Movies in the Park, Wednesday at Dusk

Wednesday has turned out to be a beautiful fall day and a gorgeous fall evening. Just a little while before dusk, a temporary movie screen is set up at one end of the park. There's a large grassy area in front of it, where movie-goers can spread out blankets or set up lawn chairs. Some people are already gathered, picnicing on the grass while the sun sets.

[OOC: The movie begins at dusk, and the screen will be removed afterwards. OCD threads ~~will be~~ have been set up for your movie-going use. Anyone who needs the park for other purposes will find that the outdoor cinema takes up only a portion of the park, with plenty of space available for non-movie needs. This is the first in a series, which will run every Wednesday until mid-November (barring an unexpectedly cold autumn).]

Talk with your friends, meet new people, hang out with your date, play with your dog. The film begins at dusk.

Feel free to discuss or mock the movie, or snuggle with your significant other. (Just keep things PG13.)

This week's film is Roman Holiday (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046250/) with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

They're taking down the screen until next week, but you can still talk about what you just saw, continue snuggling with your date, or make plans to meet your friends for drinks, a late dinner, or more socializing.

Questions? Suggestions? A movie you'd like to see next week?

"Aziraphale... Tartan?"

"What, love? It's stylish and warm."

"It's tartan."

"Being in love means little sacrifices." Kiss!

Flail...sigh...grumble. "Tartan."

But with the Lindsay tartan blanket hooked over his arm, Wilson walked out into the park with the angel. Phale carried a picnic basket over his one arm, the other wrapped around the young doctor's waist as they looked around for a good spot.

"I'm glad you spotted this, lover mine. I adore Audrey Hepburn. I think Katherine had the greater range, mind you but Audrey could just captivate you."

Aziraphale smiled his agreement as he watched the young doctor spread the blanket on the grass. "I agree, love. The Hepburn ladies made some of my favorite films."

Setting the basket down, he made himself comfortable on the blanket and waited for Wilson to snuggle up next to him. "I have to admit, though, I've never been to a movie outdoors before. I do like the picnic part of it, though."

"I've come to the conclusion, love." Wilson said as he reached into the picnic basket and withdrew the bottle of chilled wine within. "That you like food. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if that's why you went and fell in love with me. I feed you."

Dark eyes were twinkling as he said this and he leaned over to kiss the angel's cheek, before applying himself to the task of getting the cork out of the bottle.

"Er, well...yes, I do like food. Always have, really. It's certainly one of the perks of having a mortal form."

His eyes were merry, and he returned the kiss, then began unpacking the rest of what they'd brought along. Which consisted of cold roast chicken for Aziraphale, a vegetable pita wrap for Wilson, and of course the required picnic staples of chips (except that these were sweet potato chips) and cookies.

OMG I love this idea!!!!!

Taking his vegetable pita wrap with an approving noise, Wilson picked up the two plastic glasses they'd brought along and poured out the wine.

"I like some of the other perks myself." He said with a wicked waggle of his eyebrows.

"Yes, I rather thought you might." The angel gave a slightly embarrassed little grin and picked up his glass. Wine out of plastic glasses. What was the world coming to?

Oh look, they're not plastic anymore. Fancy that.

"What do you think we ought to have tomorrow for dinner, love? Do you know if there's anything Miss Alianne or Miss Sciuto won't eat?"

Blair was well prepared with a couple of blankets in hand and a big furry hat perched on his hat. He spread out one of the blankets on a level spot and grinned at River. "You're cute, but I'm warning you now not to steal more than your share of the blanket."

Yay! Thank you!

River grinned mischieviously. "Can I steal your hat then?" She sat down and wrapped her share of the blanket around her, then carefully placed her head on Blair's shoulder.

((ooc: OMG cute hat!))

"I don't know if you're that cute." Blair wrapped an arm around River and grinned. "I might be convinced to rent out the hat for a small fee."

He was definetly thinking about kisses right now.

River gave him a teasing look and then kissed him quickly. "Now?" she asked.

Blair tried to give a long-suffering sigh but the dopey grin on his face spoiled it. He plopped the hat onto River's head and adjusted the flaps. "There you go. Although I think it looks cuter on me."

"I don't know but I was thinking of going with my five mushroom lasagna (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_10048,00.html) with a rosemary, olive oil bread and a fresh salad?"

Taking a sip out of his now glassified wine glass, he shifted around until he could use the angel's chest as a prop.

"You get to pick the wine."

River gave him another kiss, longer and a bit more enthusiastic this time. "Why?" she asked.

"Uh...why what?" She really expected him to have a conversation while she was kissing him? Blair smiled at her before leaning in to kiss her back.

"Mmm...I love your lasagnas," Aziraphale replied, wrapping one arm around the young doctor's chest and conjuring up a nice smallish boulder to lean back against. "And that bread sounds delicious. Perhaps a fruit salad instead of a green one? Perhaps an apple salad (http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1943,159189-237200,00.html)?"

The angel thought on the wine issue, finally coming up with a suggestion. "What about a pinot grigio? I think that would go well."

"If you can't concentrate on our conversation how are you going to be able to watch the movie?" River looked completely serious. She had had practise on teasing people after all.

As much as she'd been getting used to modern society, Rosette still couldn't help getting absolutely excited about movies, especially when said movies were going to be played on very large screens and late picnic dinners could be involved. So between organ practising and reading about 11th Century Russian hell, Rosette and Chrono threw together a bunch of sandwiches and snacks in the kitchette in the basements, packed it up in a basket, and headed for the park.

They found themselves a nice spot, spread out a blanket and settled in. Rosette's bouncing kind of went down, though, when she realized that she had quite naturally made extra food, because she still went in the habit of packing for the expeditions Chrono, herself, and her brother had always gone on when she was younger. And this was just the sort of event Joshua would have loved to have gone too...

Chrono tilted his head, as if he'd noticed the sudden change in disposition and Rosette, not wanting him to worry, quickly put on a smile and started chatting to him irreverently about how this was sure going to beat sneaking out early for missions to just catch the news reels back home.

"There's a movie?" Blair looked around in shock before laughing. "I'm paying attention to our conversation. Seriously. We can talk about scientific equations or latin verb tenses or..."

Between the kisses and the cuteness of River in his hat, Blair was getting distracted very easily.

"Extra cheese and I'll make one side with extra mushrooms, just for you." Wilson said with a soft chuckle, nesting in comfortably. The angle was going to be just perfect for watching the movie on the screen and angel pillows were the best.

"Oooh...yes!" He peeked up briefly. "That apple salad you made that time you mean? That would be wonderful, Aziraphale and seasonal!"
