Problem Solving and You! - Thursday
The tavern was there once more, but the difference lay in the fact that an old school movie projector was set up in the back. Which seemed normal.
"Movie daaaay!" Magnus said. "That's what you wanted, right?"
"Magnus picked the movie," Cara, who was refusing to acknowledge this latest round island's bullshit, said. "Something about valuable life lessons."
"Also, cartoons interacting with the real world," Magnus added. "Like a Paula Abdul video."
"I'm going to pretend that made sense." Look, even now there were still significant gaps in her pop culture knowledge.
Magnus was getting her there. With his very particular set of pop culture references. "We can watch it later," he promised.
That hadn't been what Cara had intended. "Fine."
Magnus replied with a quiet little, "Yaaaay," as he started the movie.

Well. He'd have plenty of time to think about it, as he went and got settled in for another movie, crossing his arms in front of him, adjusting those arms to compensate yet again, and only really paying half attention as he tried to think of what he could do after class to feel like he hadn't just wasted half his day sitting around, watching movies...

"Hello," she said in a muuuuch deeper voice than usual. "At least I'm better looking, still, than T'Challa?"
Re: Watch the Movie
"Can confirm," he said, once the growl worked its way out of his system, and he figured that was the safest response in such tumultuous and...awkward ground.
But he still couldn't help but add, "On account of you not looking like a cow."

Cutely.
"Well," he said, with stout resolution, "don't get used to it. I'm sure everythimg'll be back to tip-top shape any day now..."
These sorts of things didn't last long all summer, after all, so why should this be any different? Just had to ride it out and ignore it as best he could in the meantime.

The science, Wayne. The science.

"Now how'd you suppose you'd go about tryin' to figgur ouwt something like that, anyhow?"
Re: Watch the Movie
She'd thought about this, Wayne. It's okay to be scared.

"We know anyone who can talk to birds?" he asked, since he wasn't too sure about that first part. After all, they'd've already switched, wouldn't they? It's just be a bunch of ruffling feathers.
