Fifth Floor Common Room; Wednesday Evening [ 12/01 ].

Ariel didn't know how it got started; Ariel didn't know where it came from.

But Ariel might have been a little bit in love.

She had been in the kitchenette, trying to decide what to put on a sandwich for lunch (so far, it was lettuce, ketchup, and bacon on wheat), when the television clicked itself on and the magic began.

It was...

INCREDIBLE. Even better, it didn't stop. It just kept playing, and playing, and Ariel knew, somehow, it wasn't right, but she just could not get enough of it. There may have been some bouncing on the couch and some dancing, and eventually singing along, and Ariel desperately wanted to go and see if they carried whatever Giga Puddi was at the general store, but she couldn't bear to leave it.

The sandwich was long forgotten. There was only Puddi.

[[ I'd like to dedicate this oh-so-open and special post to 4chan. 11/30/10. NEVER FORGET. ]]

"Why can't you get it?" Bruce asked.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Because I want to watch the ad," Ariel said, nodding to the screen.

Obviously.

Forget that she'd watched it probably fifty times already.

"How long have you been watching it?" Bruce asked.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"...it came on when I was making a sandwich for dinner," Ariel answered, without really answering.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"How long ago was that?" Bruce asked, sticking to his question.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"...um."

Ariel actually couldn't remember so she had to check the clock.

"Ten minutes ago?"

It was actually a bit more, but Bruce didn't need to know that.

"Ten minutes with this song by yourself and you didn't run screaming from the room? You're stronger than I am," Bruce said.

Ariel briefly wondered if Bruce was trying to distract her from getting him to see if the store had Giga pudding, but then she decided she'd just take the compliment and smiled.

"Thanks," she said, "but not really. I like it! You don't think it's catchy?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"As catchy as a virus, maybe," Bruce mused.

Oh, wordplay.

"That wasn't a joke, now, was it, Bruce?" asked Ariel, with a playful little smirk.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I joke sometimes. It's usually just very dry humor," Bruce said.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

...Ariel wasn't sure if that was another joke, because, considering who he was talking to, it could have been.

"I like when you make a joke," she offered. She'd always been a fan of dryness, after all...
