[ it also only really works if your ship is called something ridiculous like the tourist. come on. that positively screams for some ridiculous t-shirt and tour action!

he frowns ever so lightly at that - kitty hadn't told him she had a problem with wanda. but then, it could very easily be that wanda felt the need to apologize for something that kitty didn't deem necessary, that happens too. ]

Sorry, she's still at work, but she'll come here later if you wanna hang out and wait for her? I could pull out the projector and put on a movie - or, we still got some decent food -

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She looks a little disappointed when she hears Kitty's apparently still at work and not around. However, Winn's offer to pull out the projector certainly catches her interest. Though, she is a little hesitant to accept the offer right away.]

I wouldn't want to impose.

[winn]

[ he waves it off ]

I don't offer to do things I don't wanna do, that's other people's job.

[ oh, the things he's been roped into doing. ]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She opens her mouth for a moment. Not quite sure how to respond to that. Instead, she makes a kind of half-snort, half-chuckle sound that becomes a soft giggle after a moment.]

All right then. If you insist.

[She really did want to see this projector operation of there's.]

[winn]

So which option are we going for? Or are we doing both, cuz I'm good with both, movies and food go pretty perfectly together.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Maybe it's Winn's easy-going demeanor, but Wanda decides she can bring in a little more of her typical wry humor.]

Well, it's not really a movie without popcorn is it?

[winn]

[ he is so good with wry humor! ]

Mmhm... [ scrunching his face apologetically ] sorry, we don't have popcorn. Can I interest you in vending machine space chips?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda makes a big show of faking like she's sorely disappointed. A heavy sigh and dejected look on her face.]

Well, I suppose if that's all you have...

[winn]

I'm very sorry, please don't slay us on Yelp. Cola? Water? Tea? Coffee?

[ he is actually sorry, both because popcorn is awesome, and because he hates disappointing people. ]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda can't keep up the act. She snorts, giggles, and completely breaks character. She smiles gratefully at Winn.]

Tea would be perfect, thank you.

[She'll wait for him to return with snacks and drinks before pestering him with another question.]

I assume you already have a movie in mind?

[winn]

Well - [ the tone of his voice and the glint in his eyes say she's totally right. he gives her her tea - the good kind, the real tea, the kind he keeps for guests. ] I was thinking ye olde network classic - Princess Bride. Have you seen it?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

"Princess... Bride?" Never heard of it.

[It sounded a little too sappy to Wanda. In fact... was it a romance movie? Was that okay for Wanda to be watching with Kitty's boyfriend without her around? Naturally, Wanda's thoughts could possibly be inferred by the look on her face.]

[winn]

[ g a s p !!! ]

Seriously? Okay we have to fix that, it's amazing - it's got action, magic, pirates, a giant, and some of cinema's most quoted lines! You're gonna love it, sit sit!

[ his way of addressing those concerns - mentioning everything around the romance. plus, it's the best movie they got by miles. a princess bride virgin! he hasn't watched it with one of those since fenris! he's excited!

setting up the projector. ]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Well, that didn't too bad at all.]

Magic and pirates?

[She quirks an eyebrow, and her warm grin returns.]

All right, I'm interested.

No quoting any lines though until after I've seen it once.

[winn]

[ pout. ]

Spoilsport.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She gives him the raised eyebrow, scolding him like a mother.]

It's no fun if you're the only one doing it, and I'm just sitting here!

[winn]

[ he should probably worry at some point, that he keeps bringing out everyone's inner parental instincts.

he doesn't, though, he's totally fine with it. ]

Okay but you know what that means - Movie Night: the Reckoning. We gotta do this again.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[A snort and a giggle again from Wanda.]

Only if it is good enough to warrant a second viewing.

[winn]

If, she says! Trust me, it warrants a 500th viewing.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Another snrk from Wanda.]

My, but you clearly are a big fan. You better not be over selling though. I would hate for it to not match my expectations after you've raised them so high.

[winn]

There are a lot of movies that can't hold up to expectations, even here where most of what we got are B movies that suck on purpose. This? Is not one of them.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

A "B movie?" A movie about bees? Why would those be made to suck on purpose?

[She supposes it might be that bees are not the most interesting of subjects for a movie. Let alone apparently multiple movies. He had used the plural, hadn't he?]

[winn]

[ he laughs, sorry wanda but that was pretty funny. ]

Bees are sometimes involved, but they're not strictly necessary. A B-movie's a low budget movie. A lot of them are just intentionally hilariously bad. They have terrible effects, often over and under acting, they're fun.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She doesn't quite get what's so funny at first, but she does guess that it's not because the films are about bees after all.]

[However, as Winn explains, her smile returns a little and she blushes slightly in embarrassment.]

I guess I would have to see one to understand what you mean.

[winn]

There's a whole collection in the movie theater, we could check them out next movie night. [ he pauses ] Actually, next movie night probably needs to be a Princess Bride rewatch...maybe the one after that.
