2nd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[abitlowkey]

The television was on in the common room. And there was a tiny god watching it.

That was not the strange part of what was happening, though. The strange part was what was on the television. It was a channel that proclaimed itself to be 'Logo' and the players upon the stage were men in dresses and made up as though they were women.And yelling at

Anna wandered into the common room--and stopped in the doorway, staring in confusion at the television.

After a moment she found her voice. "What on Earth?"

"I think, perhaps, the players of this troop had no women to act the parts," Loki said, head tilted curiously as the ladies on the screen applied make up. "They are quite good at the illusion."

A beat.

"Especially this Kenya Michaels."

Anna blinked a few times, then remembered, vaguely, something from her actual high school experience. Back in the fifties. "Oh," she said. "Like Shakespeare?" They didn't look very Shakespearean...

[abitlowkey]

It made perfect sense, Anna. Perfect sense.

"Not... precisely."

Bobby was wandering the common rooms in search of junk food, when he saw-

"Oh." Cue bitchface. "It's you."

[abitlowkey]

"And it is you as well," Loki replied, one eyebrow going up. His elder self had been... less forthcoming about the source of this grudge.

[longislandiceme]

"I'm surprised you haven't tried to level the place yet," Bobby complained.

[abitlowkey]

"And lose my rooms?" Loki asked coolly. "I believe that would be a mistake."

Bruce had done a terrible job being a 'big sibling' so far this semester. So when he was heading back to his room after a quick run around town, heard the TV on the second floor, and saw who was in the common room, he decided to make a detour.

"Good evening, everyone," Bruce said. And then he took a quick look at the TV itself. "...What are you watching?"

[abitlowkey]

"It is called 'RuPaul's Drag Race'," Loki replied brightly. "They are quite upset with one another."

Which was a nice way of saying there were bitchfights going on.

[willbethenight]

"Any punches thrown so far?" Bruce asked. "Or wig-pulling?"

Loki zeroed in on how to get Bruce interested pretty quickly.

[abitlowkey]

"Just slander as of yet." Though he cheered to the thought of a fistfight erupting. It could be interesting while they wore heels.

"Huh, what?" Tara asked, with a little wave as she wandered in and started looking for tea. "... are you watching RuPaul?"

She ... shouldn't have been surprised.

[abitlowkey]

"You know who it is?" Oh god, Tara. Run while you still can.

[life_inshadow]

"Kind of?" Tara ventured. "It's a TV show about ... men who dress up as women."

she found the tea, plunked bag in cup. "Most of them are, um, b-better at girly stuff than I am."

[abitlowkey]

Loki looked from her to the television to give that serious thought. "Some. Others less so."

As always, whenever he crossed the threshold into a common room, Butters Stotch paused for a moment and looked around. Far too often, it seemed that he was magically whisked away to a common room not of his intent, so his arms went up and he did a little dance when he recognized the location he wanted to get to.

"Whoo-hoo!" he sang. "Second floor!"

He dropped his arms and looked toward the television to see what was on.

His arms went up again. "Oh, boy! Drag queens!"

If only he'd remembered to bring his heels...

[abitlowkey]

"...they do not have any crowns," Loki replied. As it seemed to be the only thing he could come up with.

[geewhizfellas]

"Bitch, please," said Butters cheerfully, giggling as he plopped excitedly into a chair. "You don't need a crown to be a queen."

[abitlowkey]

"Is that so?" WHY WAS HE LISTENING TO THE IDIOT BOY?
