"They headed down to, ooh, old el paso" (Shane)
(Backdated)

Vlad was camped out in front of the TV, taking a break from his assignments this week. There wasn't much to watch so he was channel surfing at the moment. Man, sometimes there really was just nothing on TV...

	Shane headed through the Rec room on his way to the kitchen to grab some food after coming back home from work. He was definitely ready to relax. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vlad glanced up and gave a friendly wave with the remote. "Hey! Come to join the couch potato league? Figure there's been enough work around here to warrant having one now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure I can take a seat for a bit," Shane says as he grabs a seat on the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice! Seriously nothing on TV right now. How've you been?" Vlad asks and turns slightly to face Shane more and leave the TV on whatever channel he had stopped at. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not to bad. Work is work but could be worse," Shane says, "How have you been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eh, you know, juggling stuff here and school stuff but that's to be expected. Not bad in all. Just lamenting about how nothing is on TV now. I mean...I don't even know what this is," he said and gestured to the TV which had ended a particularly lame ad on some household product and now started an advertisement for a contest of sorts.

	"I remember doing that," Shane says not playing to much attention to the TV now. "It's a damn shame with all the channels we get that there's nothing on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-17 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Seriously, we've got satellite and everything and nothing good on. Daytime TV is the worst." He looked over at the commercial playing now for a contest. "I mean, best star wars visual effect? You could do that in your sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably a few things," Shane says, "Not sure how you would do a lightsaber or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-25 12:21 am UTC (link)
	"Dunno. What about that sith lightning you do?" He asked as he made the hand gestures that went along with that sort of thing to indicate what he was referring to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-03-25 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"You mean like this," Shane says. He manifests several arcs of electricity around an out-stretched hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-25 12:44 am UTC (link)
	"Exactly like that!" Vlad laughed, unconcerned about any danger. Worst that could happen would be couch damage, he was pretty invulnerable so no worries there. "See, if you did that for this thing I'm betting you'd win." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-03-25 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Couldn't hurt to try," Shane says with a shrug. "I definitely could use a vacation and definitely can't afford one right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-25 01:53 am UTC (link)
	He hadn't been serious about it but now that Shane put it that way...why not? "You know what? Why not? Let's enter you, I'll claim photoshop or do any touchups on the background to make it look good and if we win free vacation. Besides, working on that sounds more fun than sitting around here looking for something even slightly interesting on TV." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-03-25 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure just let me know what you want me to do and I can do it," Shane says a little surprised that Vlad took what he said seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-26 02:37 am UTC (link)
	He hadn't planned to but again...why not? Might be fun and if anything it was a good way to waste an afternoon. "I've got an afternoon to waste, you got any soon? Gives us something to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-03-27 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Sure could be some fun," Shane says with a shrug. "So are we planning any of this or just playing it by ear?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-27 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Well clearly I'm a big planner," he laughs. "By ear, just mess around with lightning stuff, and we find a good pic to take. Good way to kill some time and power fun right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-03-28 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"Why not," Shane says, "I've got more than a few good tricks might could work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-03-28 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome! Screw daytime TV then, power entertainment wins out." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	A few weeks later Shane got a letter for Vlad and him. He might have yelled with excitement once he opened in and saw what was inside. He then immediately went to find Vlad. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-03-28 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Vlad had finished a session in the training room and was making his way to the kitchen. He vaguely heard an excited shout, which had him curious but hey, the place was crazy so it wasn't that weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-03-28 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"We won," Shane says grinning when he runs into the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-03-28 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Nice!" Vlad cheered and threw his hands up in the air in celebration. "So uh...we won what exactly?" Honestly, the contest had entirely slipped his mind. It'd been a fun way to pass an afternoon but he didn't seriously expect them to win anything, it'd just been a fun time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-03-28 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"I hadn't actually looked at that part yet," Shane admits as he pulls out the letter to show Vlad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-03-28 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"Oh! This is that picture thing with the star wars special effects we did? Seriously?! I totally forgot about that! Dude! This is awesome!" He grins and high fives Shane in celebration. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-03-29 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah I had forgot about it as well," Shane says high fiveing Vlad back. "But we won." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-03-29 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Ha! Nice! No better special effect than the real thing! What was the prize anyway? A trip somewhere right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-03-29 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Looks like it," Shane says as he reads through more of the info. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-03-30 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Anything good?" Vlad looked over Shane's shoulder to see the details. Because he really couldn't remember what the prizes were, if he'd even known them all originally at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-04-02 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"I think we won an all expenses paid trip down to Texas," Shane says. At least that's the impression he got from reading that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-04-03 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely not a bad prize," he grinned at Shane and looked over the dates. "And it's on spring break! Jackpot!" Vlad laughed and gave his friend a one-armed hug. "Who knew powers could get you a vacation?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later lightningbolt 2013-04-05 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"Lord knows I couldn't have afforded a vacation without winning one. So definitely awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later under_the_skin 2013-04-07 06:46 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely. We'll have fun, get out of the mansion, let loose a little. After all, it's El Paso, I'm sure there's all sorts of fun to be had." (Reply to this)(Parent)
