It's difficult to tell where'n when everyone's from.
[ more like a wound watch. he sighs, nodding slowly in agreement. ]
Yeah, same. It's wild how totally different everyone's homes are. [ glances to his ears. more beastfolk... ] Movies are like... on a screen, moving images recorded to tell stories.
Mm... I didn't hate that part, honestly. [ there's a little more warmth in his feelings at that, and some pride. ] Kinda nice seein' how many people decided on their own to show up. Even if it wasn't the peaceful experience any of us might've been expecting.
...But nah, don't worry about it. Unless you're just lookin' for a distraction.
Eh, I got a knife, so between us we can probably make it work. Doesn't seem like there's too much immediate danger here compared to other places anyway, even if it does feel suspicious.
[ it's hard to tell with his folded ears, but they seem to perk up a little at that. ]
Yeah? You got 'em here? I've been readin' the books, but no way I'm gonna get through all of 'em before this is over. If the movies go by faster maybe we could watch those some night to get the story.

but the offer does get a little smile. ]
Yeah, that'd be great if you don't mind. Thanks. Probably just set somethin' up at the tavern for whoever wants to watch again, see if we can get through 'em before we leave.
[ ... ]
Er, not that I missed the hint, just sort of want to share this with a bigger group if I have the chance.
[ there was a lot going on at trial (i, aaya, also missed this). that sound is pretty telling, though, but he kind of nods awkwardly instead of prying. ]
No problem. It's a good half-day or so commitment, but a really great sort of... spectacle film series? Good for a group. [ smiles a little. ] Yeah, that was just me tryin' to lead into sayin' thanks. For looking after him, and-- everything.

no subject
also yeah it is particularly hard to tell with him and basilio because they both look like they just stepped out of the '60s ]
Sorry to disappoint. At this point I'm just sort of assuming no one knows shite about anything I'm talkin' about.
no subject
Yeah, same. It's wild how totally different everyone's homes are. [ glances to his ears. more beastfolk... ] Movies are like... on a screen, moving images recorded to tell stories.

Mr. Fidelio...?
no subject
—Sorry, what?
no subject
no subject
[ the vibes are way more nervous than tired, but. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
Anythin' I can help with?
no subject
Mm... I didn't hate that part, honestly. [ there's a little more warmth in his feelings at that, and some pride. ] Kinda nice seein' how many people decided on their own to show up. Even if it wasn't the peaceful experience any of us might've been expecting.
...But nah, don't worry about it. Unless you're just lookin' for a distraction.
no subject
oh. that's a relief, and nice to hear. he's no fan of crowded places himself, but if fidelio didn't mind it, that's a good thing. ]
I mean, it's Friday. I'll take a distraction for sure.
w7, monday
...Is this the one place that actually got nicer?
no subject
This is really suspicious.
no subject
no subject
[ hmm. ]
Somehow it feels... worse, like this? Ominous.

Aight. Maybe we should check out the cafe and the fortune teller? Mr. Anders mentioned the cats being gone.
no subject
[ fond friendship vibes about that loser ]
Hadn't really considered the fortune teller. You thinkin' it might've caught somethin' on camera?
no subject
[ he's curious. and pleased! ]
Exactly, yeah. Plus it had this kind of eerie vibe that doesn't match with how this all looks now.
no subject
[ starting to head over that way, then! ]
...Random question, but been meanin' to ask — is there a movie version of The Lord of the Rings?
no subject
oh. that's an unexpected question, but kind of a nice one to be asked?? ]
Yeah, there is. Really good movies - I haven't read the books, though.
no subject
Yeah? You got 'em here? I've been readin' the books, but no way I'm gonna get through all of 'em before this is over. If the movies go by faster maybe we could watch those some night to get the story.

no subject
[ that's an... interesting image. unexpected. chrono blinks, confused. ]
...when did...?
no subject
—Oh. That trip we all got dragged off on a few weeks ago, we were all kids together in it. Anders and I liked those books, apparently.
no subject
[ a lot nicer than some of the other trips he's heard about... ]
I'm happy to grab the movies and the projector for you when we're back. [ ... ] Maybe you and Taair can watch them together? He'd like 'em.
no subject

no subject
Don't got to thank me for that, I like spendin' time with him. He's proper fond of you as a roommate too, you know.
no subject
[ he's gone a little pink. not that there was really a doubt of his decent roommate status, but it's different hearing it from someone else as well. ]
You guys are real cute.
no subject
clears his throat. ]
All right, you know what, let's both try not to go overboard with the warm fuzzy stuff here.
no subject
Sorry, sorry. The vibes of this place are gettin' to me, I guess.
