♣ 014 | Video - Action

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam stared at the theater for a long time before slowly shuffling along, looking at one movie theater poster after another. He hasn't ventured here before, preferring to stick with more traditional entertainment, but tonight, he felt adventurous.

-- And the ticking noise of the empty apartment was starting to get to him.

Quietly, he took out his phone and hesitated. Sometimes, advice was welcomed, and other times... No helping it. Turning it on, he showed them a pan of the movie posters:

Loverboy
Better off Dead
The Blob
The Expendables
An American Tail

After a long pause, he turns the phone so he can frown into it. ] I'm afraid I've never seen a movie before. Are any of these worth seeing? [ although it hardly matters. Anything to get the ticking to stop. ]

The Blob, definitely! It's a classic and cheesy, so you can't go wrong.

jegus christ

The pictures all look strange.

[ What is all of this. ]

[coyote_walking]

I'd go for The Blob Though if you like big blow-em-up action adventure stuff with some tongue-in-cheek humor, The Expendables is pretty good. Lots of really gratuitous spurting blood, though.

[misfortunes]

Well. They must be worth the new experience, at least—mustn't they, Mister Lunettes?

I haven't seen any of those, but I must admit that An American Tail looks like it would be really cute!

[It has animals and it looks like a cartoon... at least that's what she's heard that style of art called.]

[ he shifts back over to that poster, scrutinizing it very closer. ] Hmm... it does seem as though it would, uh... bright. [ he's no judge of movies. Honestly. ]

Are you well today, Lady Estellise?

[haring_to_go]

[ he frowns ] I'm not entirely sure of the experience, but my research has lead me to believe it's supposed to be pleasant. [ he just hopes he manages to escape any... horror flicks as he's been told. He had enough of that these last six months or so. ]

[haring_to_go]

Uh, that's... [ he turns up his nose a little, but more because he's getting a little green at that comment about the blood ] sounds a little violent, doesn't it?

[ not that he's opposed! But, should he take the chance? ]

voice;

[haring_to_go]

Yes, they are a little, um... weird, but I've heard that a movie is supposed to be an experience one shouldn't ever miss.

[ mostly quoting from a pamphlet he read. He's not entirely sure, still, if he should believe it. ]

Are you interested in viewing a movie sometime? [ he wouldn't lie, but the company would be appreciated. He just assumes Leo would much prefer Elliot's company. ]

[haring_to_go]

[ he stares at his phone ] My name is Liam Lunettes, not jegus christ. I'm afraid you've made a mistake. And I've never seen a movie. I'm afraid I have no idea what these are about.

[ he's used to being looked down upon, but it still hurts! ]

[haring_to_go]

Cheesy you say? [ oh that does sound delicious. A movie about food! Although they certainly could have picked a better name for it then The Blob. And that poster is so misleading! ]

voice;

[dispossess]

[ Doesn't.......realize that is an invitation. ]

I haven't heard the same, so I don't think so.

voice;

[haring_to_go]

[ oh, as he thought. Liam must do this alone. ]

I see... [ his voice wavers a little, but only a little. He's far too used to trying to cover his shame least he be teased. It rarely works. ] Then, do you have other plans for the night?

[ just a momentary distraction. He can hardly afford to insult Leo by pushing the subject. ]

voice;

[dispossess]

[ Baw, Liam :( ]

Not exactly.

[ ...reading? ]

voice;

[haring_to_go]

[ ... as he thought. Leo didn't like him at all then. Ah well, it had been worth a try as he liked to say. He simply preferred actual success (and it was expected of him too! Damn you, Rufus.) ]

Then might I suggest you take [ elliot for ] a walk? The evening air might do you and Elliot some good. [ he can be a doddering old man if he wants to. Stufu. ]

voice;

[dispossess]

...I don't know what you've been told, but it's better for both of us if you don't force yourself to act concerned about me.

[misfortunes]

You've researched them?

[sickbeat]

hahaha omfg
ok well
add the saw series in there too

[coyote_walking]

It is pretty violent, I admit.

So if you're not into action/adventure stuff you should probably give it a pass.

voice;

[haring_to_go]

[ huh? ]

I... I apologize. I shouldn't have overstepped my boundaries. [ he was only a bit concerned because, well... he was brand new himself not too long ago. He knows how difficult it can be to adjust. ]

[haring_to_go]

[ he furrows his brow ] It's a common enough phenomenon here. I came across it in my research on the City and decided to follow-up on it. [ he is Liam Lunettes if nothing else! no detail goes unverified. ]

[haring_to_go]

[ the red is starting to hurt his eyes. ]

Yes, well. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. However, I'm afraid that doesn't appear to be airing tonight.

[haring_to_go]

Adventure is perfectly fine; I simply see no reason to be so... graphic. [ he sees enough of that on a daily basis back home. It was hardly pretty and by no means fun. ]

[misfortunes]

Well. . . you might make some judgment by their titles.
