Movie night! [OPEN]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: As promised over the network, Dick's organised a movie night for students (and faculty) in one of the classrooms.
WHEN: 1st November, evening
WHERE: School classroom generously volunteered by one of the staff
WARNINGS: Teens? Snacks? Movies? Things should be tame but you never know!

With help, Dick's managed to get all the furniture in the classroom stacked up against one wall, the cleared floorspace now covered in beanbags from the library, pillows, blankets, even the odd mattress here and there. Some tables have been lined up against another wall to fill with snacks and drinks brought by everyone, ranging from leftover sweets gathered the night before to fresh hot pizza, steaming away in the open cartons. Volunteering chaperones Zian, Booker and Feliks might have their hands full with all these kids, but at least the food's good!

Before the movie watching starts, the students gather round with the DVDs and Blu-rays they've brought, voting on which ones they want to see and which ones can be sadly put away for another night. Once that's done, straws are drawn to pick viewing order, and it's set.

The lights dim, let the movie watching begin!

((OOC: This is an open mingle log for all players to just come in and have fun.))

[a - action]

Rinka hadn't seen most of the movies they were watching tonight. And while her English was more or less okay and having subtitles helped a little, sometimes the dialogue was too quick or used a word she just didn't know. So somewhere around the middle, Rinka lost the plot completely. Confused, she glanced the person sitting nearest to her.

"What just happened?"

[b - animated]

Okay, she'd seen the Disney film before, only dubbed into Japanese. So while watching it in English was a little different, she at least knew what was going on 100%. Or so she thought. She was definitely noticing some translation differences and it showed on her face.

Kanji's had a good couple of years to get his English up to speed, at least: he's got a better idea of what's going on.
...Slightly.

Through a mouthful of popcorn-

"Eh? The bad guy just said he was the good guy's long lost brother 'n he flipped out..."

"Oh! The one he thought died when they were children?"

That made so much more sense than what she'd thought he said.

"I can understand why he's upset."

She munched thoughtfully on a chip as she wondered how the hero would turn his brother back to the side of good.

"Yeah, that's it. Seriously don't blame - damn, did ya see that?" he interrupts, rocking forward in his seat.
That punch definitely wasn't a good sign for family unity.

Rinka jumped a little in surprise.

"No! He's your brother! Don't fight!"

She's definitely one of those yell-uselessly-at-the-TV sort of movie watches.
realmenknitplushies: (39.)

Apologies for the delay!

On the edge of his seat here, Kanji goes for more popcorn.

"I - I don't think he's gonna stop..."

"I don't care if he's your brother! Stop leaving yourself so open!"

Chips are completely forgotten at this point as Rinka decides the hero isn't defending himself properly due to being emotionally compromised.
