[When Jaime turns the tablet on, he's standing in front of the cinema that a couple of the other Transports had constructed, visible hand propped up on a broomstick. The area is still scattered with debris and dust after the bombings, but it's clear that he's at least made the rudimentary attempts at cleaning a path to the miraculously intact structure. He gives the camera a little wave.]

Hey! So, it's come to my attention that some people around here have never seen a movie before even though we've got a theatre right here. I'm thinking we're totally past due for a movie night, and it just so happens that I found a copy of E.T. in one of the databases. This place still needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I think I can have it ready by let's sayyyy Saturday, 7 PM. Everyone's welcome to come on down.

Or at least you are as long as you bring snacks.

[He grins at the camera. He's joking, honest. Mostly. Mostly joking. A movie's not a movie without snacks.]

...And if you didn't get it, Sango, that means you. Clear your schedule! It's time to introduce you to modern cinema. Eilonwy, you should come on down too. Call it a mini-vacation you get to choose this time.

[ ooc; Tags will be slow to non-existent until tomorrow, just giving everyone some IC and OOC heads-up for a mingling log this Saturday! ]

Yes, part of the reason I wouldn't suggest anything too graphic. Unless it is arranged beforehand and what people might want to watch. I do find films and books can be a nice break from things for a while though, that is true.

[velveteened]

I'm Oz! It's nice to meet you.

[taijiya]

I guess it is, huh? Still, you should let me and Kirara help.

IS IT OKAY IF THIS IS SUPER LATE

[bumbles]

What kind of snacks do you need?

( help talking to people )

['Owner' isn't really the right word for taking over an abandoned building without asking for permission and renovating it, but sure. What the hell.]

Sure yeah, that's about right.

[lazyinlove]

there should be a newbie guide to wtphysics.

[khajidont]

Yeah, Time Travel and Alternate Universes For Dummies, big font, small words. Bet there's someone around here who'd try and write it.

[khajidont]

It seems that way to me too, but there's people here from around my time, but from alternate worlds. Similar, but some differences here and there.

[khajidont]

Nice to meet you too. You a big movie fan?

[khajidont]

I haven't watched a movie since I came here - and man, I've missed entertainment. [He smiles a little ruefully at the camera, knowing that the lack of video games and television are a bit silly to complain about, but he misses them anyway.] Maybe I'll check around to see if we can do this more often.

[khajidont]

Dysphonic?

[khajidont]

What were you planning on doing with it, anyway? Just make some extra cash or what?

[khajidont]

Hey, I'm not gonna say no - to the help or seeing Kirara help. I only saw her monster-sized when I could hardly get a good look at her.

[speakveryclearly]

It has too many Ess sounds, and so doesn't exactly roll off the [...what's the word again] tongue.

NEVER TOO LATE

[khajidont]

Anything that's easy to eat and share. Normally movie theatres have popcorn and candy and stuff, but I don't know much of that's available around here.

[video]

[khajidont]

You're right, that is lucky for me. Wouldn't want the cops to come after me for slave labour. I might get locked up somewhere I don't want to be.

[blondtactician]

Alien? [It's not a word he's familiar with in that context.] Do you mean some kind of strange person? Does it eat the boy?

[lazyinlove]

not it.

[deathofempathy]

If you had access to enough movies and people were up to it, I see no reason why this couldn't possibly be a regular thing each week or something. Unforeseen circumstances notwithstanding, of course. I haven't seen a movie in a while myself. I'm sure Tsuzuki and Watari-san will want to go.

[Hisoka never really got the whole typical teenager experience growing up with homework and video games. Getting cursed and ill the last three years of your life kind of screws that up from age thirteen to sixteen. But he can understand people taking simple things for granted, in any case.]

[chittybang]

Not at all. I imagine motion pictures work similarly to the devices we're using now, right?

[khajidont]

Same. I'll stick with movie nights.

[khajidont]

The database around here seemed pretty big. I'll have to check with whoever owns this place first, but hey, worth a shot.

I don't think I've seen Tsuzuki or Watari-san around before. [He pronounces the latter as one word, mistaking the honorific for part of the guy's name.]

[khajidont]

Oh my god, no. The key word here is friendly. Alien's another word for someone who's come from another planet.

[Video]

[khajidont]

Oh. Yeah, I guess not. D'you know another word for it?

[khajidont]

I think it's more or less the same, just with a sound system added in. You can play movies on our tablets too - it's just a lot more fun watching it on the big screen.
