crossover_chick-D: *headdesk* And she was doing so well. . . .-
I still think it's fun.
-D: We don't deny it's fun, it's just your insistence that we need to do karoke of it!-
:p
Anyway, work was shitty, what's new there? Did some stuff with Super BTTF II -- finally managed to pass WOLF, but now I'm stumped on the hotel level after it. The stupid huge black balls are back.
-RPD: Biff has a very strange hotel in Super BTTF land. Antigravity machines, bouncing Biff statuettes, huge bowling balls, random spiked balls. . . .
-TD: *mutters something along the lines of "I wish I had an antigravity machine"*-
-VDM: *holds up Steampunk!Hoverboard*-
-TD: Not quite the same -- though I have been meaning to upgrade that. I'll have to study the real hoverboards and see how exactly they work.-
-Other Martys: *look VERY nervous*-
-VD2: *reassuringly* We can get him some of his own. Would you like the standard "Pink Hero" model, or something with jet propulsion?-
-TD: One of each, please, for thoroughness's sake.-
*giggle* Pink Hero?
-VuM: Well, that's how the filmmakers referred to it. Couldn't get the orange board from the other girl, could we?-
-VM: Can't say it didn't get TrilogyUs out of a number of bad situations.-
Anyhoo, got the BTTF/Harry Potter drabbles88 for you guys ready. Don't worry, it's completely spoiler-free.
21. Lunch
Marty McFly plopped himself under his favorite tree. He loved days like these – the weather was warm, the day was sunny, and it was near the end of term -- his last one ever at Hogwarts, no less -- so nobody minded if he just took some food from the Great Hall and headed outside. He grabbed a piece of chicken and started chowing down.
“Hey, Marty!”
Marty looked up and grinned. “Hey Doc. Didn’t expect to see you out here.”
Emmett “Doc” Brown shrugged. “It seemed too nice to stay inside,” he admitted, sitting down next to Marty. “Mind if I join in?”
“Help yourself.” Marty looked at the book his friend was holding as Emmett snagged a biscuit. “Magical Temporal Theory? You and your time turners. . . .”
“This is more than time turners,” Emmett told him through a mouthful of biscuit. He swallowed and went on. “I’m working on a way to go even further into the past. Even the most advanced time turner won’t allow more than a year of time travel. And what if you wanted to see the future? I’ve got some designs I’m trying out – can’t get the magical fields stabilized yet, but with a little more tweaking. . . .”
Marty shook his head goodnaturedly. “I swear, it would have been a crime for you to have ended up any place other than Ravenclaw.”
“Well, I think I would have done all right in Gryffindor. Remember when we dueled the Tannen brothers?”
“Yeah, I still have the scars,” Marty nodded, rubbing his side.
Two girls jogged up to them. “Hey boys, how are you?”
“Clara!” Emmett grinned, putting aside his book. “We’re fine, thanks.”
“Hi Jennifer,” Marty said warmly, getting up to greet his girlfriend. “How’s life in the land of the badgers?”
“Exhausting, lately,” Jennifer groaned, sitting down. “Peeves has taken a liking to our common room.”
“Our sympathies,” Emmett said with a wince.
“I’d rather have Peeves than Buford Tannen,” Clara said, taking a seat next to Emmett. “He made another pass at me today. You think the mere fact that I’m a Gryffindor and he’s a Slytherin would forestall that sort of behavior.”
“Well, Ravenclaw’s the house known for intelligence, not Slytherin,” Emmett said, putting an arm around her. “I understand that they’re supposed to be cunning, but they do seem to get their share of dumb brutes, don’t they?”
“I hope you threatened to curse his knees on backwards,” Jennifer said, cuddling up to Marty.
“I threatened – er – something a little higher, actually,” Clara said with a faint blush.
The other three snickered. “That’s my girl,” Emmett said, kissing her.
“So, are we still on for our American tour after we leave school?” Jennifer asked, grabbing a piece of chicken for herself.
“Oh, yeah, definitely! You know, I found out I have some cousins in California,” Marty said.
“Really?”
“Yeah. Muggles, but they know a bit about us. Live in this little town called Hill Valley. . . .”
-OD: *tentacles squeak* It just occurred to us -- shouldn't TeenDoc and his friends be speaking with German accents or something?-
-H: I think it has something to do with the fact that we started out as just plain past versions of Doc and friends.-
And I really can't imagine you guys with any accents at all, to head off any questions about Victorian-Dressed Marty.
Getting back to the drabbles88, don't ask me exactly when it's set -- I just know it would have to be during one of the periods when Voldiepoo was inactive. I suppose you could say 1985. . . .
-J: *puzzled* I'm in Hufflepuff?-
Well, it's hard to get a bead on your personality.
-AJ: Suppose that's true when you sleep for most of the sequels. But why Hufflepuff? Why not put me in Gryffindor with Marty?-
A) You do seem to demonstrate loyalty -- waiting for Marty at the high school and risking getting into trouble yourself in Part I, for example. B) I wanted a mix of houses going around. C) I wanted to use the line "How's life in the land of the badgers?"
-DW: How about why Clara's not in Ravenclaw?-
I forget exactly -- I know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
martyfan and I had a conversation a long while ago about sorting you guys into houses, and I think we put Clara in Gryffindor because of her antics on the train. Though you're right, both you and her could go either way with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw just seems more natural to you because you're a scientist.
-DW: I see. So when does this version of myself fall off a toilet and invent the magical equivalent of the flux capacitor?-
Why, while going to the bathroom in Hill Valley's clock tower of course. ;)
-HD: *playing with his teacup* Swish and flick!-
-VD: Though, really, I can't see Elias being too happy with a wizard version of us.-
-HD: *headdesk*-
I didn't even DO anything!
-HD: I could hear you thinking it!-
-TD: All I have to say is, Mother better be on our side in this universe. *significant look*-
Yes, yes, of course.
I also played some Twin Oaks Park Parkers, so expect arevison_doc update soon.
-RPD: *pokes* Come on, update tonight!-
Ack! And I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't know how much "steam" I have left in me.
-RPD: Oh, yes, true. . . .-
-TD: *grin* I can fix that.-
-VD: We can't have you breaking our fanfic author -- the job's wearing her down enough as it is.-
Thank you. I'll probably update tomorrow after the movie.
-TTV: *perks up*-
At the THEATER, Victor.
-TTV: Oh.-
Though you're welcome to come. We're seeing "Order of the Phoenix." I basically know everything that's going down (and am preemptively ticked off that they apparently screwed over Neville's big moment in the DoM) but it'll still be nice to see.
-TTV: It would be interesting -- I've only ever seen live theater.-
-M: First official time at the movies, eh Victor? Just remember, always go to the bathroom first.-
Yeah, I'm still kicking myself for not remembering that during Spidey 3. :(
Anyway, off to see if I can find ANY tips for getting through Super BTTF II. Stupid Japan-only releases. . . .
I still think it's fun.
