Second floor common room [Evening]

[emo_padawan]

Anakin had spent most of the day brooding meditating and replaying the trip to Coruscant in his mind.

The thoughts it had led to had been entirely too depressing.

That's why he had migrated up to the second floor common room and commandeered the television set.

Not that the last Space Battles prequel was any less depressing, but he could keep

Sam walked into the common room and caught a look at the television. "What am I looking at?"

"Oh, and hi, Anakin. Welcome back."

[emo_padawan]

Anakin smiled. "It's good to be back." He waved at the television. "This is Space Battles. It's kind of terrible but I can't stop watching it. The story of Dark Helmet is strangely compelling."

[carter_i_am]

"Dark Helmet?" Sam asked, perching on the arm of one of the chairs. "What makes it so compelling, and oh my god, is that what they're calling a gun?"

[emo_padawan]

Anakin snickered. "See? The entire franchise hinges on the whiny guy with the mohawk. I don't get it. He's not that interesting."

In a completely unsurprising move, Hamlet wandered down to the second floor common room. Except this time, he may have brought a bag of chips with him, as though expecting to find someone watching TV.

"Space Battles? I don't believe I've seen this one yet. Did the dialogue get any better than in the previous films?"

[emo_padawan]

"No," Anakin said. "I kinda want to throw things at the Dark Helmet guy, too. I mean, who turns evil because someone's going to hurt your puppy? That's totally stupid."

[ihatedenmark]

Hamlet shook his head and tsk-tsked the screen. "That's a rather shallow reason for one to turn evil on. Couldn't Lucas George devise any better reason than that?"

[emo_padawan]

"He wrote the dialogue with what's-his-face and that girl that actually included 'I love you like I'm blind,'" Anakin said, rolling his eyes. "I'm sure he thought the snake was a stroke of genius."

Callisto flopped down on the nearest couch and gave an unenthused grunt.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin gave her a worried look. "How're you doing?"

[psycho_barbie]

"Men arr still bastards," Callisto replied.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin frowned. "On behalf of men, I feel like I should say 'nuh uh.'"

After spending time cleaning out Amy's cage, Willow was up for some non-ratty company. She went wandering until she found a common room with people in it. "Hey, Anakin!"

[emo_padawan]

"Hey, Willow!" Anakin grinned. "How are you?"

[willbedone]

"Eager to do things that don't involve wood chips," Willow replied. "You?"

[emo_padawan]

Anakin blinked. "You were carving something?"

[bridge_carson]

Bridge wanders in to the common room and sprawls on a couch.

"Heeey people!" he waves.

[emo_padawan]

"Hey, Bridge," Anakin replied with a small wave.

[bridge_carson]

"What is this?" Bridge says, peering at the screen.

[emo_padawan]

"Space Battles," Anakin said. "The last one. Third one. Whatever. It's still terrible."
