Movies in the Park, 11/01

It's that time of the week again, and the portable movie screen has been set up in the park. The outdoor gas heaters are also in place, to create a pleasant atmosphere for movie-watching.

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).]

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.

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

Tonight's movie is The Philadelphia Story (http://imdb.com/title/tt0032904/), with Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and James Stewart.

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? We've got a movie for next week, but ideas are welcome for the week after.

Both men were in a much more solemn mood than they had been the day before, but evening found Aziraphale and Wilson staking out one of their favorite spots in the park to watch this week's film. They'd had a quick supper at home this time, but had brought along a thermos of spiced cider to enjoy.

Spreading out the familiar tartan blanket, Aziraphale settled against the trunk of a tree, the young doctor quickly making himself comfortable in the angel's arms, as they sat quietly to watch the movie.

Jake had cut his hair, got a thermos of coffee, and the newest issue of the Spider. He had a blanket, and he was totally ready with presents for Friday. Life, he decided, was pretty good.

Krycek sat down on the blanket beside Jake, smiling slightly. "You ever seen this one before?"

"Nope." Jake shook his head. "Have you?" Not having to constantly push his bangs out of his eyes was very odd.

Rory was on her way to the Perk on a mid-evening coffee run when she spotted him, and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Jess?" she asked, loud enough to be heard but still uncertain and disbelieving.

Jake really only heard the 'J' part of the name and Rory's voice. He turned his head a little and waved. "Hi Rory!"

"...what are you doing here?" she asked, blinking. "Did you not like New York or California or wherever else you were?"

Jake blinked back. "The hell are you talking about? I came back months ago."

Rory stared. "Nuh uh!" Which was really not the most intelligent thing for her to say. "I mean, you were in Alexandria in like...February, but that's it. Unless you've been hiding really well."

Suddenly, she paled a bit. "Oh my God, has Dean seen you? Or my mom? I think Mom might kill you if she hasn't seen you yet, so I need to talk to her first."

Jake didn't really follow any of that, but then he caught a name he knew and grinned. "I've met Dean, yes. He's very interesting." He blinked. "What? Why? What did I do? I haven't done anything!"

He thought quickly to make sure he hadn't accidentally stolen Lorelai's coffee at some point. Nooo.. He was fairly sure he hadn't.

"Where do you want me to start?" she asked, staring at him. "Let's see, Dean's never liked you due to that whole thing where we broke up because of you. And then there was the whole, oh, I don't know, leaving without saying goodbye or anything thing, because you just had to go off to California for whatever reason. And then you came back randomly and...seriously, what are you doing here now?"

Jake gaped at her, then said, "Rory? Have you been drinking so very funny coffee lately?"

"No!" Rory said, then paused. "Hmm. Maybe, you um, haven't done that stuff yet? I suppose that's possible. How old are you? You look the right age, though."

"Uh..." Jake glanced over at Krycek and then stared at Rory again. She didn't look like she was from the future, but with Rory it could be a little hard to tell. "I'm... nineteen?"

Rory did some quick math. "Then you're from my future! I just turned eighteen, so you should've, too. How can you not know what you did?"

Lyra headed out to the park with a blanket big enough to share with anyone who hadn't thought to bring one, a huge cuddly wool sweater, a big bag of popcorn, and a six-pack of Coke.

Now, to find the right spot. She and Pan bickered good naturedly about which place would be best while they wandered about the park in front of the screen

Jack picked a spot off to the side. He had two blankets - one for snuggling on and one for snuggling under - a large thermos of Kahlua laced coffee, popcorn and a bag of Reeses Pieces.

Smiling in satisfaction, he stretched out on his stomach, making himself comfortable while he waited for his dates.

"...You were at my birthday party, you should know how old I am," Jake said slowly. "Have you hit your head recently? Are you sure about the coffee thing?"

"You were in New York for your birthday!" she insisted. "Or California. Maybe you decided to randomly leave again, and there's some girl in Venice Beach who has no idea you've even gone!"

It had taken a while, but it was finally dawning on Jake that Rory was either completely crazy - and no one that fond of coffee could be completely crazy -- or she was mistaking him for someone else.

"Rory? I'm Jake. I cut my hair, so I realize you're seeing more of my face that you ever have, but seriously."

Rory blinked. "Jake?" she squeaked.

And then the blushing started. "Oh. Oh. Um, sorry. Jakey, you look exactly like my ex-boyfriend. Who, um, is kind of a jerk. You might have gathered this."
