Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment, Monday

[2_old_for_this]

After the usual greetings and settling in, Peter cleared his throat and gave everybody a slightly sheepish wave. "So today's is...hopefully something some of you will really enjoy, though I have no idea how realistic it is, so if it's not, I apologize. It should be fairly obvious from the title what kind of movie it is, so -" He started the movie.

Eat the snacks, talk amongst yourselves...

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Once again, today was 'Fjord plus rabbit' day. At least today he could put Amaya in front of a bowl of popcorn in the hopes that this was, in fact, the correct thing to do with a rabbit.

... Look, this was one of her weekly things. He didn't know the first thing about rabbits, but he at least wanted to do right by Amaya.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Fenris gave the rabbit an amused look. "I think rabbits prefer the corn before it's popped. Maybe she'd like the awful crunchy bits?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[built_fjord_tough]

"Hell if I know," Fjord sighed. "Pretty sure this rabbit is just pissed I keep not giving her meat on sticks."

The nerve of you, Fjord.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[mages_suck]

"Why not? I'm sure Amaya knows what she can eat and what she can't," Fenris said reasonably.

Seivarden hadn't been here for a while, but since she had been home sick for a few days she wanted to get out of the apartment.

She leaned back, ignoring anyone else here.

Watch the movie

[2_old_for_this]

There's a dragon. The effects were great for the time. There's a plucky princess who goes senselessly to her death. There are heroes. Enjoy!

Re: Watch the movie

Fjord shrugged as he settled in to watch this one, avoiding the popcorn this week.

Hey, this movie... actually kind of made sense to him.

Score.

Re: Watch the movie

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden chewed on a popcorn from her very own bowl, then said: "Those dragons don't exist, do they? I mean here?"

She hoped they had better weapons against them than they had in this movie, in that case.

Re: Watch the movie

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord turned a glance toward Seivarden at that.

"Haven't seen any on the island. They'd be hard to miss. Back home, sure. In Amaya's world too, I think."

...

"And there was one in the forge on Wednesday, but Wednesday doesn't count."

Re: Watch the movie

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden glanced at Fjord, deliberately avoiding his arms. Or shoulders. Then she glanced at the rabbit.

"Why doesn't... Oh, yes, Wednesday. How did it fit in the forge?"

Re: Watch the movie

[mages_suck]

"On the island? Not that I've seen," Fenris sounded disappointed, "Where I'm from, yes. Bigger than this. This one is about half the size of the ones I'm used to."

Re: Watch the movie

[1000yearstoolate]

"How do you get rid of them?" Seivarden asked, turning her head to look at Fenris.

Re: Watch the movie

[notallbluemonks]

"Why is it always virgin girls? What kind of bullshit is that?"

Yes, that was Beau throwing popcorn. This was what you were going to have to deal with tonight, folks. Sorry.

Re: Watch the movie

[mages_suck]

Fenris was also baffled. "How would the dragon even know and why would it care? Meat is meat." He shot Beau a look, "They don't, where I'm from. Care, I mean. They eat everything within range."

Re: Watch the movie

[notallbluemonks]

"Some of the ones in our world are like that. There's some that are more intelligent, some of 'em are even good supposedly, but . . ." Beau snorted and winged another piece of popcorn at the screen. "Like I'm pretty sure none of 'em give a shit about bullshit social constructs 'cause what do dragons care about our civilization anyway?"

Re: Watch the movie

[2_old_for_this]

"It's an old legend," Peter said. "I know it makes no sense."

Honestly, it seemed a good way to encourage girls to have sex, which the middle ages hadn't really been all about.

Re: Watch the movie

[notallbluemonks]

"Which is why it shouldn't work," Beau grumbled. "And what the fuck counts there, anyway? Who decides that?"

Don't get her started, Peter.

Talk to Peter

[2_old_for_this]

He's here! He's actually never met a dragon.

OOC!

[2_old_for_this]

I was surprised to find this is apparently a critically acclaimed and highly awarded movie. The only part I remember is the lottery. So enjoy a movie that's better than I thought!
