MODERN SOLO ADVENTURES COLLEGE AU HERE WE GO

[killthepast]

[ Twitch. You can just see the scowl he's BARELY TRYING TO MASK come closer to the surface every time she sips on her drink.

If you can call that a drink instead of what it truly is: a cup full of whipped cream. Yeah, he's that asshole who judges the existence fraps, even though they are OBJECTIVELY DELICIOUS. ]

It's not made up. It's a very old name. I read about it in my linguistics class.

[ It's his LARP name. ]

What kind of a name is Kenzi?

[onteamdyson]

Ew, you're taking linguistics? I heard the prof is a total hardass. Noooo thank you. I'm not paying twenty K a year to auto-fail.

[She's paying 20k a year to somehow manage to get a law degree with as little effort possible. At least she's setting the cup down now, leaning on the table with both arms across her text book so she can rest her chin instead of actually looking anything up.]

It's Scottish, actually. Short for McKenzie? My dad picked it out.

[killthepast]

Classes are meant to be difficult. Why shouldn't you challenge yourself? [ Said with a bit more conviction than is necessary. HE TAKES COLLEGE V SERIOUSLY. ]

McKenzie. [ He looks at her for a beat, like he's making sure she really is a Kenzi. Seems to check out. Without further ado, he moves on to what's important: SCHOOLWORK. He whips out the syllabus and glances at it, as if he doesn't already know what he wants to focus on for their project. ] We'll do our project on German expressionism.

[onteamdyson]

Challenges are for overachievers. [And with that, she gives Kylo a long look up and down. Get her drift? Nerd alert much?]

Wow, okay, I don't remember agreeing to that. Not only does that topic sound like the most boring thing ever, but I'm pretty sure it's an oxymoron? Germans don't express themselves. They just yell a lot and take over countries.

[killthepast]

[ He sees the judgment, and you know what? He's proud to be an overachiever. There. ]

It's not boring. [ He leans in. ] German Expressionism is the foundation of modern cinema. [ God, you sound like somebody who's never even bothered to WATCH the works of F. W. Murnau. ]

[onteamdyson]

[NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD! She's starting to see why no one wanted to partner up with this guy. She should have taken her chances with perpetually frowning Indian dude that sits in the back and constantly looks like he walked out of a fashion shoot. He's probably WAY more laid back than Mr. Intensity over here.

Not that Kenz can really talk. No one wanted to partner up with her, either. Something about being too easily distracted, too lazy, too busy texting her boyfriend to take actual notes in class. Whatevs. Maybe some of that has a tiny shred of truth to it. She's only looked at her phone TWICE since meeting up with kylo! Both times were, of course, to text her boyfriend, BUT STILL!]

I beg to differ. The foundation of modern cinema rests solely upon the shoulders of a very artsy, deep, heartfelt story about the true meaning of Christmas. [Waaaait for it.] Die Hard.

[inceptisex]

[ Meanwhile, over at another table: ]

WE'RE NOT WRITING ABOUT FUCKING SHREK.

[royalpassport]

[ And speaking of texting the boyfriend: ]

oh oh oh!
i've got it!
you should compare the different adaptations of alice in wonderland
:)

[onteamdyson]

babe no...

[royalpassport]

:(?????

[onteamdyson]

I JUST

DONT THINK WE COULD DO IT JUSTICE IN THE LIMITED TIME WE HAVE!? thats more of a finals topic. dissertation material. <3

[royalpassport]

[ NICE. SAVE. ]

oh of course :)
there've been so many adaptations, after all

[ Which Kenzi's surely aware of. HE HAS PROBABLY INFLICTED ALL OF THEM ON HER AFTER THEY GOT BLAAAAAZED. ]

[onteamdyson]

omg right? like.... at least 100. possibly 1000. pls tell me they arent making anymore.

because i wouldnt want to miss out. on that. experience.

[SHE IS ALL ABOUT THE NICE SAVES TODAY! To be fair, high is the only way to watch those movies.]

ps my partner is a total nightmare control freak intense person and id rather be making out with yo face!!!!

[royalpassport]

they're always making more! that's why it's such an incredible and unique story!!
there's nothing else like it
lewis carroll was a visionary

[ OH KENZI. HE WOULD ALSO RATHER BE MAKING OUT WITH YO FACE. ]

you wouldn't right now
we're in rehearsals
my face is in full puck makeup
there's a lot of glitt

[ Wait. This is Kenzi. ]

i'm sorry i just enticed you with glitter :(
anyway who's your partner?

[onteamdyson]

dONT YOU DARE WASH ANY OF THAT SHIT OFF UNTIL I PICK YOU UP AFTER!!!!!!!

[He knows her too well. She has been greatly enticed by the glitter. Jeff is basically the perfect Puck even without the makeup or the excuse of a play.]

kylo from film studies? idk if you've seen him. v tall. all black all the time. hair that looks like it should move but doesnt bcuz u know he put like 800 pounds of hairspray in that shit after curling it at 6am

switching to that MODERN AU JEFF ACCOUNT FOR ACCURACY

[un_birthday]

do you want me to keep the full costume on or just the makeup?

oh him
i know him
he's v intense
and he doesn't like me so maybe don't mention my name around him :(

good icons yes

[onteamdyson]

depends. does the costume come with tights?

... what did you do this time? did he buy one of your knock off, ultra rare, totally legit, limited edition ANYTHINGS? or did you scam him out of a couple hundred bucks at a table?

IF HE TAKES HIS DISLIKE OF YOU OUT ON OUR PROJECT IM not actually gonna care that much tbh i make up the average on exams and ur brother keeps doing my homework

[un_birthday]

not tights PER SE
but very tight pants

um the first one
there was a lot of yelling when he realized it
and then he threw a book at my head

that's so unfair you know
chase never does my assignments and i'm family!

[onteamdyson]

babe. B A B E. what are you even doing im not gonna be able to concentrate on anything now

great. awesome. hes violent and unstable. this is just... the best possible outcome

FIRST OF ALL chase likes me better. second of all HE DOESNT WANT TO BE A THEATRE MAJOR WHEN HE GETS OLDER WHY WOULD HE DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS

[killthepast]

Die Hard? Die Hard? [ Why is this movie bringing up a simmering rage from within?

Why, it's because he has a long history with Die Hard. It's his father's favorite movie. Every Christmas, dad-- Han-- would put it on while they opened presents.

He hates Die Hard. ]

I won't let you cost me my 4.0 with Die Hard.

[onteamdyson]

Woah. Dude. Settle. [She is... definitely getting that vibe. How is it even possible that someone could hate Die Hard? The sequels, yeah, okay, fair, but the original?

Kenzi leans back in her chair, hands up defensively. If looks could kill, she'd be vaporized by now!]

Wait-- Do you seriously have a 4.0? [Legit Nerd. Like, nerd that means business. Wow. Now she knows who to go to for study tips!

... If he doesn't murder her during this project.]

Why not? It's seasonal! It's appropriate! I mean, normally I'd vote Mighty Ducks which is just-- cinematically speaking-- the greatest movie ever made.

[killthepast]

[ Why is a 4.0 so unbelievable? ] You could have one, too. [ Why, that's almost nice-- oh wait he's scowling and adding: ] If you stopped texting and applied yourself.

[ Seriously, put your phone away.

SEETHING EXHALE THROUGH HIS VERY LONG NOSE. ] That is not the-- why would you even claim that when you have Stanley Kubrick's entire filmography to choose from?

[ He's so!! offended!! ]

[onteamdyson]

Hey, as long as mine stays above a three, I'm good. I'm taking my pre-law years easy. Don't wanna burn myself out before the hard shit. [That is... some strategy, Kenzi. Also what? Is this bothering you? Is her gaze glued to the screen, thumbs flying furiously over the surface of her phone, barely listening to anything you're saying making you upset, Kylo? Too bad.

She's multitasking.]

Because if it came down to watching a clockwork orange or D2, I'd pick D2 every time. Think about that, kylo. Name one other film series that holds up as well as ANY of the mighty ducks movies. Name ONE!

[killthepast]

[ HE WOULD SAY STAR WARS, BUT ALAS: HE CANNOT.

Instead, with fierce determination, he answers: ] Lord of the Rings

[onteamdyson]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring. They could have cut the run time of all movies in HALF and not lost any of the story. It takes forever to get through any of them! I'd rather watch Alice in Wonderland for the millionth time.

[Because at least with ANY of those movies, she can usually keep herself entertained by distracting Jeff about halfway through.

... Those kinds of distractions are not going to work on Kylo.]

Okay, look. Let's face it. You're probably gonna be doing the majority of the work on this thing because you seem like that type of guy. If you pick ANYTHING even remotely interesting to me, I'm a fuckton more likely to contribute.
