Movies in the Park, Wednesday Evening (04/18)

The weather was a bit better than the previous week, and there didn't seem a need this time for the tarps and awnings. The portable heaters were there, however, to take the chill from air as night drew on. Just before dusk, the temporary movie screen was set up. There was a large open area in front of it, where movie-goers could spread out blankets or set up lawn chairs. Some people were already gathered, picnicking while the sun set.

[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.]

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 Harvey (http://imdb.com/title/tt0042546/) with Jimmy Stewart and Josephine Hull.

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.

Can't promise to use everyone's suggestions, but if you have a movie you'd like to add to the list, please put it here. :)

Turtle didn't have much to do after work so she figured, what the hey? She'll go check out that park movie thing.

Annette used that glitter Turtle sold her and for some strange unknown reason, all of a sudden she was Doug Hoo and he was a track star. A damn good one too.

With his cheerleading skirt on cause it was all he could find in that damn room zomg! and tank top, he ran straight outdoors and for the park. But crap if he didn't see Tortoise! That had him slowing down and glaring at her.

"What the hell?"

Turtle looked up ~~her skirt~~ at Annette with an arched eyebrow. What was that look for? "What?" she retorted back. Did just having a cheerleading skirt kill brain cells or something?

Not that Turtle would be surprised if that were the case.

"What the hell you doing here, Tortoise?" Doug Hoo cocked a leg. "I'm running here and you are in my freaking way."

"Uh, it's Turtle? Turtle, Tortoise, completely different animals, dork. And you sure picked a crappy spot to do your jogging. There's a movie going on here!"

Turtle rolled her eyes. What? Now Annette the Pervert thought she owned the whole park of something?

...Briefly, Turtle's eyes widened. She should maybe go find those ducks before Annette did.

Doug started running in place, stretching his arms high over his head. "You are such a snotty brat, Tortoise. You've screwed up my mile run here. I was going at it just fine, but nooooo! God! It never fails!"

"Uh, you're the one that stopped," Turtle pointed out. Stupid dumb blondes. She shook her head.

He puffed out his chest, leering at her. Yeah, he knew she had a thing for him, stupid girls with stupid names. "You were in my way freaking way, Tortoise. What'd you want me to do, run right over you? You had that duh look on your face and as much as I wouldn't have minded knocking you over? I'm being cool about this." Doug stopped running, spread his legs, and stretched over, hands to toe, hands to toe.

"So? I know you like me."

"What?"

Turtle didn't know whether to laugh or to punch Annette in the face right then and there. She could reach, too, with her stretching like that, stupid blonde cheerleader and her legs and blondeness and pervertness and...

"Ew. No. No way. No way, Jose. That's just...yeah."

She snorted. She did not like Annette. That was just...weird.

Doug smirked and folded his arms across his chest. "Ew my ass. Just look at me. One day you're going to see my name plastered everywhere, Doug Hoo, gold medalist." He chortled. "Yeah, baby!"

...Gold medalist, yeah. In succeeding in the impossible: leaving Turtle Wexler speechless.

Did...Annette...just....call herself Doug Hoo? Jerkface Doug Hoo?

Turtle gawked.

And then started laughing. "Good one, Annette. Nice. Almost had me there. How the heck did you know about Doug? You been eavesdropping on my phone calls? Sneaking into my mail when you work? S'a really good impression, you should be an actress!"

He stared at her like she had just grown another head. "What the hell are you talking about, Tortoise?" He raised his brows and twirled his finger around in a small circle near his temple. "Coo coo, coo coo. I mean geeze, I knew you were a little off, but Annette? Who the hell is that?"

Turtle might notice that Annette was pretty freaking sparkly. Green even.

He cocked his leg again, knowing it looked good.

"Come on, Annette, really. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that you've moved here 'cause your dad's taking over Ching Tai. Lemme go tell all the cats in Fandom to hide, because they sure won't be able to run, not with," snerk "Doug Hoo, track star of Westington, on their tails!"

Her face was pink from the effort of not laughing.

Doug was going to push her if she didn't quit making fun of him. His face was turning red cause he was getting pissed. "You know I'm famous for my mile records. What the hell? My dad does own a Chinese restaurant, call it what you will, but dayuuuum, you are being a total dense brat tonight!"

Ugh, those stupid records. He never did shut up about them...Turtle shook her head. "Seriously, Annette, cut it out. S'getting weird. Nice try, though."

That's it. He didn't want to. He wasn't a girl pusher, but he so went to shove Tortoise. "You're going to eat those words, Tortoise! You're freaking me out!"

"Hey!" Fine, if Annette was going to be stubborn about this, Turtle'd throw out either something that would break her or get her to leave her allow. "Doug! So help me, if you don't go away right now, I will kick you in your shins so hard, by the time you recover, you'll be too old to even walk!"

Billy had a blanket and some drinks as he arrived at the park. He looked to be meeting up with his girlfriend.

The above-mentioned girlfriend arrived with a thoughtful look on her face.

League of their own?
ever after?
when harry met sally?

"Whoa!" That had him backing off in a flash. No way was he going to get in the way of her kicking anything. Especially his famous legs.

He started to back the hell up. "Fine...fine..." He pointed his finger at her. "But know this, Tortoise, I'm going to own this world one day, oh yeah, and you will bow down to my famous-ness!"
