[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! ]

And you think 'E.T' is a good place to start? [Even if Hisoka himself is only vaguely familiar with the likes of cinema and such. He supposes there could be worse choices.]

[khajidont]

You don't think so? I figured something family friendly would be best. Going for an action movie might just freak people out.

[deathofempathy]

I suppose that is a point. There are some younger transports here as well from what I gather.

[khajidont]

[His expression sours a little bit at that.]

Yeah, I've seen them. After everything we see here, I don't think a violent movie's gonna spook 'em, but it'll be nice to get away from that kind of stuff for a little while.

[deathofempathy]

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.

[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.

[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.]

[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.]

[deathofempathy]

[...Another one that apparently does not know Japanese. Jaime's not the first, by any means. Hisoka will just make a note to maybe teach him later. At least to say the names correctly.]

Worth a try at least.

And I'm sure you will at some point. Both of them are much more...people-people than I am.

[khajidont]

Aw, you're people-person-y enough. I mean, you're talking to me.

[deathofempathy]

Just one person isn't so bad. It's more crowds that get a bit much for me. It doesn't seem to bother either of them though. And they make friends pretty easily.

[Hisoka has never seen this as a problem, more something he has just accepted over time, due to a number of reasons that he is more reserved and less outgoing as Tsuzuki.]

[khajidont]

[Okay, that just sounds lonely.]

Well... this crowd won't be so bad since we'll just be watching a movie most of the time anyway. You should come.

[deathofempathy]

...Well, I suppose if Tsuzuki ends up going, he will probably want me along as well.

[khajidont]

Or you can just accept the invitation. [It's a jibe, sure enough, but it's said with an easy enough grin.]

[deathofempathy]

If you insist. [But hey, if he is coming, he is totally dragging his partner along too. At least Tsuzuki might be able to help keep him calmer among the crowd.]

/threadjack?

[omnomcinnabon]

[Speaking of Hisoka's partner, Tsuzuki peeks over Hisoka's shoulder to see who he was talking to. ]

Did I hear something about going to the movies?

threadjacks are welcome 8)

[khajidont]

That's right. You're Tsuzuki?

Yay!

[omnomcinnabon]

Yes. Nice to meet you! Is it okay if I come along? [He ruffles Hisoka's hair affectionately as he speaks, although he's talking to Jaime.]

[khajidont]

Yeah, of course! As long as everyone can fit in there, everyone's welcome. Do you guys know each other from home?

[deathofempathy]

I figured you'd want to go.

[Which is why he more or less resigns himself to being dragged out to most gatherings. Hisoka swats at Tsuzuki's hair ruffling with a small pout, attempting to straighten his hair.]

[omnomcinnabon]

You know me too well. [Amused by Hisoka's reaction, he returns his attention to Jaime.]

Yeah. We're partners, mr.... What was your name, again?

[khajidont]

It's just Jaime. Nice to meet you.

[deathofempathy]

Yes. I know him from hom, we work together. We arrived around the same time a few months ago.

[Glaring at Tsuzuki as he attempts to straighten his now mussed hair with a small pout at his lips. But he's used to this by now, Tsuzuki doing that.]

[omnomcinnabon]

[Tsuzuki gives Hisoka (what he hopes is) a disarming smile. Please don't throw anything at him.]

Yeah, we've barely settled in. How long have you been here, Jaime?

[khajidont]

I've been here since May, so... a while, now. It's lucky that you guys got to arrive together. That's gotta be pretty rare.
