5th Floor Common Room, Wednesday night

Jessica was in a learning-while-being-entertained mood, so she settled into the common room and turned on the big miniseries about the great war. Not the Great War, capital letters. No, no, the Pig War, which was probably the greatest war possible. There weren't even any human casualties! Too bad about the pig, though.

So she took a seat, grabbed her Chinese delivery, and started watching, while completely ignoring a recent flurry of texts from certain people who really wanted to blow up some crime. Just ignore the buzzing, Jessica. Ignore it and it would go away eventually.

[OOC: Open because why not take advantage of the one day this week I'll actually be home at this time?]

"...Do I want to know?"

No. No, he did not.

"Infotainment about the greatest, weirdest war that was never really fought," Jessica said. "Is that something you want to know more about"
abitlowkey: (eager like a puppy)

"With pigs?"

Blame Peter Porker, Loki.

"Just one pig, really," Jessica said. "Who tragically gave its life."
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-05-29 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Did it end with a roast?" Loki asked thoughtfully. Because c'mon.

"If only," Jessica sighed. "At the very least some bacon for the troops would have been nice."
abitlowkey: (I'm not calling you dumb but...)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-05-29 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Then I must say that I feel the sacrifice is in vain."

Because of bacon.

"I wish I could argue with that," Jessica said. "But at least the situation was entertaining enough to amuse history nerds all these years later. It's not bacon, but it's something."
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

Well, when given the choice between the two of them...

"I would have gone with bacon."

Because he was evil.

"I don't know why, but I don't find that surprising," Jessica said.

She could sense your bacony evil, Loki.

"Do you not want to know?" Joker countered. "I mean, seriously, why is this not in the history books? This is awesome."
abitlowkey: (I'm not lying. About this. This time.)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-05-29 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
"About the escapades of a pig?"

It was no Beta Ray Bill. Or frog!Thor.

"The pig's just a catalyst. It's the people you want to watch. Because they're all being idiots."
abitlowkey: (I don't even... what)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-05-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Loki watched the screen for a moment longer. "I still fail to see the allure."

[identity profile] fly-so-serious.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Joker came into the common room to root through the cabinets for snacks, and the documentary sucked him in. "This... seriously happened?" he asked. "Like, really? Sheesh. Wonder how these people would feel to know that the line doesn't even exist anymore?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"They'd probably be more freaked out by the necromancy used to ask them their opinions," Jessica suggested like a smartass.

[identity profile] fly-so-serious.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, come on, why mess around with dark forbidden magic when we could ask 'em via Portalocity?" Joker countered. "...Unless it works by dark magic, too. I'm not entirely clear on that part."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure they'd think it was dark magic," Jessica said. "Either way, I'm happier with just watching people pretending to live it on TV. If they almost fought a war about a pig, I'd hate to see what they would do with something weird."

[identity profile] fly-so-serious.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"And I am not volunteering to be turned into bacon," Joker agreed. "Well, thank goodness this all got resolved peacefully, right? Otherwise, I'd feel kind of bad about how hilarious this all is."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-05-29 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Absolutely. Ramping up tensions over a pig is funny," Jessica said. Actually fighting over it is tragic."
