2nd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Needing lots of room in order to work, Jean had commandeered a common room for great high school politics justice.

One needed space in order to make a bunch of posters telling people to vote for her. Ooo! Glitter! They needed to have glitter on them too.

But only a classy amount. Nothing gaudy.

[[Open common room is so very open]]

Hayley pointed over at the TV in the common room. "That," she said. "It plays shows and things."

Azula looked in the direction she was pointing. "But it is just a box."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"It's a special box," Hayley said. "Honest."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"How could it be special?" Azula considered this TV, "is it a weapon? Does it explode?"

It would be fun if it did explode.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Well, I guess it could explode," Hayley said. "If you tried."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

She could. But then there were restrictions. Tch.

"Other than the possibilities of making it go up in flames what exactly do you find so fascinating about this teevee?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it shows things, like I said," Hayley said. "Movies and shows and bands and everything."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Movies?" Azula prompted. It seemed she had a lot to learn about this world.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, they're like plays, only they've already been put on in front of a camera," Hayley said.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

She was about to ask what a camera was but she was beginning to tire repeating words. She was not a reptile bird.

"Show me what a movie is and I'll figure it out from there."

"You want me to go switch on the TV? I can do that, no problem," Hayley said. She hurried over to the TV and did exactly like she said, switching it on.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Ye--" she started to retort but Hayley had hurried over and switched on the teevee and Azula stared. The images were not stationary, it even had sound.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley pointed. "See! Moving pictures."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"They are moving and speakingand the colors..." she moved to take a closer look. "How fascinating."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Amazin', isn't it?" Hayley said. "What'll they think of next?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"And this is done, you say, with cameras?" Azula reached out to poke the teevee.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Haley said. "Really big ones."

She wasn't hip to new technology.

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Azula spread her arms. "This big?"

Unfortunately, so was Azula.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley nodded. "That big, yeah."

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"I must see one, do you think the school has a camera?"

Won't they be surprised when they see a camera.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Hayley said. "I mean, schools in my time didn't have 'em, but maybe they do now?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"It is a possibility," she looked at Hayley, "do you want to join me in a hunt for this device?"

It wasn't really a question. She expected the answer to be 'yes'.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"OH, sure!" Hayley said. "When are we gonna go?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Wednesday," Azula decided.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Wednesday?" Hayley said. Her tone was a little questioning. She'd made plans for Wednesday, but she didn't want to disappoint her friend. "Maybe late, so we can do it all secret-like?"
