Matt's got a bad headache tonight. One that he's trying to counteract with the maximum dosage of tylenol that a person can take in one sitting.

Other then that, he's trying to be cheerful, because Bar's lent him a movie player that blocks the door nicely, and guess what? She's got Family GuySo one cop, in complete and utter denial, nursing a

Fiyero's never actually seen a movie player or cartoons, which might explain why he walks up behind Matt and tries to peer at the screen inconspiciously.

He's not very good at the 'inconspicious' thing. Blue diamonds all over your body tend to make you stand out.

[hearthethoughts]

Well, Matt's got the volume down low enough to hear people too. He's intently focused on Stewie battling Bertram, his evil half brother, with B52's.

"-Everybody, needs a clownfac-"

He turns quickly, his hand going for the off button and nearly pushing the thing off the table, "-CRUD-CRAP-um- I wasn't watching that."

[arjiki_diamonds]

Fiyero tilts his head curiously.

"...I'm sorry?" He has a fading welt in the middle of his forehead. He's not telling anyone it's from a pinecone, though.

"What is that?"

[hearthethoughts]

Ever see that Austin Powers Sketch with the mole?

WOAH-

Matt blinks, "This? It's Family Guy. The episode where Stewie meets his half brother."

Pause. Matt could say something right now about fiyero looking like a lost Cirque De Soleil member...

Instead he hesitates, "Or did you mean the TV?"

Elspeth does not mean to sneak. It is simply second nature to be silent, her leather boots make no noise as she walks along the floor. Her eyes catch sight of the moving pictures and she stops to... well, stare. "What is that?" She asks outloud to the general bar population as she shifts the hilt of Need higher upon her sholder.

ooc Sorry bout the mismun afore. All fixed now.

[hearthethoughts]

"-Hee Hee. Stewie You little knucklehead-"

Pause.

Woop.

"...It's um-" He turns it off, "...Um...For a case."

He's lying through his teeth.

No worries!

[valdemars_mage]

Elspeth raises an eyebrow. "You are a lawyer then? But what is it?" She won't say that that hardly looked like anything that might be allowed near a courthouse door. Nope.

[hearthethoughts]

"-uh no-"

Matt shuffles his feet under the table as he turns, "...I'm a police officer. I think-" He frowns, "I'm Matt, you look really familiar-"

Because they had a thread? And now Matt's trying to recall.

Seymour is not exactly sneaking up - more like walking behind Matt's table - but sure enough he notices Matt's TV. It's shiny and futuristic and sci-fi-ish. And, once he's done staring at it, he notices what Matt's watching. It's only after he does that does he look to see who's doing the watching.

Oh. It's that guy. Seymour considers leaving, but the tofu curse seems to have lifted for other people....So he stays. Silently. Watching the TV. Because - hey - it's in colour! That's so cool.

[hearthethoughts]

Seymour probably won't think much of the future. Peter just farted, and everybody's laughing. But hey, it's kind of funny.

"-Heh-He-"

You can't escape a psychic seymour. Matt quickly turns the TV off, stares, then offers a small smile, "-Hey Man."

Boy. He tore this kid a new one. Don't think he hasn't forgotten.

"...I-um-um-Normally don't watch cartoons."

[skidrowseymour]

"Oh, uh, hey." Seymour is faintly surprised - he was being unusually quiet. But Matt's a cop, so he's probably very sensitive to when people are watching him.

"Nothing wrong with cartoons," Seymour protests, but not too much because, yeah, there kinda is something wrong with a grown man watching cartoons.

Hence why he launches into talking about the TV in general. It's in colour. I guess all TVs are in colour in the future? I didn't know this place got TV signals."

[hearthethoughts]

"It's a DVD." Matt said. He pressed a button on the front and held up a sleek silver disc, "It-Crap, You're from the past right?"

Shit Shit, Did he just like-step on a proverbial butterfly or something?

"...They're all in color. I got this one from bar, but it's not HGTV or plasma-screen. Color comes about in the...60s. Maybe."

As a great big hairy american winning machine once said, "-

Hey, look at this: someone who actually recognizes Family Guy.

"Hmm. Don't remember this one," remarks the scruffy-looking guy standing behind Matt.

Just...not this episode.

Doesn't stop him from laughing, though. Stewie Griffen will never cease to be funny.

[hearthethoughts]

It's season four now. Lois gets fat and Peter donates Sperm. Ah, Family guy.

Matt looks up sharply, "-It-I-"

He, perhaps takes note of the scruffy, "...Dude, you okay?"

The TV is forgotten. Peter Farts Again. The universe continues to cycle.

[inthetoilet]

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine." Don't worry, Matt; Tim Speedle almost always looks like this. He comes into work constantly with a near-five o'clock shadow.

Okay, so maybe he spent a couple hours napping in a booth, but that's beside the point.

[hearthethoughts]

Matt relates to that, "-Long day?"

He nods in sympathy, "I haven't seen you around before-" And he knows family guy! Maybe they have something in common! Like an earth without dragons! Or Blue people!

He hesitates, "...I haven't seen you around. 're you new?"

Dude. Grab a chair before Matt offers one? He eyes a chair nearby and winces. Dudes don't offer other dudes chairs.
