Horror 101, Monday

[chosehumanity]

It had been an incredibly long two weeks.

Not that Mitchell had suffered from the gremlins this weekend: he hadn't come back until late last night, and for some reason, the creatures - like most Fandom weirdness - had given him a wide berth upon sight.

He wasn't going to complain.

"I know you've all had a rough weekend," he started, "So I'm going to make a deal. If you feel the need to talk about what you've done or what's happened to you in the past couple of days, you can. If you don't, I've got a copy of the worst film ever made and a generous supply of tea and coffee."

A beat.

"Either way, I think we're covering horror well enough."

Another beat.

"And yes, Kate, everyone's encouraged to talk through the film. Come on."

This whole 'focusing on other people's problems' thing was getting a bit desperate on his part.

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

Like you survived the weekend. And want tea.

Listen to the... Uh, Whatever It Is

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell's talking a bit, but it's certainly not a lecture. Also, tea. (Or coffee. He'd prefer the coffee.)

After the initial influx of gremlins, Alex had mostly stuck to his room, content to live off candy and whatever else he'd had in there. It wasn't like he'd been alone or anything, cranky as Effy might have been. Didn't bother him that much. It hadn't been that bad a weekend, all things considered.

Shut up.

Rose-the-bobcat had decided to follow Jack to class this morning, and he hadn't objected. Even as a fierce oversized housecat, she was good company.

Somehow, she managed to take up almost as much room on the couch as he did. He idly stroked her ears while he listened to Mitchell talk, grateful the man was keeping things simple today.

Kate was taking advantage of the coffee, yes.

She was also kind of zoning out until she heard her name, at which point she looked up and rolled her eyes at Mitchell.

Emma was perfectly happy to take some tea and curl up in one of the overstuffed chairs to listen to Mitchell. A bad movie sounded just about perfect today.

Alex was grateful of coffee. She was definitely going to have more than one cup, oh yes.

The coffee and comfy chair was making for a very happy Alex. And a bad movie didn't sound so bad in reality.

Good, a movie. Leda slumped in her seat, though not too low cause she didn't want anything touching her injured shoulders.

Tea. Coffee. Right.

Jono was going to just squeeze his eyes shut, try not to project a mental groan, and then thump his head against the back of the seat a few times. And there it was going to stay.

He was more or less thankful that he'd managed to find a turtleneck, after the loss of most of his bandages over the weekend.

Harper wasn't a tea drinker, but the thought of tea sounded really good today. She got settled in her comfy chair and sipped her tea, zoning out instead of really listening to Mitchell.

Talk!

[chosehumanity]

If you feel the need to share your experience from the weekend with the class, and how you managed to make it through.

Re: Talk!

[vanillajello]

"I got bitten," Kate announced to no-one in particular, looking sour about it. Of course, she'd also gotten to use a nice, good-looking guy as her pillow while she napped, which had been nice. But then again, it had been less 'napping' and more 'passing out' and her arm had hurt and yeah.

"This island is horrible and I hate it."

But still not enough to leave, of course.

Watch the Film

[chosehumanity]

Snag a cup of tea or coffee and watch Cemetary Snatchers From Beyond Space, that old classic.

And please, talk. Comment to one another. Make things nice and messy. Mitchell would like some merriment around right now to distract himself.

Re: Watch the Film

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex wasn't going to share his weekend (mostly because there was another person involved and sharing seemed like misstep) but he'd watch the movie, bad or not and allow himself some relaxation.

Re: Watch the Film

Chloe was still really sore from her adventures on Saturday, but she was currently staring at the movie in a kind of fascinated horror.

She couldn't believe someone had actually made this into a movie.

Re: Watch the Film

[bitten_notshy]

This was a horrible movie. It made the "special effects" in 1899 films look like masterworks, and Jack should know.

Rose stopped watching and went to quietly hunt invisible balls of dust about 10 minutes in.

Effy was already in the movie day mindset from her earlier class, so this really wasn't so hard for her. Like lounging on a couch and letting her mind wander away from the discomfort of the weekend's injury.

This one was easily, so easily, mockable, and just the sort of ridiculous, mindless crap she could probably do with on a Monday after gremlins.

Re: Watch the Film

[icecoldfrost]

A bad movie was perfect for today. Emma was going to drink more tea and giggle, and just enjoy herself.

Re: Watch the Film

[furnaceface]

... Okay. Jono couldn't say no to a perfectly terrible old film if his life depended on it. It took him a few moments, but he finally managed to sit up and slouch forward enough to be able to pay attention, somewhat, to what was happening on the screen.

He felt like he'd been run over by a flaming bus. Or at least half the contents of a bookshelf.

Tony clung to a large coffee and watched the movie. He'd seen it before, but he liked watching it. It was so absurdly terrible.

Talk to the TAs

[chosehumanity]

Once they ping in!

Re: Talk to the TAs

[awakestheghosts]

Chloe was indeed here.

Talk to Mitchell

[chosehumanity]

Who's... retreating a bit after handing off instructions.

Re: Talk to Mitchell

[vanillajello]

"You know, I was sure you'd be completely oblivious to the whole invasion thing."

She'd been prepared to whine about his luck, and everything.

OOC

[chosehumanity]

dsfkld;sfklk, new Being Human.

"The king is dead. Long live the king."

Hell of a place to take him, even if I saw it coming. (Also, this post brought to you by Len's new S2 Being Human icons)

Re: OOC

[awakestheghosts]

I really need to watch this show.
