Roland had, somehow, actually tracked down a blu-ray player and had almost figured out how to hook it up, while waiting for his ~~date~~ modern pop culture teacher.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:25 pm**

Haley crept next to Roland as he was engrossed in fiddling with the blu-ray player.

"I'm impressed you managed to hook this up at all," she smirked.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:27 pm**

"Color-coding is useful, though I think I have too many wires."

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:39 pm**

"Want me to take a look, or do you think you have it?"

Haley pulled off her light sweatshirt which she wore to ward off the cool night air on the trip to the secret lair and tossed it over a chair.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:46 pm**

"Yeah, you speak 21st century," Roland said, taking a sidewards glance at Haley as he straightened up and let her in.

"So, what is this. I gather it's some kind of religious film?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:50 pm**

Haley quirked her eyebrow at him before she busied herself unplugging most everything, starting over, and having it set up quite quickly.

"I....wouldn't call it that, no...why?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:51 pm**

"One of the new students mentioned it in reference to a biblical quote. I assumed..."

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:55 pm**

"Yeah. One of the guys quotes stuff. That...that's really about it."

"...how do you feel about the word 'fuck?' Because you'll hear that a lot."

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:58 pm**

Roland paused for a moment.

"I can handle it if you can," he finally said, with a slight chuckle.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:06 pm**

"We'll see if you're lying about that or not pretty soon into the movie," she smirked.

"So....do you have food and drinks or should I go raid the cafeteria quick?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:06 pm**

"I have some popcorn--which, you'll be happy to know, I made using a 'microwave'--and some wine."

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:18 pm**

"Look at you," she teased, still impressed nonetheless. "Both sound awesome."

She plopped down on the closest, most comfortable-looking seat and pulled out her phone, silencing it.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:33 pm**

The most comfortable looking seat was an old, leather, overstuffed couch, and Roland joined her there.

"Turning off the phone? I'm touched," he teased.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:44 pm**

Haley smirked. "Don't be silly. I'm just turning off the ringer."

"So what kind of wine is it this time? And does it pair well with popcorn?" she giggled.

Posted: **Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:59 pm**

"It's a Chardonnay. A nice light white wine, with a bit of a buttery tone to it, should go well with the fact-butter-goo they put on the popcorn."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 4:23 pm**

"Fake butter goo is delicious. Just don't look at it in the bag," she smirked, noticing her wine glass and holding it out for him to pour.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 4:29 pm**

"M'Lady, some wine to go with your goo," Roland teased, topping her off. "Alright, you might need to explain this movie to me, then, becuase I thought it was something else entirely," he said, as it started.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 5:26 pm**

"It's pretty...deep in spots I guess. So. Just try to follow along, and maybe we can pause it if you need translation," she said sipping the wine and grabbing a handful of popcorn.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 7:43 pm**

"Ah, a cultural film, then!" Roland nodded, as if he understood.

He didn't, which became apparent as the movie continued.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 7:47 pm**

Haley snatched the remote with her TK about an hour in and hit the pause button. "Prof, squint in confusion any harder you're going to look like a raisin. What's up?"

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 7:49 pm**

"It's...people don't really talk like that, do they? I swear, it needs subtitles."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 7:59 pm**

"Sure they do. I warned you about the f word, didn't i?"

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 8:09 pm**

"No, I mean, not the F word. The F word is classic.

I'm just saying, how they talk...all these references to...I don't even know what. It just doesn't sound natural."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 8:15 pm**

"Well it...okay...yeah I guess I see your point," she said, finishing her second glass of wine. "But like. Well. I dunno. It's kinda hard to explain that stuff. I kinda just....get it you know? Was anything in particular hard to understand?"

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 8:29 pm**

"No, I think I'm getting it, more or less...

I like this boxer guy quite a bit. I'm just not sure I see how it ties in to the drug thing from earlier."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 9:46 pm**

"You've got to keep watching--they all do tie together in the end," she promised. "Do we have any wine left?"

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 9:58 pm**

"We do indeed. You seem to be a big fan of it," Roland said, indicating her empty glass as he poured her more.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:16 pm**

"It's really good," she smiled, not at all tipsy.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 11:00 pm**

"Well, I should hope so," Roland laughed. "I don't keep the bad stuff around."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 11:52 pm**

Which Haley found incredibly funny for some reason, and accordingly, had a fit of giggling.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 11:53 pm**

"M'lady, I believe you may be drunk."

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2014 11:59 pm**

"Pffffft. I'm fine," she grinned. "I've been drunk before and this isn't it."

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 12:05 am**

"Then how would YOU describe it?" he teased. "I'm surprised I"m not picking it up on your telepathy at this point."

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 6:32 am**

"Well when I got drunk last year, I basically was falling all over myself and I made out with a girl I hated, and I don't feel like I could do that now, so therefore, I'm sober." she giggled.

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 2:49 pm**

"You did what?" Roland said, not jealous at all.

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 4:22 pm**

"I made out with a a girl in the library?" she said, not sure why there was any confusion.

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 4:25 pm**

"I didn't think you, um, liked women."

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 5:09 pm**

"I don't. I don't think so at least. I dunno I was like. Way drunk."

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 5:33 pm**

"Duly noted, duly noted," Roland said. "I'll have to keep that in mind."

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2014 5:37 pm**

Haley looked at him, a bit confused. "Keep it in mind?"
