Fifth Floor Common Room: Friday Evening

[notaweenie]

After going to class and doing some work out at the warehouse, Barry decided to take a break and settle in for a bad night of SyFy movies. Settling into the common room, he saw that someone had put out cake and an ice cream bar

Gwen was already bored of not having someone in her room to hang out with, so to the common room it was... and she was expecting none of this.

"Are we having a very weird party?" she asked.

[notaweenie]

"Beats me. But someone I know is on the TV and she's a horrible fucking actor," Barry said trying to get the remote to change the channel. "Food was already laid out when I got here."

[stacyexperiment]

Gwen looked at the food and shrugged, immediately going for cake. Because it's cake. "It's ours now," she said, and looked back at the TV. "What are you watching?"

[notaweenie]

"It's called Fandom Chicken," Barry said frowning as he checked the batteries in the remote. "And it looks like it was filmed in one of the common rooms. The girl in the chicken suit still lives on the island but she looks a lot younger there."

"This looks worse than Open Circuit," Alana observed, glancing at the screen as she went toward the kitchen. "What's with the guy in the mask?"

[notaweenie]

"I'm not sure," Barry frowned. "He doesn't seem integral to the plot."

[not_a_moonie]

"Then I bet he's the villain," Alana advised. "Right? Isn't the extra character always secretly evil?"

That conclusion drawn, she grabbed a nag of chips and waved them toward Barry. "Want some of these?"

[notaweenie]

"Or royalty in disguise," Barry said with a shrug. He looked at the bag of chips and nodded. "I'll take some of those. I haven't had any junk food in a couple of days."

Sparkle didn't usually come up this far. He had second-floor pride for life and everything he usually needed was down there. But a loud proclamation from down the hall about somebody being 'THE SPOOOOON AVENGER' had him taking a quick detour from his trip up to the roof for a smoke.

And he was going to stay for the cake, too.

"The hell is going on in here?"

Yeah. Already helping himself to the cake, too. Did he care who it belonged to? Did he look like the kind of guy who cared who it belonged to?

[notaweenie]

Nope. Not one bit.

"It's called Fandom Chicken. I've decided to call it awesome," Barry said behind his plate of finished cake. "Or at least better than SyFy movies."

[myownface]

"Fandom Chicken," Sparkle replied, and then snorted. "Is that when people actually have the choice to be here and then the one to last here the longest without freaking out, running off, or dying is the winner?"

Sounded accurate.

[notaweenie]

"Apparently it's the love story between a chicken and a coal monster who kicks down pillow forts," Barry explained. "It's hypnotic..."

Cecil came in and waved. "Hi, little sib!" He eyed the TV. "Documentary or drama?" He was learning it was important to ask these things.
