Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday Afternoon [4/19]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley was camped out onto a couch, eating from a bowl of popcorn as he watched the very special Expose marathon on TV.

Hey, he was a dude. It was okay to do this sort of thing from time to time.

[ooc; Very, very open, please.]

Harry had completely failed at not being a hermit for weeks now. It was, he decided, probably time to do something about that. He wasn't about to get too crazy though. He was just walking down the hall towards the smell of the popcorn.

"Quality entertainment?" He grinned from the doorway.

Hurley looked over and grinned at Harry. "I wouldn't say that, exactly."

"Quality wardrobe department," Harry suggested. "Very important in the television industry." Because wizards who make electronics of all sorts go kablooey on a regular basis are experts in this sort of thing.

"Dude, I don't even try to justify watching this," Hurley said. "All I know is, here I don't have to worry about my mom coming in and shouting at me for it."

Penelope might have been searching for Hurley and felt the common room should be checked first. She was pleasantly surprised to see him and she stepped over to the couch, grinning down at him. "Hello, Hurley."

Harry nodded. "I don't judge. I just don't watch much of anything. That way nothing blows up."

Hurley looked up and smiled. "Oh, hey Penelope," he said. "Want some popcorn?"

Perhaps popcorn would distract Penelope from the fact he was watching a show about strippers who fight crime.

"...You don't like watching things blow up?" Hurley said, not catching Harry's drift.

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

She sat down, still grinning, and took some of the offered popcorn. "Thank you. How are you today?"

It might distract her for the moment, yes.

"I'm good," Hurley said. "Had a quiet couple of days."

"I don't like watching the TV blow up," Harry clarified. "Or die in a sad flickering way. Or randomly get stuck on the all Swedish all the time channel, and then die a sad little death after I've learned all there is to know about meatballs."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Me too," she nodded, enjoying the popcorn. "We should get out more, shouldn't we?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...do you do stuff to the TV?" Hurley said.

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"Gadgets," Harry said solemnly,"do not like wizards much. Or at all. Which I guess would come in handy if I needed to get rid of security cameras during a life of crime, but mostly it's kinda annoying. It isn't so bad on the island. Mostly."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I guess?" Hurley said. "I mean, I get out and stuff. Sometimes."

"So, you can't even use a microwave?" Hurley said.

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"It's safer for the microwave if I don't," Harry said. "Safer for the school too, probably."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"I meant, maybe we could do something together," she looked at him. "I mean, if you want. I mean..." Embarrassed, she then looked to the TV.

Blink.

"What is this show?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude. So, like, you don't even get to eat hot pockets?" Hurley said.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Expose," Hurley said. "It's, uhhh, about women who fight crime and stuff."

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"No Hot Pockets," Harry confirmed. "I am a Spaghettios on the stovetop sort of guy."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude. I love hot pockets," Hurley said. "I couldn't do that."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Oh," she replied. "Is it... um, good?"

Penelope wasn't one to judge one's taste in television shows.

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"Not even in exchange for the fame and fortune wizardry provides?" Fame and fortune. Yup. Like people thinking you're crazy and occasionally finding a quarter in the street.

"I... I enjoy it," Hurley said. This was a little awkward. "But if you want to change the channel, that's cool."
