Fifth Floor Common Room Friday Night

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda had nachos, and had made her own dip out of cheese, chili sauce, and salsa. They were totally up for sharing. There was also booze that was for sharing, after Leda had gotten her cut.

And the SiFi channel was showing a fan film someone had made of Space Battles. A horror movie. She was intrigued.

She popped a pain killer for the still healing right hand, which was all bandaged up and settled back for some brainless entertainment.

[Open!]

"Hey Leda," Jennifer said, entering the common room. "Ooooh, what are you watching?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Space Battles: Army of Death." On the screen, the prison ship was docking at a seemingly abandoned space station, while a surprisingly good spooky rendition of the Space Battles theme played.

"...a sequel?" Jennifer said, sitting down. "I love the first movie."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Something called a fan film. I'm not sure what that means, but it seems pretty cool so far. I haven't actually seen the original."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Wow, that's a shame," Jennifer said. "...why are you watching a fan film of something you've not seen, though?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"We don't get a lot of movies in Bordertown, and when we do, sometimes the film or the projectors act funny. To be honest I just kinda wanted to watch a sci-fi horror movie and this was on."

The Imperial Troops were now searching the station, which was eerily deserted.

"Huh," Jennifer said. "Well, that's a benefit of being here, I guess. Less glitching, more movies."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda nodded. Here it was the people that glitched on you. "Yep. It's cause of the whole technology being unpredictable in Bordertown. Sometimes we'd get a movie, and it'd be supposed to be one thing, but the film would magically change to something else. And I even got the hang of the remote!" she said proudly. "Though I'm a bit confused as to why the eject button is on the remote, since you have to get up to get the tape or DVD anyway."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I guess just to save time?" Jennifer said. "So it can eject while you're getting up."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"That makes sense." Leda nodded. "So the original Space Battles is good?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Really good," Jennifer said. "I mean, only the first one is out in my time."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"You could get all the spoilers then."

Oh! Something had happened! The guy in the cool armor in the med lab had just turned around to confront something offscreen that resulted in abrupt music and a cut to another scene.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I've seen the other two," Jennifer said. "I watched them as soon as I could, when I found out I was in the future."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Are they good too? The guys in the fancy armor are the bad guys right?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Definitely the bad guys," Jennifer said. "The second one is the best."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"How many are there?"

She was amused by the fact that the bad guys were currently apparently being stalked by something horrific. But as yet unseen.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Three originals," Jennifer said. "There's some new ones that are supposed to take place before, they're not as good."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I've heard that happens a lot with sequels. Or, whatever ones that take place before are called."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Prequels, I think," Jennifer said. "They're... I don't know. They feel weird, I guess."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"How so?" Leda asked. "Do they like, contradict the originals?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Well, sort of," Jennifer said. "It's just the special effects are so great they don't... have the same feel as the old ones."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I could see how that could be a bit jarring. Specially if you watched them in order that they take place."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I can't even imagine that," Jennifer said. She shuddered a little. "I'll stick to my original Space Battles, I think."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"If I were to watch them all, should I watch them in the order they were made then?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Jennifer said. "Definitely. I'll even watch them with you, if you like."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"That'd be great, Kate. Do you own them?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I don't," Jennifer said. "But I should. I can pick them up this weekend."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"We can have an Astral Christmas party."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Perfect. Just name the time," Jennifer said.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Sunday afternoon?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Not good for me," Jennifer said, frowning a little. "Sorry. I usually stop in to visit Zack at work then."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, okay. Uhm...when is good for you?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"We could do it later on Sunday?" Jennifer said. "Unless you had plans."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Oh later on Sunday is good."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Perfect. I'll skip out on Fight Club," Jennifer decided.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"You mean you'd miss violence for me?" Leda teased.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"For Space Battles, at least," Jennifer said, smiling ruefully back.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"So Fight Club, is that just a place for sparring and stuff or is it heavy duty underground boxing?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Sparring and learning more," Jennifer said. "Not heavy duty. Well, as not heavy duty as I can get in a fiht."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"There many superpowered people in the club?"
