WHO: Peridot and Kurt
WHERE: Peridot's apartment
WHEN: 2/12
WHAT: Kurt hasn't yet watched the hit Netflix revival "Bigger Condo" and Peridot is going to fix that.
WARNINGS: bad puns and cheesy 90s television

[ It had been a little over a week since they discussed it, but Peridot hadn't forgotten her about her plans with Kurt on this weekend after Founder's Day. And, to make sure he hadn't either, she sent him no less than five (5) text messages at 6:00 AM on Saturday morning. It's finally time. They're going to watch Bigger Condo and it's going to be amazing.

Peridot manages to organize the chaos in her living room and stakes out her territory first thing in the morning so her roommates don't think they can just encroach on her binge-watching marathon. It's probably a little unnecessary - they tend to avoid wherever Peridot is hanging out. Their loss!

She's even got snacks - in bowls! Doritos, pretzels, M&Ms, and...chia seeds? She didn't buy them to eat, really. She just thinks the concept of eating seeds like a bird is funny. Maybe Kurt will eat some and sprout some funny green hair like those clay animals on TV!

Once she's got everything queued up (including her extensive analysis breaking down each episode), she sits on the couch and waits for him to arrive while playing Tetris on a classic Gameboy. This game is brutal, but she's on such a high level! Because she's so good. At everything.

It feels like it's gonna be a great day! ]

What? I'm pretty sure I'd know if I was a time traveler! [He says with an uncertain laugh. Regardless, he makes his way to the couch and plops down upon it. If there's a table near the couch, there should be no doubt that his feet are about to go up on it.]

Man, I'm not sure if I've ever seen you this excited!

[gemgineer]

Would you? [ She asks, giving him a direct and uncharacteristically serious look.

And then

she starts humming the X-Files theme song and flops down onto the couch next to him. No decorum is observed here and she puts her feet up on the snack-strewn table as well. ]

Just wait until we get into it, then! You have no idea what's coming! [ Unless he expects 90s cheese and good, old fashioned family fun, which is exactly what he's gonna get. She powers on the TV and boots up Netflix on some sort of Roku Apple Stick Box that lets her pirate 12,000 channels from Russia or something. ]

[He rolls his eyes at the X-Files theme, but he also snorts a slight laugh at it. She's an entertaining goofball at least!]

I think I have the general ideas down... [He says lightly. Because that is pretty much what he expects! He blinks as she does her thing.]

Dude, that's some set-up you've got there! Far out!

[gemgineer]

Impressive, isn't it? Don't worry. I know.

[ And she grins because his reaction is exactly the kind she likes best. A few quick inputs on the remote and bam, the opening for Bigger Condo starts playing. ]

I hope you don't have to go to the bathroom or anything, because you're going glued to your seat until the last episode's credits roll!

[ She doesn't mean that literally.

Probably. ]

oh god this is my first time actually seeing the opening

[digthefuzz]

[...Kurt shifts a little in his seat uneasily, just to make sure, and then he gives a nervous laugh.]

What, no commercial breaks?

[But he does smile nostalgically as the credits roll.]

Whoa, everyone's really gotten older! ...Except Uncle Jazzy, why does he still look exactly the same?
