tv is fundamental

Who: Kevin, some peeps, and you if you want!
Where: TV Land.
When: Throughout the event.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A catch-all for Kevin's adventures in TV Land that don't belong in other peoples' posts.

[ I have some ideas here; mostly they're domestic-y kinds of scenarios. Tag in if you like! I can always write a starter if you mention the trope, and we can talk either on that post or somewhere else to plan. ]

Dick only smirks when Kevin tries to order him around. Well, that is a mighty hilarious attempt. As far as he can tell, this little excursion is looking to be a win for him. He doubts consuming a non-existing human will fill him up, but it'll be a start. If it makes Kevin more angry then that just adds a little fire to the real main course.

He wonders what prophet will taste like. When Kevin bangs that silverware around, he turns towards the not mom and makes an exaggerated sigh.

"Boys will be boys. We did kind of spring this on him though."

How is that for playing a part? He and Soon To Be Lunch go to have themselves a seat at the dinner table. Dick never did understand these traditions and customs. It is all so pointless. He keeps that to himself, taking extra special care to hold that hand that is offered out to him on the edge of the table.

"He's a good kid getting this all set up. So considerate."

Kevin comes back with their drinks, giving each person their glass, and he hopes he doesn't smell like chemicals. That's how these things are supposed to go, right? He tries every method of sabotaging Dick until... something happens. He also found a suspicious amount of garlic and stuff, and Kevin wonders if the game is rigged slightly to include all the tropes. For good measure, he found the food and added a ton of garlic to the plates anyway.

He smiles tightly at his mom, but she doesn't seem particularly thrilled with him, or with the glare he shoots Dick.

"So... How did you two meet?"

Dick may be starting to like these fake scenarios. Humans sure do have a lot of stupid things they liked. Drama is all well and good sometimes, but it gets a little tiresome. He really does not pay much attention to television unless he is the one on it. He has to keep up with how the media is portraying him after all.

He feels as though he smells an excessive amount of garlic by the time Kevin is asking him, or rather him and Kevin's not mom, that question. He doesn't find anything eerie about that.

"Your mom should really be the one to tell that story. She absolutely loves telling it."

And as she begins, he reaches for the glass. Unfortunately he ends up bumping it and the contents spill on the table. It, of course, conveniently misses hitting him as it tends to in shows like this. When does the first attempt to out the monster ever work? He holds up his hand before anybody can speak up.

"I'm a little clumsy today. I'll refill this a little later. You were just getting to the best part! Please continue."

Kevin sighs, a little too obviously disappointed than he ought to be just for someone spilling their water glass. He fidgets in his chair and only half listens to the story because he really doesn't want to hear about how his fake mom fake got together with real Dick Roman. He pushes his food around without really eating, and then decides to try something.

"Hey," he says suddenly. "How about a picture?" He starts pulling out his phone. No reflection, right? That's one of the tropes.

That's a great icon name XD

Dick gives Kevin an extra special grin. Oh, this is turning out to be a lot more entertaining than he gives this place credit for. He really thought he was just going to be hiding out until this came along. This place must be reading his mind to figure out one of his favorite guests here.

He gives little nods every now and then to the story, noting Kevin hardly listening at all. When he offers to take a picture, Dick is all too happy to lean his head over towards not mom.

"That's a great idea! Lean on in here, babe. I want to make sure this one's extra special for Kevin here."

lmao TY TY

Kevin doubts that in a normal world, this would work, but he's maybe hoping that the crazy, mixed-up physics of this shared hallucination or whatever it is will come through for him and just let Dick be reflectionless.

He takes the picture and ignores the nausea that swells up seeing Dick and his not-mom side by side like that, and he's disappointed that he can see Dick in the viewscreen, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything for the final product, right?

He snaps the picture and then turns it around quickly, too afraid to look at it himself. "What do you think? Should I take another?"

[ OOC: up to you if the picture took or not! ]

[illbeeatingyou]

If Dick remembers correctly, things of this sort never work out right away. He knows how much this is bothering Kevin and it makes the Leviathan rather content. As much as he enjoyed that, the continued insistence on keeping even a fake human close to him was disgusting enough. Still, he has a part to play.

When Kevin turns the camera around, he smiled. His smile may be a little more wide than is necessary for his usual demeanor. At least he can claim that it's for the not Kevin's mom. He shakes his head and feigns a little bit of a troubled expression on his face.

"Doesn't look like the ol' camera is working too well. It's a shame. I really wanted a copy of that."

[ooc: I hope you are cool with a comedy of errors with the technology malfunctioning :D]

[vates]

[ ooc: YES ]

Figures. He's not sure there's a way around that. Maybe there's one last thing he can try. He's determined to get them out of this stupid thing, and that means he needs to go for the totally over-the-top, totally disruptive one, right? He's going to blame Dick for the inspiration.

"I'll -- go see if I can find a camera." Kevin practically flies out of his chair, and he gets the rest of the borax he has. Hurrying back into the dining room, he just throws it at Dick's head. There.

Dick wonders what Kevin is hoping to do with all of this. He makes his own conclusions on what he remembers from television, but he never really enjoyed stories like this one. They were always so cliche to the point of him wondering how humans still functioned with such programming. It is all pretty pathetic. He does not pay much attention to where Kevin is going as he turns to not Kevin's mom.

"It's a real shame that picture never turned out. I was really looking forward to-...!"

Amazingly annoying what a certain prophet could do when he finds himself in this kind of situation. Whatever he has been trying to do up until now must not have satisfied him. When that liquid comes his way, he manages to only slightly tilt his head to the side. It still ends up hitting him square in the eye with most of it.

Instead of waiting for the steam, he is already rushing in the direction of the bathroom or what he assumes to be. Playing it off like it got in his eye normally it the only thing he can do. Anything other than that...well...not Kevin's mom is dinner sooner than later.

[vates]

Score one for Kevin, and it's enough to upset his not-mom and make her a little bit suspicious, though unfortunately at the moment she's suspicious of Kevin because she's asking him what was in that glass. His mom's smart though, even a fake version of his mom, and he thinks she'll realize that a borax allergy wouldn't result in that kind of face melting.

That seems to have satisfied the scenario, and as soon as Kevin is free from the hallucination or whatever it is, he bolts as fast as he can go. He's not waiting around to see what Dick might have in store for him.
