Fifth Floor Common Room - Friday Evening

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois? Totally not about hanging around some volcano. She was, however, all about kung-fu movies and she happened to stumble across a channel full of them. She popped some popcorn and grabbed a soda out of the fridge and settled down on the couch for an evening full of ass kicking. The movie that was on now had some weird plot about elephant theft. Animal stealing and ass kicking. It doesn't get much better than that.

[Open! Not gonna lie, I love this movie]

Ned wasn't on his floor but he wasn't lost. He was just taking advantage of the quiet dorm to go exploring.

If someone asked him, he'd say he wasn't exploring, he was familiarizing himself with his surroundings.

It was exploring.

He happened upon the common room and, before he could say hi to Lois, was peering at the television curiously.

It wasn't until there was a break in the action that Lois realized there was someone else in the room with her. She was glad seemed to find the movie as fascinating as she did.

"Some guy is trying to find his stolen elephant," Lois explained. "And he's kicking the ass of whoever tries to get in his way."

"What's so important about the elephant?" Ned asked as he wandered into the common room. "Special elephant?"

"The main dude's family comes from a long line of elephant protectors. They're sacred or something," Lois said, shrugging. "Anyways, this guy's favorite baby elephant was stolen by an Chinese gang who are based in Australia. So that's why they're in Sydney instead of Bangkok or whatever."

"Complicated movie," Ned said, nodding at the television. "I wouldn't have taken you for an...elephant fan."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm not. I mean, they're cute in a giant smelly sort of way but I'm by no means an elephant fangirl," she said. Lois offered the bowl of popcorn to Ned. "I'm more of a kung-fu movie fan."

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Ned took a seat, calculating the distance, and took a small handful of the popcorn. "I'm...neither, really. I prefer dogs and...glaring."

"Are you especially good at glaring?" she asked.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Not even a little," he said, shaking his head. "I don't tend to get angry."

Lois shook her head. "Your good traits are just adding up. It's not fair."

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned tried to hide his latest blush behind his hand. It didn't much work. "I can try to...acquire some bad traits?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I couldn't possibly ask you to do that," she teased. "I'll just have to work on getting some good traits of my own. It'll be nice having goals."

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"You have good traits," Ned said quickly. "You have a lot of them."

Dick walked into the room just in time to see some guy totally kick the crap out of someone. "I don't know what this is, but it looks awesome."

[OOC: And if the elephant plot weren't awesome enough, it has the really awesome single shot fight scene through the building. I love this movie.]

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I know!" Lois said excitedly. "I mean, I've never seen someone so passionate about an elephant. It's beautiful in a totally disturbing way."

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"What's the deal with him and the elephant anyway?" Dick said. Not that it mattered when the guy kicked somebody that hard in the face. "Is he just a really big nature lover or something?"

[OOC: The only thing that could have made that movie better is if he set his legs on fire just to kick someone with firey feet in this one, too.]

"He comes from a long line of elephant protectors," Lois said. "And these aren't any elephants. They're war elephants. Whatever that means."

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"Man, I used to think that growing up with circus elephants was nice. But war elephants?" Dick asked. "I think this guy's my new hero."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Mine too. And I've never even been around an elephant," Lois said. Tanks, sure. Elephants, not so much. "I'm Lois, by the way."

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"I'm Dick," Dick said. "You're in auto maintenance, right?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"That's right. I thought you looked familiar," she said. She had been trying to keep a low profile in that class since the whole bra-in-the-car incident. "But it's kind of hard to be social in a class where your head is underneath a car's hood most of the time."

"Especially since if you're doing things right the room should be filled with engine noises before the end of the workshop," Dick agreed. "I guess everyone could just suck one week and use the time to chat."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois laughed. "That could work. Unless Winchester deems us all idiots and makes us watch him demonstrate over and over again until we get it right."

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about you, but I'm confident I could make up the work pretty quickly," Dick said. "It wouldn't be so bad for me."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"It depends on what it was. I can change a tire pretty quickly," Lois said. "But anything that has to do with engines and stuff kind of confuses me."
