Kappa Kappa Gremlin Meeting, After Classes, Monday [ 01/31 ].

Jan 31, 2011 11:21

It was no big surprise that Alexander spent a lot of time searching through the library, and, while he had still failed to find exactly what he was looking for, he did, on occasion, come up with a few unexpected gems. And one of those gems was something he definitely had to bring into the fraternity weekend that week.

It was the calendar from the ( Read more... )

Thoughts, suggestions, objections and approval all go here!

"I want to be Mister December," Peter joked. "Me, strategically placed mistletoe, that's what we want, right?"

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 20:31:17 UTC

"Just mistletoe?"

Zack, don't squeak like that. It wasn't very SOLDIER-y.

"I'm joking," Peter made very clear. "But usually when I think of charity calendar, it's solidly in the cheese or beefcake category, depending on the target audience."

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 20:43:28 UTC

"Well, this one doesn't have to be," Zack decided. Even if, well, the vast majority of the population of the island seemed to place squarely in one category or the other by default anyhow. "People can pose however they're comfortable, and doing whatever. Because this is a school club, we're going to want to keep it clean, at least."

Mostly clean. Passably clean, for Fandom?

Not too dirty.

"Yeah, and what, how many other members are actually of the age of consent?" Peter asked. "Not many. Though I'm sure if we all posed shirtless we might get better sales."

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 20:49:06 UTC

Give Zack just a moment, here. He'd been enrolled in his world's military since he was twelve.

"Age of consent?"

Gaia and Earth were two very different creatures.

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. theotherpeter January 31 2011, 20:52:48 UTC

Peter snapped his fingers. "Age of majority, sorry, mixing up my terms. The age in which the government acknowledges you are an adult as opposed to a minor."

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 20:57:21 UTC

Zack totally didn't look any more enlightened, here.

"Minor?"

That was the flat, kind of baffled tone of a puppy who was realizing that Earth was still weird.

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. theotherpeter January 31 2011, 20:59:36 UTC

"Wow," Peter said. "In the United States, specifically, if you're under the age of eighteen you're considered a minor. You can't buy cigarettes, you're not allowed to vote, you're treated like a child in a lot of ways. Hell, you don't even get full rights until you're twenty-one for a lot of things."

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 21:09:45 UTC

Wow, indeed.

"Eighteen? What makes that the magic number? I'm seventeen, and I don't think I'm some kind of... little kid."

So help him, Zack was actually kind of insulted.

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. theotherpeter January 31 2011, 21:12:48 UTC

"That's just it," Peter said. "It's a magic number. Most things in the United Kingdom, seventeen is adult enough. Here, it's eighteen. Because old people like controlling young ones."

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 21:22:18 UTC

Zack was still frowning as he gave his head a shake.

"I'm okay with being controlled," he said. "I'm in the military. Being told what to do is what I am. But I've never been treated like I was any less than my superior officers just because I was younger than them. I joined SOLDIER five years ago, and any time I was treated like a rookie, it was because I was acting like one."

... Because he was twelve. Come on, Zack.

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. theotherpeter January 31 2011, 21:23:21 UTC

"You... okay, did you join the military, or were you drafted?" Peter asked, suddenly really worried about Zack's world.

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. puppy_fair January 31 2011, 21:33:11 UTC

"I joined," Zack replied, shrugging lightly, as if it was seriously the most natural thing in the world.

... Granted, there were drafts into SOLDIER. And a lot of candidates didn't even survive the treatments that made them into SOLDIER instead of just normal infantry. But Zack? So not one of those guys, so yay?

Re: Discussion - 2011 Calendar - KKG, 01/31. theotherpeter January 31 2011, 21:35:08 UTC

Peter just opened his mouth and then closed it. Then opened it again and then closed it.

"When I was twelve, I'm pretty sure all I wanted to be was a brontosaurus," Peter said.

He wasn't going to get into an ideological argument about the cognitive capacity for pre-teens to make well thought-out decisions. That would get messy.
