Third Floor Common Room: Thursday Evening

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

There was a sign near the entrance to the CR.

Single Zone:
No couples or significant others allowed.
Any couple coming in and acting cute enters at their own risk

Anyone venturing past the sign would find Mel watching horror movies. Specifically horror movies where young couples in love end up getting killed.

There was also a mug of something she was drinking that was definitely not alcoholic. Really.

[Open of course. Even to OTP couples. *glares*]

"Doom has no need for candy," Doom said. "Take it away."

[the_merriest]

"Okay," Rikku shrugged. "You change your mind and it's over here. You aren't a Ronso, are you?"

They totally talked in third-person, too. But they were seven-foot-tall blue horned cat people, so probably not.

"What is a Ronso?" Doom asked.

He wasn't going to give an answer until he knew what one was. He wasn't one to fall for language tricks.

[the_merriest]

"They're ... uh. About this tall? Blue and furry and big freaking horns and they're really good fighters and they live up on Gagazet where it's really cold. Uh. So ... I'm guessing you're not? Although Kimahri doesn't have a horn, either, I mean, his got broken off, and you might have fur under the armor. Sulley's pretty furry." Rikku munched on another candy heart as if the above made sense in any way whatsoever.

"Doom is no Ronso," Doom said. "I was once a mere human, but Doom has since eclipsed such meager origins."

[the_merriest]

"Nifty," Rikku said, through a mouthful of candy. "So you're ... some kinda superhero-y thing? I'm a Guardian myself."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Doom is no superhero," Doom said. "Doom is the ruler of the country of Latveria. This armor is a symbol of my power and of my mastery over both the mystic arts and science. Making an attempt to equate it with the costumes of those simple-minded hypocritical minions of the American justice system is an oversight that will not be further tolerated."

"So, you're like a king?" she asked. "My dad kinda rules the Al Bhed, but he doesn't have a title or armor or anything. He's just Cid. He gets to fly the airship, though. I mean, that's nice."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Bah. 'King' is an outdated title that was destroyed with the end of the previous monarchy," Doom said. "There is now no King of Latveria. There is ONLY DOCTOR DOOM."

[the_merriest]

Rikku blinked. And then nodded. "Whoa. That sounds all impressive, when you say it like that. DOCTOR DOOM, all booming and stuff. I don't think you can do that with Cid. It's all flat, Ciiiiiiiiid. Not the same effect at all."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"There is much about Doom that is impressive," Doom said. "But I will admit that some pride is taken in the booming quality Doom's voice can achieve."

[the_merriest]

"It was seriously cool," she grinned. "It was all DOOOOOM like there's something AFTER YOU. I can't do it right but that's fun to say anyway. DOOOOOOOOOOOM."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Your adoration is bordering on mockery," Doom said. "Cease it now."

[the_merriest]

Rikku sighed. "It wasn't mockery," she huffed. "I just liked saying Dooooooooom."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"And you will eventually find another word that amuses you," Doom said. "But no longer will it be the name of Doom."

[the_merriest]

"Probably," Rikku agreed, tossing candy up into the air and catching it in her mouth. "Lots of words are fun to say. I'll think of something sooner or later. You should really loosen up, you know."

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Doom does not 'loosen up,'" Doom said. "Doom simply is as he is meant to be."

[the_merriest]

"Doom might possibly want to learn to chill out," she said helpfully. "Or else Doom is totally gonna be a nervous wreck and have a big meltdown thing sooner or later."
