Movies in the park- Monday evening

[throughaphase]

The projector was set up in the park again, with all the room to set down chairs and blankets so people could hang out and watch.

Tino was also handing out toy totally-not-lightsabers which was not in the plan and he wasn't supposed to be involved in any of this so surely this would go well.

Arrive and Mingle

Get set up, share snacks you brought, don't take anybody's head off with a toy.

Rey was back this week with her blanket and snacks she'd picked up on the way. She'd seen this before. She also knew she didn't need the toy when she had a real one but Tino had not wanted to take no for an answer and so looks like she had a toy not-lightsaber now.

Raiden had once again brought pizza to share with anyone who looked hungry...but not the biblically accurate focaccia. He was leaving anything angel-related out of his leisure time, thanks.

Lydia felt like she ought to see what all the fuss was about with the 'movies.' As she understood it it was like television, but bigger? She supposed she would learn.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"Have you seen this one?" Rey asked from her blanket.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Oh, no," Lydia told her. "I haven't seen very many of your 'movies.' It's like a play, is it not?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Sort of?" Rey had never actually seen a play but she got the concept. "Only filmed and... different, I think."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Different how?" Lydia asked, then considered and said, "I suppose they can redo the bits where the actors make mistakes, at least, although that takes half the fun out of it."

Between one of them not understanding movies and the other not understanding plays, this was bound to go splendidly.

Well. Last time had been... Henry wasn't sure what it had been, exactly. But he had come back, albeit a little further away from the screen, where he curled up with a large bag of chips he'd found in a common room cupboard.

He had been eating a lot of those lately.

Steve gave him a slightly sheepish grin as Fee and Libby dragged him close to the potato chips Henry. "Hi."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatsmysword]

"Gdbewithye!"

Sorry, Henry had his mouth full of said potato chips. And he was absolutely looking at Fee and Libby first, hands already extended.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[heroic_jawline]

The dogs were rushing in--politely, for puppies--to get pet and maybe to lick some potato chip fingers.

"Back to figure out movies some more?" Steve asked.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr....of Skalitz," Lydia greeted him, just a trifle awkwardly. It was so inconsiderate of people not to have surnames! "Good evening."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatsmysword]

"Henry," Henry corrected easily, "Not miss-- what that was. But hello, god be with you. You're here for the moo-vie as well?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Oh, yes," Lydia said. "Have you seen one before?" Look, she'd missed last week. She didn't know. "It's supposed to be like a play, but it all happened earlier and they 'recorded' it. With technology. Like TikTok."

Lydia understood quite a bit about how to make TikTok videos by now, so yes, she was picturing people recording entire works of cinema on their StarkPhones.

Christopher was back with Anakin for the movie night and he had a red fake lightsaber. He thought he was hilarious. His father was much less amused and came stomping over after a terse argument with Tino about 1) how he also didn't want a fake lightsaber and 2) he wasn't cosplaying for the movie, he just dressed like this all the time.

This was still very weird for Jag, but less so than last week. And Dax and Daniel were having fun fighting with toys, though they were politely trying to stay out of people's way.

Jag was definitely reminding himself this was not a time to correct their form.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

Steve and the puppies were back. Just like last week, he'd taken them for a long walk so they'd fall asleep and let Steve and Tony enjoy the movie. Just like last week, Libby was tired and Fee looked like she could go another couple of miles.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

And Tony was breaking out the picnic snacks. Because normal people cracked open a can of caviar to eat with potato chips and sour cream, right? Right.

"I love this movie," he sighed happily.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Of course you do," he said. "Even with the space magic?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[imafuturist]

"It's fake space magic," Tony said like that explained everything. He offered Steve a 50 dollar chip.

Pam had debated the usefulness of coming here; she wasn't exactly a big fan of people, after all. But her Harley still wasn't answering the phone, and her gut was still unsettled.

Might as well come out here, find a spot underneath a tree, and sprawl in the grass. She didn't look to the screen much; she paid more attention to wind and the sky, and the life underneath her fingers, and the ebb and flow of small-town life.

Quiet, to some extent.

Kitty also had a kid with a toy fake lightsaber, but she was being respectful with it. Because this was a kid who knew a lot of the movie by heart and was calmly sitting in Kitty's lap for it. (She was so proud.)

Watch the movie

Most of you have probably seen it.
