Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday Morning

[trigons_child]

Raven had had a much more restful sleep that night, thanks in no small part to the strength Professor Anakin had added to her shields. And he hadn't thrown her out of the school for using her powers on Chuck, so that lightened her mood as well. (And she hadn't listened to the radio and heard herself referred to as having a weird kink about doors.) She decided to test her shielding by venturing into the common room. Someone had left the TV on, and she found herself mesmerized by what was on, a strange show featuring a scruffy madman who had somehow schemed to turn the woman he loved into a mummy. He was currently fondling her bandage-wrapped form while her sister debated how to rescue her.

[ooc: No, really, I checked TV Guide, that's what's on right now.]

"It's never too early for death and weird love stories and crazy-men with necrophilia kinks," she said cheerfully.

At least, that's what Ino was getting out of the movie. Weird, weird movie.

After a moment, Turtle shook her head. "No," she said, "no, I definitely think there's a too-early for that, but, hey, if that's what gets you going in the morning..."

She was still taking a seat in a chair with her cereal.

"I mean, whatever just happened to mindless cartoons in the morning, instead? Maybe some badly dubbed anime if you still need a certain quotient of weird."

Ino shrugged. "You mean this isn't what's usually on?" she asked. "I don't really watch television much."

And she didn't really consider it early either, right now.

Turtle shrugged. "I usually just put it on cartoon," she said, "or the news. In fact, if there's a commercial break, I wonder if I could convince anyone toward a quick channel change, see how the market's doing so far today."

"But see, that's less enthralling for... most of the common room, I'm guessing," Ino pointed out. "So you might have better luck with a cartoon."

"Less enthralling, sure," Turtle shrugged, "but not as important. It could do some good for people to be more informed on what's going on in the world."

[intraspective]

"Why?" Ino asked with wide guileless eyes.

Okay, Ino knew why. She just liked being a pain.

"Because it's just stupid and boring to just close yourself off from what's going on in the world," Turtle said, with a simple shrug. "Especially boring."
