Rose entered the store with a bunch of DVDs, "Hullo, Jane!"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Hi there Rose." Jane nodded. "Oh that's right. We're gonna learn about the 21st century huh?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose grinned. "Yep, thought Spring Break was a better date for it, hopefully we don't get turned into kids in the process again, how've you been?"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

Jane chuckled.

"Bein' a little one again was kinda interestin'." Jane pointed out. "I been fair. Had a bit of a tussle with some very disturbed folk helpin' out one of the girls from the school with a problem but I think I'm over it... Mostly."

She shivered a little.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me bein' a kid was... I think mortifyin' for people who took care of me, I was a terror." She looked at Jane in concern, "Hope everything went well?"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Everybody came out in one piece more or less. And I think we did a good thing..." Jane said. Then sort of remembered the sort of person she was talking to and decided to clarify.

"Space cannibals."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you were with River and Jack," Rose said then added with some relief, "I'm glad at least they brought you along. How're you? I can't imagine space cannibals are normal for your time."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"That's the trip." Jane nodded. "I spent some time in the army. I seen some pretty angry people do pretty horrific things to other people but...

Wow."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"I've never seen the type of cannibals you went up against," she said quietly, "but from what I've heard they really were horrific. I'm just glad none of you were permenantly hurt."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"We were very lucky yeah." Jane nodded. "Having learned something of their nature before hand was a great motivator."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Preparation helps, yeah?" She said with a wry smile.

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"More like, getting the shit scared outta ya with stories of being raped and eaten simultaneously helps... Preparation is good too though." Jane added with something of a smirk.

Yeah, she can joke about it. Now.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose shuddered, she hated those type of monsters.

"Aside from the cannibals, how was the rest of your trip?"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Surprisingly smooth."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose chuckled, "Doesn't seem like space travel to me without the unneccessary landings and missing years by a century."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Well, the thing we traveled in was built by squirrels. So when I say I was surprised by the smoothness of the ride... I can't say my expectations were very high..."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Squirrels?" Rose repeated in disbelief, "Right, forget it, I'm surprised you're all alive to even tell me about it."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Fuckin likewise!" Jane agreed. "So, what do you got there?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"DVDs!" She said proudly, "Best way to start your education into pop culture is to go to the heart, and that's movies!"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"I've watched a couple." Jane nodded. "It's fucking amazing. What are we watching today?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Since you're a woman of action, I've got us the definitive science fiction movies of this era -- Space Battles and *not the prequels, the orginal three. James Bund movies, and Illinois Smith -- the swashbuckling archeologist," Then Rose produced another set of DVD with a flourish "And for a more recent set -- the first two movies of 'Buccaneers of the Sea Not Entirely Unlike the Caribbean'!"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"That all sounds very exciting."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"You betcha!" Rose grinned, nodded at Jane, "And forget about the science, don't even attempt to use logic on the science because the science doesn't make sense. The purpose of these is to enjoy the shiny sword fights/gun battles and/or death defying feats in the relative safety of your room."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"So they're like, fuckin, moving dime novels?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Bang on!" Rose said, "Dime adventure novels, only with pictures, surround sound and special effects!"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"Are we gonna watch one now?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Up to you," She nodded to the store, "D'you have a TV here? Or would you like a movie night?"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"We got stuff here that'll play this. Let's watch one and then do the rest for a... 'movie night'."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose grinned, "Sounds like an excellent plan, which would you like first? Pirates? Space adventures? Swashbuckling archeologists or suave spies?"

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"... Pirates."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose slapped the DVD against her other palm. "Woman after me own heart, you are! Go on, let's watch the slightly gay pirate."

[courtincalamity.livejournal.com]

"I thought they were all slightly gay." Jane said leading the way to the largest display tv they have.

Yeah, all pirates are gay. That's what all the cowboys always told her.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose laughed, "Well, then, this is slightly more gayer than others."

She crouched down and popped in the DVD then sat back as the studio logo came into the picture and the bucanneer music swelled. "Right, here goes."
