4th floor common room- Wednesday after classes

[stacyexperiment]

Yesterday's class had gotten pretty ridiculous, and because Gwen was a totally rational person who felt like she should have been granted sainthood somewhere around hour five of the discussion, today there was gonna be a party.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! There'd been hastily-photocopied flyers put up around the dorms this morning to advertise (and warn anyone who didn't want to stumble into it). Gwen had taken advantage of the pizza place's weird fixation on giving extra food and so there was plenty in the kitchen, there were (non-alcoholic) drinks and popcorn, and there was nothing but moddable dirty movies on the TV. There was plenty of room, come and stay as long as you want!

That's what she said.

(But don't actually do that, ew.)


[Open, and this is me trying to keep your flists clean at work! Can't guarantee the comments will be worksafe, though. You can miss the flyers if you'd like to innocently stumble in anyway, and also feel free to bring your own movies.]

"So tans are sexy?" Eleanor asked. Dammit.

She set down the notebook with a sigh. "None of this matters," she said. "I could list off the details for days, and you'd shrug and agree with me, and none of that even approaches why."

Joker winced at the question, and too a few moments to collect his thoughts. While he was thinking, he replied with "Tans are sexy. And so is alabaster skin. It depends on who you are and what you like."

After a few more moments, he looked up at her. "Okay. So, I'm guessing that you're not asking why people watch porn. Kinda hope you've figured that out for yourself by now. But... me? I'm not sure what to tell you. There's no reason to collect it the way I do. I've got way more than I could ever hope to watch, and I can just stream some online whenever I want, instead of saving and keeping it. So... I guess it's kind of an obsession? Like, there's a good chunk of it that's not about the porn itself, it's about the collecting? When you're twelve, being the kid with all the porn is just one more way to make people think you're cool. Now... It's starting to seem a little weird."

"But you keep doing it," she said. "And you watch it and you fantasize about it and you think about those girls and you wish --"

She cut herself off, abruptly.

"No," Joker answered softly. "No, I don't think about those girls, not really, not the way you're thinking, and I definitely don't wish."

He stared at his hands a moment. "I don't know if that helps? ...And maybe that's also part of why Kathy and I were talking past each other. I just... I don't think it's realistic, I don't want to be part of it, I don't imagine myself in the video or with the actors... I just watch it because it turns me on to watch it. Because sex is sexy."

"But it isn't," Eleanor said, gesturing at the screen. "Or else maybe I'm broken. Because I look at this and it looks silly, and flat, and dull. He's pushing himself into her. They zoom in on it. It's lifeless."

Joker looked at the screen and shrugged. "Yeah, well, I usually fast-forward through the boring parts. But... okay, so this one isn't doing it for you. I will find you porn you will like."

He looked down at his omnitool with a frown. "I mean, I picked out a few that didn't entirely suck, for today, but... No, I will get you some really good ones."
