Movie Night Pt 2
Date of Scene: 29 April 2020
Location: Recreation Room
Synopsis: It's May the Fourth and that means it's time to watch Star Wars at Xavier's. It also means time for some duel-related shenanigans.
Cast of Characters: Danielle Moonstar, Bobby Drake, Wade Wilson, Kurt Wagner, Gabby Kinney, Rahne Sinclair, Raven Darkholme




Danielle Moonstar has posed:
Once again, it's movie night at Xavier's. Hopefully not to be interrupted by dinosaur shenanigans again. Just in case, however, there's a stack of meatlover's pizzas on one table.

The sofas, chairs, and beanbags have all been arranged in front of the largest projector television once again. The 'fridges are all correctly organized to make getting up to grab a drink in the dark all that much easier. There's classic movie candy available on the tables along with other snacks be they chips, popcorn, pretzels, or even trail mix (though less of that than even Raisinets).

The table that serves as primary 'snack bar' is laid out tonight with a plethora of gummy candies. Gummy bears, gummy worms, sour patch kids, gummy peaches, gummy watermelon slices (and other gummy fruits), and can't forget the gummy sharks. Long strands of gummy sour rainbows. Gummy lifesavers. Gummy colas. It even goes into some more surreal territory: gummy burgers. Gummy 'fried eggs.' Someone absolutely raided a candy store for this particular occasion.

The movie of the night? Well, it's a trilogy... if they manage to get that far. And the 90s theme is still in effect, barely (the first of the three released in 1999). The theme is clear from the minute one walks into the room: there's those plastic lightsabers here, there, just about everywhere that can be picked up. Someone's put up a banner that proclaims 'MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU.'

And yes, right on schedule, the scroll begins...

Too bad it's THE PHANTOM MENACE.

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake has claimed himself a beanbag and sprawls in it comfortably in jeans and a plain grey t-shirt and has managed to gather himself a bowl into which he has poured his selection of snacks -- some popcorn, some junior mints, some reeces pieces, and a handful of various gummies. He's got a soda on the floor tucked up next to the beanbag where it hopefully won't get knocked over and he seems ready for movie night.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
Either no one ever told Dani that -Phantom Menace- and the rest of the prequels are the bad ones or, being a zoomer, she has no idea. Blisfully unaware. She just knows it's MAY THE FORTH and they're Star Wars movies (one of which came out in 1999, so: IT FITS THEME). Look, they're the movies of her childhood, so to her they're great.

The Cheyanne woman is in jean shorts, a pod racing tee that's been knotted off just above her navel, and her usual braids. Barefoot for the evening. She's loaded up some slices of pizza onto a plate and grabbed a soda to clamber over a sofa to plunk down not far from Bobby. "Hopefully no compys this time." Because dinos eat -all- the good pizza.

Wade Wilson has posed:
There are many perfectly normal and reasonable uses for personal holographic projectors. The main one being to reduce the number of torch and pitchfork mobs that chase you around, or other similar inconveniences.

There's also less normal or reasonable uses.

Such as appearing to look like George Lucas.

Ol' George is fishing around in one of the refridgerators, humming thoughtfully, in a mix of red plaid shirt and comfy jeans. He stands back, his left arm cradling four Red Bulls (there will be an excess of wings), he cheerfully comes over to inspect the pizza. Until there's talk of dinosaurs. "You had /compys/? And I wasn't here. Have we learned how to become a dinosaur? Is it transmitted by bite, or a cough, can you breathe it -- or like an STD?" The voice sounds more like a detective Pikachu than any semblance of Mr. Lucas. Some people might flinch if they know it, and that flowing chatterboxy quality of pleasant nutcaseness.

Kurt Wagner has posed:
As a general rule Kurt tries to make movie nights whenever he can. Afterall, he's a huge movie fan and while his tastes might run a little more to older, swashbuckling classics he can be an equal opportunity cinemaphile when he wants to be. And when there happens to be a theme, so much the better!

Look, no one's first choice for a Star Wars movie should be Phantom Menace. And while a valid argument can be made that a New Hope should be first up in any proper viewing, it's May the Fourth! Besides, Kurt is usually pretty happy to go along with the flow without too many issues. Besides, if there is one thing to say for this particular entry it has a pretty badass lightsaber duel. And Kurt does love his duels.

Which might be the reason why he emerges into the rec room draped out in a brown robe and carrying a toy lightsaber, one that he swings around in front of him wildly as it lights up and hums with the appropriate sound effects every time he presses the button on the hilt. This will surely not get old.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"I was a compy!" Comes a very cheery, peppy voice from the doorway as Gabby comes bounding in with a bag of pre-popped cheddar popcorn that was so large she has to literally hug it to her chest. It was light weight but it was just about as tall as her so she's forced to lean it to the side to grin around it. "I brought popcorn! Can you believe they SELL them this big?! It's like a popcorn bodypillow!" She pauses with a little gasp. "Oh man if I were still a compy I could just crawl inside and eat the entire thing." There's a pause, and she sighs, "But I was all feathery so that would probably suck to get the butter off them." Hm.

The thoughts are shrugged off and she scoots over to the food table to plop the obscenely large popcorn bag up there with other snacks. "What're we watching anyway?"

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
One might wonder what they do with all the leftover snacks from these movie nights, but with a place so full of teenagers... chances are they don't last a full twenty-four hours. Dani probably just gives whomsoever does the food orders a list of what she needs for movie night and voila.

The gummy order must have been a fun one. Maybe it was just 'as many gummies in as many varieties as possible.'

The woman has a slice of pizza most of the way to her mouth when Wa- no, Lucas himself appears, robbing them of all their Red Bull. She stares, she looks questioningly to Bobby, she stares again. "Uh." There's a bite of pizza because really, she can't handle this moment sans-pizza. Bite, chew, swallow. Then again, shape-shifters aren't unheard of, so... "We dunno what's causing people to change. Seems to be pretty random. Same with the gorilla thing. Might happen, might not." Much to Jubilee's despair.

Wade Wilson has posed:
"Well... boo," George-Pool huffs at Dani, sadly. How will he attain his dino-tastic dreams? Not in a clear way, it seems. "I am rarely so lucky. I dwell in the pit of unluck and stabbings, and grenade early-explosions which may or may not be due to counting problems."

"You were a compy? What made you decide to no longer be a Compsognathus? I cannot imagine the stress of /that/ choice----" George Lucas of the Wade Voice propels towards Gabby as she comes in, happy to have somebody to talk to (at?).

But then there's more temptation. Someone (Kurt) just arrived and waved a sword around. Even a plastic one is some sort of display to entice all the Deadpools in the room to notice and engage. This could go a number of ways. The four Red Bulls are unloaded onto the counter and George grips the counter with fingers, hard, as if clutching at the edge of his own sanity. Must not leap on the counter. Behave? /Behave/.

"Must not leap on the counter. Behave? Behave. Keep this in your head. Oh. Too late. Hi." That's sort of at whoever: himself, or Kurt. "I'm behaving. But there could be a duel," suggests George-Pool, with all the suaveness he can muster. It's not a lot, due to the George appeareance. Just awkward. "Of which I won't insist on the high ground. Or a pool of lava. Unless you have one. I just didn't bring mine. It's in my other pants. ...And I don't mean that in the way it-- you know what, no. I won't enter the pit of terrible possibly-unintentional humor today. I'll leave that to the movie."

"... but I will get /my/ lightsaber," promises George-Pool, suddenly bolting towards the door. This man does probably not need four Red Bulls.

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake looks over at Danielle, and then at "George Lucas" and then back to her. "What?" he asks. "He likes Red Bull." The fact that George Lucas doesn't have his own voice is probably a giveaway that it's not actually George Lucas. Bobby does not seem particularly disturbed by this fact as he pops a handful of popcorn into his mouth. And then off George-Pool is going in search of his lightsaber and Bobby glances at the ones around the room. He grins, pops another handful of popcorn in his mouth, and glances back at the screen, "You know.. I don't think I've ever seen these."

Kurt Wagner has posed:
In Kurt's defense he could hardly be expected to know that Wade would be present. Of course, it is probably something that should always be planned for, properly prepared for and carefully considered, but damn it, he has to live his life without fear. And without the possibility of lightsaber duels can suddenly strike at anytime. Either way, the ingigo-furred mutant isn't about to apologize for his passions. At least not until the inevitable destruction insues. It is possible that no lamp will remain in an upright position by the end of the evening. He's made his peace with that.

"Of course, you should do so right away," the blue elf says cheerfully, pausing only long enough to grab a plate and load it down with some pizza too. The idea that perhaps he should try to set an example, or discourage that sort of thing doesn't seem to occur to him. Really, why would anyone not want to have a lightsaber fight while watching a Star Wars movie? Quite frankly the notion is just ridiculous. "You had best hurry though George," he points out with a straight face before starting into the first slice of pizza. Hey, a would-be Jedi needs his energy.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Oh mostly only because I was even shorter than I am now. It was cool otherwise. I was all feathery so don't trust those non-feather sorts saying they don't have feathers, they probably were just bald," Gabby chatters back looking quite okay with the conversation going on.

Then after George-Pool makes his escape she glances at Kurt thoughtfully. A very pressing question is in her mind. Yes. "What's a light saber?" Her eyes narrow suspiciously. This was something she had not heard of before, but darn if it didn't sound interesting. That, and she snags a slice of pizza at the same time.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
"My grandfather and I watched these," Danielle tells Bobby as she finally settles in to stuff her face with pizza, washing it down with soda. As any proper youth should when watching a movie. She's taken up her customary sofa position: a corner, heels on the cushion, knees drawn up close. Means she takes up less space overall, but she seems cozy enough.

"She was adorable," Dani calls, regarding Gabby-the-compy. All floofed feathers and everything! Socute. As for duels, well... Someone -did- leave lightsabers everywhere. The plastic kind, that have essentially a low-powered flashlight inside. Dani leans over and nabs one within reach, opening it with a flick of the wrist so that it turns on -- green -- and tosses it towards Gabby. "Lightsaber" she says by way of wholly useless explanation.

Wade Wilson has posed:
"Mine isn't plastic!" George-Pool says as a parting shot in the doorway. "Well. It probably has some plastic -- and it's more of a psi-blade of light that... well, you'll see." George Lucas (Wade in hologram disguise) ducks out with that, though, off to find whatever dangerous item it was he has in mind.

Bobby Drake has posed:
"I've seen the older ones, and I've seen the new ones.. but I don't think I ever saw these, which are.. before the old ones in the timeline? Right?" Bobby says as he looks back at the screen, pretty sure that he's got that right. The smell of pizza is a siren song, though, and he takes his bowl of random goodies with him to go find a plate and snag a couple of slices, stacking them one atop the other with casual disregard for them sticking together. He then grabs a couple of napkins and returns to his beanbag.

Rahne Sinclair has posed:
    Poking her head inside the recreation room, Rahne sees a gathering of sorts. And...food. And really, there was no other reason to enter the room, food would be it. It is enough to lure the normally quiet one into the rec room proper.

    Approaching the outer end of the group, green eyes turn to focus on the movie displayed. "Whatcha all watchin'?" It may very well be that Rahne is not familiar with anything on the screen.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
"That was weird." Dani is still peering after George-Pool in the darkness. Apparently, that's a new one on her. She turns back 'round and picks up another slice of pizza, explaining for Bobby's sake: "These're first, yeah. Well, not first ones made, but first, yeah. The beginning. I figured, since, y'know, this one was made in 1999, it still fit my theme!" It might not be right for the -purists- but she was born in '99. You'll have to forgive her.

Chomping into her pizza, she overhears Rahne and turns to grin at her friend. "Rahne! It's Star Wars. Phantom of the Menace specifically. C'mon, join us."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney settles into a corner to toy with the 'lightsaber' she'd received. Which is mostly by shining it in her eyes, and opening her mouth so the light shines through her cheeks. Waaugh.

Raven Darkholme has posed:
The open door allows for many different people to walk past and glimpse into the room while allowing the ruckus of the din of teenagers to enter the hallway. A new face peeks into the room and gasps loudly, "Oh. Em. Gee. I love Ewan!" The bubbly voice of the mid aged teen reports as she turns in and brushes past Rahne and others to move into the room and claim a seat on the floor in front of the couch.

Rahne Sinclair has posed:
    Rahne does come in to sit, but mostly because Dani asked. Though, it is apparent that Rahne herself is not all that familiar with the movie itself. "Star Wars? What's that? Ah didnae think Ah ever seen that at all."

    Okay, so maybe Rahne has never heard of the series itself. Which is a travesty, but really, is it much of a surprise? The movie itself doesn't get much of a look. Instead, it is the plastic lightsabers that get a view. "And what's wit' the flashlights wit' the extendo tube thingies on them?"

    Okay...so she really is a novice.

Kurt Wagner has posed:
With both pizza and lightsaber in hand, Kurt finally claims a spot with a decent vantage point of the screen, settling in as he continues to snack of the gooey goodness of tonight's not terribly well balanced meal. Oh well. In the grand scheme of things, the possibility of George Lucas-Pool returning with some highly dangerous and inappropriate weapon is a much bigger concern. Either way, he glances Gabby's way, 'igniting' his green lightsaber as well as again the sound effects ripple out of it and it shines brightly. "They are space laser-sword, Ja?" he notes enthusiastically as if nothing could be better. Space is awesome, lasers are awesome and nothing is better then swords. Put them altogether and how can you miss? "Though generally it is considered a bad idea to put them in your mouth."

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
"Pizza and gummies on the table," Dani tells the Ewan-lover. The other snacks are obvious: they're all over the place. Sodas in their 'fridges and -in order- for once. Someone made sure of it! When Rahne reveals she doesn't even know what Star Wars is, there's a bit of a gasp. "Well, dang, uh-"

Dani stuffs the rest of her pizza into her mouth, considering. "It's a huge sci-fi series. Like, there's movies and books and video games and cartoons. Everything. But it's also sort of a fantasy. This is the first movie... but not really." She's probably not the best person to explain, all things considered.

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake folds the top slice of pizza in half, a bit of the cheese from the one below sticking to its bottom, and takes a big bite, sighing with contentment at the gooey cheesy goodness. There is absolutely nothing healthy about the food that he is eating tonight. It's probably a good thing that he gets a lot of exercise. He then says, "So they made three movies, then they made three more but in the timeline they happen before the first three, then they made three more, but those three happen after the first three. Then there's Rogue One and Solo which happen uh.. some.. other time.. in there.. but I have no idea exactly when."

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Regina looks over her shoulder towards 'her' son with soft bright blue eyes smiling up towards Kurt but then she Snort giggles at Gabby and the plastic encased light in her mouth. "That would Hurt." she smirks, showing her teeth In the smile.

Regina looks back further, her head turning more than the average human's might, in a show of her mutation maybe, "That's kind, but I'm on a diet, so I'll get some water laters." Regina says slowly her bare long legs crossing beneath her as she clasps her hands and rests them in her lap.

Wade Wilson has posed:
"STAR WARS," Wade's voice announces, "Is an epic space opera where the Skywalker family messes up the galaxy; the GOOD part is where the Skywalker Luke guy has to fix all the crap his father did. THAT crap is in the movies we're gonna see today. I can continue, if you like, fulfilling my role as captain Exposition, of this current space journey..."

All of that was announced while rushing into the room as George Lucas, with a proper looking Light Saber (which may or may not be extremely dangerous), and lunging to the top of the couch to leap at Kurt from the high ground.

"THE FLOOR IS LAVA!" is added for good measure.

Kurt Wagner has posed:
If one were determined to watch the movies without any sort of distraction or interruption, this would be a terrible environment to do so. Fortunately anyone who has spent more then a day or two at the mansion would already be well aware of and used to that fact. At least no one has burst through the wall intent on getting revenge, nor has any anti-mutant paramilitary organization stormed the building. Based on that criteria this movie night is positively calm.

"It is a story of heroism and redemption," Kurt points out, those yellow eyes gleaming appreciatively. No surprise there. Before he can offer anymore commentary however he hears that voice behind him. "Excuse me, one moment," he notes cheerfully, suddenly disappearing from his seat with a little *Bamf* and the brief odor of brimstone left in his wake just as Wade attacks. And instant later he reappears, clinging to the light fixture overhead with one hand, the other brandishing that much less intimidating toy lightsaver. "Give it up Lucas! I have the high ground now!"

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
At least it's like any other family, right? After all, what family can sit still and quiet for an entire movie?

...and be considered normal?

Dani seems to consider all this normal. Mostly. -Mostly- normal. Because she's getting up from the sofa for some more pizza and soda and eyeballing the sword that George-Pool has and is giving it a very, very wide berth. "Hey, Bobby. Is that thing- uh..." since, y'know, Bobby seemed to have passing familarity with the guy. Or at least seemed to think everything was -totally- okay with it.

Bobby Drake has posed:
"Is what thing what?" Bobby asks Danielle, having been distracted by snacks and pizza and not really paying all that much attention to the commotion going on around them. Though when Wade leaps, and Kurt appears hanging from the light fixture, he does take a moment to say, "Uhm.." and he leaves that hanging there, not entirely sure what to make of this recent development.

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Regina looks over her shoulder at Kurt and Wade and her blonde eyebrows furrow as she tries to figure out who the guy with the glowing weapon is. Regina rises to her feet, her head still facing the two adults and she turns her body around to face them as well before stamping her bare foot against the floor. "I swear to Oh Emm Gee, if you two ruin this movie I'm going to be very. VERY. Upset." The blonde girl warns and then looks to Bobby expecting him to do more than just act like he doesn't know and she crosses her arms beneath her chest in a grumpy harumphy entitled teen sort of manner.

Rahne Sinclair has posed:
    The look of confusion on Rahne's face is almost comical as she listens to Bobby...and to Kurt....and to some other random person (looking at you, George-pool) as her green eyes flicker every now and then to the screen. "So...there's like 10 of these? An' we're not watchin' the first, but we are watchin' the first? An' the whole thing's in space an' the family issa good, then bad, then tryin' tae be good again? And there's space laser swords because why not?" Rahne slowly shakes her head, ignoring the movie for a moment as she walks over to get some snacks. Because that makes more sense right now than the entire timeline.

    "Whatevah ye say. Didnae make much sense tae me."

Wade Wilson has posed:
"I shall never stop, even when everyone urges me to finally please retire! There is money to be made!" George-Pool declares upwards, landing where Kurt was and pivoting smoothly. He's not a fencer, but there's a lot of blade skill shown, even with the oddly balanced toy. He flips it around up into the air and catches it, deliberately showy. It clashes with his current George character a lot. It just reeks of Deadpool, as much as the voice does, and a clinging wiff of Mexican food.

"But I would like to submit that THIS time, I am not the one clinging to the ceiling," he adds, pointing upwards, before re-engaging via a playful leaping slash at Kurt.

Georgepool also makes a 'vvsshhhowww' sound verbally.

"--- Yet."

"I would never spoiler, young friend!" That was at Regina.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
And like Bobby, Dani can only stare. Mind, she's not in that 'teacher' role. She just lives here. So she moves slowly towards the pizza and nabs one of the more full boxes. Gotta save it, right? And then slowly back. She opens it and offers it towards Bobby.

Cause it seems like this is gonna happen either way and they might as well have something to eat, right?

"Who is that guy, anyway?" She means George-Pool. Obviously it's not Lucas, but she doesn't recognize who that is talking.

Kurt Wagner has posed:
Hey, he was not the greatest acrobat in all of Europe for nothing so as that dangerous looking lightsaber swings at him, KUrt contorts his body, swinging about with ease. That does have the somewhat disconcerting effect of making the light fixture wobble somewhat erratically, shaking as far more weight then ever was intended is applied to it. At the last moment Kurt arches his body, swinging upwards and simply clinging to the ceiling itself, the fixture no longer looking as if it is in immediate danger of falling to the couch below. Again. This might not be the first time Kurt has been put into a position of clinging to them. Which again, says a little something about life at this school.

"Is that so? I foresee a giant mouse coming along to deal with you soon mister," Kurt counters, waving his sword in not so threatening fashion. Hey, it's a pretty good prop. He doesn't want it sliced in half here. But the matter is settled as Regina makes her complaint heard and, given that he is a teacher afterall," he releases his hold and casually backflips down to the ground, slipping in a sweeping bow as he lands. "Oh course frauline. You have my most sincere apologies. I shall endeavor to behave. As will George here, Ja?" he says, glancing back towards his fencing partner.

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby watches the fight going on for a moment or two and then says, "Guys.. if you're going to duel, take it outside," very momentarily slipping into teacher mode before he reaches into the box that Danielle offers and drags out another slice of pizza. He sure isn't going to turn that down. Of course, Bobby looks a lot like the rest of the students, so it's hit or miss whether anyone takes him seriously or not outside of an actual classroom.

Raven Darkholme has posed:
In a weird sort of haze, Regina turns her head around towards the screen and then her body turns the wrong way so her neck would be fully twisted, and yet, she sits down like normal and then sighs the sigh of an infatuated teenager oggling her dream crush. "Ewaaan." She mumbles to herself and leans her back against the front of the couch again and her blond pony tail rests on Gabby's leg.

Wade Wilson has posed:
Georgepool wasn't on the same page about giving up, at least at first, so there's danger still coming at Kurt from the weapon that IS giving off a little too much heat.

But it isn't fun to stab people that aren't playing, either - unless they're CERTAIN people that are refusing to play, anyway -- (Bets are off with you, Logan), but Georgepool doesn't strike with the sword, he instead goes for a big side-hug. "Do you think of me as your fencing partner?" Georgepool is charmed.

Said side-hug is all sorts of weird if Wade gets close enough, since Deadpool is physically not a lot like George Lucas, so there's a lot of hologram malfunction as it struggles to deal with the incorrect height, arm span, weight: everything, really. It looks like am MMO character trying to merge with another NPC in a game. Horrific in a way.

"I have another one, we can stabbie-stab AFTER...?" Wade loudly stage-whispers at his new pal Kurt longingly. "It's purple, though, so you'll have to Mace Windie. Cool with it?" Georgepool's is red. He also did hear Dani's question. "This meat popsicle is Wade. I am allowed here. I have a multi-pass."

"I feel like what I need to go with my lightsaber is a dinosaur to ride, though. We could /joust/." Wade waggles his sword, making some more lightsaber sounds along with it. VSHHHZZ -- ZHHHHOWWWW.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
Never turn down pizza. But on the upside, things seem to be simmering down. Dani does look to Regina out of the corner of her eye, but then: weird is a daily thing here. Once you've seen someone like Jamie Madrox clone himself just to scratch his own back, well. A day -without- something strange is what feels strange. A girl who is flexible enough to turn her head full round Exorcist-style? Fits right in.

Pizza consumption stops at the weird image glitching caused by George-pool trying to hug Kurt and Dani hesitates, frowns, tries to sort that out. "Wade," she says, slowly. Uncertain. "Uhuh. I'm Dani."

Kurt Wagner has posed:
For the most part, Kurt can be pretty responsible. He has grown well into his role as a teacher here since returning from England. But sometimes one just has to let loose a little. So he briefly shoots Bobby a reproachful look as he is urged to behave. "What is the question? What happened to you Mr. Drake? You used to be cool?" he asks, the corners of his mouth twitching ever so slightly as he does so.

But with his chiding comes a new sense of responsibility. The responibility to return a little decorum to movie night. So all the fuzzy blue elf can do is turn to his new fencing partner and offer a bright smile. "That sounds like a very entertaining endeavor. We shall have to do so soon. Preferably when it does not look like we are melting into some sort of hideous abomination. I fear that I am going to have to quit you for now George," he says, shaking his head with mock-regret. Then, draping an arm around Wade's shoulders the pair disappear with another of those little *BAMFs*. A moment later Kurt reappears without George-pool, smiling beautifically. Wade might be less thrilled with the five mile walk he has ahead of him through the forests of Westchester County. "Now... I believe Gabby had popcorn..."

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake smirks a little over at Kurt and says, "I'm always, cool. I'm practicing my teacher voice. Is it working?" He flashes a grin, then, and reaches down to grab his soda and takes a sip from it, the can frosting beneath his fingertips. And then there's a *BAMF* and Kurt is gone, and when he returns, George-Pool is also gone, and he raises a brow. "Do I want to know what you did with him? You know what, no, I don't. As long as no real swords are stabbing anybody in the rec room tonight, I'm happy." Listen, one can only be so responsible.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney had been dozing because *apparently* these movies were kind of boring to her. There's a little snort of air cutting off then resuming as she jerks her head upward blinking rapidly a time or two. "I'm awake, totally awake, yes popcorn," she blurts out while keeping her eyes REALLY WIDE OPEN to fight off that thing known as sleepies. It's about this time she notices the weird itchy weight on her leg.

Looking down at the blonde ponytail of the other girl she looks confused, then more confused, as she plucks at the hair to nudge it to the side... Then just drops it ontop of the girl's head. Maybe she could give her a mohawk.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
"I'm pretty sure Bobby is the definition of cool," Dani agrees. If anyone were to know what 'cool' is, it'd be the Iceman. But then, that's just getting into semantics and no one wants that.

But Kurt is gone and returning sans one George-Pool. She's also giving a suspicious look at the teleporter. In the end she just shrugs, points at the plastic lightsabers littering the room. "I got the toys for a reason! This, this-" she takes the box of pizza -- sorry Bobby -- back to the couch to flop back down in her sea. "is why we can't have nice things around here!"

Rahne Sinclair has posed:
    There might have been a side glance or two towards the movie, but the movie really didn't hold that much of an interest to Rahne. The plastic toys...and what they were being used for...certainly did, though. She reaches over to pick up a lightsaber, her finger flicking on the button as she gives her wrist a twist. Out pops the plastic, with the appropriate sounds and everything. "Whoa! Ah can see why ye might like this thing."

    Of course, Rahne hasn't seen the lightsaber battles on screen...but that has nothing on the battle she just witnessed in the rec room.

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake reaaaches out and snags one more slice from the retreating box before Dani can escape back to the couch with it. It's not like he couldn't /get up/ and go over to the couch to grab another slice, but he seems to be enjoying his lazy posture on the beanbag. He didn't even bother to get up for the battle in the room, so how serious he was about breaking it up is probably on the lower end of the scale. He grins as Rahne flicks the lightsaber around and it makes the noises and everything. Then he laughs at Gabby's VERY awake self. "Maybe you should grab one of those Red Bulls," the ones that got left on the counter before the battle began.

Kurt Wagner has posed:
Sometimes one just shouldn't ask questions. Especially when they don't really want to know the answers. It's not like Kurt actually would hurt George-pool afterall. What is a half-hearted attempted skewering between casual aquaintances anyway? He has just placed the unlikely guest in timeout. One that will take him a reasonable amount of time to work himself out of. "This is not a toy," Kurt replies oh so seriously, nodding his head as he holds up his lightsaber. "It is a licensed prop. Very different," he notes gravely. But then his room is practically a shrine to move memorabelia, though he tends to leans more heavily towards Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn then, you know, anyone born in his lifetime.

With his distraction dealt with, the fuzzy blue elf returns to his spot and reclaims his pizza. But Gabby's bag is eyed with interest. Afterall, what is a movie without popcorn to go along with it?

Raven Darkholme has posed:
    Regina suddenly stands up and turns to the group as she seems to be about done. "Thanks for letting me hang out. I'm going to go work out, anyone is welcome to come with me. Byee!" She says all bubbly and with a twinkle in her bright blue eyes as she skips past the sofa and towards the door and disappears into the hallways.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
"You should keep one," Dani tells Rahne as she watches the redhead have fun with one of the toy lightsabers. "Else they'll just stay around here and someone will break something." That'll probably happen anyway.

Perhaps more of her psychic training sessions with Xaiver (those always wear her out) because it's not too long before she's dozing off with the pizza box resting in her lap, head nestled in a corner of the sofa. Bonus: everyone learns that she snores. (Not too loudly, at least!)

Bobby Drake has posed:
Bobby Drake eventually gets up to retrieve the pizza box from Dani's lap so that she doesn't end up with pizza all over her when she wakes up, and tosses a light blanket over her before he cleans up his own food. But then he settles in to his beanbag and watches at least the first one before he eventually gets up and wanders off to answer a phone call.
