Video | Too much TV leads to questions

[fire_punk]

Tyrion, did this really happen? [Kevin holds up a pair of DVD cases. Remember that port in LA? Well, someone decided to go shopping. Take a look at the result: Game of Thrones, seasons 1-2.] Is this real?

Dude, don't.

[fire_punk]

Why not?

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Because it's a dick move. You had a warden yet?

[Dean already knows the answer to this.]

[fire_punk]

What's wrong with it? [He might be a bit defensive but it's an honest question.]

No.

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

[Yep.] That explains it.

Whether it happened or not, what if someone handed me a disk with your entire life on it, including things you didn't feel like telling me yet?

[He agrees with Dean, although he's more sympathetic toward the curiosity.]

If it is or isn't, would you want someone to pry that way?

[fire_punk]

I don't know. [He doesn't really get it. It's not even that he wants to know about the actual events. He wants to know if the place is real. Besides, he's never even thought about that.] Why does it matter?

There might be people on board who could get hold of it and use it against him.

[...]

Oh. Sorry, I guess.

No need to apologize. I just thought you'd want some warning in case Tyrion took it the wrong way.

Out of curiosity, is he in it?

[She figures out what's going on: she's heard about the "sometimes people are fictional" angle by now. She'd be really uncomfortable meeting one of her heroines, like Natsuki or Marie, and now she's going to keep thinking about it if he doesn't shut up, so she's got to stop him.]

Movies aren't real. They always change something!

[fire_punk]

[He shrugs.]

So? The wolves are still cool. And the dragons. Besides, Daenerys is hot.

[persecutioncomplex]

[Game of Thrones doesn't exist in her world, and even if it did, she'd think it was horrible trash. Even so, the content doesn't matter so much as what he's asking.]

That means you can't ask someone about some something written about their life, or people they know. Not here, where everybody's real.

[fire_punk]

I just want to know if that's what it actually is. Maybe they just happen to look alike and have the same name. [Probably not likely but you never know. And movies make a lot of shit up.]

[persecutioncomplex]

You pretend it isn't! Would you want anyone to know every terrible thing you've ever done? Are you that much of a masochist?

[mistconduct]

Haha, you fucking asshole. I learned not to do that shit my first month on the Barge. Tourist.

[fire_punk]

Fuck you, too, Chris. [Sure, go ahead and laugh. It just makes you a bigger asshole.] Idiot.

[mistconduct]

Fuck your face, you deserved it.

[fire_punk]

And you're an asshole.

[mistconduct]

For fuck's sake, tell me something I don't already know.

[yeahscience]

Yeah, yo, you gotta keep that shit under wraps. No one ever told you that?

[fire_punk]

No. Why would they?

[yeahscience]

'Cause someone should have. It's supposed to be part of the, you know, intro process.

[fire_punk]

Well, no one did.

[yeahscience]

That's messed up, then. But... okay, whatever, now you know, right? 'Cause how'd you like it if somebody told you everything you did was fictional in some other world? You know? That'd suck ass.
