2nd Floor Common Room [Tuesday Evening]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

All dried off after Scoobying that afternoon, Bridge is now curled up on a couch in the common room, watching reruns of The Amazing Sci-Fi Submarine Show¹. Because it amuses him to watch a show from over ten years ago that supposedly takes place in his time.

And predictably, Anders comes bouncing in. He even remembered to bring a tray of cupcakes this time, but he's not touching them himself.

"Hey, dude! What're we watching?"

Dean wandered in, drawn by the noise of the tv. "Oh hey, I remember this show," he said, dropping onto the couch beside Bridge.

Rory gingerly vaulted herself over the back of a couch. "My dad likes this show," she noted. "It always looked silly to me."

Z was looking for something to do when she passed the common room and saw Bridge inside. "Oh, hey, there you are. What the heck is on the TV?"

"Scifi Submarine Show," Bridge says. "Which is not entirely accurate in their depiction of my time, but... dolphin," Bridge says, pointing at the TV, where Lamarck the dolphin is currently onscreen.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Aw, when is it ever accurate? It's TV," says Anders, holding out the cupcake tray. "But I guess you can forgive anything for dolphins, huh? What is it about dolphins? The blowhole?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I've never seen it," Bridge admits. "Till now, anyway. The dolphin makes up for the lack of accuracy about my time."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It is, kinda," Bridge says. "But dolphin!"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It got silly by the end but it was pretty good at first," Dean argued. "And the dolphin was cool."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Here I am," Bridge says with a nod. "The Amazing Scifi Submarine Show, apparently. Supposedly, it takes place around 2018."

[multiplez]

"Yeah? Does it even get close?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge snags a cupcake, of course. "Thanks, dude. And I dunno what it is. They're cute and they swim, and they're just... cool."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I like dolphins," Rory said, nodding. "They're cute. Do you know how close they are to humans, in terms of intelligence and emotional range? They're up there with apes."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Blowhole," Anders says, nodding. "I'm telling you."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Perfect ten, Gilmore!" Anders pretended to hold up a sign.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dude, the dolphin totally made the show." He grinned. "And he made up for the lack of accuracy with its own continuity too."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I can get behind the dolphin," Rory agreed. "I'm very pro-dolphin. But it's still kind of hokey."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I should get a medal for couch-leaping," Rory agreed seriously.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I hate when shows ignore their own continuity," Bridge gripes. And then because he can't resist. "So did you do anything particularily embarassing when you thought you were Sam this weekend?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Don't encourage me!" exclaimed Anders. "Or you're gonna make me want to come up with some kind of Common Room Olympics!"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"That's part of its charm," Dean grinned.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I remember reading that somewhere, yeah." Bridge grins.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oooh."

Rory's eyes went wide. "We should have Common Room Olympics. Animal balancing could be part of it!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Not really?" Bridge says. "But there's a dolphin."

Bridge just gives Anders an odd look before biting in to his cupcake.
