Third Floor Common Room: Evening

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Ron is relaxing and watching BBC America. He's not sure what the show is exactly but it involves some weird British guy who flies around the universe in telephone booth.

"Seriously," Ron said rolling his eyes. "Muggles will watch anything."

That of course doesn't stop him from continuing to watch the show.

Katara wandered into the Common Room, intent on making hot chocolate. The odd television accent only distracted her a little. "What movie's that?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"No idea," Ron replied. "That girl Lily keeps calling the guy in the suit 'Mister' but never says his last name."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"...why are you watching it then?" she asked, feeling this was a rather obvious question.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Um. There's nothing else good on?" Ron said realizing that it made no sense. "Plus they're all British, you see. It's kind of nice to hear the accent."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"British?" Katara repeated, finally going to the cupboard to rout out wherever the hot chocolate had ended up today. "Oh, you mean across the ocean there?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Right," Ron replied. "It's a pretty small country but I call it home. Have we met? I'm Ron."

"Hmmf wmm wmmf hmmmf?" Sokka asked, as he peered into the room.

Thanksgiving, with a capital T, may have been new to Sokka, but thanksgiving feasts weren't, and one of the best parts was always the leftovers. And Momo Jr. was hanging out in his arms, which is why he was carrying the leg of cold turkey clenched in his teeth.

"Non magic type people," Ron explained as he was fully fluent in talking with his mouth full. "They'll watch just about anything. Enjoying the leftovers from Thursday? Or is that an entirely new leg of turkey?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shifted Momo Jr. to his shoulder and took the leg out of his mouth. "I think anybody will watch just about anything," he countered, "especially when they're bored. What does being magical have to do with it?"

He took a bite out of the leg and continued talking as he chewed. "I HOPE it's leftovers. I found it in the fridge."

"Oh. Where I'm from we generally don't have a TV," Ron explained. "Usually the non-magic type people use it for entertainment. And shouldn't you check to see what you're eating first?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Where I'm from, NOBODY has TV," Sokka pointed out. "I'm going to see about bringing one back with me. You should, too."

He looked down at the turkey leg. "It's MEAT," he explained. "It's cooked. It's not spoiled. It didn't have anyone's name on it. ...What else should I have checked?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Have you been here long? What if that isn't turkey?" Ron pointed out. "It could be a gremlin leg."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara waved at her brother. "Hi Sokka. Hi Momo Jr."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka grinned and waved the turkey leg in greeting. A bit of congealed grease flew off of it in her general direction. "Hey! How's things?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She ducked the grease. "Ew. I'm looking for hot chocolate. Want some?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"DO I EVER!" Sokka exclaimed, bouncing excitedly.

Momo Jr., who was balancing precariously on Sokka's shoulder, gripped tighter, and Sokka winced.

Naminé hesitated in the doorway, holding her sketchpad. "Is that a ... phone booth?" she asked.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Sure looks like it," Ron replied. "I'm not sure how it can travel through the universe without magic but hey... it's only a TV show."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure it isn't magic?" Naminé asked, sitting down on a nearby chair. "TV shows seem to make good use of that. As well as fudging any bit of science that isn't convenient for their purposes."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Well I don't see them waving any wands. That Mister guy has a sonic whatchamacallit that he uses but that doesn't look like a wand to me," Ron mused.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"It doesn't, does it?" she laughed. "Not a proper staff at all. So much for realism. I'm appalled, personally."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Not a real one," Sokka pointed out. "Phone booths aren't red."

He grinned and waved at the Snowmonster.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé laughed. "Well. We wouldn't want to suspend our disbelief in such a drastic manner. Imagine, if phone booths were painted red."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Also, there's no such thing as phone booths," Sokka continued. "They're just convenient background scenery for Superguy to use to change his clothes in.

Naminé lifted her eyebrows. "It's a vast conspiracy, and you've uncovered it?" she giggled. "Well done, I must say."
