CATACLYSM

On one hand, the town was being plagued by strangeness and narcolepsy. But there was also a class assignment where Zayne had to go on a date with a pretty girl. Zayne had absolutely no control over one of these things, so he and Rose were going to see a movie about... the end of the world, apparently.

"At least they didn't show this during the zombie invasion," Zayne said, looking at the marquee curiously.

[OOC: Here for the girl who picked the movie. Otherwise, the theater is open for all of your Aerosmith needs.]

"It's wrong to be jealous every time I hear about this zombie invasion, right?" Rose asked, and she had only drank more caffeine than she'd thought was humanly possible to try to stay awake for longer than an hour or two. Definitely more for Zayne and less for the the class. Cause she'd promised to introduce him to bad human culture, and dammit, that was happening.

"Probably, but I'll try not to think too poorly of you," Zayne joked. He couldn't help but notice that Rose looked really tired, he felt obliged to ask,"Are you going to be okay? We can reschedule."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She made a face at him. "So you're totally saying I look like crap, huh?"

Well, she kinda did, yeah.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"No, not at all! You just look a little tired," Zayne said. "But a very pretty kind of tired?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Aww, that made her grin. "Thank you," Rose said. Cause she was totally modest and thought he was right. "This is going to be fun. I'm just having that weird sleeping thing that radio keeps talking about. It's totally good."

"Well, hopefully the movie is exciting enough to keep you awake for a while," Zayne said as they headed into the theater.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"You're not going to keep me awake?" she teased, heading towards the counter. "D'you want to fulfill movie tradition with popcorn?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I'll do my best," Zayne promised. "And I think the popcorn is pretty much mandatory, isn't it?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"And chocolate," Rose decided, rubbing her eyes as another wave of tiredness came up. She ordered a popcorn and some Milk Duds (mandatory, yes) and paid the girl behind the counter.

It was officially Zayne's mission to try to keep Rose awake for as long as possible. "Do you want any soda?" Zayne checked.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Sure, but then there's the whole getting up and having to leave in the middle of saving the earth," Rose pointed out. "It's a conundrum."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Well, we wouldn't want to miss a thing in the movie," Zayne said as they walked toward the theater. "I guess we'll survive without it."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Just don't close your eyes," Rose agreed, automatically heading towards the front of the theatre. She stopped. "Do you have strong feelings about seat placement?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

Zayne, for his part, had been following Rose's lead. "Well, I'd prefer not to sit right next to a big group of people." He looked around the empty theater. "So no. No preference at all."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Here then," she decided, slipping into a row not quite all the way at the front. "And we can totally throw things when the people over there get loud."

Yeah, no people over there.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

Zayne followed and tried to judge how far he could throw popcorn from here. "They won't even know what hit them. Until they realize that it was probably popcorn, I guess."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"That's why we have the Milk Duds," Rose whispered, shaking the box. "Way more aerodynamic."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I'm learning so much from you," Zayne said. Whether or not that was a good thing was probably up for debate. "Although I am wondering why they call it the snack stand instead of the ammunition stand."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Because it's no fun if everyone knows," she smirked.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Well, everyone will know eventually," Zayne kidded. "It's just a matter of when."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Better for them to find out in an ambush," Rose decided. "We can have better weapons and placement."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I didn't realize you were a master strategist," Zayne said, sounding impressed.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"That's cause I'm not," Rose told him. "Just watched a lot of action movies."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Close enough," Zayne said. "This is an action movie too, right? I'm assuming with the name..."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Kinda would be against tradition not to see an action movie," Rose pointed out. "This one's about an asteroid that's going to hit earth. And so they have to, like, blow it up."
