Movies in the Park, 10/25

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

The portable screen has been set up once again, and people are beginning to stake out their favorite spots. With the weather cooling off, outdoor gas heaters have been set up in various locations around the cinema area.

Bring your date or meet your friends, or just find a quiet place to enjoy a good movie. The film begins at dusk.


[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).]

Before the Movie

Grab a space in the grass to lay out your blanket, or bring along a lawn chair to relax in. Snuggle with your date, chat with your friends, enjoy a picnic dinner before the movie starts.

Since both had things to attend to during the afternoon, Aziraphale and Wilson had agreed to meet at the park a little while before the movie started. The angel arrived a bit early, and chose a nice spot to spread out the tartan blanket he'd brought. Stretching out on it to wait, he watched the comings and goings in the park.

After getting off duty at the clinic Wilson had headed straight back to the apartment. Once there, he showered and changed into warm, casual clothes with one of the angel’s sweaters being tugged on over a turtleneck. The sweater was one of Phale well worn ones and so hung down off Wilson’s hands a little and swirled lightly down a bit lower than his hips.

Then, he’d pulled the new picnic basket (http://www.picnicfun.com/products/pioneer-picnic-basket) he’d picked up out of the closet where he’d hidden it and began to pack it.

Needless to say, he’d gotten the tartan trim.

Packing up a meal of gravlax and toasted bread, deviled eggs, chilled asparagus wrapped in Italian ham –with a few simply wrapped in fresh mozzarella- and caponata picnic sandwiches (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_27264,00.html?rsrc=search) he added a bottle of a nice Chianti and some biscuits for dessert.

Slipping on his leather jacket, Wilson headed down to meet Phale in the park, the basket hung over his shoulder as he picked his way towards the movie spot. When he spied the angel sprawled out on a tartan blanket he grinned and called out.

“Hey there, handsome! Need a date for the night?”

Ahh but he loved angel blushes!

And angel blushes were exactly what Wilson got, accompanied by a bright smile as Aziraphale moved to make room on the blanket.

"Good evening, love. Did you have a good day at the clinic?"

Waiting for the young doctor to make himself comfortable, Aziraphale leaned in to steal a quick kiss and then began unpacking the basket. His face lit up when he saw what was inside, and he grinned at Wilson. "James, you didn't have to go to all this trouble!"

After doing a little bit of looking into this week's movie-in-the-park, Chrono knew that, if a movie about spies and love affairs didn't get Rosette in a better mood, well, it was hopeless. Would have to call up Remington that night and tell him that somehow, something had sucked away her soul.

So he took the initiative to make the picnic up, lay down a blanket, and virtually drag her there while still balancing the basket in his arms. "Come on, Rosette, you liked the last movie so much, and this one'll be good, too. And look. I brought wine this time, see?"

...Okay, Rosette had to admit. The wine helped. A lot. She sat down on the blanket while Chrono set things up, and smiled a bit. "Thanks, Chrono."

Billy a blanket wrapped around him like a tartan, began looking for a likely place to set up, or some friendly faces to join.

He had soda and cookies for to bribe.

Lana set out a blanket deliberately a bit apart from where the others were. She was still feeling rather emotionally raw from recent events, but she had wanted to be outside and she did love this movie.

Re: Before the Movie

Another blanket settled around her shoulders before a pair of arms did, a kiss dropping on the crown of her head. "Hey."

Re: Before the Movie

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiled up at him and let herself relax back into his arms.

Clark brought a thermos of coffee, and a bax of cheesits. And a bag of sunflower seeds for saigo who was waddling alongside him. Together they looked for either someone to join, or a nice spot to claim.

During the Movie

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

No one minds if you talk at outdoor movie. Or if you huddle under the blanket with your date.

Tonight's movie is Notorious (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038787/) with Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains.

Angela came prepared with a picnic basket carrying the last few leftovers from her weekend visit, and spread out a blanket. She was wearing a thick sweater and sipping hot cider against the chill.

Marty, for once, was not wearing a suit but jeans and a sweater. He was also carrying another blanket. "Are you warm enough? We could find a space closer to the heater."

Parker waved from her blanket, and said, "Hey, come over and steal cookies when you need a sugar break."

Re: During the Movie

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's got a picnic basket with wine, cookies for J,GoB, and deli food from the Perk.

She settles near Angela and Marty on a big blanket, and waits for any of her other friends to show up too.

Alanna flopped down next to Parker. "One nighmare? Over with."

Re: During the Movie

Anders had a tray of cupcakes -- big surprise -- when he found Parker's picnic blanket and flopped down rather unceremoniously on a corner of it. "Got your email," he said briefly.

Isabel spread out a blanket near Parker and held up a large thermos. "I've got hot cider."

Re: During the Movie

It was a movie about spies during some really big war on this world. Where did you think Aly was going to be?

She'd brought a blanket and coffee though because she'd gotten far too used to the tropical heat of the Copper Isles and this? was far, far too cold.

Re: During the Movie

See Alanna chatter with Parker and Isabel. See Alanna glance over. See Alanna spray wine all over her jeans as she chokes on it. See Faithful roll his eyes at her inability to get over the fact that her daughter is in school as her teacher.

"Hey, Alianne," Parker said, looking mischevious. "Here to watch the spy games?"

Onscreen, Cary Grant was sneaking around a wine cellar.

After the Movie

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

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.

OOC

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

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

Re: OOC

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Philadelphia Story!

(And Notorious is probably my very favorite movie ever. Okay, tied for first. But up there.
