Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[scary_jeff]

There was a Jeff watching movies in the common room.

This Jeff was watching very bad old horror movies.

This was a Jeff with a purpose. A Jeff with a plan.

This was a Jeff who was going to win a Film Off, yes.

Ino slipped into the common room, in search of entertainment, and grinned when she saw her big brother watching movies, "Hi Jeff! What are you watching?"

[flowering_mind]

Ino snickered. "I'll just try and manage with my half-life then. It's proved interesting enough so far."

"Well, that's good to hear," Jim said. "Is your dad going to be here this weekend? Because that'll make up for the lack of brochure for him, too."

[flowering_mind]

Ino stared at him like he was crazy. "I really hope he doesn't show."

[fat_halpert]

"Then I'll bribe the mail guy to make sure he doesn't get a belated brochure, either," Jim said.

[flowering_mind]

"What? I don't care if Dad gets a brochure or not. I just don't want him here." Ino waved her hands expressively.

[fat_halpert]

"There's not a mail guy anyway. I just made him up," Jim said.

[flowering_mind]

Ino put her hands on her hips, "Are you always this irritating?"

[fat_halpert]

"Sometimes I'm funnier so people appreciate it more," Jim admitted. "I'm having an off-night."

[flowering_mind]

"Hmph." Ino rolled her eyes, "Why? Worried about parents coming in for the weekend?"

[fat_halpert]

"No, I'm going to be happily parent-free," Jim said. "I think it's because my radio schedule got switched around. I'm used to trying to read squirrel writing at this time. I'm not joking there."

[flowering_mind]

"Oh." Ino shrugged, "I don't listen to the radio that often. And the squirrels are just creepy."

[fat_halpert]

"I agree. I've been shunning them for weeks," Jim said. "I don't actually remember why at this point, but it sounded good at the time."

[flowering_mind]

Ino laughed. "How can you forget why you're avoiding them? Wouldn't that stick in your mind?"

[fat_halpert]

"You know, you talk so much on the radio that eventually it's all just words that you completely forget in time," Jim said.

[flowering_mind]

She looked at him dubiously, "I suppose... but if you're avoiding them, didn't they do something to you?"
