Third Floor Common Room, Tuesday Night

[not_a_moonie]

Alana had ordered a pizza, and -- as seemed to be the law in Fandom -- the delivery person had brought five pizzas and a few bottles of soda to wash them down with.

Once she realized she wasn't going to have to pay for all five, she was completely down with this. Leaving the pizza out for anybody who wanted to share it, she chowed on a slice of the ham-and-pineapple as she watched a nature show marathon on the TV. She hadn't even known what a meerkat was an hour before, but she was becoming kind of an expert on the soap opera that was their sex lives.

"Having fun checking out the exciting lives of Earth animals?" Johnny asked as he walked in.

"So the mother meerkat is trying to keep her daughter from going off with the bad boy meerkat from the other clan," Alana deadpanned. "Meerkats, they're just like us!"

As an afterthought, she waved a greeting. "Hey. Have pizza."

"I don't know about that. I've never even considered running off with a bad boy, meerkat or not," Johnny said, taking a seat and a slice. "But maybe I'm just weird."

[not_a_moonie]

Alana smirked at him. "You're weird," she told him. "No, seriously, this whole show is about making the lives of small animals sound like the hugest soap opera ever. It's kind of bizarre. In a fascinating way."

"Yeah, but you like weird, clearly," Johnny said. "And I can see animal lives being pretty dramatic. I mean, they constantly have to deal with other animals trying to eat them."

[not_a_moonie]

"Weird's more interesting," Alana told him, turning away from the screen. "And, okay, you're right, but this show is like 25 minutes of relationship drama, five minutes about 'oh look, an elephant might eat us.' Like I said: Weird."

"I don't think elephants eat animals," Johnny said. "But I guess I'm up for some meerkat romance. Which ones are doing it? And can you actually tell the difference between them?"

[not_a_moonie]

"I always forget who eats what," Alana admitted, not sounding particularly bothered about it either way. "And ... not really? The mom's the fat brown one and the bad boy has a weird kink in his tail. The rest of them all look about the same to me."

She shrugged. "Probably they'd say all people look the same to them, right?"

"If they could speak human languages, probably. And then they'd burst into song... Which is a reference you won't get unless somebody's introduced you to the Disney classics," Johnny said.

Alana snickered. "Apparently not enough," she said. "I've seen a couple, but I'm not bathed in the stuff the way you guys are."

"If you ever want to see one about lions, let me know, and you'll get a whole new appreciation for meerkats," Johnny offered.

[not_a_moonie]

"Okay, that one you have to explain," Alana decided. "Are there meerkats in the lion story?"

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"Just one. His best friend is a warthog. They like singing and being lazy," Johnny explained.

[not_a_moonie]

"They left the warthogs out of this," Alana joked, gesturing to the screen. "No singing, either. I'm only getting half the meerkat picture. The angsty half."

[OOC: NIGHT.]

"We'll fix that, I promise," Johnny said. "You'll get songs stuck in your had you can never hop to get out and everything."

[Night!]
