Mystery Sign Theatre, Saturday Evening

[chose_humanity]

It was probably a good idea if no one asked Mitchell how he'd even gotten this idea in the first place. The point was that after several weeks stuck in Bristol, watching new fledgeling vampires wake up for the first time, he needed a distraction, and this seemed like a really good idea. Considering the timing, and all that

Arrive! Purchase food stuffs! Throw food stuffs at each other! Talk! Whatever it is you do.

Jono really hadn't opted to bring anybody along, but he'd managed to catch wind somewhere during his mope that the local Cinema was going to be putting on the good stuff, and he'd managed to haul his pathetic arse out of bed in order to both get together all of the supplies that one needed for such a show, and also to come here in the first place.

Okay, maybe he looked like he was feeling a little bit of antici-

-pation. Even if he wasn't in costume. He really wasn't a corset kind of guy.

"Hey," Rinoa said, popping into the seat next to Jono's for some much-needed explanations. "Why is this in my bag?"

She held up the bra and slip for Jono to investigate.

"Squall's has some kind of shiny underwear," she said. "I'd think they were costumes, but most of it's missing."

//... You both got costumes? Really?// See Jono, see Jono look impressed. //It's practically tradition to dress up to this show, luv. Petey Sci-Fi is a cult classic, actually.//

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

"How come you're not wearing a costume?" Rinoa asked. "And ..."

She lowered her voice. "Is this really all there is to mine?"

She wasn't all that modest, surprisingly enough, but she didn't want to saunter into the theater wearing half of Queen So-and-So's Dress From Act 3 and have everyone think she was a crazy person.

Jono raised an eyebrow, reminded himself that Rinoa wasn't from Earth, per se, and then shrugged and nodded a little.

//I'm not exactly th'golden underwear type,// he pointed out. //But yes, that is all there is to yers. One of th'main characters spends most of th'show in that, more or less.//

Lucky Rinoa!

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

"Squall got that one," Rinoa shared happily. "The gold underwear? And a wig."

Please help her convince Squall to wear it? Pleeeeeeeease?

"Okay, then I'll put it on," she decided. "Isn't there another character you could be? There have to be other people, besides the half-naked two and the maid."

It was kind of a slutty maid costume, at that. Rinoa approved.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[furnaceface]

... Don't tempt Jono, Rinoa. He'd made a mad dash into town here and now if it meant being in costume.

//Th'butler, I suppose. Not as exciting as some of the other characters, really, but at least his chest's covered.//

Which probably said a great deal about the fine entertainment that they were about to take in, didn't it?

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

Temptation was one of her specialties. Seriously.

"Is this movie about some kind of orgy?" she asked. Look, she didn't know. But if it was a rarity for the butler to be clothed, and considering what everyone else was (or wasn't) wearing ... it didn't seem like such a bad guess.

Anyway.

She straightened up with a decided nod. "Okay," she said. "You go get a butler costume, and I'll make Squall wear the shiny underwear."

Arm-twisting? Another specialty.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[furnaceface]

There was a long, thoughtful pause, then.

//But then, even he doesn't button up his shirt...//

Oh, Jono. Stop that.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

"So?" Rinoa had her hands on her hips, now. "So you play the butler who has a bit of a cold so he's wearing a big, fluffy scarf. Squall's going to be wearing underwear, and you don't see him complaining, do you?"

Squall was unaware that he was going to be wearing underwear. That was probably partly responsible for it.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[furnaceface]

//... I suppose he isn't,// Jono agreed, furrowing his eyebrows a little. //I imagine I could dress up as th'biker boyfriend, too...//

Freddie, who didn't like his teddy.

//Far easier. I already have t'leather, and a jacket that I can mangle by removing th'sleeves... Blue jeans. Paint on a lobotomy scar...//

He squinted a little.

//How long before th'show?//

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

A lobotomy scar? So ... the movie was an orgy about the mentally disabled?

Rinoa was not going to ask. Maybe it was better in context.

"About half an hour," she said, figuring it was best to just answer his question. "Squall put up much less of a fight than I expected him to."

When you were dealing with Squall, you had to budget in those kind of things, yes.

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[furnaceface]

And Jono would be lying if he said he wasn't amused by that fact, yes.

//I think I can manage that in half an hour. Less, if I just check th'Holiday Grove to see if they have costumes there...//

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[angelo_wings]

"I need to stop by there, later," Rinoa said. "I still need a Halloween costume."

Her rambling was costing him time, so instead she shoo'd him with her hands.

"Go," she said. "I wanna see it, when you get back."

Re: Lobby/Concessions

[furnaceface]

Jonothon shrugged, and then made his way through the door, making certain that they knew that he'd be back so that he wouldn't have to pay twice, in order to get himself a costume.

Half an hour, after all, was plenty of time on an island as small as this one.
