Movie Sign Theater 3000, Thursday evening

[fates_jaye]

Jaye's not sure the last time she walked into the now moddable theater to see a movie. Usually she'd just get bored and walk in while on the clock with a bag of popcorn she hadn't paid for.

The marquee tonight says "PYTHON" tonight and it has Casper Van Dien so it has to be bad.

"Want me to steal something from the concessions stand?" Jaye asks Jarod when they've gotten inside.


[For Jarod, but consider the theater open for your Casper Van Dienish needs. ...Please tell me no one has those.]

Jarod was sometimes law-abiding. He pulled a couple of boxes of candy out of his inside jacket pocket and handed one to Jaye. "I understand sneaking snacks in is traditional?"

Jaye looks over, grinning. "I'm impressed. You've done your research," she says, taking the box.

"It's amazing what you can find out on the internet," Jarod smiled back. He didn't mention the results of searches he'd done involving the words "movie" and "candy". After talking to GOB the night before, he'd ended up with some very strange dreams. "So, have you seen this movie before? How bad are we talking?"

[fates_jaye]

"I have not seen it," she admits. "I have, however, seen Python 2, which dealt with a whole other snake, so it was probably really only the same movie only with a different cast and different CGI. So yeah, this has to be bad. But hopefully funny bad."

"Won't that be confusing?" Jarod asked, holding the door for her as they walked into the theater. "Having seen the sequel first? And how do you know it was a different snake?"

[fates_jaye]

"Thank you," she says, walking in ahead. She decides she doesn't want to spoil things for him by telling him that all monster movies end with the thing dying and the sequel is an entirely different thing. Skip that part. "If you look it up on IMDb, the cast is totally different. Which means a new writer and producers and director and probably an entirely different production company got a hold of it to start some weird franchise. It's bad movie standard."

"Huh." He looked at her admiringly and wasn't at all searching for an Adam's apple, really. "You seem to be an expert on the subject."

[fates_jaye]

"Nope, I just know a gimmick when I see one. Oh, and there's the whole thing where I've wasted a lot of time on weekends," she says with a nod. But no Adam's apple.

"Is it a waste, if you learned something?" Jarod asked, trying not to look overly relieved at the lack of Adam's apple.

[fates_jaye]

She considers this. "No, no it's not. And I'm so using that on my parents sometime, thank you."

"Glad I could help," he looked around the open theater, having no idea where the best seats were. "Where do you want to sit?"

[fates_jaye]

"Well, I think we have our pick. But the best are in the center, usually right smack dab in the middle. Is there good?" she asks, pointing.

"There's great," he said, letting her go first down the row. Sydney had raised him to be a gentleman. "So, how's your first week back been?"

[fates_jaye]

"I've been through all my classes and haven't managed detention dammit, so it's going pretty good," she says. "How about you? Any more fires where they don't belong?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

He chuckled. "No, though there was a great deal of incense burnt yesterday." Jarod stretched out in his seat and propped his feet on the chair in front of him. "Do you know why GOB would think it was illegal?"

[fates_jaye]

"Incense? Like the sticks you burn?" she asks. "I'm going to go with maybe 'because GOB is weird'."

"More little cones, but yeah. And I think he thought I was dating a guy," Jarod said, still trying to work that part out.

[fates_jaye]

She looks over at him and says, "...You're not, are you?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod gave her a weird look. "No, of course not."

[fates_jaye]

"You look at me funny now, but it should probably be a standard dating question," she says with a nod. "And also, good. Yay."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Are you dating any guys?" Hey, she said it should be standard. Seemed fair to him.

[fates_jaye]

"Nope," she says. "Or girls, either, while we're asking."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod took a few minutes to enjoy that image. Hey, nineteen-year-old guy.

[fates_jaye]

"You done yet?" Jaye asks, but she's smiling.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Just another few seconds," Jarod said, then opened his eyes and grinned innocently at her. "There were props."
