Third Floor Common Room: Sunday Evening

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Ron has been sitting in front of the TV for quite some time now. He seems to be entranced with a television show that deals with Aurors but in a muggle variety. They also seem to be obsessed with SUV's.

And there's a "DOINK DOINK" sound that keeps happening that appears to have some sort of hypnotic quality.

[Open like a common room]

Peter wandered down the hall to the common room and saw the TV on. "Hey," Peter said. "Great show. That's just how it happens, only with less spandex."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Ron blinked. "Spandex? What's that? Some sort of car?"

Chad probably shouldn't be up eating this late, but he was hungry, dammit, and headed to the common room for some food. He lifted his chin in greeting to everyone already there on his way over to the fridge, but stopped, blinking at the TV.

"What is this?" he asked, wondering if it was one of those shows that was the reason he didn't watch TV hardly at all, or if it was one of the reasons why he should be watching TV more often.

"It's a fabric," Peter said. "Sorry, I was making a joke. It's a good show, though."

"Crime and Punishment, SUV," Ron said looking entranced by yet another "Doink-Doink". "It's about the police who investigate car crimes."

"Hey, Chad," Peter said. "It's good TV."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Sorry. I'm not up on a lot of muggle stuff," Ron said. "I just learned how to operate the remote the other day."

There was a long moment of staring. Yeah. That was probably going to go in Chad's file of reasons why he was going to continue his belief that there was nothing worthwhile on TV after all. And yet, oddly enough, there he was, grabbing a V-8 and a sammich from the fridge and going to (carefully) sit down in his usual, sturdy chair.

"Like what kinda car crimes?"

Adam had handwavily relaxed in his room for most of the day, except for when he'd gone to Flag Football.

He was in search of some food and company and had happened down onto the third floor.

"Hey Ron," Adam greeted his fake little brother, as he entered the common room. "Something good?" He gestured towards the television.

"You sure?" Chad asked with an arch of his eyebrow, and then wondering if he was in any place to talk, considering what he was watching yesterday. "And, hey, Peter. S'up?" Peter got another chin lift.

Peter recognized that word now thanks to Hermione. "It's great, isn't it? They found a way to make being lazy and watching TV even lazier with technology."

"Well most of them appear to have dead bodies in them," Ron replied. "Or drugs. Or Soccer moms."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Cop show," Ron replied. "The one that goes Doink-Doink."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Plus it has buttons!" Ron said holding up the remote. "Though if you hit the wrong one the TV starts speaking to you in a different languange."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Well, not good so much as silly and entertaining," Peter said. "But that's enough most of the time, I think."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hey Adam," Peter greeted. "How've you been?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh cool," Adam admitted. "I don't think I've ever seen this one."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Hey Peter," Adam smiled. "I've been good, how about you?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad's head tilted for a long moment before the question that begged to be asked finally managed to process.

"What about all three at once?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad, clearly, liked serious television (as evident in the fact that one of his favourite shows involved a guy running around Japan speaking in random English phrases while 'hunting' ghosts), so he could only grunt in response to Peter's assessment, taking a pensive (or what he thought was pensive) sip of his drink and frowning at the TV some more.

"Adam," Chad lifted his chin with a grunt of greeting. "S'up?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"There should be another button that if you press it, the dialog will show up at the bottom of the screen," Peter said. "Anything on there say 'CC'?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Hey Chad," Adam gave him a slight wave. "Not much, looking forward to Parents Weekend. You?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"I think that's next week's episode," Ron said scratching his head. "And I think the soccer mom is also a prostitute on the side."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad shrugged. "My parents are dead," he said, as if commenting on the colour of the walls in the room, "so I guess not really? You?"
