Hand-To-Hand Combat & Self Defense, Tuesday

"So, I know we did a movie last week, but Mr. Hansen couldn't make it in today, so we've got another easy day," Raleigh said. "Better than a day spent doing laps, right?"

And he even picked a fun movie! With a vague connection to the subject.

"Next time I'll make popcorn," Raleigh promised, putting the DVD in.

Who didn't love violence?

Alana really didn't get this movie -- it just wasn't her type of story at all -- but at least the guy in it was pretty. She decided to focus on that and not on the blood and guts.

"Hey," Raleigh said, shifting over to one of the desks closer to her.

"Hey back," Alana said, with a distracted half-smile. "I don't get this movie. Are we supposed to like the main guy?"

"I think so?" He was do not at the stage where he got the underlying themes beyond punching people. "More than the other guy at least."

"Huh," Alana said thoughtfully. "I don't like the part with the support groups. People who are really sick go to those, you know?"

"Maybe the lesson is that no one is a good person?" Which was a real downer, if you asked him.
not_a_moonie: ([neu] oh yeah?)

[personal profile] not_a_moonie 2013-11-12 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe," Alana granted. "The guy with the tits is pretty good, right? Maybe you can only be good if you're a little dumb."

This was also a downer.

"...maybe a happier movie next time I get to pick."

Just maybe!

"Well," Alana said, trying to make him feel better, "it does match the class, so that's good!"

"Fighting isn't always messed up like that," Raleigh insisted. "Yancy and I get into fights all the time."

Good natured and brotherly fights usually, so...

"Like, you hit each other?" Alana asked, intrigued. "Who usually wins?"

Re: Watch the Movie

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-11-12 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yancy.

"We both do. It's mostly just rough housing."
not_a_moonie: ([neu] abashed)

Re: Watch the Movie

[personal profile] not_a_moonie 2013-11-12 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
If Alana suspected 'we both do' meant Yancy -- and she did -- she was smart enough not to point that out. Instead, she nodded.

"So after this class, you'll be able to pull out some sick moves and take him by surprise," she said. "Is that why you took it?"

Re: Watch the Movie

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-11-12 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Because she was kind like that.

"Well, I can't let him get lazy."
not_a_moonie: ([pos] adorable)

Re: Watch the Movie

[personal profile] not_a_moonie 2013-11-12 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Alana snorted her amusement.

"I bet," she said. "Hey ... so, we should hang out sometime."

Smoothest segue ever.

Raleigh was totally wooed by it, at least!

"Maybe a better movie?" he suggested.

"I could pick it this time?" Alana suggested slyly. "You doing anything tomorrow night?"

Re: Watch the Movie

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-11-12 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Definitely," he agreed with a quick grin of his own. "I can bring food."

"And I'll be waiting in my room," Alana nodded. "It's a plan."

Billy was not, actually, a fan of violent movies, and he spent a good part of the movie flinching at all the punching. Apparently, learning defense himself didn't make him happier about watching people fight.

Most of the movie was culturally specific and went right over Mordin's head, but he did pick up on the ill-defined anti-consumerist vibe. He hardly agreed, and found the brutish punching matches as a solution to be a little too krogan for his tastes. All in all, not his favorite human film so far.

I did not get coffee today.

I knows that feels. :( (It's pseudo-Monday so I don't get coffee until after I go down and tell all the fresh-faced new employees about how the world will end if they shred that memo before its time.)

IDGAF what you shred, wrong-stater. (Actually your agency is lah-di-dah special and partially immune to my agency's rules even in our state. :-P)

Former agency! Now we keep three years worth of records in facility and everything else sent down state for them to deal with.

Your current agency is the one with immunities on our side of the border! [Our version of] your former agency isn't exempt; they're just a freaking mess, which I'm sure surprises you not at all.

Oh, my state. ITS MAGICAL.
