Movovie Night

[fracturedsoul]

Characters: Everyone
Format: Whichever you prefer
This log is: open
Location: Rakuen Public Library's media viewing room
Summary: Dirk shows off some 21st century cinematic masterpieces.
Warnings: Horrible movies. Swearing from Striders. The usual.

The time has come. Seven o'clock on the dot and Dirk is standing at the front of the viewing room in the city library to one side of the screen which is currently tuned to static, remote control in one of his hands.

There's plenty of room for everyone who shows up. The accommodations are a bit more classroom-like than he'd have liked -- tables and chairs for everyone to sit at -- but scattered about are some snacks and drinks he's scavenged from the Fortitude cafeteria.

Sit down. Watch these films. There are ten of them, and Dirk can go all night.

He shifts a bit to rest his head on hers gently. He's still having a bit of trouble watching the movie since it's still a little overwhelming, but he feels better with her next to him.

ill do it more often then
i mean ill try
im basically flawless at this type of shit

He's pretty sure she knows that's an outright lie. He's terrible at it.

[knightime]

how about a puppet porn website
and basically making a shitton off it
thats a thing
a creepy as fuck thing
but a thing
smuppets were totally a thing in our house

He's forever scarred. Fucking smuppets and puppets and what have you.

[fracturedsoul]

"Wow." Yeah he definitely wants to see that. Though if he'd been sat down in front of some hardcore smuppet porn without warning he might have been stunned into silence, too. If he didn't die laughing. "Okay, so we're in the same boat after all."

[greenspaces]

From the way it makes her giggle, it's pretty obvious that she knows he's lying out of his teeth. But to her credit she doesn't say anything, just reaches with her free hand and pokes him in the stomach.

"So cool."

[fracturedsoul]

Jade does seem to be unharmed, and in the end, that's what matters. Dirk takes a moment to weigh the options.

"All right." He nods. "Go get changed. I'll start the film when you get back."

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku has been silent throughout this conversation. Despite the nausea inducing images and lack of coherent storyline it was still better than most Britannian films.

He listened to Lelouch and Dirk's conversation, frowning when Lelouch brought up Zero.]

"C-could probably buy it. Maybe I'll pick up a c-copy of these too. I c-can't imagine them c-costing too much." He just would never expect them to be negative raks. At least Recette would get some profit from Ghostbusters.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Sounds about r-right.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Wait, wait, stop the presses, you made this? Isn't it supposed to be some famous movie or something?

[savedbyasong]

"It would be fun to watch, there were no movies in my world... not like this, only educational films, and they aren't that interesting."

Well they were, Shion found them fascinating but he didn't think they were the kind of things to share with friends, unless Alex really liked plants.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

"D-depends what those a-are on. I l-like ones studying how animals work, so l-long as they're humane. Rats are r-really interesting, and s-studied a lot f-for neurology." He found most of them on youtube, "B-but I also l-like videos of rats j-just being cute."

[greenspaces]

"Okay. Don't drink all of the soda while I'm gone!" And she plods out of the room, leaving a trail of water behind her.

[straightupzorra]

Wasn't really big on the whole internet scene, I had an outside life.

[savedbyasong]

Shion smiled, "I like rats too, and mice. And dogs any animals really. I haven't heard of rats being studied for their brains though... at least not in No. 6."

[knightime]

He squirms a lot more than what would be consider a normal squirm. More like a that kind of tickled a lot and my stomach is trying to get away from your pokes gosh squirm.

im the coolest
duh

[knightime]

if you mean a boat filled with them
yes

Why do you both insist on loving them? Why does he keep them anyways? Nothing makes sense. His life is meaningless.

[fracturedsoul]

Oh man that would be the best boat ever. No, scratch that, a boat that is literally a giant smuppet, hollowed out on top so people can sit in it. It would be the greatest boat.

Dirk wants one.

"Guess I should go put the next one in." He stands up.

[knightime]

honest
it was an alternate older me that made it
but the webcomic i updated is basically this
only it was a comic and not a movie
funny how universes work

[Welp.]

also all the symbolism that was probably thrown in here
social commentary
etc
completely lost on me

[knightime]

Please do not get a giant smuppet boat. He will just ollie outtie into space somehow. He'll never come back.

ok

Honestly, these movies were terrible. Amazingly terrible? Terribly amazing? Jesus, whatever.

[fracturedsoul]

He's getting one. Someday. Just you watch.

He waves to Dave and heads back over to the DVD player.

[sobsprite]

"Yeah, sure." She tilted her head a bit. "But why aren't you just talking to me? You don't need to use the computer here." She got a twinge of a headache when she said that. This memory loss was really getting old.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Well, I'm just glad it's not just me who is missing that.

Don't tell Dirk that I have no idea about any of the ironic social commentary going on.

So, your world has alternate universes and stuff? You sound like you're comfortable with the idea.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex's smile fades and he looks away awkward and disheartened,] Ah, y-yeah, I never g-got the chance, really.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

"They study all s-sorts of animals f-for lots of things in m-my world," his smile faded though, "n-not always humanely...." Watching humane studies about how animals think and learn was interesting, but there was always the chance he found one that just reminded him too much of the studies that were done on him.

[straightupzorra]

Ugh, look, I don't care if you spent all day sitting in front of a computer, okay. That's just not my style, stop looking like I kicked your puppy.
