I Dreamed I Saw Eleven Stars

Nagi is always cranky after he gets out of class at Looney High, but he smooths out to mildly irritated as he takes a couple side trips on his way back to the Gauche. He's nearly committed enough petty theft to be able to afford his computer. It makes him more willing to buy the little things he's been needing. When he gets back to the Gauche he

Even though he's not feeling particularly sociable, here's Adrian, appearing in the lounge with his hands tucked into the pockets of the black hoodie he's been wearing since his poor leather jacket got destroyed. He leans into the room without actually entering, because as long as he's not inside it's clear he's not planning on staying.

But it would be rude to just ignore the note. "Hello?"

Sakura is happily sprawled on the couch with her feet up on a table. She's got popcorn-in-a-bag, and she's got Johnny Depp on screen saying some lines from a terrible play. "Oh hey! The movie's only just starting, so you haven't missed much. Popcorn's still warm, too."

Sakura just happens to be sitting so there's lots of room on the couch to her right. This might be coincidince or it might be Sakura thinking that fake butter shouldn't mix with bandages or open wounds, so the popcorn should be on Adrian's left. Either way, it works.

"Ah..." Movies. He's not really a fan of movies in general. Just some old-fashioned hangover From His Youth, really, and the fact that while theaters are great to hide in, they are not great in any other respect. They are sticky and crowded and dark, and it's easy for someone to slip up behind you while your attention is on the screen and stick a knife between your ribs.

He should know. He's done it before. "What is this?"

[feelmymusic]

Fortunately, the lounge is well lit and Sakura's the only one in it at the moment. Movies are great for mentally hiding from problems though!

"It's Ed Wood. It's a great movie about a man who made terrible films and crossdressed. I figured on watching one of his bad movies next since having the context of the filming makes it even funnier."

[crimeatthetime]

He's still next to the door. Oddly, that does not sound particularly appealing. "...They made a movie about that."

He's not really up on film culture at all, but that doesn't sound like the sort of thing people normally watch on purpose.

[feelmymusic]

"Mmhmm. It's supposed to be pretty well based on the real guy. He makes a fascinating character study for the line between madness and genius. Or maybe tacky and genius." Because really, what was he thinking??

Sakura nibbles on some popcorn. "Or are biographies not your thing?"

[crimeatthetime]

Adrian shrugs, crossing his arms and tucking his injured hand inside his jacket. "Movies aren't really my thing."

He moves a few steps closer, at least, still trying not to insinuate himself in her evening's activities without being rude. "Documentaries, sometimes. Planet Earth. That sort of thing."

[feelmymusic]

"Good documentaries are awesome. It really depends on the narrorator. The ones who try to make every little thing sound profound just get irritating." She drops her voice a little bit and does her best to use that tension building tone that appears all too often in documentaries. "And now.... the squirrel will look for nuts."

"I love IMAX stuff though. It just looks like you can fall into it!"

[crimeatthetime]

"Mm." All right, he needs to do something before he feel any more awkward. "I came to say thank you for the apology. There was no need."

He shifts away, toward the door. "I should..." He gestures in the direction he's heading. "Enjoy your movies."

[feelmymusic]

"Oh, okay. Guess I did pick some pretty weird stuff this time. Have a good evening then."

Sakura really needs to meet more people around the building. She's used to having a large group of friends so there's always someone who wants to do whatever she's doing.
