Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[notqueenyet]

It had been entirely too long since Aravis had truly appreciated her insomnia.

Which was why Tuesday evening found her curled up on the couch with a truly spectacular and moddable array of candy before her, and her dog lounging at her feet. Aravis hadn't settled on anything to watch, so she just plaintively flipped through channels, appreciating a

Wearing pajamas and bringing popcorn with him, Teddy was looking forward to some horrible Scifi Channel original movies tonight.

Imagine his surprise when there was someone else in the room. And he was in his pajamas. That had Spider-Man on the shirt.

Crap. "Hello."

[notthehulk]

"Are you from the past?" Teddy asked, nibbling on the popcorn.

"Another world, actually," she corrected, "but similar enough to what I can gather to be the middle ages of this world's past."

[notthehulk]

"Weird." There was a pause as Teddy's eyes went big. "I mean, not like you're weird, but... you know. The past. I'd die without TV or my PSP."

[notqueenyet]

"What's a PSP?" she wondered.

[notthehulk]

"It's a hand held videogame."

It might break his heart if Aravis didn't know what that was.

"...aren't they all handheld?" she asked, miming how one might play a video game in front of a television.

[notthehulk]

Aravis looked suitably impressed. "Every time I think I know everything about the technological advancement of this world, someone tells me something like that."

[notthehulk]

Teddy laughed. "They keep updating here. At least you've gotten used to TV pretty well. That has some of the best things."

[notqueenyet]

"And I like movies, too! In theaters," she told him, grinning. "With the very very large...television-things."

[notthehulk]

Teddy did a little geek flail. "Oh! Oh! If you like things exploding, you have to see Ratman The Shadowy Samurai!"

[notqueenyet]

"I do?" she asked, raising her brows. "Many explosions in that one, then?"

[notthehulk]

"And fighting," Teddy replied excitedly. "I have it on my computer if you wanted to see."

Mmm, bootlegged DVDs.

[notqueenyet]

"Computers can play movies?" she asked, eyes widening.

[notthehulk]

Teddy blinked a little at that. "Well... yeah."
