4th Floor Common Room, Evening

Isabel is sprawled on the couch watching mocking The Apprentice. She has popcorn to snack on but she's mostly using it as ammunition to throw at the screen.

Molly wandered by and heard the TV. She stuck her head in the room and entered fully when she saw it was Isabel. "Hi, Isabel. What are you watching?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey Molly! The Apprentice. It's pretty funny watching these supposedly extremely smart people make asses of themselves." She patted the seat next to her. "Come, have a seat and mock with me."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Cool." Molly walked over and sat next to Isabel. "So, what do they have to do?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"This week they're writing jingles for Arby's. So far the one team has managed to piss off the Arby's executives by showing up late for their meeting." Isabel shook her head. I'm a teenager and even I know that's a bad idea."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly scoffed. "Yeah. No kidding." She watched for a while, cringing as one team worked on their jingle. "These people really have no clue, do they?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No. And that scares me. They're supposed to be the best out of thousands and thousands of applicants." There was more shaking of the head and a fist full of popcorn went flying towards the screen. "Idiots."

"Well, that wasn't a surprise," Molly commented when the task winner was announced.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Not at all. I like it." Isabel raised an eyebrow when the winner's reward was announced, "Now that sounds like it would be interesting. A truffle dinner?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I've never had truffles. It's hard to imagine that a mushroom thingy tastes that good."

Alanna came into the common room, Faithful on a leash made out of a length of ribbon. Faithful did not look happy. Alanna blinked at the tv. "Um...?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Mocking people as they make asses of themselves. Come join us. It's fun," Isabel said as she waved Alanna over. She laughed when she saw the leash. "He's still looking at Logan as dinner?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"No one loves me." Faithful said sadly and pulled at his leash. "I said I wouldn't eat the bunny boy." "Yes, but then you actually tried to eat him." "Were there any teeth marks?" "I'm ignoring you."

Alanna turned back to Isabel. "Okay, um, wait, is this like actually happening? Or are they actors? And what's with his hair?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel laughed watching Alanna and Faithful bicker. "Faithful you can't eat the students, it'll make the administration cranky. And they're scary."

"As for this," she said with a wave at the TV. "This is reality TV. These are real people competing to land a job with Donald Trump. He's the insanely rich guy with the really bad hair. And yes, the hair is bizarre. But it's his way of saying I'm so rich I just don't care."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Faithful snorted but settled down in Alanna's arms, occasionally pulling on the leash to see if Alanna's grip had loosened.

"Um, he's so rich he doesn't need a hair style person? What does he do?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He's in real estate. The Donald owns huge chunks of New York City and other cities." Isabel shook her head, "I can't explain why he's so popular but this is the fourth time he's done this show."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna blinked and settled down to watch. "So now they randomly yell at each other for fun?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well it's fun for us," Isabel explained. "But now the losing team has to go to the boardroom and one of them will wind up fired and have to leave the game. But before they go, there's much spreading of blame and pointing of fingers."

Peter walked up to the common room after being done with playing a villain, finally. "Hey, people, what's on?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Much mocking of people that are supposedly the best and the brightest," Isabel explained. "I fear for the future of American business."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I fear for the future of small American mammals if they all take after Trump," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"They'll be squished," Isabel laughed. "Or lost in his hair. And yet he walks around with beautiful women on his arm. He has to realize that they're not with him for his looks."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Come on, could you resist a man wearing a rodent that magnificent on his head?" Peter asked. "Be honest. That's the best possum money can buy."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Do you really think it's possum? I was thinking possibly an echidna (http://www.naturebase.net/plants_animals/odd_echidna.html)," Isabel said seriously. "All I know is that for what he spends on haircare products, you could probably feed a family of four for a month."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I don't think he'd go for an Australian animal. It has to be either American or French, and I doubt he's wearing a poodle," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're right. And that's no poodle. It has to be top grade, farm raised possum," Isabel agreed. "I wonder if we should turn him into PETA for excessive cruelty to animals? Because I'm sure lots of possums have sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Donald's do."
