we both fall down, okay?" She frowned. "Lots of holding in this song."

Parker started giggling, and couldn't stop. She didn't look at Xander, because then she would've gone to pieces even more spectacularly than Rory, but she did pat him on the arm. "I think my work here is done. For tonight, anyway."

"Be ~~nice~~ good, or I'll switch it to CMT," he whispered.

Parker stuck her tongue out at him, then grinned.
