Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Afternoon

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

With his whole one class overwith for the day, Toby decided hanging out in the common room was a productive use of his time.

Rummaging through the cupboards, he came up with some microwave popcorn and a bag of Smarties (the chocolate Nestle kind, not the weird chalky American kind). Once the popcorn was popped, he dumped it in a bowl and mixed in the Smarties before flopping down to channel-flip.

Boring, boring, boring.... I Kissed A Velociraptor And I Liked It? Oh yeah. That totally looked like it was worth watching.

[ooc: I've been wanting to use this fake-movie in a CR post for weeks now. DON'T JUDGE ME.]

And here Toby had been about to give in to the puppy dino eyes, because it was becoming clear that Old Lace wasn't going to start chewing on any of his limbs or anything.

He gave the new and significantly less startling arrival a smile and briefly considered pointing out that it really wasn't morning anymore. Instead he just went with a much more general: "Hey," and held out the popcorn bowl. "Popcorn?"

"Thanks," Gert said, taking a handful. After a moment of eyeing the screen, she nodded toward Old Lace and hypothesized, "My guess is she heard the noises and thought the TV was a potential friend for her."

Toby looked at the screen and back at Old Lace. "I hope she wasn't too disappointed," he commented. "She seems, um. Nice." Not a word he'd usually associate with dinosaurs, but then she'd been giving him sad-eyes and not chewing his arm off, so.

Gert shrugged. "She doesn't eat a whole lot of people, so by dinosaur standards..."

That was a joke.

Toby snickered. "Not that I actually know of anyone who ever got mauled by a dinosaur," he said thoughtfully. "Or who made out for one, for that matter," he added, tilting his head at the screen quizzically. "I totally thought the kissing bit in the title was a joke. Guess not."

"...What is this movie rated?"

It seemed like a valid question.

"14A," Toby shared, after checking. "How does that even- what?" seriously that girl should not have had a face left after that.
