Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

Jun 24, 2013 18:31

Alec wasn't really a huge common room person, but... well. There was a documentary about werewolves on. And as it turned out, Alec didn't really have it in him to get up and walk away when he saw wrong information being distributed. On the contrary, he felt it was his personal duty to sit there with his sandwich lying forgotten on his plate as he ( Read more... )

There was nothing happening on his floor so Theo went up a floor to check out his neighbors of a sort. There was someone in this common room at least and Theo almost thought he was talking to the air when he realized the television was on.

"What's wrong?" he asked, making his way into the common room and glancing at the TV.

"Nothing," Alec said automatically, misunderstanding the question for a second. "Oh, you mean -- oh. It's just that this TV show is really not right about what it's talking about."

Seriously, werewolves retaining their human faces when they 'transformed'? Who had fact-checked this?

Theo paused and watched for a little while just to see what Alec was even watching. He eventually picked up that it was about werewolves and raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe this is supposed to be fiction?" His first instinct was to say that werewolves were make believe but he couldn't really say that anymore. Not with what he'd done.

"It's a documentary," Alec insisted, pointing the remote at the TV to pull up the little guide that gave a summary of what he was watching. "Which is the first thing I don't understand, because why is this a channel? Where I'm from, and I thought in most worlds, people don't even know about werewolves."

Victor came in, claimed a bag of pretzels out of the cupboard, and flopped into a chair.

"Let me guess, History channel is not photo-realistic about werewolves?" he asked, after the third time Alec declared something wrong.

"You guessed it," Alec confirmed. "Is it weird that I'm finding it so annoying?"

ultron_junior June 25 2013, 01:29:01 UTC

Victor considered it. "Are you going to get offended if I say yeah, it's kind of weird?" he asked.

not_trivial June 25 2013, 01:33:52 UTC

"No," Alec sighed, because he'd expected to have that suspicion confirmed. "I think it's weird too. I don't even know any werewolves. I mean, personally."
