Okay, so now that there's clean up happening, and we're not all going to die and separated.

[Which may have been the worst part of nearly dying, honestly.]

Do you know what I think we need? I think we need a movie night. No ghosts, zombies, skeletons or anything like that. Just a normal movie night. Something funny. Maybe something like Groundhog Day? Just something that goes good with popcorn and M&Ms and having a good time.

We could do it in the Merchant dome I think, or the park. A place where we can hang a big screen and everyone can just... relax.

That's a great idea.

I've been told that I need to see the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy.

[11calls]

They really are great movies. Well, the first three are. We don't talk about the fourth, it's truly terrible.

[minus1twin]

I think I've heard something like that.

I'll have to at least see the first three.

[Her voice is light and jovial.]

Do you know where we can rent movies here?

I'll need context before I can pass judgment. Let's assume I've never heard of this film.

[11calls]

Okay. Also, hi, I'm Alex.

The movie is about a weatherman who gets sent to upstate New York in order to cover what is sort of a meaningless event: Groundhog day where people see if this particular groundhog will see his shadow or not. If he sees his shadow, it's still six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't? Still six more weeks of Winter.

The man is kind of an ass, but he keeps repeating the twenty-four hours over and over, in like an infinite loop until he becomes a better person and makes his love interest fall in love with him. But it's pretty funny.

[What a painfully human ritual. They were so bent on being controlled by some outside force they left their seasons to a rodent.]

It sounds...charming. And they live happily ever after, I take it?

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Alex. I am Loki of Asgard.

Okay, I know it's ghosts but hear me out: Ghostbusters.

[11calls]

Well, two problems with that! First: which one and second if we do it, Richard's probably going to complain about the science all the way through it.

[She may know this from personal experience.]

[mostunworthy]

The first one, obviously, and Richard can go sit in the corner.

[He actually doesn't respond immediately, but he gets to thinking, and realizing that he's not as sad when he's doing something.]

That was a pretty good movie.

[11calls]

It is a pretty good movie, and light enough for the kids, but also adult enough to keep us amused too.

Does that mean you'll come?

[Yes, she sounds hopeful. She's worried.]

[customplates]

Bill Murry's pretty classic, yeah.

[He sounds so tired.]

How can I say no now?

What's a movie?

[She hasn't gotten there in her studies.]

[11calls]

A movie is a story told in pictures. Sort of like a play but without it being live and in front of you. It's on a screen and it's always the same.

[winebending]

I didn't realize you had those on land.

[Well, she supposes she did since Arthur said he'd seen Pinocchio as a movie, but she hadn't really thought about it much.]

[of_bokthersa]

I'm afraid you'd have to explain all of this to me.

[11calls]

The movie itself or what a movie is? Because I can definitely do both!

[of_bokthersa]

Both would be appreciated.

[interconnectedness]

You're strange sometimes.

[11calls]

[That makes her laugh.]

After so long watching me, you're only now discovering this?

[interconnectedness]

You occasionally outdo yourself.

A movie is a story told in pictures. Sort of like a play but without it being live and in front of you. It's on a screen and it's always the same. They're fun.

Groundhog Day? You could at least pick a decent one of his. Little Shop of Horrors, at least.

[11calls]

[Well, that sounds a little like the Doctor, but Scottish.]

Well, a musical's a hard sell. Doctor did you do something to your voice?
