Movie Night Bonanza - Semi-Closed

[bryces_pup]

Who: Riona and frands
Broadcast: Nope
Action: On the Blue Fish
When: Throughout the month on January!

The last couple months have been an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. Lots of ups and downs, and Riona finds herself in need of a break. A way to just get her mind off of everything. And then she remembers she's promised a number of people a movie night. The solution comes together easily from there, and she sets up a series of movie nights with her friends.

Once they arrive, there's a small area set up with some chairs, blankets and of course a viewing platform to watch the movies. There'll also be food and drink, whatever they both decide on.

Riona's been amassing a collection from different planets since she got in the fleet, and now they have quite a variety of genres to choose from:



Rom-Coms and Romances: There's quite the range, from rather sappy romances to outright cringe-worthy flicks. There are a couple gems in the collection, but most are just overly cheesy or stupid. If nothing else, they're good for a laugh and making sarcastic commentary.

Action: Explosions! Guns! Chases! Scantily clad women for no discernible reason! These run the gamut from serious thinkpieces to unabashed blockbusters with nary a cohesive plot to be found. Again, there are a few decent ones in the mix but most are just for sheer entertainment.

Horror: Spooooooky~ Good for a scare... and maybe some laughs. Gore fests or psychological thrillers abound. This is the smallest collection she has, but there are enough to pick from!

Comedy: When a laugh is needed. From trash humor filled with fart jokes to more subtle humor, there's a bit of something for every brand of humor.

Animation: People actually draw all of this! This is by far the most varied of Riona's collection. There's cutesy kid stuff, adventure flicks, and even a few heartbreakers.

Musical: Riona's favorite. Theater in its truest form, but with singing!! And not the stuffy opera kind either. Almost as varied as the animated stuff, there's quite a range, from romping comedies, romances, to tragedies.

Drama: But of course. Angst, revelations, twists and betrayals. These movies take themselves the most seriously. Some are quite decent, but others are laughable at times. Also great for making fun of if you feel inclined.

So come on over, pick a genre, and settle in for some fun times.

((OOC: This is closed to Riona and her CR. Anyone she knows and has talked to is open to this! Just pick a genre and also a movie if you have one in mind! Outside the ones in the fleet archives, any movie would probably need to be tweaked a little in terms of details (i.e names, places, etc) as it would likely have come from another world. If you have any questions please let me know!))

I don't really understand it. Bending is kind of...complicated. It's something to do with energy transfer? Zuko tried to explain it to me once, but it's weird.

[bryces_pup]

...right. You lost me at 'energy'. I'll just take your word for it.

[There's the sound of glass smashing from the movie. Well well, look who's broken into the house and has sent the teenagers inside in a panic?]

[alwayscomeback]

Good plan and- oh come on stop screaming. He can hear you, you losers!

[bryces_pup]

Nothing like blind panic to prevent you from thinking straight. [She watches in amusement as the murderer chases the teens throughout the house, with a few close calls for good measure.] Again, I repeat: weapons, weapons, weapons.

[alwayscomeback]

Ugh, I guess. Seems pretty lame.

[He shakes his head with a sigh. ]

ANYTHING can be a weapon, teenagers! Be creative!!

[bryces_pup]

These movies really don't advocate for common sense, or self-defense for that matter.

[But as she says that, one of the teenagers gets a little gutsy and grabs a shovel. When the killer comes around the corner, they clothesline him with it, sending him collapsing to the floor as they haul ass out of the house.]

...well what do you know.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka lets out a woop, raising his fists in the air. ]

Good job, random blonde teenager I forget the name of because I am utterly not invested in you. You just might get through this alive! Now get to safety and don't look back!

[Of course they look back, of course. ]

Nooooo forget the others, they're dumb! Save yourself!!!

[bryces_pup]

[Riona laughs, though also looks a bit shocked.]

You're suggesting they abandon their friends because they're dumb? [She gets it, but still...] So harsh.

[alwayscomeback]

I mean, statistically, they'd probably be dead anyway.

...

Ugh, but no. I'd probably go back and save their dumb asses, too.

[bryces_pup]

As would I. Dumb or not, friends are friends. And it seems he feels the same. [Said teenager seems to be baiting the baddie, trying to lead him on a chase and give his friends a shot at escaping.]

[alwayscomeback]

Awwww, look at him go. He's probably gonna die now, so they better make the most of it and-

...

Or they could just follow him sure, why not.
