Sora was sitting in the Black common room, trying to figure out the PDA she'd bought earlier in the day. It wasn't too different from things she'd used before, and it didn't take her long to get in a conversation.

The bad weather had left her feeling a little melancholy, but that was past now. She wasn't sure what to expect from the movies here, but that wasn't the point. The point was to get a bunch of people together and go have fun!

Now, where should she start looking...

[Feel free to have an excited Sora run into your character just about anywhere in Fortitude.]

Alex hadn't been spending much time in Fortitude since he became a Prefect, but he liked wandering through the campus on walks. This time he was outside, trying to coax a squirrel to approach him with a piece of fruit. When the small animal ran off, he looked around to figure out just why.

Seeing Sora he forgot his disappointment and waved, eating the piece of fruit himself.

"Hey Alex!" She remembered him from when they'd fought during the trip. They hadn't really talked much, but he seemed nice enough!

"Want to go see a movie?"

Alex grins, trying to figure out which Sora this was. Either way, a movie sounded like fun. "S-sure!"

Really big smile! "Yeah!" It was already going well!

"We didn't set a particular time to meet, but I'm going to keep looking for people a while longer. Invite anyone else you run into too, okay!"

"I c-can ask Becca!" Because what is a movie without your girlfriend?

"Wh-who else's g-going?"

"Everyone! I'm inviting people from Fortitude, and America's getting people from Conquest, and then we'll all go together!"

"I c-can go ta the prefects b-building! Try t-ta find more people!"

"More people for what?" Becca asked, walking over since she was nearby and overheard some of the conversation.

"Prefects building... Oh yeah, I'm not supposed to go in there myself, right?" Nice save, Alex!

Then to Becca she replied, "To go see a movie! We don't really know what it'll be like... but it should be fun to go and find out!"

Alex jumped, not having heard Becca come up behind him. He laughed and smiled at her, "No, but we c-can k-keep it c-covered! I w-wonder what movies there a-are."

"Yeah we can invite all the Prefects," Becca grinned, moving over to slide her arm around Alex's waist. "A movie sounds great. We've gotta invite Shion."

Sora smiled. It was still kind of refreshing seeing couples where neither partner seemed to be scared of the other.

"I don't know! America thinks they'll be 'American films', but Suzaku thinks they wouldn't be... and I'm not really sure what he meant by that anyway."

"Of c-course we'll invite Shion!" And he was still a little jealous of Shion, but he would really like to have Shion join them as well.

Alex does jump the slightest bit, but he was getting more and more used to Becca doing things like that, and he relaxed quickly with a brighter smile. He puts his arm around her shoulders, pulling her a bit closer.

"Ah! A-America's a c-country. W-we make g-good movies."

3... 2... 1... "W-wait, this person's name's 'America'?"

He hadn't met any of the countries yet.

Juri was reading in the Pale common room when Sora came in. To tell the truth, she was rather glad for the interruption; the book had been a bit dry, but she hadn't been able to come up with anything more interesting to do. She lowered the book and looked up at Sora. "Ah, hello."

Sora was honestly a bit intimidated by Juri, but was trying to keep it under control. After all, she'd known other people like this, and they'd been good people when she got to know them.

"Hello! Ah... would you like to go see a movie?"

Juri considered for a moment. She didn't go to movies often, and she didn't exactly know Sora well, but she didn't exactly have anything else to do, and it wouldn't hurt to socialize a bit more with her fellow students.

"Certainly. Thank you," she said—then, as the thought occurred to her, added "Which movie are you going to see?"

Sora felt a bit better at that response.

Didn't mean she could answer Juri's question, of course. "Actually, we don't have any idea what there'll be..."

"I see," said Juri. In the former-student-council-member corner of her mind, she couldn't help thinking that it was a little sloppy to organize such an outing without knowing that, but she was just an ordinary student now--and besides, she did appreciate that Sora had organized it in the first place. So she wasn't going to criticize.

"Well, I'll come along to see what there is, then. At the least, I'll become better acquainted with the town." Juri hadn't been off-campus much in the time she'd been at Fortitude—a habit left over from her days at Ohtori, when there hadn't been much of anywhere else to go.

Juri was quite an optimist if she thought there was any organization involved here! "No one I've talked to seems to have actually been there before. But I'm sure there'll be something good."

"Great! Oh, and you can invite anyone else you want too."

"Thank you. I'll leave the invitations to you," Juri said--it sounded better, after all, than admitting that she had no one to invite. Most of the people she knew even in passing had been so fortunate as to have left already. Which was hardly fair.
