interfaith dinner mingle!!

[stefanged]

Who: Interfaith Center regulars & the not-so-regulars (party crashers are welcome too!!)
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit
When: Forward-dated to November 4th

[The Interfaith Center sounds far more bustling and busy than usual - and anyone peering inside would quickly figure out that a communal dinner is underway! Take off your shoes and walk in: the lounge has extra tablecloths on the floor as well as buffet tables with non-alcoholic beverages and all sorts of food, including Jordanian cuisine (or the outer space equivalent of Jordanian food).

The board games are out of their hiding nooks; the furniture's arranged for the maximum seating possible; and even the teddy bears donated by Kitty & Winn are out for cuddling, should anyone want them.

The kitchen's bustling with helpers - Stefan's running around at vamp-speed to make sure everything's a) done on time and b) cooked to perfection - but he sure wouldn't mind an extra hand. And if you're still not up for some food? Well, the prayer rooms are open as usual. There's always a quiet moment to be found, even if the laughter's louder and the scent of freshly-baked mansaf's wafting through the long corridors.

Anyone and everyone who's ever been inside the Interfaith Center has been invited (via text message - and Stefan even used the fancy emoji). If you're not particularly faithful or devout? Well, drop by anyways. There's more than enough food to spare.]

[Stefan snorts, trying so, so hard to keep a laugh from escaping - but of course, he's snickering too.]

Do you remember when we were all on the Marsiva, and Caesar played it like every single day?

[save_the_souls]

Ugh, yes.

It was that or Bran watching Sharknado all the time.

[stefanged]

I still don't get the appeal of that one. You'd think that after a whole month I would, but no. Still a mystery.

[save_the_souls]

I think it's supposed to be one of those "It's so bad, it's good" movies? Because you know, people are scared of sharks and tornadoes, but put them together and it's mostly....ridiculous?

[stefanged]

Ohhhh yeah. I forgot those were a thing.

[ . . . ]

Is that why Space Jam's so popular?

[save_the_souls]

[ . . . . . ]

Wait, that thing is actually popular?

[HE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ALEX AND CLAY BEING WEIRD]

[stefanged]

Kind of. [He sighs, hanging his head in mock shame.] It's not Oscar-worthy, but people remix songs to it all the time, and you can't go too far without someone referencing it.

[save_the_souls]

[ . . . ]

I really don't get it.

[stefanged]

You and me both, but knowing our luck? We'll be bombarded with it again.

[save_the_souls]

Oh God, you're probably right.

[Groans]

Clay's terrible with any movie about space. He insists on watching them, but then he spends the whole time complaining about how inaccurate they are. And then he keeps complaining afterwards!

[stefanged]

See, no one in Hollywood ever gets the outer space stuff right. I'd get it more if they knew and were being willfully dumb, but we've got a leg up on 99.9% of the population.

[That said....]

Also, believe me, I remember. We played Katamari together.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...yes, the Katamari games. I remember now.

[The day Stefan's addiction had been born. Truly amazing day]

But even if they were being willfully dumb, who cares? I know there's no sound in space and wouldn't be explosions- but it looks cool!

I mean, The Exorcist gets just about everything wrong, and I still love that movie!

[stefanged]

Man, you sound like my brother. He could sit through anything as long as he had a good time - and I mean anything, that man had absolutely no taste.

[As opposed to, Stefan guesses, his semi-okay taste in movies and literature.]

Half the fun's seeing how it'll look on screen, right? Why else would we go to the movies?

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs] Yeah, that sounds like me alright. Even a really bad movie can be a good movie to watch.

[Trash movies are the best okay]

It's true! And the popcorn! And candy! And nachos! [Because of course that's what Allen cares about]

[stefanged]

[He isn't even remotely surprised.]

Somehow, I think you care just a bit more about the concessions than the content.

[save_the_souls]

Nuh uh! It's all part of a great package of an evening!

[stefanged]

You'll have to forgive me if I don't quite believe you.

[save_the_souls]

[Feign offense]

That hurts, Stefan.

[stefanged]

What? [He's teasing, even if his smile's a little more confident than usual.] It's what I like about you.

Anytime I need a willing test-taster, you're only a phone call away.
