Fourth Floor Common Room - Saturday Evening

[likethegun]

Sam had spent the better part of his day dealing with a post-Seahorse party headache, and vowing to never eat another gummi bear again. Now that he was feeling better, he'd ventured out of his room and gone upstairs to relax on the fourth floor. Flipping through the TV channels had gotten him two Bitterwoman reruns, some cartoons, a news show, and what looked like some sort of movie about pirates, which he quickly decided to leave on.

A few minutes later, when the female pirates started taking each others clothes off, Sam figured out that it wasn't just a pirate movie - it was pirate porn, and he allowed himself to be intrigued for a few moments before realizing that the common room was probably not the best place to watch this sort of thing.

Sam hit the remote to change the channel, and frowned when nothing happened. Smacking the remote against the table a few times and trying again didn't work either, so he got up, went over to the television, and hit the buttons on the front to change the channel. Still nothing. Getting more frantic, Sam reached around to the back of the television and pulled the power cord from the outlet. And yet, the pirate porn remained, and Sam found himself wondering if fleeing would be a viable option.

[*blames this entirely on the FH SPN fans, and Eric Kripke, for giving us Sam canon that consists of "He's afraid of porn."* Ahem. Open to all! The pirate porn is...eclectic, so feel free to have your character come in while a different kind of pair is going at it. All I ask is that if you're somehow capable of fixing the television, please don't. *g*]

"Wow," Jim said. "So, you have experience with killing things?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"A little. But only evil things!" Buffy assured him. She narrowed her eyes. "You're not evil, are you?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"I am moderately mischievious, but definitely not evil, no," Jim said. "So, how do you come to be in the business of killing things?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm the slayer. Usually, there's only one in the entire world, but now Mel is here, there's two of us. We're destined to fight evil and look good doing it," Buffy explained.

Jim had to admit that she was very good at half of that, at least. "So that's what her deal was. She's a bit more... overt about being tough and killing things, isn't she?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy considered Mel. "Maybe? But she's from, like, the future, so maybe everyone is like that there?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Jim said. "So you're not from the future too or anything?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Ten years in the past," Buffy said. "But I'm still stylin'!" She preened a little.

"You are," Jim said. "I'm from the present and the only bloodsuckers I've ever killed are mosquitoes, but I swear, it's more interesting than it sounds."

Buffy grinned. "Was there an epic fight?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"No, but there was a light and a lot of zappy noises," Jim said. "Sure, the bug zapper did most of the work, but there was this one huge mosquito that I smacked. So, yeah, I contributed to the battle."

"Go you, great hunter!" Buffy giggled. "That's very impressive."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"It was nothing, really," Jim said with mock false modesty.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Aw, you mustn't say that." Buffy leaned against him, grinning. She was trying to look like an adoring fan. "Not everyone can be a mosquito killer! It takes bravery!"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

That was girl contact. Amazingly, it made him feel more awkward than the fact that there was pirate porn on the television. "Um, well, yeah, it also takes quick reflexes. Or tasty blood so the mosquito lingers a bit, you know?"

Buffy nodded solemnly. "Do you have a superhero name too?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"No, I just go by Jim. You know, make people fear you by not even bothering with a badass name," Jim said.
