Third floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[notmyownage]

Claudia had no classes. She had no work. She was waiting to hear back from some experts in regards to the whole Joshua question, and she had no current projects in regards to building, experimenting, or overclocking anything.

She was (god help us all) bored.

So here she was, in the common room, sacked out on the couch and watching a movie about bouncing puppets and a rock star who stuffed his pants.

When Jonas wandered into the common room, his greeting was forgotten in lieu of the strange, colorful movie playing on the television. He stared for a few moments before glancing at Claudia.

"Those pants are very tight," he observed about the man with the large hair.

[notmyownage]

Claudia grinned. "Damn right they are. And this movie's supposed to be for kids."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't that frighten kids if they didn't know what it was?" Jonas wondered, squinting at the television.

[notmyownage]

"Well . . . I'm pretty sure I was never afraid of a guy who stuffs his pants. . . ."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

Jonas didn't exactly mean that but explaining would have been embarrassing. Instead, he shook his head. "He's the villain, I'm assuming?"

[Forgive me if I disappear, sudden storms are just rolling on in.]

[notmyownage]

"Either that or the love interest. It's a little hard to keep track."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"Love interest for the dark haired girl?" Jonas wondered, glancing at the television screen again. It was either her or one of the goblin things.

[notmyownage]

"He's totally in love with her. I'm not sure if she loves him back, yet."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"He looks a little old for her," Jonas observed. "If he's in love with her, obviously it doesn't bother him but she might have an issue."

[notmyownage]

"Yeah, it's a little creepy. Especially considering he totally, like, stole her brother to get her to come to his crazy puppet world."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"What's he going to use her brother for?" Jonas wondered. "Leverage?"

[notmyownage]

"Well, the puppets are, like, boogie men. So they might want to eat him. Or the brother's supposed to be the heir to the throne of boogie men."

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"This movie...makes little sense," Jonas admitted with a shake of his head, "but it's interesting to watch. We didn't have puppets where I'm from."

[notmyownage]

"What do you have where you're from?"

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

Jonas paused for a moment. "We have books. And families spent nights talking to each other. That...was about it."

Cloud had stopped over the common room, marveling himself at the lack of people there. Somehow, he still preferred when there wasn't many others to interact with. He was weird like that.

But what was weirder was...that thing on the television.

"That...can't be right." It was more a statement than a comment, but he still turned at Claudia, as if he needed confirmation he wasn't seeing things.

[notmyownage]

"It's a fantasy movie. It's not supposed to be right."

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

Cloud waved a hand at her. "That's not what I- fantasy?" Really? Considering where they were living, fantasy was more of a common sight for Cloud.

[notmyownage]

[ooc: Labyrinth! Sorry 'bout that!]

"The puppets are supposed to be, like, spooky boogie men or something."

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

"That makes no sense." Truly, it didn't for him. "Ridiculous doesn't equal fantastical." Not always, at least.

[notmyownage]

"Yeah, but most of the world -- or the one that made the movie at least -- thinks those things don't exist. So it's, you know, fantastical."

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

"..."

How was he supposed to answer? "I guess you are...right? What is it about anyway?"

[notmyownage]

"The guy with the big hair kidnapped the dark haired girl's brother because he's hot for her."

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it was like half the movies he had seen there.

"He kind of looks like an owl." And the labyrinth made as much sense as a Mako mind trip...and he knew about those.

[notmyownage]

Claudia tilted her head. "You know, he really does. I hadn't noticed that before.'
