Mystery Sign Theatre, Saturday Evening

[chosehumanity]

It was probably a good idea if no one asked Mitchell how he'd even gotten this idea in the first place. The point was that after several weeks stuck in Bristol, watching new fledgeling vampires wake up for the first time, he needed a distraction, and this seemed like a really good idea. Considering the timing, and all that.

He was probably horribly wrong about that.

Still, by morning that day, the sign above the movie theatre read a cheery.

SHOWING TONIGHT:
The Petey Sci-Fi Talky Picture
Amuse Yrself Any Way
Apprpriate

Mitchell might still have been chock-full of humanity issues, but he was feeling pretty good about this one.

Lobby/Concessions

[chosehumanity]

Arrive! Purchase food stuffs! Throw food stuffs at each other! Talk! Whatever it is you do.

Jono really hadn't opted to bring anybody along, but he'd managed to catch wind somewhere during his mope that the local Cinema was going to be putting on the good stuff, and he'd managed to haul his pathetic arse out of bed in order to both get together all of the supplies that one needed for such a show, and also to come here in the first place.

Okay, maybe he looked like he was feeling a little bit of antici-





-pation. Even if he wasn't in costume. He really wasn't a corset kind of guy.

"Hey," Rinoa said, popping into the seat next to Jono's for some much-needed explanations. "Why is this in my bag?"

She held up the bra and slip for Jono to investigate.

"Squall's has some kind of shiny underwear," she said. "I'd think they were costumes, but most of it's missing."

It was probably a bad sign that the clerks at Holiday Grove had all but pulled a slutty maid costume over Quinn's head, topped it off with a frizzy brown wig, and then pushed her out the door and down the street.

It was likely a worse sign that they were cackling as they did it. And that they kept her clothes.

Dispirited, Quinn sulked down the street and, seeing some activity at the theater, decided to pop in. It beat walking around in a costume the day before Halloween -- and maybe there'd be some cute boy without his shirt on.

She took a bag of supplies and studied it, trying to figure out what the water pistol was for.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

Rinoa arrived at the theater, reluctant knight in tow. It wasn't a date. (As he would tell you, loudly, were you to ask.) She had simply pointed out that she could use an escort, and he'd agreed.

She wasn't sure why the movie came with a bag of supplies, or why her bag had ... clothing, at the bottom? She glanced around, noticing Quinn's costume.

"Are we supposed to wear these?" she asked, frowning at hers. There didn't seem to be all that much to it, was all.

(bag accidentally having clothes was OK'd by chose_humanity TYVM ♥)

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"No," Squall answered.

And if they were supposed to, he wasn't going to.

"It's just a movie. I'm not wearing a costume."

Or so he thought.

Makita loved movies, even if half the time the cultural references went over her head. She was getting there, slowly, but this was a whole different world, on top of being a different country.

Candy was being purchased, lots of candy. Someone should pity Jenny and/or Proto.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[make-the-shot.livejournal.com]

Hey, Proto liked candy! He wasn't even close to being in Makita's class with the stuff, but... He was grinning as he slid into the seat next to her.

"So, what is this one about?" he asked as he divided up the stash. Half and half. That way Makita would have to steal from him when she burned through hers.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

Rinoa waved at the other girl. "You two should get costumes," she announced.

No, she didn't know the other girl. (Although the guy with her was in her group, in Revolutions class, so he got a wave, too.) No, she didn't know what the costumes were. But so what? They should put on costumes all the same.

After all, she was wearing ... a bra and a torn slip. They had told her there was a good reason for that, and she had believed them.

Watch the Film

[chosehumanity]

Or participate. Or both. Or do something that isn't film-watching but takes place in a movie theatre anyway. Just remember when to duck and/or put in earplugs.

Re: Watch the Film

[furnaceface]

Confetti? Check. Playing cards? Check. Flashlight? Check. Toast? Double-check. He'd had to buy a loaf, and since he wasn't going to eat it, he'd just toasted the entire damn thing in case other people hadn't come prepared.

And shame on them if they hadn't.

Re: Watch the Film

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Squall, in his skimpy gold underwear, blond wig, and nothing else, snarled at Jono. This was all his fault.

Re: Watch the Film

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Can I have some toast?" Quinn asked.

She might throw it. She also might just eat it. She was kind of hungry.

Re: Watch the Film

[gorka-wolf.livejournal.com]

Okay, this was stranger than most movies already, with all the people and all the things, but there was one person Maki recognized.

"What is all this?" she asked, leaning over Jono's shoulder to stare at his stash. "If you wanted to toast something, I would have brought Pop Tarts."

Re: Watch the Film

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn wasn't big on the participation.

At first.

Her too-cool-for-this attitude wasn't likely to last very long.

Re: Watch the Film

[angelo_wings]

"I like your costume," Rinoa said, a little self-conscious in her bra-and-torn-slip, but trying not to let on. "Which character are you?"

And once Quinn had enlightened her on that, maybe she could tell her which one she was supposed to be.

Re: Watch the Film

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Squall was with her on the whole too-cool-for-this thing. Although he'd tell anyone who asked that he didn't care about being cool.

"What are you supposed to be?" he asked her, gesturing at her costume. Aside from an attractive maid, of course, because that's what she looked like.

Re: Watch the Film

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa wasn't sure what to do with most of the items from the bag, but she was entirely willing to fling things at the screen regardless of whether she'd picked the right thing to throw. So there was that.

Re: Watch the Film

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Squall wasn't sure what to do with the items in the bag either, and didn't care. This whole thing just seemed too strange.

After a crash course in what the hell was going on from Jono (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/5533833.html?thread=216241289#t216241289), he handed Rinoa some toast. "Here. You'll need this."

Mitchell's Office

Where he can be found prior to and after the showing.

OOC

[chosehumanity]

I couldn't find any pre-existing meta for Rocky Horror, which makes me frowny-face because it has to exist, dammit.

ALSO SO NOT MY FAULT.

Re: OOC

[furnaceface]

And now it exists! *Salute* Ask and ye shall receive!

Re: OOC

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Not my fault either! I blame inneedofcoffee. And Ryan Murphy.

Always Ryan Murphy.

Re: OOC

[onapalebicycle.livejournal.com]

Is it wrong to say that Quinn looks really hot as Magenta? Because she does zomg.
