Mystery Sign Theater 3000, Wednesday, All Day

[she_neversleeps]

On Monday, Samara Morgan had walked out of a well into the ocean, and out of the ocean into a haunted house. She'd expected, from the way the ghosts with STAFF badges talked, to find herself back in her well on Tuesday night, with the cover firmly shut just the way that woman who was not your dirty-word mommy had left it.

Not so much. So much not

Lobby

The ticket booth and the concession stand? Both empty. At least they'd look that way if you were alive. The popcorn buckets seemed to keep getting replaced somehow, though, when everyone's back was turned, and though mildly damp, the stuff was still pretty tasty.

The dead? They might spot those buckets getting filled by a solemn, silent little girl in a bedraggled dress with a stolen usherette cap on her head.

Free movie and popcorn? Pinkie Pie was so there!

She tried "Halloooooo!"ing a couple times to find whomever was working here -- someone had to be working here, right? -- then gave a little pony shrug at the lack of answer and picked up one of the popcorn buckets, dumping the entire contents into her mouth at once, expanding her cheeks like a deranged chipmunk. She picked up another bucket, balanced it precariously on her hindquarters, and -- with her mouth full -- called out "Thanks, whoever!" before heading for the theater doors for the double feature.

Isabelle needed a distraction after all the drama she'd had in her personal life in the last little while. So free admission and free popcorn with movies? It sounded perfect!

Annnd then she actually made it inside. And things... just didn't feel right to her. She couldn't pinpoint what it was, but it made her turn on her heels and walk back out.

She didn't need a distraction that badly, anyway.

She'd already been noticed, though. Someone had taken an interest, and someone watched her walk away. Such a strong, steady walk.

Hmm.

Now Showing

Now showing: some weird, grainy art films, sometimes silently, sometimes with the looping sound of a child singing in the background.

Gwen really just wanted to get out of the dorms for a while, and the theater in a small town was always a safe bet, right? So she took a seat to watch, and... was this Swedish, or something? Did it show at Sundance, maybe?

Yeah, once she'd figured that this was not what she came here to see, Gwen'd just see herself out.

Constance sat down behind Gwen. She had been very pleased when the convention ended, but she hadn't returned to Jericho, CA. Time to see what else she could do.

Lowering the temperature to much chillier temps, for a start.

Ugh, and was the air conditioning broken? Gwen pulled on her jacket.

If you could see that little girl in the usherette cap, you might catch her here; it was as good a place as any to hide when the minds of the living got too loud for her.

OR WHEN A HORSE CAME IN TO WATCH HER MOVIE WHAT THE RARRR.

Samara kind of had a thing about horses.
