Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

It had been entirely too long since Aravis had truly appreciated her insomnia.

Which was why Tuesday evening found her curled up on the couch with a truly spectacular and moddable array of candy before her, and her dog lounging at her feet. Aravis hadn't settled on anything to watch, so she just plaintively flipped through channels, appreciating a few seconds of each program.

"I'm not certain yet," Aravis admitted, "but what's a teleporter? Or a gypsy?"
notahostage: (If you think my Obi-Wan is good...)

"Usual reasons for horrible transformations happening in these sorts of story," Wendy replied. "Meddling in things man was not meant to understand equals wearing a horrible rubber mask for the second half of the movie."

"Aha, I usually ignore that portion of these films," she told her. "I prefer the action. Or at least the gore."
notahostage: (Happy spelt G-L-E-E)

Wendy grinned. "Ever heard of the video nasties?" she asked.

"...no?" she said, looking a little wary. "Is that a disease?"
notahostage: (You're joking. right?)

Wendy shook her head. "No, it's a style of movie," she explained. "Back in the eighties. Low budget horror. Cheap and trashy. Buckets of fake blood."

"Oooh. Was it at all realistic?" she asked hopefully.
notahostage: (You're joking. right?)

"Varies depending on who made it," Wendy replied. "But they were definitely enthusiastic."

"I just don't understand how anyone could be frightened by them," she mused.
notahostage: (Totally getting flirted with)

[personal profile] notahostage 2008-10-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Wendy shrugged. "Me neither." Because Wendy was totally the go to girl on reacting normally to those sort of things. Yeah.

"It's not even remotely realistic," she said, shaking her head and tsking. "The real thing is much more frightening."
notahostage: (No really. I'm listening)

"Probably why they make movies," Wendy said. "To distract themselves from it."

[identity profile] notqueenyet.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"You think filmmakers really experience these things?" she asked.
notahostage: (No really. I'm listening)

[personal profile] notahostage 2008-10-22 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Wendy shook her head. "But that doesn't mean that they don't think about them."

[identity profile] notqueenyet.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"They likely don't understand, though," Aravis pointed out softly with a sad little smile. "They just operate off of imagination and fear."
notahostage: (No really. I'm listening)

[personal profile] notahostage 2008-10-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"But people who did understand probably wouldn't include that much gore," Wendy replied.

[identity profile] notqueenyet.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"True," Aravis agreed. "Which is less entertaining and too much like reality."
notahostage: (Apathy...blegh)

[personal profile] notahostage 2008-10-22 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Much better to stick with zombie movies," Wendy agreed.
