All-Sexuality Support Group: A Classroom, Thursday After Classes

[mississippiqueen]

Emmett had kept the decor to a tasteful minimum today: the desks had been pushed back to the walls of the classroom and the empty space in the center was filled with colorful (okay, some were glittery) throw pillows for lounging and watching the projection-tv up near the front.

"In the tradition of goof-offs everywhere," he began, "And because some of us apparently had kind of a stressful weekend, we present to you... Movie Day!"

Gabrielle, who was responsible for the presence of large bags of kettle corn, had her best trying-to-pull-a-fast-one-on-you smile on. "It's really a time-honored tradition." Right, because people needed to have a movie day justified to them, ever. "I haven't actually seen this one, but --"

She held up the DVD case, displaying the title Just Look At My Pom-Poms! "I've been told it's pretty good."

Emmett eyed the brightly-colored case. "I've been told you can hide your eyes during the lesbian sex scenes and still appreciate the plot."

Gabrielle eyed Emmett and, in complete seriousness, asked, "Why would you want to hide your eyes . . . never mind. Just go put this in, will you?"

"That's what he said!"

Watch the Movie!

[mississippiqueen]

Which involves Our Heroine and her titular Pom-Poms (...sorry, had to be done) being sent to a gay re-education camp with less than sparkling results. See above re: lesbian sex scenes.

"...people get sent to camps for this?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

Jack tilted his head to the side, trying to make the movie make sense. "It's like a cult."

A pause. "What does cheerleading have to do with it?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin turned and stared. "Do you think this is what cheerleaders do here?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

"I've never had the first idea what they do at their meetings," Jack volunteered. "Maybe?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...that's horrible." No one was allowed near cheerleaders now. None of this cult... thing.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

"If this is really what it's like," Jack nodded, and tried to think. "I'm trying to remember if I even know any cheerleaders. I think my big sister when I got here was one."

And now he was wondering about Savannah.

Re: Watch the Movie!

"Well, as long as they don't try it here."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

Jack glanced around the room. "We'd win in a fair fight."

Cheerleaders probably worried about breaking nails and ruining their hair.

"How have you been?" he asked. "Make it through last weekend all right, all of that?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Less blue," Merlin replied. "Which I suppose counts for a lot. You?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

"Shorter." That came with a slight grimace -- Jack wouldn't have minded keeping his other self's height. "Less American. You were blue?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"And very hairy," Merlin replied. "I kept trying to tell people they were the king of England."

"...less American?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

"The person I turned into was from Wisconsin," Jack shrugged. "He would have liked to hear he was king of something, I think."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...then it's a good thing I never found him. I would have probably tried to give him a sword."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

Jack choked out a laugh, considering that. "He would have waved it around to impress a girl and cut someone up by accident."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"And then you'd be all sorts of cross with me."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bitten_notshy]

"And I'm quite fierce when I'm cross."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I live in fear of it," Merlin admitted with a nod.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"What?" Katchoo quipped, mostly to see if he'd jump. "You think they get sent there for the thrill of the bug bites?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...they never did that in the camp we went to." He was manfully facing his fear.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Aww. You go, Merlin! Katchoo snorted a laugh. "If they tried to do that at the camp we went to, half the frikkin' school would be having some serious issues with it."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Does it actually work?" No, he hadn't gotten to the moral of the movie yet.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"No, and anybody who thinks so oughta be beaten and strung up preferably naked and in clown makeup in the front window at Macy's." Whoa there with the aggro, Chewie.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Great, now Merlin feared for his manly bits again. "...right."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo leaned back in her chair and gave him a slightly toothy grin. "How you doin', Ears? Seen anything interesting lately?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, make him turn red. "Oh, ha ha. Been talking to Arthur?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

But that had been half the idea! "Maaaaaaaaaaybe." Look, it got her mind off of the weekend. "Or, y'know, I could just be wondering all on my own."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You could be messing with me too," Merlin countered just a bit sulkily.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"I could," Katchoo conceded. "'cept I think there's a couple of people I can name who'd like you to stay in one piece."

She counted herself there, actually. 'A couple' was conveniently vague around the edges.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"How have you been?" Merlin asked, rolling his eyes only a little bit.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo shrugged one shoulder carefully. "I've been a hell of a lot worse. You'd know my basis for comparison here. Weekend was . . ." She shook her head. "You get through that okay?"

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I was blue and hairy and kept telling people they were the king of England."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

". . . and now I'm sorry I didn't run into you over the weekend."

Maybe if you hadn't been HOLED UP MOPING, Katchoo.

What? She wouldn't have minded being temporary weekend royalty. Although now she was picturing Merlin as some kind of psychedelic Sasquatch with highly developed vocal cords.

"I dunno. I might like you a little better this way, though."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"And I was Welsh!" Merlin added with a bright grin, bumping her with his shoulder. "Are you--alright? Francine mentioned who she turned into."

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine watched the camp and the intervention scenes before it in a half-interested, half-cringing way. "God, those parents." Her mom... was not going to approve. But Francine couldn't believe she'd ever do something like that.

Re: Watch the Movie!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo . . . spent most of the movie throwing popcorn at the screen, actually. It was either that or yell a lot, and while she had no problem with that, she figured she'd hear it from Francine if she did.

She kept kind of hoping that some of the kettle corn would stick, but noooooooo.
