[The device is sitting on the coffee table in Lucy's living room. She's got a buffet of 'tail gate' food laid out including hot wings, cheese fries, chips, salsa, chili cheese dogs and red velvet cupcakes. There's also a cooler full of beer and sodas sitting next to the coffee table. The TV is showing a football--It's a black market DVD of the 2011 University of Alabama Football Season. This is game one Bama vs Kent State.

Lucy is perched on the edge of the couch wearing a crimson tide football jersey, a pair of Tide sweats and a black and white houndstooth fedora. She's got a red A painted on her face.]

Oh come on! My mother holds more than that! You can't even call that holding!

[She glances at the device with a beaming smile.]

Tailgate party at my house to watch the Tide vs Kent State. We should slaughter the guys. It's like warm up. Anyway, everyone is invited. Come and enjoy food and beer and football. It's what Saturdays were made for.

Football. Isn't that that muggle sport with all the blokes in shorts?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Nope. That's European football. This is American football. Boys put on pads and tight pants and hit each other.

[onlyholey]

Still sounds eminently ridiculous.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

If by ridiculous you mean awesome than yes. Come eat wings and chili cheese dogs and cheer for the team in red.

[onlyholey]

That does sound less than objectionable.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Slaughter, like, metaphorically right?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Very much metaphorical. I mean...kind of. I expect us to win by a lot.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Are you getting tv from back home?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. It's a black market DVD with the entire 2011-2012 season on it. I could watch it all in one go if I wanted but it's more fun to do it every week as the game is happening back home.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Where'd you get the DVD from?

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

A what party to watch what slaughtering what?

[He does not understand this strange language you speak.]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's football! We're having a tailgate party while watching my Boys slaughter some other boys from Kent State.

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Lu...remind me to get a translator so I can understand you when you get like this.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I am your translator. Come eat wings and yell at the TV. We want the guys in red to win.

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

That sounds ridiculous.

[Jill gets out of bed for this. She's there, her hair in a sloppy bun and looking a little worse for the wear albeit shocked that they can watch a game on the day of here. How is this possible?]

We get games from home here? On TV? How?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I risked life and limb to brave the Underground's black market and picked this up. It's a DVD of the 2011-2012 season. We could watch all of the games at once but that's no fun.

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

They really have knowledge of things that haven't happened yet? [Jill finds this both awesome and terrifying. But she sits down on the ground, crossing her legs and watches the game.] Huh.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I think it's like the library. Somehow every dvd ever exists here.

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

...massacre and dining? The truest spirit of Saturday and Saturnalia indeed.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I don't know who or what Saturnalia is but...yay for me?

[designedtoparty]

That isn't football. But, yes. I'll come.

Where do you live?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's American football and [insert correct address here]. I'll see you in a little while.

[designedtoparty]

Whatever. It looks like rugby for pussies, but who cares?

[And see him in a little while you will. Who is he to turn down free booze?]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[She will ignore all his bashing of football. She answers the door when he rings the bell and opens the door up wide.]

Come on in. Cooler's next to the couch. Food's on the table and if you want something like Scotch or whiskey I have that too.
