HOUSE 48 MOVIE NIGHT!

With Litchi still out of sorts, what better way to pass the time than by staying up late and watching countless mind-numbing chick flicks with wafer-thin plots? It's fun for the whole family. Well, not so much the whole family, but it's fun for Litchi and Tsubaki, what with them being hopeless romantics and all. As for the others? A fate arguably worse than death awaits them.

It's sure to be just grand.]

[He nods to Litchi. ...But romance movies? Really? Uh.]

I appreciate the offer, but I think I might pass.

[catus_carnival]

Tao doesn't know what's going on neow...but okay!

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[...Insipid and fomulaic... romance? WHAT. There is clearly something very wrong with you, Rachel. And Tsubaki is too distraught to make something of the fact that you are nevertheless staying put.]

It's okay, Tao. We'll explain the intricacies of the plot to you as it progresses. [Because these movies are so deep and the plots so intricate. :|]

[redstringed]

Intricacies? Ha! *She all but giggles. It's very unsettling.* Perhaps even the Kaka kitten could understand without your aid.

[not_meatbuns]

[Soft sigh. Every party has a pooper, apparently. She'll just gently tease Thirteen while Rachel tsuns over there.]

Are you sure, David? You're really missing out~

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[Heh. Litchi teasing him? She must be feeling better. The two things do make him chuckle lightly.]

I suppose that's your way of telling me you'd be happier if I did.

[catus_carnival]

That word is too big, meow. Tao can't say it.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean]

[redstringed]

I remain thoroughly unsurprised.

Are we still yet waiting on something?

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi laughs softly, smiling back at Dave.] You caught me. It wouldn't be the same without you. Not to mention there's plenty of room for one more on this couch~

[And in an attempt to defuse the situation before Tsubaki can explode or something, Litchi remotes the movie on.]

I apologize for the delay, Miss Rachel. [Not a trace of sarcasm there. No sir.]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[...Damn, he's weak. He can't say no to that smile.]

All right, all right. I'll stay.

[And he'll take a seat on the couch. He's probably going to regret this, but he can suck it up for Litchi's sake. What's a couple of hours?]

[catus_carnival]

[u mad? but now lying on the ground all catlike. And scratching herself with her hind leg, but that's another story.]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[Tsubaki scooches over on the couch to make more room for David because, uh, things may still be a little awkward there.]

By the way, this is the three and a half hour version with a previously unreleased proposal scene... which I can't believe they cut out in the first place.

[redstringed]

Three and a half hours? How can a film-maker possibly fill three and a half hours with a simple tale of romance?

*Getting the feeling she's going to regret this.*

[not_meatbuns]

[With Tao getting comfortable on the floor and Thirteen and Tsubaki on the couch with her... it's almost like they really are a family. Litchi can't help the warm smile that twitches onto her face as she huddles comfortably into her blanket and shifts to make sure David has enough room.

Movie completely aside, Litchi hasn't felt so contented in a long time.]

It'll be fun. I promise.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[Well, now he's sitting between Litchi and Tsubaki, turning his eyes on the screen now.]

That's quite a long movie...

[...He's definitely going to regret it now, he can already tell. So Rachel, you are not alone, and she might be able to see a similiar, but subtle sentiment on his face if she cares to look.]

[catus_carnival]

That's too long, meow! Tao's gonna take a nap in the middle of it.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

It's not a simple tale. Despite what some works of fiction would have us believe, romance is really very complicated. [According to some other works of fiction. Which are, clearly, authoritative sources.]

And it may be a little slow moving in the beginning, but once things pick up, the time just flies by.

[redstringed]

Complicated? By whose laughable standards? I shall judge that for myself.

Start this film, then, if you remain so certain that it will hold up under scrutiny.

[not_meatbuns]

I'm sure you'll like it if you just give it a chance.

[Here, she'll even push play to prove it. And then get herself all nice and comfy on this couch, since it is going to be a few hours.]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[Thirteen's just going to stay out of the disagreement and stay quiet and watch. Granted, he's not paying as much attention as he could be, instead, turning his mind toward flying when he gets bored with what's happening on screen, running dogfights he participated in through his head.]

[catus_carnival]

[Thirteen has the right idea. Tao's not paying much attention either, as one could tell by her blank look on the face, which eventually turns into just dozing off.]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[What's wrong with you people?! This is gripping. Charles is lost and dying somewhere in the arctic tundra without having told Gloria how he really feels about her and the only compass that can lead her to him is her HEART.]

If it hadn't been for that freak snow storm...

[redstringed]

You know, you would have think he'd been better equipped, knowing where he was traveling. Such a fool.

[not_meatbuns]

[Teary-eyed and clinging to David's arm, Litchi shoots an exasperated look in Rachel's direction.]

That's not the point...! It's... It's just so sad...
