Mystery Sign Theatre 3000, Wednesday

[vanillajello]

Last night, Kate had finally managed to get a call through to her mother after nearly a week of trying (and before that, over a week of not bothering to even try because she'd needed a bit of distance). She'd been expecting to have to cover for why she'd been out of contact for so long, but her mother had actually seemed pretty mellow, and hadn't said a single thing about any missed calls.

The explanation had come soon enough, though. When Kate had carefully asked about how Charmaine had been doing after the wedding/family secret unveiling extravaganza, her mom had said the strangest thing. "Well, I think she's still coming to terms with it, I mean it's only been three days."

...According to Kate's perception of the world, it had been over two weeks. Oh yeah. Welcome to having timeline issues, Kate. She was pretty adamant to not think about that at all today. Her senior prom was coming up, so it really was time to think about accessories, rather than give herself a headache trying to figure out interdimensional time differences or, God forbid, think about the stuff she'd told Mitchell about a few days ago.

The hardest question she wanted to be dealing with today was who was going to ask who to the prom. (She figured it was Bod's turn this year.) The day's movie was a comedy, too, and she approved of that.

Juliet got to the theater to meet Sov a little early, but she didn't mind.It gave her extra time to scope out the theater and look over the movie posters in the lobby.

She was excited about the date, but that wouldn't stop her from devoting some mental energy to wondering how she would look in some of the pictured costumes.

Sov hadn't been to the theater before, so the whole movie going experience was a new thing, just like going on a date. They walked in through the door, trying not to look nervous at all, and smiled when they saw Juliet.

"Hi! What are you looking at?"

Re: Mod Your Lobby/Concessions [Apr 13]

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Juliet returned with a bright smile. Her hand fluttered over her hair for a moment. "Just the posters. I'm always curious to see what's coming out soon."

Re: Mod Your Lobby/Concessions [Apr 13]

[child-of-rer.livejournal.com]

Moving to stand next to her, Sov looked up at the posters. "Do you know any of these?" They smiled a little.

"Not yet," Juliet said, a little wistfully, as she gestured to one particular poster (http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Water-for-Elephants-movie-poster.jpg). "I want to see this one when it comes out. I love fashion from this era, and the actor is to die for. Plus it just looks romantic."

Re: Mod Your Lobby/Concessions [Apr 13]

[child-of-rer.livejournal.com]

Sov, after studying the poster a little closer, said: "What's an elephant?" Because they wasn't sure which era this was or which actor she was talking about. It didn't matter, however. It was nice to spend time with Juliet, even if they didn't understand everything she talked about.

"What do you think is romantic?" The concept wasn't really a big thing in Rer.

"A bit gray animal with a trunk," Juliet explained, a bit vaguely, but it gave her time to think about the larger question. "Romantic is ... oh, you know. Holding hands and soft colors and walks in the moonlight. And candles. And old books."

Re: Mod Your Lobby/Concessions [Apr 13]

[child-of-rer.livejournal.com]

The elephant description gave Sov a really strange idea of the animal, but they were distracted by the other response. "I like moonlight walks. And old books."

"Do you?" Juliet smiled, turning toward the concession counter. maybe they should get some popcorn.... "Have you read anything here, or is it all books from home?"

Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

Wherein Kate has a coffee machine going all through the day, because it's important to have caffeine readily available when you're ignoring stuff. Yes.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell had come in early that day, though he knew that Eric - if he was around - wouldn't be up until evening anyway.

He didn't much care. In fact, he was a little shell-shocked, which would explain why he poured himself some coffee and sank down in his chair without saying a word to anyone.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

Kate was picking up on a definite mood, which didn't surprise her, all things considered. Still, her coffee was here, so stopping by a time or ten was kind of necessary. "So what do you think?" she wondered, lightly heading for the coffee pot. "Should I go classy or quirky?"

No, she wasn't really expecting him to give much of a useful answer. Or even know what she was talking about.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[chosehumanity]

"Go for quirky, you can't pull off 'classy'," Mitchell informed the ceiling, and took a sip of his coffee.

It was slightly difficult with his head bent back over the chair like that, but he was working it like a champ.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

As much as she'd just been making small talk, that got a glare. "Gee, thanks."

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[chosehumanity]

"You're a teenager. Classy doesn't set in until your acne clears off," Mitchell told her, drawling. Mostly out of sheer ennui.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

"I have impossibly perfect TV teenager skin don't have acne!" Kate snapped. Really, now, did he have to go and try make her insecure about her appearance right before a big dance? ... Not that her confidence was quite that easily shaken. "What's with all the insults?"

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[chosehumanity]

He was torn somewhere between happiness (Lucy), fear (death up ahead?) and general emotional turmoil (he looked a lot healthier than usual this morning). Well. That would be the honest answer.

"It just feels like a day for it," Mitchell said instead, though he at least lifted his head up enough to look at her.

Re: Manager's Office [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

He was greeted by one of those unimpressed looks Kate was so good at. "Well, it doesn't feel like a day to be on the receiving end of it, so cut it the fuck out."

OOC [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

I get to mess with Kate's timeline because it's not like the show itself is too picky about it. She was 15 in late S1, yet this week's episode (early S3) states she's now 19. Even though only two years (max!) of in-show time have passed. Yeah.

Also Bradley is probably my dorkiest meta thus far.

Re: OOC [Apr 13]

[bitchprince]

AHAHAHAHA +100 for the meta.

Re: OOC [Apr 13]

[vanillajello]

HEE. I was looking at the title and going "ugggh obviously this should be another proper name but I can't come up with anything that has any relation to th-- OH OH OH WAIT I AM A GENIUS".

Re: OOC [Apr 13]

[bitchprince]

He approves.
