Third floor common room, Monday evening

They blew up the school.

They blew up the school.

And people were leaving - not that he really knew many of them very well, but then again he didn't know many people at this school very well.

Thus, Jim was dealing by watching bad sci-fi thrillers. He was sitting on the couch with popcorn and a fizzy beverage, his feet up and 'The Concealed' in the DVD player. Any similarity between the scantily clad alien host and a certain space Russian was purely coincidental.

Cassie had wandered up and head tilted at the screen, then sighed.

"Boys."

"That's a girl," Jim pointed out helpfully.

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeah," Cassie said. "Where's her clothes?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"She took most of them off in the last scene."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Why?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Something to do with the alien parasite thing, I think."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Cassie said. "They always do that."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Alien parasites cause nakedness?"

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Having never encountered them, I really wouldn't know," Cassie said. "But I guess you go with what works for stupid boy-targeting movies, huh?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Boy-targeting? This is an enjoyable film aimed at any sci-fi fan. Really."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Riiiiight," Cassie said.

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Jim smiled innocently.

"That doesn't work with me," Cassie said.

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Well what would?"

Blair had been heading upstairs when he saw his friend and he plopped onto the couch next to Jim. "Hey, man, what's up? Can I have some popcorn? Whatcha watching?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Chief. Yes. 'The Concealed'. It's pretty cheesy - but that chick's pretty hot." He handed him the bowl of popcorn.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair took a handful of popcorn before checking out the hot chick on the screen. "She's certainly not wearing a lot of cloth-ohmygod!"

The hot chick reminded him enough of Ivanova that he blushed bright red and choked a little on the popcorn.

Jim thumped him helpfully on the back. "You alright there, Chief?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair leaned forward and nodded. "Yeah, yeah, it's just...wow, she looks like someone I know."

He covered his eyes with his hands and kept talking. "So how'd you do grade-wise?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Jim watched him with amusement, but he sounded surprised when he answered, "Actually . . . well."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Awesome, man." Blair grinned and bounced. "Why are you so shocked? You're not just a brainless jock, you know."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"I'm not?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair reached up to knock lightly on Jim's head. "Nope, not hollow."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Jim swatted him away in irritation. "Blair . . ."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, yeah." Blair laughed. "But you should really give yourself more credit. You're a pretty smart guy. In addition to your other talents."

"Speaking of which, any problems?"
