Movies in the Park, Wednesday at Dusk (04/11)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Once again, it's raining on movie day, but there are plenty of tarps laid on the ground and awnings hung overhead to protect people from getting wet, and some portable heaters have been set up to chase away the evening chill. Just a little while before dusk, the temporary movie screen is set up. There's a large open area in front of it, where movie-goers can spread out blankets or set up lawn chairs. Some people are already gathered, picnicking while the sun sets.

[OOC: The movie begins at dusk, and the screen will be removed afterwards. Things have been handwavily arranged in a way that allows people to watch the movie without getting wet if it rains. 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.]

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

Lana helped spread out the blanket, then sat down on it, leaving plenty of space for Jim to sit apart from her if he wanted - though she hoped he wouldn't.

She was just glad that he'd been willing to come with her. The movies had been such a good part of their early dating that maybe they'd help get things back on a more normal setting.

Jim settled down beside her, his legs stretching out as he leaned back on his hands, one planted behind and to the opposite side of Lana, his arm almost but not quite around her. "So what are we watching this time?"

"The Philadelphia Story," she said with a smile. "We saw it here once before." She ducked her head a little. "That was a good night."

He nudged her with a small smirk. "Refresh my memory?"

Re: Before the Movie Begins

"Of the movie or the good night?" she asked with a small grin of her own.

"Do you think I care about the movie?"

Holding an umbrella to stave off the rain, Billy arrived with Ami. "Lemme know if you see a good spot." he said. Anything was likely to be more comfortable than the tree.

"Over there?" Ami pointed to a likely looking spot, lookingaround to check ifsetsuna was around. She wasn't sure if she watnedher to be or not.

"I like it." he nodded. It was out of the rain and there was a good view of the screen. When they got there he pulled the blanket out of the backpack that he totally had the whole time omg.

Rosette was there with a blanket for the ground and sandwiches for her stomach because you had to have sandwiches, it was tradition, and now all she needed was her date. Chrono had decided to "let" her and John have some privacy, although, really, he just wanted to enjoy the church being quiet.

John showed up, wearing his cowboy duster that didn't quite fit and didn't quite look good on him on a horse or a Harley, but he thought was cool.

"Hiya! Did I miss anything?"

Re: Before the Movie Begins

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Rosette smiled up at John from the spot she'd chosen and patted the ground next to her for him to join her. "Think you're even relatively early. Don't think they'll start for few."

Re: Before the Movie Begins

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Awesome!" he said, taking off the duster to use as a blanket. "Can't wait!"

Re: Before the Movie Begins

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Know anything about this one?" Rosette asked, head tilting, waiting to rest it on John's shoulder the moment she had a chance.

Stanley and modded w/ permission Agatha arrive for the movie, finding a comfortable spot out of the way to enjoy classic cinema mastery.

During the Movie

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

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

This week's film is The Philadelphia Story (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/) with Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart.

After the Movie Ends

[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, set up an impromptu game of after-dark frisbee, etc.
