[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! ]

Friendly alien crash lands on Earth, meets lonely human boy, pretty much.

[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?

[khajidont]

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

[blondtactician]

People can come from other planets?

[khajidont]

Oh yeah, tons of them. If you haven't seen any around here yet, then... you must be new, right?

[blondtactician]

Yes. I'm among those who arrived this month.

[khajidont]

Well, there are worse welcomes than this one. [He won't vocalize it, but he's quietly glad for those who arrived after the bombs.]

I'm Jaime, by the way.

[blondtactician]

I'm Armin Arlert. It's [he doesn't really want to describe it as 'nice' because it isn't, but he doesn't know what else to say] nice to meet you, Jaime.

[khajidont]

It's nice to meet you too. Think you want to come down for the movie?

[blondtactician]

...I suppose it couldn't hurt.

[khajidont]

It definitely can't. Hey, if you don't like it, you can always just walk out.

[blondtactician]

Saturday, 7pm, it was? I'll be there.

[khajidont]

Cool. See you then. [He waves.]
