[Charlie usually prefers to post text to the network, but he's in a hurry and talking is faster than typing. He sounds to be a bit in a rush and the announcement is hardly polished.]

Hey you lot, we've got a movie theater up on the run and we're screening our first-- [It's not really a film, is it? More like a carnival act. This is the last time he lets Collette pick something to screen without intense supervision.] --uh, movie. Admission's a flat rate of one marque for any transport to cover operational costs, no fee for civvies. I've attached coordinates and a blurb about the-- movie we've got running to this message.

Come if you like, though I warn you now that minors are probably in for a bit of a shock.

[There's an attachment to the voice message that contains both the coordinates of the theatre - "The Usual Place" - and a description of the movie. The latter reads:]

[alittlesweptup]

Don't ask me. I was outvoted.

To be fair there's not many reels left over; finding a complete file to restore wasn't easy. Choice was pretty limited.

[motherofnemesis]

N O

[motherofnemesis]

i hear they really reached a new height of characterization and thoughtful examination of the dichotomy between the monsters we create and those that are already present in the world

[alittlesweptup]

Stop it, you'll break my heart.

[motherofnemesis]

you mean i haven't yet?

i was trying so hard

[alittlesweptup]

Oof. At this rate I'll start to think we're not friends anymore, darling.

[motherofnemesis]

a healthy friendship is based on mockery, right

[alittlesweptup]

You've a warped sense of friendship, you know that? Honestly now. See if I ever get you anything nice again at this rate, you beast.

why is this not in my inbox i don't understand

[motherofnemesis]

i've been told that before. personally i think my view of friendship is pretty accurate from my observations.

but if you're going to hold engine parts hostage

your inbox hates fun thats why

[alittlesweptup]

'My observations.' That makes you sound like a bit of a robot, mate.

--Oh blimey, maybe that's it. You're a robot in disguise, hence the cagey attitude.

here i thought it was on my side all this time

[motherofnemesis]

that's not funny

who have you been talking to

[alittlesweptup]

Uh oh. Someone else discover your secret as well?

[motherofnemesis]

there is no secret to discover i'm not a robot

not even a little bit

i don't even have cyborg parts

[alittlesweptup]

Not even a little little little bit?

[motherofnemesis]

i can find you, charlie cutter.

[alittlesweptup]

Alright fine, not a robot.

[motherofnemesis]

thank you.

seriously though apparently i have the face of some new arrivals' friend and they think that means i'm one of the robots who bombed twelve planets back home for them.

it's weird

[alittlesweptup]

What? That's a bit mental, isn't it?

You let me know if they give you any lip. I'll help you sort them out.

[motherofnemesis]

[ give her like three seconds or maybe a little while longer to process that he just offered her help. it's a really strange but very warm feeling. ]

if they ever get out of hand you can totally come practice your boxing

[alittlesweptup]

Gladly.

[motherofnemesis]

thanks
