fourth floor common room | evening | saturday | november 28

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal knew that, technically, he should be spending his free time practicing so he wouldn't make a huge fool of himself when he finally fulfilled his requirements for losing his bet with Kate. Instead, he was sprawling in the common room, lights off, with a loud, action packed movie on the television. He'd ordered himself a pizza and decided that pretending that he didn't have humiliation in his future was a much better plan.

"Whatcha watchin'?" Hayley asked, wandering into the common room. "Is it good?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"No idea," he said, looking in her direction, "and so far. Just found it on television. It's got explosions so it's good enough for me."

A little later, Didi leaned over toward Hayley.

"Hi," she said, and waited.

Today was one of those days where Jono was going to pretend to be social, or at least something like it. With Jak off the island participating in that American holiday... thing... He'd been spending entirely too much time in his room, alone.

Brooding.

He quirked an eyebrow as he leaned over the back of the couch, eyeing the television. It seemed... loud, at the very least.

//Is it any good, mate?//

Hayley waved at Jono, you know, even though it was kind of dark. "Come, watch with us! The more the merrier."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

That sudden voice in his head startled Hannibal and he looked for the source. Once he found it and chalked it up to some of those powers he wished he had, he gave Jono a nod.

"Not gonna win any Oscars but it's has some merit," he said, snickering. "For one, the explosions are amazing."

Didi wandered in in search of food. She took a fruit salad cup and plopped herself on the couch near Jono.

"How many people have they blown up so far?" she asked amiably.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I lost count at fifteen," Hannibal admitted. "There's been a lot of group explosions. Lots of carnage."

[furnaceface]

//Bloody near everybody who hasn't been given a name, and most of th'ones who actually aren't extras as well,// Jono piped up, with a bit of a grin in his voice, there. //Not to worry, there's still a few bits left to th'city, so yer haven't missed all of the action just yet.//

It wasn't Raven's floor, but when she heard signs of life from the floor below, she walked down the stairs to see who else was around. She paused to stare at the TV. "Why are they blowing everything up?" she had to ask.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes, you just gotta make things go boom," Hannibal joked. "But really, this is a straight up action movie so things get blown up in lieu of serious acting."

[furnaceface]

//Because th'film is ridiculously lacking in plot, and they had to fill in the empty space with something, luv,// Jono mused, glancing over his shoulder at her and very nearly smirking.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Because it's a movie. Apparently they do that now. And they don't even sing!" Hayley said.

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"Does it have plot or just explosions?" Diana asked, walking in with Samuel in her arms.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"There's a plot," he answered. "It just sucks. The explosions are the best part."

[furnaceface]

//Weird gel,// Jono greeted, nodding faintly. //It wants to pretend there's a plot. I think I'm still watching mostly because there's nothing better to do.//

Which meant that yes, it was pretty much just explosions, and Jono was going to be a complete boy and watch for just that reason.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"It'd be real boring if it was just explosion after explosion," Hayley said. "Especially because no one is singing."

"Oh, no, is this scary or just loud?" Sookie asked just a touch fretfully as she wandered in, glancing at the television.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"It's just loud," Hannibal assured her. "I mean, if you hate explosions, it might be scary but there's not a lot of blood or flying body parts or anything."

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"Mostly loud so far." Diana offered. "And very firey." Samuel gave Diana a look that summarized his opinion of her bastardization of the English language.

[furnaceface]

//Loud,// Jono agreed, because ... why not? Everyone else was clarifying it, he might as well hop onto that bandwagon. //The explosions look real enough, actually.//

He'd know.

//Not terrible just yet. Th'worst bits are the pieced-together attempts at a romance, so far as I can gather.//

Yakko ran into the common room and suddenly stopped.

"It's that time again!" After a brief pause, he continued, as if addressing someone who wasn't there. "No, it's time to learn the day's lesson! And to find out what it is, we turn to... The Wheel of Morality!" Yakko motioned towards the door, where a large wheel with 'The Wheel of Morality' written on it in huge letters drifted in.

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn," Yakko recited as he spun the wheel. "Tell us the lesson that we should learn." As the spinning wheel slowed down and landed on the number 4, a sheet of paper was printed from a slot on the side. Yakko went to his next line as he grabbed the sheet of paper. "Moral Number Four. And the moral of today's story is... The ears of a cricket are located on the front legs, just below the knee."

Yakko shrugged, darted out of the room, and the wheel disappeared out into the hallway a moment later.

Diana blinked. "When am I ever going to need to know this?"

It had taken Mat the better part of the week to get out from his closet, and then to get the door to his dorm room open.

Hush, these things are very difficult when you are a fox. So he was quite pleased with himself when he finally arrived in a room full of people. He hoped that by looking Quite Pathetic, someone would feed him.

Hannibal was just going to stare at the animal. For a minute, he thought it was Angela but she'd looked more adorable.

"Hey there," he greeted, trying not to laugh. "Where'd you come from?"

Because the fox could talk.

On the hunt for entertainment, Mirax took one look at the TV and said, "I can deal with explosions."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"That seems to be a common sentiment tonight," Hannibal said, giving her a wave. "Explosions are the name of any Saturday night game."

Sam hadn't been coming out of his room much over the last few weeks, and he was sane enough to know that that wasn't healthy, as much as he might prefer it. When he headed up to the common room, he was surprised to see so many people, but he forced himself to go in and at least see what was on the TV.

"Do they really expect people to believe they could blow things up like that without blowing themselves up?" he asked.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"That's the point of a movie, Sam," Hannibal said, waving in greeting. "The implausible becomes plausible and we all learn a valuable lesson about hassling the janitor in our building because he could be a badass undercover operative."
