If, by chance, you happen to want to rent a movie on a Tuesday night and one of the chain stores doesn't carry it, you can venture on over to Oubliette Video. They mostly stock vhs tapes, some dvds. Movies like Barbarella, Howard the Duck or Love Story are their specialty. Even cartoons that no one's bothered to put on dvd yet

Livvie is part of a study group. Only everyone's so tired of studying that they've scattered across the neighborhood in pairs, 2 to get a movie, 2 to get some pizza, 2 to set up things back at the house they're all using as a crash pad/study area.

So Livvie and another girl around her age wander into Oubilette Video around 8:45. And while her friend makes a bee line for The Breakfast Club and similar titles, Livvie's attention is caught by the television.

Her head goes tiiilt a bit to the left. For a minute or three.

"The little girl is an infiltrator," Allison offers, helpfully. "She's not really a little girl. She's a troll, and she threw her brother into a wall."

Gee. That sounds familiar. Um. "Welcome to Oubilette Video, let me know if I can help you."

Livvie turns and smiles at Allison. "Really? She looks like she could be a troll." Livvie has a healthy distrust for most blond actresses in 80s movies.

More watching. Livvie's friend waves a box at her and Livvie shrugs. "If we can laugh at it I'm good. Any recommendations for 6 finals-fried girls who want something to laugh at?"

She considers this for a moment, and nods. "Yes. Johnny Mnemonic. Rock ‘n Roll Nightmare. Terminal Island. Weird Science." Well. Four suggestions. She's cutting down

Cal enters the video shop, nodding at two teenagers leaving. Walking inside, he frowns, looking around. He makes a note of the video playing, it's just some god awful 80s flick, then walks up to the girl at the counter.

"Do you have any James Bond movies? Preferably the completely awful ones with Roger Moore." It's bad movie night at the Lightman household, apparently. "Or..." he double checks a list, "The Princess Bride?"

She looks at him and tilts her head, slightly to the right and then the left. "Yes, we have those movies. All of those movies, James Bond with Roger Moore and The Princess Bride. Would you like me to show you?"

Not...technically her job to get them for you, but she will. She's very efficient. If slightly offputting.

((come to aaaaaim))

Cal shrugs. "You can show them to me if you want. I think I can find them myself though." And he's off to the movie aisles. He looks around, scanning the shelves. Well, there's The Princess Bride. That's one mystery solved. However, Cal seems to be having a bit more trouble finding the James Bond ones.

He caves. "Where are the James Bond ones?" he asks, looking over at Allison.

((I am on aaaaaaaim now.))

She smiles a smile which doesn't quite meet her eyes, and tilts her head. "They're in the mystery aisle, even though they should be in the action aisle. Fred is inefficient, and he puts things where they shouldn't go. They're also under J for James Bond instead of by title." Allison, the poor guy didn't ask for the history of the store.

She thinks of something, and speaks up. "If you rent 6 videos, you get them for a week and only six dollars." People like sales, she has read about this in the magazines.

((I pm'd you XD))
