Second floor common room [Evening]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin had spent most of the day brooding meditating and replaying the trip to Coruscant in his mind.

The thoughts it had led to had been entirely too depressing.

That's why he had migrated up to the second floor common room and commandeered the television set.

Not that the last Space Battles prequel was any less depressing, but he could keep himself entertained by mocking the terrible technology and equally terrible dialogue.

Sam walked into the common room and caught a look at the television. "What am I looking at?"

"Oh, and hi, Anakin. Welcome back."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin smiled. "It's good to be back." He waved at the television. "This is Space Battles. It's kind of terrible but I can't stop watching it. The story of Dark Helmet is strangely compelling."

Tyler nodded to Sam, offering her his chips. "How's it going?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie came in and waved at Carter. "Hey Sam. How's it going? I haven't talked to you in forever."

In a completely unsurprising move, Hamlet wandered down to the second floor common room. Except this time, he may have brought a bag of chips with him, as though expecting to find someone watching TV.

"Space Battles? I don't believe I've seen this one yet. Did the dialogue get any better than in the previous films?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"No," Anakin said. "I kinda want to throw things at the Dark Helmet guy, too. I mean, who turns evil because someone's going to hurt your puppy? That's totally stupid."

Callisto flopped down on the nearest couch and gave an unenthused grunt.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin gave her a worried look. "How're you doing?"

After spending time cleaning out Amy's cage, Willow was up for some non-ratty company. She went wandering until she found a common room with people in it. "Hey, Anakin!"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Willow!" Anakin grinned. "How are you?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Willow," Callisto nodded, because she could be polite on occasion.

Xander grinned and waved his phone like a big dork who's never had one before and so won't let it out of his hands now at her. "Hey, Willow!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Willow!" Bridge says with a wave.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Willow. Been a while." Parker gave her a wave as she took a seat, and wished she had popcorn. "Ready for the new term?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge wanders in to the common room and sprawls on a couch.

"Heeey people!" he waves.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Bridge," Anakin replied with a small wave.

Rory wandered out and flung herself onto the couch by Anakin. "I told you the dialogue was bad," she said, shaking her head.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"It's really, really bad," he said. He turned to her, put his hand to his forehead and then proclaimed, "I love you like I'm blind!" and cracked up. "Who writes this stuff?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Not surprisingly, Xander followed shortly after Bridge; the only reason he was a few moments later was that he'd been - and was still - half looking where he was going, half poking at buttons and frowning at the screen of the phone in his hand.

He found his way to the couch where Bridge was, then managed to pay enough attention to his surroundings to wave at people. "Hi!"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin waved back.

Tyler walked into the common room, bag of salt-and-vinegar chips in hand. "So what are we watching?"

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

"One of the newer Space Battles movies, I think," said Hamlet, motioning him to put his chips on the table with the other bag. "The writing in this is terrible, but it still makes for an entertaining watch."

Drawn by the explosions and space battles, Peter wandered into the common room. "Evening, everyone. What's being watched?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Peter!" Bridge waves. "Old scifi. Though I guess it's new scifi, from your perspective."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Ooo, Space Battles." Parker sits down and cocks her head at screen. "I haven't watched this since Spring Break."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin shifted on the sofa, turning away from Parker. Fascinating things, movies.

Alec found himself a seat on one of the couches and sat down with his king-sized bag of M&Ms, looking at the TV curiously. "Ooh, what's this?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Completely implausible avionics," Sam responded, mesmerized by the badness. "What the hell, is this a galaxy without physics?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie enters the CR and gives everyone a friendly wave.

"Hey gang. Just another crazy Saturday night?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Looks like," Bridge nods. "Old movies on TV."

Aeryn could look happier when she walks by the common room. A lot happier. She's really only here because there are maybe three or four people who could get a normal conversation out of her, and everyone else would get bitched at. Either way, it's a win/win.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Hey Aeryn," Jamie said popping open a soda. "How're you doing?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter wandered down into the common room since his mun wasn't playing in space at the moment and took a seat.

He was still pretty geeked out over the fact that he went to another planet.

[can_be_more]

Figuring she can deal with Peter even in this sort of mood, she gives him a nod when he walks in.

Late in the evening, Alanna joined he gathering in the common room. "People!"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Alanna!" Parker waved to her as Willow went away, looking unnerved. "How was your trip into space?"
