Don't Be Evil [Friday, Second Period]

[thefearwasreal]

The Danger Shop was set up like an old style movie theatre today, complete with ushers with popcorn and drinks in the aisles.

"Given that some of you have recently become parents, I figured we'd take things easy with a movie day today," Oz told them by way of greeting. "But not just any film. This is a hard hitting film about journalistic ethics, sexual jealousy, fraud, government corruptions, and frame-jobs. So I want you all to follow along closely and to deeply consider some of the issues raised."

"I won't be flying through it, if that's what you're asking. My wings wouldn't even clear that."

And, you know, they were capable of walking.

"I just want to leeeeeave," Topher whimpered. "Piggyback?"

AGAIN, TOPHER: NO.

"That worked out so well for you last night, didn't it?"

It wasn't that Warren couldn't carry Topher. Warren could carry four Tophers all at the same time, if he had a mind to.

It was that there was no way in hell that he was going to carry Topher, unless the guy was mortally wounded or something.

And even then...

Hey now, Warren. Topher could be a useful guy to have around.

If you wanted to end the world.

Okay, point.

"Just get me out of here," he moaned.

Warren sighed and scooted up a little, taking a look around to see if anyone was looking their way. And then he schootched back down again and nodded toward the aisle.

"I think we can slip out that way," he hissed. "If anyone asks, we're looking for home remedies for Danger Shop colic."

Yes. That was a perfectly valid excuse.

"Okay," Topher whispered back, sliding out of his seat and onto the floor. "Okay. Crawling. C'mon. Shhhhh."

This was the worst idea ever.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[wwiii]

"Uh, right. I'm right behind you, Topher."

Standing up. And walking. Because god only knew what was on the floor of a cinema, even back in old timey-wimey days, and there were some things that even Warren wouldn't stoop to.

Unless there was drinking involved.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"'s sticky," Topher complained as he crawled toward the back.

Yes. That happened sometimes.

"Are we there yet?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[wwiii]

"Judging by how quickly you're going on your hands and knees, and how far we are from the exit at the moment, I'd say we'll probably make it there within five or six minutes of the end of class."

Give or take.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"Fuck."

A beat.

"Should I stand up?"

MAYBE.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[wwiii]

"I'd say so, yes."

Warren was the most helpful! Ever!

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"'Kay."

So he did. It was a wise choice.

"Exit?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[wwiii]

"That way," Warren pointed, displaying a remarkable level of patience with someone who had spent a large portion of the night trying to convince Warren to let him eat his wings. "It's the one marked, 'Exit.'"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

He hadn't tried to convince him. Just, you know. Tried to eat them regardless.

"Good call," Topher observed, heading for the door.

And limping. He didn't even want to know what that was about.
