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."

Looooooooong pause.

"Did you sleep on my brother's boyfriend?" Peter asked, faux-idly. "Because I'm not helping you stalk the guy."

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"I don't wanna stalk him," Topher sniffed. "He smells like laundry."

Duh, Peter. Duh.

"Except maybe less than usual this week."

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"I don't want to know," Peter said succinctly. Because it needed to be said.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"Can you just make the crying stop?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"No."

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"I hate you," Topher moaned.

A beat.

"But mostly Ben. And Warren. For breaking my nose."

It had been a nosebleed. Drama queen.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"Now what did you do?" Peter asked without missing a beat. He knew Topher by now.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"I just wanted a ride!"

And Warren... hadn't.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"You tried to ride Warren." You'd be forgiven for thinking that the way Peter reached for his mouth was a case of severe consternation or sympathy or whatever, but the truth was he was just trying to hide the hysterical laughter.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"...well, yeah. Wouldn't you?"

He was awfully fluffy.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"I can-- honestly say-- that the thought-- has never occurred to me," Peter managed.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"Are you laughing at me!?"

Topher was so offended. So offended. See, just look at that icon.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"No, it's the crying," Peter said helpfully, "It's killing me, too."

Now that was a wonderful display of sincerity!

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"You're an assface," Topher pronounced.

And then he breathed in the scent of the shirt, perhaps more loudly than he'd meant to. He was never taking it off. Never.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"Is that how we talk to our friends?" Peter wondered. Then pulled a face. "Topher, what the hell are you doing?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

Topher hesitated. "Um," he said muffled. "Nothing."

Lies.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

Peter reached out and tugged the shirt down off of Topher's face. "Want to try that one again?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

"...itsmellsnicedon'tjudgeme."

Good luck with that one, Topher.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"...Is that Tony's?"

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

Topher hesitated.

"No."

Liar.

Well. It certainly wasn't one of Topher's usual sweater vests. So there was a giveaway in and of itself.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

Peter facepalmed. "Topher, this has got to end!"

The subtle approach clearly wasn't working.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

Topher retreated back into the shirt. Because that was what normal people did. Obviously.

"Shut up," he mumbled. "Smells nice."

There was an effective approach if there'd ever been one.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"You keep that up, Tony is going to slap you with a restraining order," Peter told him, "And he wouldn't be wrong."

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[dollpocalypse]

Or the suit would. Same thing.

"He doesn't care I have it, though!"

That was almost definitely false.

Re: Watch the Movie - DBE [10]

[lockestheway]

"Did you ask him?"
