Third Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening | 11/14

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

Peter was bored, restless, and that was a dangerous combination. He made a big mug of hot cocoa and found something on the TV that would try and keep him occupied.

What he found was an Expose marathon on Spike. He'd never seen the show before, but right now strippers who fought crime while led by Billy Dee Williams?

That was exactly what he wanted to watch.

Oh, teenage boys.

"What is that?" Kyle asked, his attention caught by the TV.

"Expose," Peter said, sipping from his mug. "It's either from a different universe or, comparatively, the future for me, but all I know is that it has scantily clad women who know kung fu."

Kyle took a seat. He didn't take his eyes off the TV. "That's a future to look forward to. What do they use their kung fu for?" Yes, he was that annoying kid that asked questions while you were trying to watch.

Peter didn't care. He wasn't watching for the plot or the dialog.

"Fighting crime or evil spies or something," Peter said. "Right now, all I care about is that they don't have to go anywhere cold."

"Fighting crime has a good uniform. They're pretty good," he added as an afterthought.

"No kidding," Peter said. "If I ever end up at a strip joint, now I really know not to mess with the dancers. They're all kung-fu masters."

"I never knew that was part of their vocational training, but self-defense does make sense when they're so vulnerable."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"You know..." Peter said, actually seriously considering that. "That makes a lot of sense. Now I kind of wish I wasn't joking. They probably have to deal with a lot of scum bags."

"That's why there's security," Kyle replied. He sounded as if he knew what he was talking about, which was strange on this topic. "I would guess," he added as an afterthought.

"Point," Peter said. "I've not really seen them outside of movies and TV, so I'm not actually a strip club expert."

He shrugged, then took another sip of his cocoa. "So, you caught by the doldrums of a lazy Sunday too, or was it the siren call of boobs on the TV that brought you in?"

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know they had a siren call," he replied lightly, then shook his head. "Need to get out of my head. I heard the TV on the way up to the 5th and thought I'd look in. Are Sundays supposed to be a special occasion for being lazy?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Google it sometime," Peter said. "Lazy Sunday. Won't regret it. What's wrong with your head? It looks pretty okay to me."

"Bad week. Not the kind where you almost end up dead, but the kind where something happens and you have to deal with it here and now and there's no way out of it and it gets you angry."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Wow," Peter said. "I had a pretty good week. No, scratch that, A really good week. But I've been there, too. I say... take solace in bad TV. There's nothing that helps you turn off your brain better."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"This is supposed to be bad TV?" The kung-fu strippers had made a good impression. "And thanks. Next week will be better."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"That's the right attitude," Peter said. "And yeah. I think most people think good TV has depth and real human drama. Right now, though... eh. Unless a girl comes here and gets offended, which is totally within her rights and I won't besmirch that at all, I'm keeping the channel here."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"No argument from me," Kyle said. "They're really good at that kung-fu."
