Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday evening

Bruce had gotten over his cold just in time to be transformed into a poor excuse for a ninja last night. He woke up on a park bench this morning in a damp ninja costume with a little bit of a headache.

It had not been a pleasant few days.

And that's why Bruce was in the common room tonight with a DVD (to avoid the horrors of the TV's hatred of him) of a meta for Zorro movie. Were there some negative associations there? Yes, of course. But he still loved those old movies. There was just something about a rich playboy dressing up in a mask and cape to help people in need that appealed to him.

He even made popcorn in case anyone else stopped in and wanted to snack during the adventures of one of the greatest fictional characters ever created.

Elphaba was on the wrong floor, but she was on a hunt.

"Are there any apples in here?" she asked as she strolled in the common room door. "I can't seem to find any on my own floor." She barely even glanced at the TV.

"I don't know. But you're more than welcome to check the fridge," Bruce said. "Looking for a very specific snack?"

"Most of the other snacks aren't quite to my liking," Elphaba said. "I have my principles and I must stick to them." She started looking in the fridge and turned back to look at the TV properly. "A man with a sword and mask?"

"Righting wrongs in a historically inaccurate version of Spanish California, yes," Bruce said. "I've always been a fan of these movies."

"If he's writing wrongs, why does he need to hide?" Elphaba asked. "I thought it was usually the villains who hid their faces."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Because he's usually righting wrongs committed by the Spanish soldiers who control the state," Bruce explained. "If the soldiers are after the masked man, then he can walk around freely as a civilian. Also, a masked man works better as a symbol."

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"As a symbol?" Elphaba asked, skeptical. She retrieved an apple from the fridge crisper and walked over to get a closer look. "I'd think people would have trouble trusting him."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"The mask elevates him. Because of what he is and what he's doing, he's more than a mere man," Bruce said. "The people of California don't need to trust him on a personal level. They just have to see his actions and learn to trust those over time."

SOMEBODY had thought about this before.

"And hope that no one with the same mask goes around stealing from people," Elphaba said. "The problem with a mask is that it could be anyone. Especially an outfit so... black."

Said the girl who wore mostly dark colors.

"I woke up on the top of a cliff today," Rilla sulked, flouncing into the room.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
"I woke up wet and on a park bench. Welcome to the bad morning club," Bruce said.

"I think I don't like the American version of Halloween very much," Rilla declared.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"This has less to do with America and more to do with Fandom," Bruce said. "It'll be interesting to see what happens for Christmas."

"I think I will try to go home, lest I end up as an elf for a week," Rilla decided. "Why were you on a bench?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess it seemed like the most reasonable place to sleep after I ended up in the duck pond," Bruce mused. "What were you doing on a cliff?"

[identity profile] rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Rilla sighed heavily. "I'd been kidnapped by a dragon."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Well that makes perfect sense for yesterday," Bruce mused. "Did the dragon wake up there, too?"

[identity profile] rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't think so," Rilla mused. "I only saw Zack."

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "This is a bad thing?" she asked, as it sounded like it could have been exciting.

[identity profile] rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"It was a cliff," Rilla said. "In November. As I am not a Gothic heroine, this was bad."

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"So why did you sleep near the cliff?" Elphaba asked. "Or were you whisked there by the fickle winds of magic?"

She couldn't help but make a little smirk with the corner of her lip.

[identity profile] rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Rilla wrinkled up her nose. "I was kidnapped by a dragon," she said, hoping that didn't sound as ridiculous as she thought it did.

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Elphaba was shocked. "You were what?!" she said, completely aghast.

[identity profile] rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"It was a rather trying evening," Rilla admitted.

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
"You are safe, though?" Elphaba asked. "You were not harmed at all?"
