Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

Jessica needed a few hours of down time not spent reading reports. And so she trekked out to the common room for the joys of television! That was probably a bad idea. The only things on were America's Got Talent, I Wanna Marry Harry, something that seemed like a Latverian knockoff called I've Got Liftoff For Kristoff, and a really dumb-looking movie called Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die.

She didn't know what was going on in the movie, but it didn't involve any Royal Joe Millionaire situations or talent competitions, so she was in. With popcorn. Because the movie was dumb and that was required.

[OOC: Open CR! And yes, I did look at a list of Troy McClure movies and picked my favorite title.]

Loki wrinkled his nose at that. "He looks as though he might be made of marshmallow."

"Sure, but anyone can be a hero!" Rapunzel said enthusiastically. "It's not about what's on the outside."

No, it's at least a little bit about that.
abitlowkey: (Loki)

Loki gave her a look like he was trying to see if this was a joke. "Yes, I suppose one might say that."

"I mean, you could be a hero, I could be a hero, that guy could be a hero," Rapunzel said, pointing at some random extra. "It's about your character! So that marshmallow guy can be our hero. That's fine. What else is implausible?"
abitlowkey: (smiiiiirk)

"No, I believe that man will die, but your hopefulness is intriguing," Loki replied. "Cars do not explode from being touched. I gather it takes more force for that to happen. Or lightning."

"Maybe he has powers," Rapunzel said simply, shrugging. "Maybe he has explodey hand powers. What then?"

Rapunzel maybe had a different definition of 'plausible' than most people.
abitlowkey: (eager like a puppy)

"Then he is a mutant," Loki replied with a serious nod. "Or possibly an alien!"

[identity profile] likes-ducklings.livejournal.com 2014-06-11 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Or maybe he was just born special," Rapunzel added, way too defensively. "In any case, still not implausible."
abitlowkey: (Oh. Oh dear)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"You are very set on this," Loki remarked.

"I like to see people succeed," Rapunzel said with a bright smile. "Marshmallow man deserves his day in the sun, in his special movie!"
abitlowkey: (smile!)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Then we will hope he becomes no more mushy in that spotlight like a real marshmallow!"

[identity profile] likes-ducklings.livejournal.com 2014-06-11 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I believe in him, and his non-mushiness," Rapunzel said solemnly, though she was trying not to laugh. "Do you?"
abitlowkey: (god of chaos for a reeeeason)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"I believe that you believe in him," Loki replied kindly.

[identity profile] likes-ducklings.livejournal.com 2014-06-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Why don't you believe in him?" Rapunzel asked, frowning. "That's sad."
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Loki offered her a little pat on the hand. "He would not want me to believe in him. I can assure you of that."

[identity profile] likes-ducklings.livejournal.com 2014-06-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"But I want you to believe in him," Rapunzel tried, because.
abitlowkey: (shit I read this in a book)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Because Rapunzel.

"There are many things in life which we want. Some we must strive to achieve and some we must accept as beyond our reach."

[identity profile] likes-ducklings.livejournal.com 2014-06-11 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Why do I have to accept this, though?" Rapunzel reasoned. "It's really easy to fix. All it takes is a little bit of believing on your part!"
abitlowkey: (not afraid of the horrible magic)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2014-06-11 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Accept that you cannot change the hearts of others." Without some terrible magic. Or time travel.
