2nd Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

So it turned out there was a whole channel dedicated to cheesy horror movies. It might not be Halloween time anymore but Isaac was always up for ragging on cheesy flicks about killer clowns. He even popped some popcorn for the occasion.

He hoped one of the clowns killed somebody with balloon animals. That'd be hilarious.

Flick's trip into town hadn't been that fruitful but he'd come back with a few things that he figured he could sell in a few days.

He was actually going through one of the wallets when he stopped in the doorway of the common room. He'd seen Isaac from the corner of his eye and decided to stop for a bit.

"Please tell me that's not a Christmas movie you're watching," he said, almost pleading. Flick still wasn't over that whole thing.

"Why would there be demented clowns in Christmas movies?" he asked.

[flickofthewrist]

"Because this place hates me," Flick said, shrugging. It seemed like the most logical answers. "There are Christmas horror movies out there. Santa going nuts and killing everyone and nobody gets their toys for Christmas."

"Ever seen the one where the killer attacks the sorority girls during Christmas?" Isaac asked. "It's a good one."

[flickofthewrist]

"Apparently, I've missed out on some pretty good Christmas offerings," Flick said, sliding the stolen wallet into his pocket and taking a look at the movie. "Still a crappy holiday but movies like that could redeem it somewhat."

"Are you one of those people that get mad when the mall decorates for Christmas in October?" Isaac asked, offering the bowl of popcorn to Flick.

[flickofthewrist]

"I don't get mad," Flick said, taking a seat and a handful of popcorn. "I don't care all that much. I just hate the holiday itself. It's a money making machine disguised as a season of love and giving."

"But the food's good." Isaac didn't ever receive much in the way of gifts around Christmas so it wasn't his first priority there.

[flickofthewrist]

"The food good's when it's gonna be your last meal too," Flick pointed out cynically. "Though, that's more of a reason to like the holiday than you telling me you wanted to spread joy and love and charity around."

The smell of the popcorn brought Cecil peeking in after rehearsal. He cocked his head at the TV for a minute, then plopped down on the couch. "Movie or news?"

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"Movie," Isaac answered. "I wouldn't be this relaxed if clowns were really invading."

[voiceoverdue]

"It could be the international news," Cecil pointed out. "Then again, it'd probably still be pretty creepy."

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"No kidding," he said. "Popcorn?"

[voiceoverdue]

"Thanks!" Cecil grabbed a handful.

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"I don't think we've met before," he said. "I'm Isaac."

[voiceoverdue]

"Oh! Hi, I'm Cecil." Cecil grinned at him. "I live a few doors down. I just started this semester."

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"Same here," he said. "Interesting place, isn't it?"

[seveninchmotto]

"... What is that?"

Yes, Isabelle was side-eyeing the TV as soon as she was in the door. Except it was really less side-eying and more just straight-on frowning.

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"A movie about killer clowns," Isaac said oh so helpfully. "Unless you were talking about the popcorn."

[seveninchmotto]

Isabelle rolled her eyes. "I know popcorn." Funnily enough, she knew most food-related mundane things. "But killer clowns? Really?"

Mundies were weird.

"It's a cinematic masterpiece," he lied. "I've already seen a clown kill a teenage girl by suffocating her with cotton candy."

[seveninchmotto]

"That wouldn't even work."

Maybe she shouldn't have said that like it was somehow an affront to her pride in her job, but it was too late to worry about that now.

"Is it really a cinematic masterpiece?"

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

Isaac chuckled and shook his head. "No, it's awful. But hilarious."

[seveninchmotto]

Isabelle looked like she was doubting that. She came into the room and headed for the couch, anyway. "I don't know if I buy that. I think I have to investigate."

[graveyardwolf.livejournal.com]

"You should," he said, holding out the bowl of popcorn to her. "You should also eat while you investigate."
