Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[wantstodirect]

The series premiere of Darkest Night aired tonight and Tony settled himself in the couch with microwave popcorn, soda and a bag of marshmallow strawberries. He'd seen most of the filming, but he hadn't seen the final cut of the episode and he wanted to see how it'd turned out.

Also, Lee Nicholas was shirtless for most of the third act.

He'd mostly handwavily let a few people know about the show's premiere and had a few extra bags of popcorn to make if needed.

[OOC: Open! About Darkest Night. Feel free to assume Tony mentioned the premiere and a viewing party to your character or just wander in.]

Andrew wandered in and plopped down next to Tony. "You have snacks," he noted, peering over at the marshmallows.

Tony pulled a marshmallow strawberry from the bag and held it out to Andrew. "Snacks are mandatory for TV watching," he said.

Andrew gladly took the offered snack. "So, this show we're going to watch," he gestured towards the television, "is there going to be any good eye candy?"

[wantstodirect]

Tony grinned. "Yeah. Lee Nicholas is the best part of this show."

Claire heard noise from the common room on her way up to her room, so she popped her head in and watched for a moment. "Oh, dude, is that the guy from StreetCred? My brother's, like, obsessed with that show."

David liked cops, what could she say?

"Hey Claire," Tony smiled. "Yeah, Mason Reed's got a new show. Wanna join us?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"And what did you do on the show?" he asked. "Did you get to spray water on the shirtless guys?"

"Hey, Tony. It's not like I have plans," Claire decided amiably, plopping herself on the couch. "So has he learned to act in the last seven years?"

[wantstodirect]

"I wish! No, I was a PA. Mostly ran around and did all the stuff no one else wanted to do," Tony said.

[wantstodirect]

"I think he's learned a few new facial expressions," Tony said. "Does that count?"

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

"It's probably close enou...." Claire said, then trailed off, her attention caught by an impressive fight on the screen. "Okay, what's that thing he's fighting?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"What does PA stand for, Pretty Awesome?" He laughed, only a slight nervous edge to it, and looked down at his knees.

Andrew was pretty cute, Tony decided. "Production Assistant," he smiled.

[wantstodirect]

"A chupacabra," Tony said.

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

"A goat-sucker thingie?" Claire repeated. "Huh. They were hairier on Z-Cases."

She was starting to wonder what kind of show this was, but was temporarily too mesmerized by the cheese to ask.

"So how did you land that job?" He glanced over at Tony and smiled back.

[wantstodirect]

"They were," Tony agreed. "Which is funny, 'cause I think these are the same costumes. Must've shed some hair in storage."

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

"It does have that whole Vancouver look," Claire nodded. "All gray and pine trees. Did they film this up there?"

Marco was bored. The TV was on. Hence, there was a Marco in the common room, being not as bored.

"Kinda got lucky," Tony said. "I was looking for work but I couldn't get a response from calling people. I showed up at the soundstage to try and talk someone into letting me talk to someone who could hire me, and it turned out their PA had just quit. Said if I cleaned up the vomit in Raymond Dark's filing cabinet, I could have the job. So I did."

[wantstodirect]

"Yeah," Tony said. "Actually, I worked on this show this summer."

[wantstodirect]

"Hey Marco," Tony said. "You like vampire detective shows?"

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

"Seriously?" Claire's interest shifted away from the screen. "Doing what?"

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Claire waved at Marco. "You aren't a monkey this time!"

[wantstodirect]

"Production assistant," Tony said. "Bottom rung job, but it was good experience."
