A Day in Actual Reality

[mitanarchist]

It is a relatively….and I mean relatively quiet day in Actual Reality. Sometimes Collins just likes sitting at a booth in his time off and people watching. So many fans come through here that know about Mark’s film that sometimes he just likes seeing their reactions. He sits at the booth in front of the wall with newspaper as its wallpaper. On top

And today, Meredith is exploring a bit. The people-watching mainly holds its appeal when the others are there, and they're all busy today.
Besides, with that much reading material on the walls, how can she not?
She's a bit too caught up in trying to make out the articles to notice whether she's in anyone's way, just now.

Collins notices her and smiles, he says, "So do you know what all of this means?" He asks politely, running a hand across all of the articles. His hand stops on one that he salvaged about the Alphabet City riots...the night of Maureen's protest.

And that startles her. "Oh! Sorry, I didn't realize anyone was..." She trails off, grinning, perhaps a bit nervously. "Some of it, yeah. I think some of the stuff's a little over my head, but then, I've never been to New York or anything."
Trying to ignore the corner of her brain that's stuck on 'holy CRAP famous person!', she takes a closer look at the article he's pointing at. "...Wait, that was in the movie, wasn't it?"

Collins nods, "It wasn't just in the movie, hon. The movie was real life." He gestures to the article. "This one for example, my good friend Maureen's protest, and yes she really did ask people to moo with her and things did get violent." He gestures to the seat in front of him, "The name's Collins...Tom Collins, but I'm assuming you already knew that."
