Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

It had taken a few moments to figure out the DVD player, but Merlin did as he was told and just pushed buttons until it worked. It was a surprisingly good method.

He sat back, ready to watch this porno thing that Emmett had said would be interesting.

And in the first five minutes, he couldn't quite understand the draw of this sort of entertainment. It was only like Morgana and Gwen in the fact that they looked vaguely similar. The way they talked and the room they were in certainly didn't look like any castle he'd ever seen. And, really, those dresses were just terribly impractical for a lady or a servant. They must be terribly cold--

Merlin's eyes went very big as the dress issue was solved and they ladies started kissing. The only sound he made was the verbal equivalent of a keysmash.

[[Open like a common room where a wizard is being scarred for life is!]]

Tony had wandered upstairs in hopes that someone might be cooking. He stopped and stared at the screen. "... why are you watching that? Here?"

Merlin opened and closed his mouth, doing an excellent impression of a fish for a moment. "Is this what people call entertainment here?!"

"Hey, do you guys have a vegetable peeler in-- whoa, what the heck is that?" asked Harper, staring at the television.

Chuck's eyes widened a bit when he saw there was porn playing in the common room but he couldn't say he was disappointed to find it was there. And he's seen this one.

"Did you get to the part when they're doing it in the horse stables yet?" he asked. Oh, there's so much hay in that scene.

Flailing his hands a bit, Merlin made an odd sort of noise of frustration. "Emmett said it was like a soap opera!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"What?!" Oh, his poor mind.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"My grandma and I watch a lot of soap operas together when I'm at home for the summer, and I've never seen one with girl-on-girl action like that!" screeched Harper.

When Sokka realized exactly WHAT it was that he was hearing faintly, he ran down the stairs. "DUDE! Are we having a porno party???" he asked. "You really need some alcohol to go with it!"

Chuck was momentarily distracted by the poor kid's huge ears. God, that was unfortunate. It was like Paris Hilton's wonky eye. You just couldn't look away.

Eventually he turned his attention back to the matter at hand. Which was girl on girl action.

"Didn't mean to spoil you," Chuck said. "They do it in the hay later. Some interesting camera angles in that scene."

"It's what people call porn," Tony said dryly. "And, uh, yeah, it is. Though it's the kind of entertainment you usually watch alone. In private. Where did you get this?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"How do I stop it?" Merlin asking pushing buttons on the remote.

No, that only made it louder.

Dinah was headed back to her room, and heard televised gasping as she came up the stairs. So she had to check it out.

"Omigod." She smacked a hand over her eyes and then said, "Who can't watch the porno in their own room?!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You know what this is?" Merlin's ears asked, risking a glance back at the... what on earth was she lic--Oh. OH.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"There's no party!" Merlin said quickly, trying to quiet him before even more people showed up.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Oh, gee, I don't know. Maybe you should hit 'stop' to stop it?" said Harper, unable to hold back the sarcasm.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know!" Merlin said, wishing he could just hide behind the couch now.

Francine was, well, let's face it, she was wandering the common rooms looking for snacks that weren't what she found in her own. However when she poked her head into one on the 3rd floor, the sequence of events went roughly:

1. It's Merlin!

2. "Merlin!"

3. WHUT.

4. "...WHUT?"

Sometimes Francine's inner monologue was not all that complicated.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin squinted down at the remote. "Is it a button?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Merlin?!" Dinah risked peeking through her fingers to see him, and tried to ignore the legs and breasts on the television screen. "How did you even get this stuff? It's really not for public! Not!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Emmett said it was like something called a soap opera!" And they were still-- "Girls do that?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was now trying to smother himself with a pillow. "It's not mine!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I swear, I didn't know..." He glanced at the screen and even his ears when red. "...that was what it was.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Of course I do. Don't you?" Chuck asked. What was with kids these days? Chuck's been watching porn since the fifth grade.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, of course it's a button. Haven't you used a remote before?" asked Harper.

She was still getting used to the "people from other worlds" issues.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Of course not!" Why would anyone be daft enough to do watch this in public? Or private, even? "You people watch this all the time?"
