"Why am I not surprised that you want to spend your time doing this?" Her voice came from the doorway and she watched him mess about with the wires. Hopefully he wasn't breaking something, but if he was, at least it was the entertainment system and not something actually important.

[ghost_bullets]

Hey look, one of said techno-incompetents. He glanced over at her, then back to where he was trying to rearrange the entertainment system to be a little more efficient, although at this point he was stalling since, as he'd quickly found, there wasn't much to do as it was all run through the Rec computer system. "So you came to do the same thing voluntarily? What the hell are you complaining about?"

[crankypsychoex]

She moved to get a better view of what he was doing, even if she really had no clue. Why the hell did it need all that wires and crap anyway? "Who said I was staying?"

[ghost_bullets]

"What, okay, so you just showed up to tell me you think being here is a waste of time? Wow, Tex, thanks, I really needed that. Real helpful." Deciding he'd finished fiddling with the video system, he pushed past her to get to the console and see if there was anything in particular he really wanted to watch right now.

[crankypsychoex]

"No," she snorted. "I came to see if whatever crap you're putting on is worth suffering through."

[ghost_bullets]

"So, you did come here to watch movies voluntarily," he said flatly, not impressed. "If it's such torture, why bother?"

[crankypsychoex]

The question was easily ignored and she took a glance at the movie selection. "Which one are you putting on?"

[ghost_bullets]

"Well, I dunno, I only just started looking through here, didn't I?" Not that he'd never gone through the movie catalogue, but he hadn't really come here with anything in particular in mind. "How about... uh, action films, let's see... 'Speed 12: Backtrack'? Or, uh, here we go, the remake of the remake of the 2138 version of the first Star Wars. You know, the one with the latest clone of Arnold Schwarzenegger playing Han Solo." Yes, they were bad movies. No, he didn't care. He wanted something that was a) mindless, b) had awesome special effects, and c) was sure to piss Tex off. That last part being the most important.

[crankypsychoex]

Yeah, none of those were going to fly with her and she made that obvious when she attempted to shove him out of the way so she could pick something out. "Nice to know your taste in movies has gone to hell."

[ghost_bullets]

"I was jok- goddamnit, don't push me like that, woman," he snorted, pushing back to try and get back to the console after having been so unceremoniously shoved aside. "I said I get first pick, that's the conditions. You can watch anything you want after that."

[crankypsychoex]

She put up an arm to block him and hold him back while she scrolled through the selection. "You lost your first pick privileges when you started naming off that crap, joke or not." He was lucky she wasn't into chick flicks or she'd force him to suffer through one. "Here, this one looks a lot better than those." She hovered the mouse over first one that looked like an action flick that would hold her attention for a while.

[ghost_bullets]

"What's that?" He leaned in to look, still trying in vain to push at her by leaning against her. How the hell was she so strong? It wasn't fair. Fucking Sarge, making her body better than his.

It was at this point that Robin entered the room, hauling a small table that he'd commandeered from the rec room's collection. He set it down next to the door with a loud THWACK, then shoved it up against the wall before straightening and turning to face the two soldiers, flashing a cheerful grin at them. He was out of uniform, wearing a t-shirt and a jumpsuit tied at the waist. "You beat me to it, Church," he said. "James and I had the same idea... although, we were thinking more along the lines of food, music, silly games." He turned back to the door, catching himself on the door frame long enough to add, "I've got the food taken care of anyway," before vanishing through the door.

He reappeared a moment later, balancing a large tray, heavily laden with plates, cups, napkins, a bowl of popcorn, a bowl of potato chips, and a couple of pitchers containing a red liquid and a purple liquid. "So, what are we watching?" he asked as he slid the tray onto the table.

((Lauren, you win at fake future crappy action movies. XDDD ))

[crankypsychoex]

"Back off," she said irritably and used her arm to push Church away and keep him at a distance. And now the kid was here. Which wasn't that surprising, considering he had a habit of being involved in whatever possible.

When he reentered the room, she glanced over at him, then turned her attention back to the computer. "I think this is the first time I've ever preferred one of Church's ideas to someone else's," she snorted. "We're watching some crap called War Hounds."

[ghost_bullets]

He grumbled but stumbled more-or-less willingly away from Tex, and nodded to Robin in greeting. But Tex was presenting more of a problem. "Oh yeah right, like hell we're watching that bullshit. Why don't you give up that war crap already and have some fun for once? Let's watch Star Wars. C'mon, it'll be good for ya."

[boy_wondering]

Robin squatted on his heels, taking things off of the tray and arranging them on the table. He glanced over at Tex, eying her with amusement. "Yeah, we figured you wouldn't be into that," he said.

The Boy Wonder rolled his eyes, anticipating imminent bickering. "Never heard of either of those," he commented idly, tucking the now empty tray under the table.
