Mac sits behind the desk reading Soap Opera Digest technical manuals. On a table he's set up coffee, bagles, and assorted pastries for everyone to partake.

"Hey Duo!" John smiles and looks down at his book. "Yeah, project for Quantum Physics. My final. I am so buried under finals, man. How's it going for you?"

"That's the final? That's cool!" He thinks. "Ya know, ordinarily, I would say that time travel isn't possible, but bein' at this school has made me rethink that." He plops down his schematics. "I'm doin' okay. Had history cancelled yesterday on accounta 'rock audition,' whatever that means. I'm workin' on makin' a D-V-D player. I got a D-V-D yesterday and man! They're cool! Just gotta find out what I need for it."

"You're making a DVD player?" John grins. "Now, that's cool. What kind of DVD did you get?"

Duo laughs and slides his half-hazard schematics across to John. "Tryin' to, anyway! I got this D-V-D about this kid who has a really horrible holiday season and he wears a pink bunny suit and gets his tongue stuck to a pole and his dad's got this lamp shaped like a lady's leg and there's a slide when he sees Santa and a BB gun and it's nuts!" He takes a breath. "Oh, hey, man, how'd that interview-project work out? Was it alright?"

"You got A Christmas Story on DVD! That's the greatest movie ever!" John nearly bounces. "It's a classic!"

"And the interview went great. I'm writing up my summary still and it's due on 12/16/05 but you did excellent. And I had fun!"

Duo grins widely. "Yeah! I loved it! It was way funny, and I really want to see lots more of these old American classics and stuff!" He nods excitedly.

"Hey, that's good! Glad I could be of assistance!" He laughs. "I still gotta show you 'Scythe some time, and we gotta go visit your dad!"

"If you liked A Christmas Story, then you've gotta see How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Awesome movie."

"Oh, I definitely wanna see Deathscythe," John says. "And I'll probably be talking to my dad when the holidays get closer so I can ask about a tour and a visit and sending me some of their old equipment."

Duo nods enthusiastically and jots down the title. "Grinch, huh?" He grins.

Then his eyes sort of glaze over as they get huge. "Old equipment?!" He sort of squeaks. "Dude. That is. So cool!" He keeps nodding. "You're the best, man!"

"Yeah, the Grinch is awesome. It's a cartoon which makes it even more awesome because I love cartoons. Great stuff."

"And yeah, old equipment. They don't use all their stuff and sometimes it breaks so I'm sure I could swipe some. I mean, it would be wasteful to just junk it, wouldn't it?"

John makes a couple of notes to himself about asking his father and loaning Duo his copy of The Grinch if he could find it in his mess of a room.

"Cartoon? I love cartoons, too! Sometimes I used to catch Trowa watchin' the ones with that coyote. That was the best because then he'd leave in a huff and let me watch 'em in peace." He laughs.

"Dude, that is really the coolest thing ever!" He nods. "Yeah, and from what I know, the space programs are just overloaded with extra cash, so they prolly don't even use 'em for scrap metal! Definite waste to just junk 'em." He grins. "'Specially when there's guys like us around that would just love to take stuff apart! And I'm no risk considerin' I'm not even from this time period!"
