Second Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[wantstodirect]

Tony had a bag of popcorn and a bomb bottle of cola and was ready for the Halloween episode of Darkest Night. Tonight, Raymond Dark and James Taylor Grant would take a road trip to a farmstead to track down a mysterious killer - could it be the scarecrow?

(It could.)

"Ooooh, it's that show again," Hayley said, bounding into the common room.

"Great!"

[wantstodirect]

"Welcome back!" Tony smiled.

Dinah had remembered this at the last second, put on her Save the Night T-shirt, and headed to the Common Room with her own bottle of pop. "OOoooo! Halloween ep. Yes!" She grinned at Tony. "Anything we should know going into this one?"

"I guess you suckered me in, last time. Now I actually want to see more," Hayley said.

"Don't hang around scarecrows during Halloween season?" Tony suggested. "Although that might be the moral of the story."

[wantstodirect]

"I'm very sorry," Tony said, deadpan. "Popcorn?" He offered her the bag.

"I can't think why I'd hang around them during any season. They're boring. So are the cornfields. And the crows. And... I'm so glad I left Missouri." She grinned at him. "Did anything happen that made it past the outtakes, I mean?"

"Ooooh, what a gentleman," Hayley said, grabbing some. "Why thank you, sir."

"Save the Night?" Hayley said, tilting her head at Dinah.

[wantstodirect]

"Nothing I've heard of, but maybe we'll be surprised," Tony said.

"The show almost got canceled in between seasons one and two," Dinah told her, bouncing in place. "Then the fans had a big internet campaign to get it a lot of attention, and it got renewed! So they Saved the Night!"

"...how did that work?" Hayley said.

Really, no one had explained how the internet worked to her yet.

"Want some soda?" Tony reached out a hand and a clean cup flew from the the kitchen counter and smacked into his palm. He offered it to Hayley and gestured at the bottle of soda.

"...omigod how did you do that," Hayley said.

[wantstodirect]

Tony grinned. "Magic."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"That's amazing," Hayley said. "A girl could get jealous of a power like that."

[wantstodirect]

"It's pretty handy," Tony said. "It's the first spell I learned. You got any interesting powers?"

Hayley shook her head. "I'm just a girl," she said. "Nothing special about it."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Internet? All the computers connected together, people writing to each other?" Dinah checked. "Talking about the show?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Here's hoping." Dinah leaned back and threw popcorn in her mouth. "So what are you going as for Halloween?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"...if you say so," Hayley said. "I mean, I trust ya. But I don't understand."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Heh. Um. I'm not the right person to ask," Dinah said, reaching for the popcorn bowl and picking up a handful of popcorn with her TK. "But it's totally possible." Nom!

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"...you're magic too!" Hayley said, gasping. "No way!"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"MMmmph, mm?" Dinah swallowed and said, "Only sorta? Telekinesis. Uh, this is about the only thing I can do. Move stuff with my mind." Touch-telepathy, not something to bring up yet, no.

"That's pretty magical to me," Hayley said. "I can't do nothin' special. Well... unless you count standing on my head."
