[ 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?!

Oh, yeah. That's me. Ruining everybody's fun with my blatant regard for the law.

Red lights during a car chase.

[neatniks]

It's the law.

[neatniks]

[ Wait, that's exactly what they're talking about. Except!! ]

And that wasn't ruining fun! That was just... I don't know! Life or death-risking impulse! It... It was dumb in that instance, okay?

[microbrobotics]

[ Hiro laughs - not unkindly. Sorry, Wasabi, it's too good of an example to pass up. ]

Okay, okay. I'll stop making fun of you, I swear.

[neatniks]

No, you won't. Endless mockery is all I exist for in this world.

[microbrobotics]

Awww, come on. You do serious stuff too. Like, y'know, making lightsaber katars.

[neatniks]

If only that qualified me for a degree of respectability.

[microbrobotics]

It qualifies you for a degree of awesomeness, which is way better.

[neatniks]

Reassure me of that the next time somebody grinds glitter into my carpet. Or my hair.

[microbrobotics]

... Oh boy. Don't make friends with Mabel Pines then.

[neatniks]

Lack of familiarity with Mabel in particular has not spared me from this terrible fate.

[microbrobotics]

Seriously? There's another glitter monster out there?

[neatniks]

Ken.

With a little assistance from Star-Lord, witting or not.

[microbrobotics]

... Okay, but it's Ken. Ken needs all the happy he can get.

[neatniks]

I'm sure there are other ways to find amusement.
