Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday evening

[craftyladyparts]

Jessica didn't really feel like checking out whatever was on TV tonight, but it seemed as though the Syfy was calling to her. She could barely resist flipping over to see what motion picture atrocity they were showing tonight.

It was worse than she could have imagined. It seemed there was a marathon of Sarnac Lake movies on tonight. And, okay,

Tony was in need of food that wasn't left over pizza and chips. Which meant it was time to go to a common room to microwave something.

"...is this that movie with Betty White?" No, Tony. Only one of them was. And it wasn't this one.

"I don't think she's in this one, but god I hope she's in this one," Jessica said. "It would make this be less of a train wreck and more... well, of a train wreck starring Betty White, I guess."

Tony leaned against the back of a couch, staring at the TV. "This is... really a train wreck, you're right."

[craftyladyparts]

"And in this case, the train wrecks four times. Because they made at least four of these. FOUR, Tony. FOUR," Jessica said.

[hoorayimrich]

"Hey, the first one was pretty good." No it wasn't, Tony.

[craftyladyparts]

"Keep telling yourself that, boss," Jessica said. "If you can convince yourself, then it's true to you."

[hoorayimrich]

Tony responded by maturely sticking his tongue out at her. "You're a terrible employee. Totally firing you."

[craftyladyparts]

"You do and I'll sure. This is discrimination against people with decent taste in movies," Jessica said. "The sad thing is, it's not even good taste you'll get sued over. Just 'decent.'"

[hoorayimrich]

"I'm sure we'll settle out of court," Tony assured her. He knew the score.

[craftyladyparts]

"We better, or else we'll end up as characters in the next movie," Jessica said.

[hoorayimrich]

"...a movie about us sounds a little terrifying, to be honest."

[craftyladyparts]

"Are you kidding? It would be great. The adventures of a spunky girl who jokes about things and her boss who has horrible taste in movies? And then, crocodiles? I'd see it five times," Jessica said.

[hoorayimrich]

"Would the crocodiles explode?"

[craftyladyparts]

"At the end of the movie, probably," Jessica said.

Tony held out a hand for a high-five at that. "I'll have my people call your people."

[craftyladyparts]

"You realize that my people are just me trying to disguise my voice, right?" Jessica asked as she slapped five.

And actually, that was a damned lie. Her people were Nick Fury. Yes, he counted as multiple people because he was Nick Fury.
