Fifty-Fourth Theory [Video]

((Forward-dated to tomorrow morning.))

[Don sends Leo off to battle today. He's not worried, only slightly disappointed that he doesn't get to go too.]

[When it becomes clear that the weather is settling in for a good storm, Don begins setting up a day's worth of entertainment.]

[The journal feed comes on with a shaky image of a television screen. After a few moments the picture stabilizes, and Don leans over to address his audience upside-down.]

Hi everyone. I'm going to be watching some movies while we wait out this weather. You're welcome to join me.

[Anyone in Luceti, with or without power, so long as they have a journal handy, may see the following films, with short breaks in between:

10:00 AM: "Star Wars: A New Hope"
12:30 PM: "Jurassic Park"
3:00 PM: "The Last Samurai"

After a somewhat longer break for dinner, the movies will resume.

7:00 PM: "Beauty and the Beast" (Before starting this film, Don will filter the video feed against [livejournal.com profile] tailasoldastime. He'll unfilter when the movie ends.)
9:00 PM: "The Elephant Man"

... Don has never seen this last one all the way through. Maybe tonight he can finally do it.]

[While watching the movies, Don will work on restoring the computer files he deleted during last month's experiment.]

((Talking during the movies is very much encouraged; please threadjack/do log-type things!))

... It... was certainly exhausting, being around all those people... [With nobody else to cling to, unlike the Christmas ball.

Robert smiles fondly a moment later probably for reasons that haven't happened yet.]
But... it was nice... I did enjoy it, and... and I hope Helios did too.

... Have... have you been alright? I... I did not want to leave you too long...

[... That reminds him of something Mike said long ago. Movie nights with the Hamatos.

Or Hamato. Robert doesn't mind right now.]


... Of course...

[He shifts onto the couch near Don - not so close that his body heat is overwhelming, but close enough so that maybe it helps warm the blankets.]

Which is this, if... I may ask?

"Beauty and the Beast"... [Robert repeats the title, thoughtfully.] ... How fascinating. And you say it is a... love story?

[He knows someone named Beast. Perhaps this will be relevant...]

... That is a little unusual for you...

[Robert studies the screen with curiosity, listening to the whole tale with some measure of scrutiny. Cursing someone for a social faux pas? That seems a little harsh.

... But at the same time, he's not having the easiest time seeing why the curse is a humongously bad thing. It didn't really change much, did it?]


... What an odd reaction, though... it was cruel...

[Most likely not, nope.]

Appearances...? Do you mean... physical appearance?

... That is an important lesson... [At the least, it has many important consequences. Robert nods a little at it.

... Of course, once the intro gets to actually showing the Beast, however briefly...]


...

That... looks very much like the Beast here in Luceti...
semper_cogitans: (O:)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2011-12-16 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh, it is?

[For a moment, he wants to say that's impossible. But... but the turtle sitting next to him... well, Ingrid said in one world, he was fictional as well.

Huh.]


... How remarkable.

[Softly:] But... he seems like a nice person to me.

[... In a way, Belle does look like the sort of person one would have feelings for. Soft, pretty, slim... Not that Robert is much of a judge.

But someone Don has feelings for... or had feelings for - must be a wonderful person.

Robert just smiles, and threads his fingers in the blanket near Don.]


... She must surely... be a beautiful person, then.

[Hardly stopping. Robert would hold Don's hand if he wanted - he just doesn't want to impose on him now, especially when too much body heat might be a bad thing.

Still... he doesn't move his hand.]


I will be delighted to see...

[... All this singing and dancing is reminding him of himself as a princess...]

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2011-12-18 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, this is nice. Robert smiles and shuffles to press into Don's side, comfortingly revelling in the heft of his side against him.]

Oh...? Is this a scene you enjoy, then?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

... Quite a number of people... Giles, Frederic, and Ginia were, of course, to be expected, but Grune and Link also made appearances.

[... There might have been others too. But they haven't posted yet.]

... At least I... was familiar with the majority of them this time...
semper_cogitans: (-w-)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2011-12-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I... I did. [Robert smiles shyly at that. Something might tell Don that he definitely enjoyed something about the outing.]
