Third Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

So, Kathy's grand plan to go trick-or-treating in the dorms to meet people had kind of been a bust, but an important discovery had been made nevertheless: Theo had never seen Mister What.

Not a single episode. Hadn't even heard of the show. On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary, even!

The very idea was shocking, but Kathy was there to make it right. She couldn't let her favorite wallflower buddy continue to wallow in cultural ignorance forever! So, she'd hooked up her laptop to the TV in the third floor common room, where she had every episode from the new run (and a bunch of the old) torrented TOTALLY LEGALLY OBTAINED on her external hard drive.

The amount of food she'd gotten from the Chinese place in town was ridiculous, but the delivery guy hadn't seemed too fussed about it and the price was about what she'd figured, so she just shrugged and hauled it up, spreading it on the counter. Hopefully the smell of General Tso's Chicken and the distinctive noise of Mister What's time and space machine would lure other people to coming around, too.

[For one, but totally open! Food and episodes completely moddable]

"Would you ever consider going some day if the opportunity came about?" Theo asked, curious.

Evan balked for a moment at that one.

"I... I'm not sure," he admitted, realizing he'd never really given that question much thought. "I don't think I'd want to risk going there and getting mixed up in my... my ancestor's trouble. We have a kind of distinctive family resemblance."

To say the least.

"...you could go in disguise?" Theo suggested, trying to be helpful.

[genesishero]

"Disguise?" That... didn't sound like it would work out so well, really. "Like a mask?"

Because Evan wasn't going to paint himself a different skin color just to visit Egypt. Ever.

"Mask. Wig. Sunglasses. Fake mustache. Big hat." Theo shrugged. "They can do some really cool stuff with costumes and stuff these days. I mean, it might be a lot to go through just for a visit to another country but still. If you ever really wanna go..."

[genesishero]

"If I ever really want to go," Evan echoed, blinking, "I'll... figure something out, I guess."

He'd probably look really weird with a fake mustache.

"And my suggestion would be mullet for a wig," Theo joked, smiling.

[genesishero]

Evan would look ridiculous with a mullet. He pulled off the emo-kid bangs way better.

"Maybe not the mullet," he laughed, shaking his head a little. "I'm pretty sure that's actually an awful idea."

[theoplustwo.livejournal.com]

"No, it's a great idea!" Theo enthused, laughing. "You'd be very dashing."

[genesishero]

"I'd look like Billy Ray Cyrus," Evan protested, burying his face in his hands and trying not to laugh harder. "That would be terrible!"

[theoplustwo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Billy Ray Cyrus was a cool guy!" Theo had no idea how cool Billy Ray Cyrus was, honestly. "You could be cool too!"

[genesishero]

"Me and my achey, breaky heart?"

No Evan, don't do it!

[theoplustwo.livejournal.com]

"You just don't think you'd understand?"

Theo didn't even know how he knew the words to this song!

[genesishero]

"I might blow up and--"

...

Actually, Evan didn't like that line.

"Ooooooh."

Theo didn't even try to go on. He just started laughing and clapped his hands.

"That's evidence the mullet is the thing for you right there."
