Broadcast: Yas

When: 23/8

[Action]

[Vanquish crew might get a heads up that Katie's woken up by the short, one-sided conversation she appears to be having with a demanding and loud cat, muffled through the walls of the personnel room where she sleeps. Not that there's a lot of talking-- a lot of silence on her part, actually, punctuated first with the sharp words "How long?" And then a little later--"Oh, I see. Taking advantage of people again, are you? Tsk."

She lets herself out of the room eventually, still blinking drowsily and her hair tugged back into some semblance of a braid, Licorice a small black shadow winding around her ankles that seems very intent on tripping her up. Which-- don't give her that, you little shit.]

Doesn't work on me. If so many people are feeding you, I bet you've had scads of affection. Don't be such a brat.

[Doesn't stop her from padding barefoot into the kitchen anyway to fetch both of them some food. Morning, crew, wherever you are.]

[Text is my favourite medium]

It seems I slept through show and tell Pity But I only got some wonderful movies to add to our collection

[...they're like D-grade. One of them's called Attack of the Killer Refrigerator, I mean c'mon.]

I wonder, has anyone seen Event Horizon? Fantastic movie, though it's very far-fetched Plenty of loving moments Morpheus fought to free his crew from a ship that wouldn't let them go before he quit and went on to try proving the universe wasn't real I love sci-fi, don't you? Better than real life any day Has anyone given thought to the fact that maybe we're the cameras? What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

[She probably has points in there somewhere. She was going to waffle about movies ages ago, but then she fell asleep. How rude.]

((ooc: I haven't linked to Katie's permissions for a while.))

Movies are when someone records a play so they can watch it over and over later. Like on the communicators. Would you like to see one? I have some incredibly classy movies to watch.

[They're terrible.]

Is there a point to watching the same recording over and over? Does it change from viewing to viewing?

[She's not sure she trusts Katie's taste, but she is curious now.]

Some do. Some only your perception does. And sometimes you find something funny, so you want to laugh at it more than once.

So, it's like a book, but dumbed down.

Fine. I have some time to spare.

It's exactly like that! Do you know where the theatre is?

That doesn't inspire confidence.

No, where is it?

[You do realize that she's going to subject you to a MST3K-type commentary now, right?]

[If Katie ever inspires confidence she's doin it wrong.]

Left of the bar, turn up when you see the street sign. Say the secret word. [DIRECTIONS pls.] The sign's a little hard to see though. Would you like me to meet you somewhere on the Iskaulit?

[And thus a beautiful sight. Edna and MST3K is a calling.]

.....

[ Bless the person who taught her how to text properly. ]

I know where the bar is. Meet me there.

[ Ask and ye shall receive. ]

I'll see you at the Space Bar.

[She'll be waiting outside Malum. They're both across the hall from each other anyway lbr.]

[Edna spots Katie waiting by the bar and stops in front of her. Umbrella is firmly in hand.]

This is going to be dumb, isn't it?

Depends on your definition of dumb, I suppose. What about something that knows it's dumb and revels in it? [Eyebrow waggle.]

[That catches Edna's attention and she looks up at Katie with a slight narrowing to her eyes.]

There are things like that from you world? Fine. I can try it. If I don't like it, it'll be your fault.

It's usually my fault. Just blame me in advance. [Agreeably. She turns and heads theatrewards. I mean, hey, it's dark and there are a lot of old plush red seats and an actual cinema screen, so.]

That means lumping you in with Zaveid.

[And that's not something she does often. But she does follow Katie into the theater. If nothing else, it'll kill time that she'd otherwise be spending on the Blameless reading books.]

Having met Zaveid, I'll have to hold my peace. [Dryly.]

Take a seat, any seat. I'll see what I have to show you.

[She's totally putting on The Princess Bride, just FYI. Also FYI:] This is absolutely a kissing movie, no matter what anyone says.
