fourth floor common room | evening | saturday | november 28

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.

//I wouldn't know the difference between any of them, myself. I suppose I could learn, but there doesn't seem much of a point in bothering. I'm more interested in records than film, after all.//

Okay, so he could make an exception for horror movies, perhaps.

"I love movies, but I'm pretty sure you'd make fun of my taste," Didi said. "I like Disney. And musicals. Happy stuff."

//Musicals, I have no complaint about,// Jono decided. //Though yer won't catch me singin' in th'rain or anything of the like. And somehow, th'rest doesn't surprise me, much.//

Yes, Jono was not surprised that Death liked happy things.

"My boyfriend thinks I'm predictable," Didi said in mock sorrow. "Great. Now I'm going to go and rent some foreign movie about people with cancer to impress you."

[furnaceface]

//Impress, or depress? That sounds like a bloody bleak movie choice, luv.//

The concept of death didn't bother Jono so much. The process of dying, on the other hand, seemed decidedly less like something he wanted to dwell on too much.

//I vote yer stick to little rabbits and happy birds singin' in th'forests with whatever princess it is wot sings with happy birds.//

All of them. Ever.

"... I think that's all of them, Jono," Didi commented wisely. "Sometimes they change and it's happy bunnies. Or happy elves."

[furnaceface]

//Or little deer who've just lost their mothers, or somesuch?//

Jono was not terribly well-versed in Disney movies involving princesses, no.

"I don't think I've ever seen the little orphaned deer sing," Didi said. "Maybe that's the next movie."

[furnaceface]

//They can come here to film it,// Jono mused. //Have yer seen th'little green things out in th'preserve, yet?//

They were tiny! And green! And kind of cutesy already.

"I have!" Didi said. "I go for walks sometimes, y'know? They're hard to see, but I've spotted a couple. I'm surprised no one keeps them as pets."

//I suppose they'd have to be pretty rare. I've never heard of such a thing before I found myself here,// Jono pointed out, drumming his fingers against the top of the couch in thought. //I don't think there'd be space for one in a dorm room, and there's a good bet that nobody off the island knows they exist.//
