Where: Movie theater
When: 8/12
Rating: PG probably?
Summary: Clem saved their butts and Tim promised her a bad movie night and oh my god Clem i am so sorry
The Story:

[He doesn't actually know what movie Jay picked out, which is probably not the best way to start things out. He's never been one to really trust Jay's intuition on anything, but given that Jay's choosing a horrible movie to watch instead of making a potentially life-threatening choice to enter the woods armed with little more than a camera and some scaldingly good intentions, that's probably the least harmful decision Tim could leave him to make.]

[The movie theater's empty for the next handful of hours, near as he can tell, which is for the best, 'cause he's pretty sure no one else save for a few freaks like them would be technically eager to watch what is bound to be a painfully despicable work of cinema.]

[He hangs back after shooting Clem a text to let her know the time and place, hoping that Jay's technical knowledge of how movies work means he's the most cut out to be the guy to physically set it up.]

[Jay grins at Clementine's comment about his familiarity with the plot. If he's honest with himself, he'd rather have a reputation as a bad movie nerd than the reputation he's already got back home.]

[He raises his eyebrows at Tim.]


Maybe the rent was cheap.

[Jay grabs his own handful of popcorn, eyes back on the screen.]

I mean, the genre lines weren't exactly the same back then. A lot of horror had those...I dunno, sci-fi "elements," I guess you could say. [There's a sarcastic edge to his voice.]

[The aliens bring the undead onto their ship and nearly get attacked. ("Turn off the electrodes quickly! They can't tell us from anyone else!")

Back on earth, the police fumble through an investigation of an open grave, which turns out to be...the grave of a former investigator on their team! ("It's Inspector Clay's grave! But he ain't in it!") Which the viewers already know, because he's been lurching around undead for the past fifteen minutes of the movie.]
