Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Toby'd gone out for pizza and had come back with... several pizzas. So, naturally, he did what was traditional in these situations and headed for the common room.

Flipping through the channels in search of something good resulted in stumbling across some sort of... live feed. Toby wasn't sure exactly what was going on, except that it seemed to involve someone playing a video game? Possibly? It was entertaining, at least.

Once again, if Sia wasn't on the third floor, she was on the fifth.

And eyeing the TV. This happened a lot. "What's this?"

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"I'm... not entirely sure?" Toby admitted. "Some sort of marathon, I think."

[notconflicted]

"I had no idea they televised those things," Sia admitted, but she found a seat anyway. Apparently not knowing what was going on on something wouldn't stop her from trying it.

"Well, they do when they're raising money," Toby explained. "Also there seems to be something about performing ridiculous challenges for money."

[notconflicted]

"Do they think people will pay more if it's something ridiculous?" she wondered.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Don't people usually?" Toby said, eyebrow raised. One thing that telepathy had taught him was that, yes, many people did enjoy watching others make fools of themselves, even if they'd never admit it out loud.

[notconflicted]

"I've no idea. That's why I have to ask," Sia said with a bit of a shrug. "If I were going to give money to a charity, I'd do it because I believed in it, not because someone was doing something stupid."

Sia was probably not a big supporter of any 5K's, either.

"And, see, if ever there was proof of the fact that you're not from around here, that'd probably be it."

[notconflicted]

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Personally she thought it was a good thing, but call her curious.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"I'd go with good." It's... possible he wasn't fond of many places (... on Earth anyway) that weren't Fandom.

[notconflicted]

"Correct answer," Sia said, almost smiling.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Thought that's what you'd say." Toby smirked. "Though Fandom's not so bad, I guess."

Sometimes the smell of free pizza was too alluring to pass up.

"Hey. You sharing?" Richie might grab a piece and run if the answer was no but he was pretty sure this much pizza was always for sharing around here.

"And what is going on there?" He waved a hand at the TV.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Toby managed to stop himself from commenting that Richie didn't need to do a grab and run, and just waved to the boxes. "Go ahead, man. And- I think they're playing a video game? For charity?" As you do.

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"That's a thing people do now?" That was just weird. But way more interesting than the red kettles with the stupid bells. "Weird."

He picked up a slice and grinned. "Thanks."

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"No problem, dude. It's more entertaining than being guilted into throwing money in a pot, am I right?"

...Not that he'd ever done such a thing. Actually, he'd probably been on the receiving end of that money. Possibly not through official channels.

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"I hate those bells," Richie said. "Super annoying especially when they get the little kids to stand there and look sad at you." It wasn't like he'd ever had any money to throw in there anyway but that never stopped the glaring or the guilt trips.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Right?" Toby rolled his eyes. "But hey, none of that in Fandom. Also a plus."

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"Probably shouldn't say things like that out loud," Richie said. "Or we'll wake up tomorrow surrounded by bells and kettles begging for cash."

Richie, stop giving the island ideas. Just stop.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"You realize saying those things out loud like exponentially increases the liklihood of them occuring?"

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"So we're pretty much doomed now, right?"

Richie would just drown his sorrows in pizza. Or smother them with it because that made a little more sense.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"You've doomed us all," Toby deadpanned.

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"Damn," Richie sighed. "And here I'd gone a whole week without dooming anything."

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"One day you'll manage, I'm sure." Toby said gravely. "But today is not that day."

[richieryan.livejournal.com]

"It's a goal." Richie nodded solemnly. "Everyone's always been telling me I needed goals and ambition."
