Henry McCoy has posed:
It was a lazy Monday for Henry - he had no classes today, having scheduled a free day for himself. So while most were in classes, Henry decided to make use of the rec room. He had a bowl of popcorn, a soda and his feet up on the table as the movie was starting. It was a simple 80's action movie, Bloodsport. Jean Claude Van Damme, the perfect vegging movie for the man.

It was a lazy day, but a good one.

Alison Blaire has posed:
Apparently today is an off day for Alison. She meanders into the rec room, wearing a rather unglamorous outfit: sweat pants, and a old ratty hoodie, feet tucked into a pair of slippers. No makeup, her hair is a bit of a mess. Very stylin. She pads over to the bar and reaches over to pull out a bottle of water.

It takes a moment or two for her to realize that there is a movie playing in the background. She looks over at it, and hmmms quietly, before she decides to get a bit of a closer look, crossing her arms over her chest as she watches. "A bit much, isn't it?" she asks of the scene playing out on the screen.

Henry McCoy has posed:
As Alison makes her presence known, Henry glances over with a grin. "Indeed. It is interesting, though, as in this movie they try to show a range of different martial arts styles." A wry chuckle. "It is certainly campy, but that makes it fun, right?"

"How are you, Alison? Care to relax with a non-thought provoking movie with me?" A smile from Henry, the man still relaxed as can be. He's wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt - comfy clothes for an easy day.

Alison Blaire has posed:
Alison Blaire takes a long drink of the bottle of water she's holding. She is not looking like one might see her out and about, or on stage. Mussed hair, no makeup, sweats and a hoodie. Apparently today is a day off. She shrugs just a little bit at Henry's suggestion to join him, "I'm gonna stand for a bit but sure I'll watch til it gets to be...too over the top." She shifts from one side to the other, and then bends at her waist to one side, stretching slowly.

The movie is Bloodsport, and Dazzler seems less than impressed with it, "I mean, yeah, they're showing all sorts of fighting styles ok, but...why? What's the point of the movie? What's even going on?" She has apparently come to the show late.

Henry McCoy has posed:
A smirk from the Beast, the man having his feet propped up on the table. Popcorn and soda are nearby. "Well, the point is... it's an 80s film. No earthshaking shots, no amazing script. Just... mind-numbing fun." A wink. "But the plot of the movie is centered about a immigrant to America, who is taught by another immigrant family in the ways of martial arts. He then takes on the burden of fighting in a mixed martial arts tournament, where no holds are barred, for the honor of his teacher."

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
The door opens and the large Russian arrives, when he sees Hank and Alison watching a movie for a moment he pauses and then he grins, "AH! Blood Sport! I know this movie!" he grins as he approaches, of course the guys know the 80's action movies. "Although, I think a warrior of Russian Sambo would have destroyed them all, yeah?" he grins brightly.

"Hello friends." he greets then, "Just relaxing today it seems?" he glances between the two.

Alison Blaire has posed:
She changes position to lean the other way now, stretching her other side. "I guess. But, ok fine I won't ask questions because clearly it's not going to hold up if I do." She straightens up and sighs, "I need to get a new mattress for my bed here...my back feels just terrible."

And then Piotr arrives and she smiles a bit to the man, "Hi Piotr. Yes, just a day in relaxing. I should go do some writing later, but for now...Bloodsport, I guess?"

Henry McCoy has posed:
Henry ohs, nodding. "Oh yes, it's full of plot-holes and questions on why this or that happened." He admits sheepishly to Alison. A glance over as Piotr arrives. "Piotr! I do not know, honestly. Sambo wasn't one of the styles I got trained in." The Beast grins. "I don't think it's high on the list of Cap's known fighting styles."

He reaches over and grabs his soda, taking a sip. "Let me know if you need help moving that, Alison? I'd suggest perhaps one of the memory foam ones? Or one of the adjustable sleep number ones." A grin. "I keep having to find sturdier ones, due to my weight."

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
"Yeah, a matress is not always easy for my size either." Piotr admits, "But I've managed to find something that has worked for now. We will see how long it lasts." he admits with a bit of a chuckle. He watches Bloodsport for a few moments, shaking his head at the action with a bit of a smile.

Gaze sweeping over to Alison, "Likewise, if you need help moving things in or whatever, I can be of some help. Its a little easier to get things in and out with a bit of oomph." the Russian grins.

Alison Blaire has posed:
"Help? No, that's what you hire people for." Alison replies, and then finishes off her bottle of water. She tosses it into the recycling nearby, and then goes to get a second. She comes back as another fight starts up on the screen, "I don't need help with moving, but thank you both for the offer. Worst comes to worst I'll just stop sleeping on the tour bus. That whole set up is probably the root cause of all this." Surely not the occasional crime fighting.

She then leans forward against the back of the couch Henry sits on, and arches her back, and there's an audible pop, before she quietly says, "ohhhhhhhhh......yes. That was it.."

Henry McCoy has posed:
A laugh at Piotr's comment. "I am sure, I am sure. You are sleeping while not metal, correct?" Henry teases the other man. "That would likely save some stress on the bedding." Another sip of his soda, clearly amused. There's a bit of a blink at the popping sound from Alison.

"Perhaps a chiropractor? And yes, definitely sleeping on a tour bus is probably to blame." The man chuckles. "You're all right, yes? I can suggest other stretches that might help?"

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
Piotr Rasputin chuckles, amused, "Of course I do not typically sleep metal." he seems to find the entire idea of it funny in of itself. He grins a bit more, though he stops and just sort of shrugs as he watches a particularly bloody result of a spin kick from the movie's star, Van Damme.

Alison Blaire has posed:
"Oh, that worked a treat," Dazzler replies, as she straightens up and walks a little funny for a moment as she twists a little to get rid of the lingering effects of popping her back like that. "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm not going to like, explode or anything. And, yeah...I could try one of them but I dunno, I figure the occasional back cracking by myself is probably good enough."

Alison starts to walk towards the exit, "But, like I said, I should go write some music or something now that this is taken care of...nice seeing you both!"

Henry McCoy has posed:
The Beast nods to Piotr, still grinning. "Good man. I imagine it'd require a specific engineering of a new bedframe for you, if you did. Not to mention the matress and springs." A chuckle. "Have a seat, enjoy the movie."

"Of course, Alison. Always a pleasure chatting with you. Hope you work the kinks out!" He offers a wave to the departing popstar.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
Piotr Rasputin offers a wave to Alison, "Good luck, try not to work to hard...even art can become a chore." he says, perhaps from some of his own experiences. He comes around to find a place to sit, "Yeah. I can sit for a bit and watch." he offers to Hank, "At least for a little bit." he smiles.

Henry McCoy has posed:
The blue man offers over some popcorn to the Russian. "How have things been, Piotr? Any new exciting news?" Henry wonders, before taking a sip of his drink. On screen, the've moved on to the varied montages leading up to the main fight between Dux and Chong Li.
