[ Good evening, Mask or Menacians.

Today, you'll be treated to the chaos that is Nonah 005 on a movie night. On camera are the Pines twins, a tiny wizard, a minotaur, a wannabe Arthur Fonzarelli, and some kid with Troll doll hair. But most prominently shown is one Ken Amada, who you might recognize as "that kid with the dog" or "the forty year old man trapped in a twelve year old's body." Kittens wander in and out of the area, while Koromaru sits comfortably at the cameraman's hip.

Barely audible in the background is the noise of explosions and gunfire -- but don't be concerned. That's probably just the movie. Probably. More troubling is the way the Fonz and the Troll are bickering over the gratuitous violence while everyone patiently ignores the hell out of them. Well, everyone except Ken, who seems to be gritting his teeth.

Quietly, Star-Lord, our illustrious cameraman, murmurs into his device as he zooms in on Ken. ] Some shit's about to go down. You see that vein popping out on his forehead? That's the vein of someone who's gonna snap.

[ The teens' arguing goes on for another half a minute, during which time Ken seems to become more and more irate. When their squabbling finally reaches a crescendo, the kid rounds on them. ]

Would you two shut the fuck up?!

[ And just like that, the room goes deathly silent -- save for a timely record scratch, courtesy of the film they were trying to watch.

And then, Peter Quill starts cackling. ]

Oh my God, I'm totally posting this.

(( cover your ears, children. expect a whole lot of threadhopping. ))

Are you making fun of a ten year old?

[ Sorry, Ken. Next time she'll ask first.

It might have been cute or funny initially, but the reaction in here is getting a little uncomfortable. ]

He's twelve.

Unless you're talking about Peter, in which case he's mentally ten.

[boobwindow]

That doesn't make it any better, though.

[animated]

I'm just clarifying.

But no, I'm with you. This shouldn't even be on the network in the first place. Getting a little ribbing from his friends is one thing, but this is too much.

[boobwindow]

I agree he shouldn't be resorting to swear words, but at the same time who's that surprised a kid in this day and age knows it?

[animated]

Considering the people we live with- [ he casts a deliberate glance over his shoulder to the Iron Bull and the two chuckleheads whose bickering caused Ken's outburst in the first place ] -it was bound to happen sooner or later.

[boobwindow]

You sound like a rational person, at least.

[ Protect the small children, Charlie. ]

[animated]

Hah. I think I'm pretty much cemented as house dad at this point.

[ He's sure got his work cut out for him. ]

[boobwindow]

Not necessarily a bad thing.

[ At least Ken's got someone who won't make fun of him for something so trivial. ]

And if I were caught listening to two people argue non-stop during a movie I'd have some strong words myself.

[ only sort of here ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ over his shoulder, ]

Nine, thank you.

I don't appreciate you tryin' to make me out to be more mature than I am.

[amadaman]

Twelve.

[Getting that taken care of immediately and then]

Sorry. I usually don't talk like this. Sorry about the video, um--

[He drops his head in his hands. Woe is he.]

[boobwindow]

What are you apologizing for?

[ She sounds annoyed, but it's not directed at Ken. ]

[amadaman]

[Yikes this girl snaps like Yukari. Ken blinks.]

... Swearing?

[boobwindow]

You shouldn't be swearing, true, but you've got enough to deal with that I'll say you've learned your lesson.

[amadaman]

Ah... I suppose. I wouldn't be swearing, anyway.

[Not because it's a "bad thing" but because he doesn't need it. He doesn't really care about the swearing, whether it's by other people or not, but getting taped?

Nah.]

[boobwindow]

Anyone would go a little nuts if someone was arguing during a movie.

[amadaman]

I guess.

Movies are nothing though. Not as bad as bickering during life-endangering missions.

[ie his senpais back home would only shut up when their local ice queen glared at them]

[boobwindow]

Life-endangering missions?

permavid;

[nostalgiabomb]

Who's making fun?

Certainly ain't me. I, for one, thought that was the greatest thing ever.

[ He is also, apparently, inclined to hyperbole. ]

Also, I'm pretty sure the kid's, like, secretly forty.

[boobwindow]

As you can see this kid looks pretty horrified now.

[nostalgiabomb]

I'm pretty sure that's mostly 'cause some dickwad yelled at him for swearing.

Personally, I think he needs to yank that stick outta his ass.

[ A pause. ]

The dickwad, not the kid. The kid's fine.

[boobwindow]

None of that would have happened if you hadn't posted it in the first place.

[ Well, she can see where the language problem is coming from. Peter. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ WHAT.

A DICK IS A PART OF ANATOMY.

THAT'S JUST BIOLOGY. ]

This was a momentous occasion that had to be shared. Like a baby's first bite of solid food, or the first time someone catches a fish.

[boobwindow]

[ A flat look in return. ]

So this kid's going to go on to be embarrassed and yelled at by friends or even strangers, but it's totally okay with you?

[nostalgiabomb]

Lady, I'm not a total prick.

Friends give each other shit. Part of being friends.

As for the turdmunch who's giving Ken hell for saying a word that everyone and their mom's probably said at least once? They need to loosen the hell up.
