[ Movie marathons on the network seem to be a thing now don’t they? Glitch and Hiro have finally decided that life has sucked enough for them that they would rather watch other people’s fictional misery.

Hiro mostly doesn’t care what they watch, so he asked Glitch to bring something and then set up the living room of Aunt Cass’ place for viewing. Popcorn, gummi bears, the works. He’s even hauled in every pillow and beanbag he owns to make a den of cushions they can get lost in if necessary. (It often is when Hiro watches horror movies, as loathe as he is to admit it…)

Glitch pulls out a dvd from his bag and all but tosses the bag aside. His comm spills out unnoticed and both teens come into view as the thing begins to air live. ]

Didn’t really know what was good but I surfed the internet a bit and people said this was apparently really fucking good and A+ material. Figured out how to do that whole torrenty thing, so, ta-dah- free movie.

[The DVD is just in one of those standard no name cases on a plain old dvd. Unceremoniously Glitch will just shove the DVD into the player. Meanwhile, Hiro rolls his eyes affectionately. ]

Hey, good job. You caught up with the 21st century. C’mon, what’d you get us anyway?

[ The answer makes itself clear very quickly: some troll has replaced their crappy horror film with something even more horrifying. A home video of someone giving birth. Mercifully, Hiro knocks Glitch’s comm over before much gets broadcasted, although the comm still has a great view of their horrified reactions. Hiro is immediately yanking off his glasses so he doesn’t have to see any more details. ]

What the hell did you download!?

[Glitch is probably the worst of them. His mouth a gape as a hollowesc scream escapes his mouth. He has the curse of twenty twenty vision. What is his life?]

I DON’T EVEN FUCKING KNOW! I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME SHIT CALLED SQUIRRELNAMI! HOW WOULD I-OH MY GOD, WHAT’S COMING OUT OF HER?!

[There might be the sound of a woman screaming in pain at this point. It may be joined by Glitch’s own frightened yelling. He only manages between yells to direct a question they both desperately need answered: ]

SPIKES, HOW DO YOU TURN THIS SHIT OFF?!

[tadeadshi]

As much as we make, you couldn't have offered to buy it?

[microbrobotics]

... I didn't think about that, okay?

[tadeadshi]

Hiro.

[Can he feel the brotherly glare through that single word text. Can he.]

[microbrobotics]

[ He sure can. God, this was supposed to be a dumb laid back evening. ]

I didn't! Whatever, it's done now!

[tadeadshi]

I'm coming home with a *legal* copy.

[Because whatever, he still wants his brother to have a fun night, he'll fix everything. Like he does.]

[microbrobotics]

Fine, fine, I'll pay you back. You can steal our popcorn too.

[ There's a hint of gratitude in his tone, despite feeling thoroughly lectured to already. ]

[tadeadshi]

Don't worry about paying me back, just share the popcorn when I get there.

[microbrobotics]

Deal. I'll get out an extra bowl.

[ He shifts to do just that, pulling his glasses back down over his face. ]

[tadeadshi]

Might not be a bad idea to toss that disc out while you're at it.

[microbrobotics]

Yep. On it.

[ By way of making the damn thing eject the disc violently into Hiro's waiting hand. Thaaaat's getting broken in half. ]

[tadeadshi]

Squirrelnami though? Really?

[Okay, now he's judging.]

[microbrobotics]

Same guys who did Sharknado. And Lavalantula. They're classics, jeez.

[tadeadshi]

What about Sharknado 4, have you seen that one yet

[microbrobotics]

They made a fourth one? No way, I had no idea.

[tadeadshi]

I'll bring a copy of it too.

[microbrobotics]

... Okay, then you're still the best brother. Even when you lecture me.

[tadeadshi]

That was hardly a lecture. I can do a real lecture when I get there if you want.

[microbrobotics]

No thank you. I've suffered enough already.

[tadeadshi]

Okay! Just figured I'd offer.

[microbrobotics]

[ He sticks his tongue out at Tadashi over the comm. ]

Nerd.

[tadeadshi]

Dweeb.

[microbrobotics]

Whatever.

[ He moves to click off ... and then pauses. After his conversation with Baymax, he doesn't trust himself not to blurt out secrets ahead of time. Better set this up now... ]

Hey, when you get a chance, you should ask Baymax about my glasses.

[tadeadshi]

[And he's about to close his comm up but sees another voice message from Hiro so --]

...Yeah? You think he knows what's special about them?

[microbrobotics]

Yeah, definitely. He'll be glad to tell you.

[tadeadshi]

All right, I'll ask him when I get the chance.

[Because this isn't ominous at all.]
