Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Late Morning.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley did not really intend to camp out on a couch and watch a marathon of Expose.

But that's totally what he was doing. He had a bag of Oreo cookies, and was basically doing the brainless munch and ogle watch thing. He'd welcome company, certainly.

Jeff poked his head in. It was the loud noises and the sound of food that did it, most likely. "What's on?"

"Expose (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Expos%C3%A9_(TV_series))," Hurley said. "The show about the crime solving strippers?" He grinned, he thought it might be Jeff's sort of thing.

Jeff grinned. Snickered, even. He gave it a happy, "Excellent," and very nearly bounced into the room. "The 21st century has all the best television," he said, "Except for when they do remakes. How high do they rank? Clothes-wise, I mean. Lack of."

"Teeny bikini," Hurley said. "Best we can hope for on broadcast TV, huh?" He held out the bag. "Oreo?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

He happily snagged an Oreo. "The United States in the 21st century, however," he started, thoughtfully, and took a seat, "Is a bit more disappointing in terms of television nudity."

"Dude, it's not even noon," Hurley said. "Little kids are watching TV right now. Not that, like, I'm opposed to the idea in general."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's the future," Jeff pointed out, sanely. "You'd think those kids would be grown up by now."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"There's always more kids, dude. That's... kinda what happens after the naked people," Hurley said.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Not if the naked people do it right," Jeff said.

Maybe a little plaintitively. He still remembered Trip Wexler, bane of his shins and shoulders. "But you'd think," he continued, bravely, "That things would get a bit... maturer with time."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Maybe in a lot of time," Hurley said. "But I can't imagine, like, as long as my mom is alive? That there'd be naked people on TV before noon."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps it's a way to keep the level of injury stable." Jeff sounded very thoughtful. "With mums about."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "It's for kids own good. Protecting them from getting hit in the back of the head."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"And winding up paralyzed in a desperate scramble to shut off the television before mum gets there."

"Dude, that'd so happen to me, too," Hurley said. "...dude, did you go on the cruise?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jeff said, although all he'd really done was sit around in his cabin, put on sunblock, and have lots of sex with his girlfriend.

Which, really, made it a very succesful vacation. "Took me about five days to get out, but I did get there."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, five days to get out? What, were you locked in your room?" Hurley said.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Sunblock," Jeff said, holding up a finger.

Then, after a pause, he added, grinning, "Girlfriend."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Ohhhhhh," Hurley said. He then, decided, that this was a time where he should hold up his hand for a high-five.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Jeff pretty enthusiastically high-fived him.

Then winced, because he was still just a little on the sunburned side. "...I shouldn't do that."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Heh," Hurley said. "Sorry dude. I don't really sunburn."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"I'm Welsh," Jeff said, because that answered everything, didn't I? "We're sort of like walking bonfires."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"So people can huddle around you for warmth in the winter?" Hurley joked.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Jeff's head turned towards Hurley. He looked completely serious. "Only if we have not been able to avoid the sun," he said.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Got it," Hurley said. "We'll try to keep you uncrispy, man."
