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.

Dirk wasn't expecting anyone, not even Dave, to pick up on the oodles and oodles of symbolism interwoven into those hideous filters and artifacts. He knew that to anyone not in the loop the SBAHJ movies would just look like so much shit piled on top of festering shit.

Still, every so often he chanced a glance over at Dave to see how he was taking this. Completely motionless and cool? Prior to getting to know the kid, Dirk would have expected that from the younger version of his ancestor. Now, though, it strikes him as odd.

[knightime]

He just doesn't know how to react to it. You make a kid watch a movie like the shitty comic he drew just a year and tell him this made him famous and of course he's gonna lose all his shit.

Dave's shit is totally lost. He's pretty proud he didn't somehow flip out even if his mind is basically having it's own little war right now. He wants to comment on it, but that's like trying to comment on something you made. Except it's on the screen and not an webcomic.

[fracturedsoul]

Well, at least he's not fainting like the other Dave.

Once the "moive" is finished, there's a bathroom/eye-cleansing break. Dirk heads over to where Dave's sitting.

"So?"

[knightime]

Oh. God damn. He didn't think Dirk was gonna approach him.

Okay, that's a lie. He totally know the other was gonna approach him.

can i get back to you on that?

[fracturedsoul]

He glances down to his PDA and then back up at Dave.

"Not sure what to think? No biggie. Most people react that way." If the reviews he read online were any indication, anyway. "I'm mainly just wondering how close they are to your webcomic."

[knightime]

no
i mean
no its pretty spot on like
...
i have no idea how to feel about this
just gonna put my cards on the table
this shit is whack
my mind is blown
it basically took a vacation and ollied outtie faster than a jack rabbit on a hot summer texan day
piece of shit
left me to try and deal with this
what else can i say
oh
all these feelings
i cant hold them
its like the niagara falls decided to throw itself at me
except its all overflowing feelings and whatever

Dave is basically flipping his shit in the best way possible. Poker face and all, but that was a lot of text to explain absolutely jack shit.

[fracturedsoul]

Oh, so the poor kid was overwhelmed.

"I wonder how Bro would take hearing that he stunned his younger self into incoherent babbling."

[knightime]

man
that isnt even funny

Shut up. How else is he supposed to feel about this? It's a lot to take in!

[fracturedsoul]

Dirk thinks it's plenty funny, but whatever.

"Eh, I guess I'd probably feel the same if you told me your sis had made rapbots or smuppets a household name in your timeline, so whatever." He finally just takes a seat next to Dave.

[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."

[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]

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.
