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."

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?"

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

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."

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!"

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

"Heeey people!" he waves.

"Dark Helmet?" Sam asked, perching on the arm of one of the chairs. "What makes it so compelling, and oh my god, is that what they're calling a gun?"

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

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]

"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."

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

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

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

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

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

"Eager to do things that don't involve wood chips," Willow replied. "You?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Men arr still bastards," Callisto replied.

[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?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin waved back.

Bridge watches silently for a few moments. Then decides that he just can't take it anymore.

"Try the button on the front!" he says, with an impatient bounce.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"What is this?" Bridge says, peering at the screen.

"I'm inclined to go with thirteen year-old girls, personally," Rory said seriously. "But that might be too generous."

Anakin snickered. "See? The entire franchise hinges on the whiny guy with the mohawk. I don't get it. He's not that interesting."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Bridge," Callisto nodded back.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin frowned. "On behalf of men, I feel like I should say 'nuh uh.'"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin blinked. "You were carving something?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Space Battles," Anakin said. "The last one. Third one. Whatever. It's still terrible."
