Second Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders had gone back to his room after Ares's class and taken a long nap. Luckily for him, he didn't have any classes tomorrow -- which was good considering that now his sleep schedule was going to be all wonky.

Anyway, he had finally hauled himself next door to the common room, where he was devouring a chicken Caesar salad about the size of a small jacuzzi while watching cheesy old action flicks.

"Wow, the stunt bottle over the head really is universal, apparently."

"Hey!" Anders attempted to swat her hand away and completely failed. "Four at last count, but there's at least an hour to go so there's plenty of room for more."

"Anyone tossed off building yet?" Parker perched on the back of the couch, and kicked off her shoes. "This movie requires popcorn," she said meditatively. "If only for throwing."

"I've got extra croutons," Anders offered, holding the bag out to her. "I think there's a car chase coming up first, and then maybe the throwing off buildings."

Parker grabbed a couple, then said, "Wait," and climbed over the couch to start some popcorn. She came back and took her seat again. "I'm hoping a car goes off a building. Into a lake. That's always the best. Do you guys have these kind of movies on Caprica?"

"Almost exactly the same, but with the corners chopped off," Anders confirmed with a nod. "Cars going into lakes and everything. It's just like home."

He leaned over and nudged her lightly with his elbow. "What did I do to not get growled at tonight, huh?"

Parker looked at him a moment, then nudged him back. "You didn't do anything." She sighed, settling in. "And someone else isn't here to set me off either."

"Didn't realize it bothered you that much, Parker," Anders admitted slowly.

"Enh. My problem. Not yours." She kept her eyes on the screen. "You're okay with how you get treated. I'm not." She stole another crouton, then smiled at him. "You don't seem so tired, right now. Am I wrong?"

Anders laughed. "Went back to my room after Gods and slept like the dead until just now, that's why. Speaking of which, you were right. The teacher is something else."

"Tollld you." Parker shook her head, then said, "Good for you on sleeping. What did you think of 'Ares'?" She smirked. "And did he check out your ass the way he checked out mine?"

Anders blinked. "Not that I know of, but he got really happy when I told him people back home in the Colonies worship him. I'm supposed to pick my favorite next week, I think, and I worry about what happens if I don't pick him."

"I think there's only one right answer with that guy," Parker said. "You might want to consider a saver on Aphrodite, though. I'm pretty sure she's still around, from stuff that got said." She shot him a look. "And we can all use the help, can't we?"
