Prescribed Recreation part 3: Chillax'n with a Vengeance

[fleurdesel]

Who: House 44, House 46, House 3, Saori, Steve Rogers, and whoever wanders in
What: Movie night on the beach
When: September 9th, in the evening
Where: The Beach
Summary: After an unfortunate tussle with a Chaos God, work on a farm, a swarm of refugees and stress piled upon stress, sometimes all anyone wants is to sit back and watch classic movies.
Rating: PG for possible adult language
Something that everyone could agree on was this: the past three weeks had been several shades of stressful. What they needed, what they all needed was something mindless and relaxing shared in the company of those they care for in a neutral environment. The beach works well enough, and it's not that far a trip for anyone involved.

Comments

Well, he is the most charming of giant lizards.

[merelychewed]

From the sky beyond? [He tilts his head curiously.] Well, which sky would that be? Isn't it all the same one?

[Ah, but flattery does get one everywhere with a dragon. He leans away and buffs his claws against his chest scales a bit, not unlike a human might, and that's as close to preening as he'll get.]

Aha, well, it wouldn't do to not be polite in such good company, after all.

[windandrain]

Space. Other planets. The stars, I mean. The sky beyond the sky.

[Saori laughs lightly, watching him with interest.]

I'm glad you think so, my new friend.

[merelychewed]

Planets? [Not a word he's familiar with, which shows from the confused squint he gives her.] The stars, though... I'm not sure I understand. How would a man be among the stars in the first place?

[Unless mankind had their own heaven among them. A strange idea, then, that he would have come back at all!]

[windandrain]

Other worlds, celestial bodies. Saturn, Mars, Venus.

[She shrugs]

Sorcery, or with ships built to fly.

[merelychewed]

A ship.

[Well, this is a strange place with people from more strange places, so why not?]

A ship to other places among the stars. Alright. It is only a story, so I should not question so much, I suppose.

[windandrain]

No, not really. It's meant to be fun, Draco.

Though...given how this place works, there's a chance Superman could appear here.

[merelychewed]

Really? A character from a story, here? That can't be right.

[Not something he'd want to believe, considering some weird kid has already acted familiar with his history.]

[windandrain]

Well, I've seen some people I recognize, from books and things. And people who know the same stories I do. Its possible, maybe?

[merelychewed]

How would it work, though? Taking people from stories. This is a stranger world than I'd thought if it has that power.

[windandrain]

Honestly? I have no idea. I've never tried to work it out, I just think of it as magic of some sort.

[merelychewed]

[He snorts.]

Pfah, magic. I think that is how I must explain nearly everything here...

[windandrain]

Well, I am not...exactly...unmagical myself. Its easy to accept, for me.

[merelychewed]

Yes, well, you're a goddess. That's different. I know what a goddess is! The rest of this, though!

[He's old and cranky and these new fangled objects that may or may not be magic won't get off his lawn.]

It makes me glad there's a mountain range to retreat to when all else is said and done around Luceti.

[windandrain]

I agree with you there. I vastly prefer the forest, and this beach, to the village itself. I suppose I should make more of an effort to visit the mountains though. I only go there occasionally, but the view is lovely.
