Movie Night [for Jas/Fay/Kuro/Mokona/household]

[vicioussweetie]

Ali looked around the basement, going over her mental checklist for the party. The movies she's chosen are out and ready, she had her pink bunny slippers on, and the food was all set out. Four kinds of pizza wait in plentiful quantity: grilled chicken, onions, pepper and mozzarella with barbecue sauce; a thin crust with mushroom, tomato, onion,

*Well, he may not have bunny slippers on, but he's here. The hook raps once at the Nexus door*

[vicioussweetie]

She doesn't keep him waiting long. Soon the door is opened, and he is hugged. "Hello Jas."

[goodform]

*He steps straight into the hug, seemingly relaxed today, which is probably for the best considering he's going to be spending time in Company*

Hello, my Ali.

[vicioussweetie]

She purrs contentedly, nuzzling his cheek. "How are you?"

[goodform]

*He's spent some of today playing with inflatable boats, which although it has been frustrating at times has kept his mind occupied and, for want of a better word, happy*

Very well. I am glad to inform you that your gift has proved seaworthy.

[vicioussweetie]

"Lovely. I'm glad they're working."

[goodform]

*He takes a look at the party set-up, sniffing at the smell of pizza (which smells a lot better than the pizza he had in Houston when visiting Katchoo)*

I see as usual you have outdone yourself. How many do you expect to be joining us?

*It's just possible she could feed about twenty with all this...*

[vicioussweetie]

"Fay, his boyfriend, and their...companion. But someone else might wander in, you never know really. Have you ever had pizza before?"

[goodform]

Once. When Katchoo was drawing me for the first time.

*She also gave him Mountain Dew, which as far as the captain is concerned is an abomination unto man*

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh." She's a little disappointed she's not introducing him to something new. "Well, then I really hope you liked it."

[goodform]

I'm sure I will like this.

*It's not quite an answer to her half-question, but it's genuine enough. He directs a further glance down at the slippers, and blinks*

[vicioussweetie]

It's a very good answer to her half-question.

When she sees him looking at her slippers, she wiggles her toes so the ears flop around cutely. "Like them?"

[goodform]

*There are really no words to describe his attitude towards those slippers, so he keeps quiet and directs his attention toward the laden tables again*

And what do you plan for our entertainment?

[vicioussweetie]

She frowns a little, and her slippers feel horribly unloved.

"I have some movies picked out. Some of my favorites. Well, some of my favorites when all the romances and fairy tales are removed from the list."

[goodform]

*Hook is many things, but not an appreciator of novelty footwear...ah well. Nobody is perfect!*

I trust you have not denied yourself your favourite on account of my tastes.

[vicioussweetie]

His next lesson: how to say something is nice when he doesn't really care.

"Somehow I don't think you or Kuro would appreciate La Belle et La Bete, and I don't know if any of the rest of you speak French anyway. I can always watch it another time."
