Movie Night!
Who: Anyone who wants to come watch Dinosaur movies
Where: The Movie Theater, Fourth Floor
When: Friday April 8th, 8pm
Rating: PG-13 for Raptors
Summary: Jurassic Park Movie Night
The Story:
As soon as people start showing up in the theater, a gentle song begins playing in the background. They will see the obvious screen on the back wall, but what's more, the seating is surrounded by prehistoric foliage. And in that foliage, stands a hand full of herbivorous dinosaurs. They seem to be grazing on the vegetation without a care in the world. If someone reaches out to touch, the holograms will destabilize as their hand passes right through them only to form back together once the disruption is gone. Even the vegetation seems to be a holographic projection along with the imitated grass floor and night sky. In the four corners of the room, set into the ceiling, are small domes that flicker ever so slightly as they cast and regulate the projections. The occasional T-Rex roar will echo in the background of the music, making the small herd of Parasaurolophus look up with a fright, then lower their heads back down.
The lights dim and the movie begins, the noise surrounding the holograms quiets as to not interrupt from the movies, only to return during the short breaks between films.
If you stray over to the refreshments table, thick brush and tall grass will conceal a deadly pair of raptors lurking. Appropriately themed snacks are set up on the table, including a few sweet treats courtesy of Darcy (including jello shots).
Occasionally, an unwary snacker will come to a fright as one or both of said hunters will pop out of the grass with a sharp, chittering cry. Lucky for the unfortunate victim, the jumpscare is all there is to worry about. The tricky little raptors will slink back down into the grass and lie in wait for their next victim. Don't spill your popcorn, its just an illusion.
You're welcome.

no subject
Fortunately, he's distracted by the next part of the lesson before he can say anything on that.]
What? Queens? Queens aren't a race. You do know that, right? Queen is just a title. We have a queen in Ferelden and she can't do all of this.
[Though it would be nice if Anora could just waltz in a send them all home. Assuming she'd let him go too and not leave him stuck here alone and out of the way.]
no subject
she stamps her foot again, an aggravated noise bursting forth from her.]
I know that, but I haven't seen them, so I don't know what they are exactly.
no subject
[He knows what she means - she's a small, green whatever and they do have other races in Thedas - but if she's going to be grumpy he's going to be difficult.]
Wonderland people but still people.
[Unless they are in fact demons. Which he's not entirely discounting.]
no subject
I shouldn't have expected anything less from a human. Comprehending the vast assortment of races in the universe is too difficult for your inferior brains.
no subject
Oh, now it's an 'inferior brain' is it? That's just mean. If you're so smart you think you'd understand being nice to people.
[Or maybe cotton on to the fact he's just being an ass. But that wouldn't be any fun so.]
no subject
You're as bad as Steven and not nearly as endearing about it!
no subject
[Look at this face. How can you not love it?]
no subject
no subject
Well. If we're starting over. [He extends a hand and smiles.] I'm Alistair. Pleased to meet you, miss-?
no subject
she has no idea what a handshake is, so she just looks at his hand and then back at his face.] What are you doing?
no subject
Wait, your name is Peridot? Not- [Wait, no, he's breaking the fresh start rules there.
Dropping his hand back to his side Alistair rolls his eyes.] It's how people introduce themselves. You- You know, never mind.
[He's not going to try and explain handshakes. And he'll even be good and not try and convince her that it's customary as far as most humans are concerned to greet others with an absurd little dance or something. Look at how well behaved he's being!
Don't expect it to last.] Have you ever seen one of these movies before? They're amazing!
no subject
she really does not expect it to last.] I'm still learning about Earth culture. It's... a work in progress. There's just too much to take in all at once.
[Especially not without her screens to give her things in easily understood simple facts that the average human seems incapable of limiting themselves to. doing it on her own is time-consuming.]
no subject
I know what you mean! Everything here is so different to my home. It's hard to get used to it all.
[Differences between their various places of origin make for good common ground at least and something safe to talk about.]
no subject
But you're.... [she squints up at him.] ..human. Surely the variations on different Earths can't be that disorienting. Everything here caters almost exclusively to a human mindset.
no subject
Seriously? [Now who needs to check their... something. NOT ALL HUMANS ARE THE SAME P-DOT!] This place is nothing like my home. Except for all the magic and even that's different. We don't have half the things here back in Ferelden.
[Like indoor plumbing. Or electricity.]
no subject
in all of her egocentricity and self-absorbed focus on her own personal plight, she never realized OTHERS MIGHT ALSO BE SUFFERING. this is entirely new information.]
...Oh. [ahem. awkward.] Well, I guess that makes it more inconvenient for you. Aside from the... weirder Wonderland-specific things, it's not that far off from the Earth I just left. [so she's still confused, but it's the same amount of confused as she was before.]
no subject
It's not so bad. Being able to have hot water whenever I want it is almost worth the kidnapping. And I really like the magic boxes. It would be handy back home to be able to talk to people who aren't there.
[Without relying on letters that can take weeks or longer to arrive. But despite her comment about Wonderland not being that different from the place she just came from, with the way she talks about humans and everything it seems like that's not her home so-]
So what's your home-home like?
[And look, look! He's still behaving himself! This is interesting and she hasn't called him dumb again so maybe she's alright after all.]
no subject
that question is a powderkeg of various feelings, however, and she glances to the side with a haughty expression that seems to be covering up a great deal of sadness. she's a terrible liar.] It's... organized. Everything fits together neatly and everyone knows what they're meant to do. Every gem is made for a specific purpose to further the Gempire and serve our Diamonds.
It was uncomplicated.
no subject
Ah- [Her description reminds him of what he's heard of the qunari. Everyone having a role to fulfill, one that is assigned to them. It doesn't seem as terrible as the Chantry had led him to believe growing up but there is always the question of what happens if someone dislikes their assigned role. He does know better than to get into that sort of debate here and now though.] It sounds really different. From here. And from what most people- humans, are like.... It must be hard for you.
no subject
[but she can't help but feel homesick, even a little, even if there wasn't nothing there she ought to really miss.] And besides, even if I weren't in Wonderland, I could never go back.
no subject
You were exiled from your home? I'm sorry. I can't imagine what that would be like. [Alistair winces. That sounds so insincere but he doesn't know what else he can say. Her grouchy attitude makes more sense now - though he's definitely not saying that. He's not that tactless.] ...Have you been away from it long?
no subject
[she rocks back on her heels, trying to sound nonchalant now. she slipped before, and now she's trying to make up for it. she's fine. everything is fine. she doesn't need sympathy.] I don't have an accurate log of exactly how long, but I'd say it's been well over a hundred Earth rotations.
no subject
Lucky for me they're less strict in the Chantry. Making fun of my superiors just got me laps and chores. [He might have occasionally scrubbed the floors until his hands ached or run around in his armour until he was ready to pass out but he'd never needed to flee the country.
That sounds like he's making fun of her though and he's not trying to for once. Even if he has to ask-] Was it really that big a deal? The name-calling. How could anyone get that upset by it?
['Clod' isn't even much of an insult. He's been called worse by old revered mothers.]
no subject
She wrings her hands. To be fair, calling someone a clod is much more insulting to gems than it is to humans, but that's hard to explain and anyway this isn't about gem vulgarity.]
It wasn't the insult... It was the intent behind it. I disobeyed her directive. I failed my mission. The insult was just the final crack in my gem.
no subject
[Or the mission she'd failed had been her second chance. In which case, while he still feels bad for her... It seems a bit much she's insulting his intelligence having failed missions more than once.]
