Who: OPEN to all!
What: Movies, movies, movies! And games and food too.
When: All day Saturday, June 7th (starts 11ish)
Where: Rec Center
Summary: Ginia throws a movie marathon at the rec center for entertainment and post-draft distractions.
Rating: PG-13 for some of the movies shown, but let's keep it around here or lower.

On Thursday, flyers were posted around the village with another notification of the movie marathon and the list of movies that will be shown:

The Sword in the Stone
Grease
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Moulin Rouge
The Princess Bride
Jurassic Park
Clue
Rocky Horror Picture Show

Come Saturday, the list can also be found outside the rec center. Inside the center, there are tables set up filled with food: fruit and veggie platters, cookies and cake from the bakery, sandwiches, packages of popcorn (with a microwave nearby), and an assortment of packaged candy. As food begins running low, runners will be sent to the stores to bring back more. There are also drinks - water, sodas, juices, tea, and coffee. Alcohol is bring your own, but Ginia also has a small table set aside with some gin, whisky, vodka, and mixers.

Besides what seating is already in the rec center, additional chairs, large cushions, and even two beanbag chairs have been brought in. For those who want to hang out but not watch movies, there's still pool, board games, and a few deck of cards.

Enjoy, relax, and try not to think about the draft.

[For a day that's suppose to be about relaxing and having fun, Ginia finds herself busy. She's been at the rec center since the morning, getting things set up, making sure everything was working (with all the weird shifts going on, she's a bit leery), checking on food and throwing away any pieces that suddenly rot. Keeping busy is her way of keeping focused and keeping her mind off the draft.

Ginia can be found all day. A few times she'll step out to run out to get more food (or direct someone to serve as runner), but she's around. If she's not watching a movie or keeping an eye on the food and drink tables, she can also be found by the pool table.

And late into the night, don't be surprised if she's dancing along to the Time Warp or mouthing along with the songs. Old habits die hard.]

[He's not really sure about this "movie" stuff, but he's curious, so he's willing to give it a try. He could use a way to get his mind off things. And--there's food. Food is always important. Farlan settles on the sandwiches, as they have meat, and meat is his favorite. Once he has enough of them, he takes a seat. Well, how often does someone get a chance to see how people entertain themselves on other worlds? This shouldn't be too bad.]

[All to happy to help out with the preparations and movie selections, Evan is still rather put off by the sudden changes that keep happening. Ginia had called them shifts, which made sense, but every time one happened he stared blankly at the result for a moment before sighing. C'est la vie!

Evan can be found all day when not being ordered around by Ginia. He'll greet each newcomer with a wide smile and his name before pointing out all the things that were available. Food! Drinks! Movie Seating! Pool! Board games! Cards!

When not avidly watching a movie (and singing quietly along to the music), Evan can be found playing with a deck of cards at a nearby table.]

[Well, given that Saori realizes she needs to socialize at least a little bit and is in theory loaning Ginia some of the movies, it's probably good for her to turn up. She even sits through most of the movies, focused more or less on that than the other activities. Cards are dull, pool is dull, but she might be convinced to play a board game if anyone wants to. Traditional games or more modern children's ones are a preference. After all, she's got a Hungry Hungry Hippos rivalry going with Kushina...

Throughout the day, Saori is prone to vanish for a few moments, drifting outside to get fresh air and stretch, as summer is making her generally restless temperament even more so than usual.

Food wise, she eats sparingly, preferring fruit and other sweets to any of the salty things. She has brought her own bottle of something strong smelling that she keeps on ice till the evening. Once that comes out, she's more or less drinking it like water, but seems more than fine, and happy to share as well. If someone thinks they can handle what she's got, anyway.]

[God knows the Cajun liked a good distraction, and a movie night really did fit the bill. It would help to break up tension from the draft, try and return everything to as normal as Luceti could be.

Most of the night Remy lazing around and enjoying the movies he's interested in, and for those he weren't he splits his time between the pool table and teaching any of those willing to take him on at poker a thing or two.

As Rocky Horror starts playing, he absolutely makes the most of having memorized the songs. Who didn't love the Time Warp?]

Alright! [Kurt is trying his darndest not think about the draft; and he is all over this. He plops himself down, ready to go through all the movies. He even brings a satchel filled with some of his own DVDs in case there's time for more.

He also spends some time generally mingling, trying his best to forget the trauma of the draft as he snacks on all of the sweets. He may even try to make some sneaky passes at the alcohol.]

[A silver-haired boy in a school uniform wanders in at some point.

He has no idea what is going on.]

[This. Is. Awesome.

Janine doesn't let them have movies on the big screen that often, and it isn't like there's anything new coming out. It's just nice here to meet up, have a social event. Like when he'd gone to the cinema with people at home.

He brings a few packs of beer, a bottle of something harder for later, and they really have put together a good list.

He finds a seat, even if he's seen all the movies before. He might even be found singing along with the songs to Rocky Horror. Shame he forgot his makeup.]

[ MASAOMI IS HERE. He proposed one of the movies, he knows a lot of the people scheduled to come, and he likes to socialize. Thus, he's here and here's going to live it up in terms of socializing. His attention is rapt for the musicals (and Jurassic Park), but it does admittedly wane a bit with some of the older movies on display here. So while he does sit and watch and maybe sing along or chat up for a lot of the time...

When his attention wanes, he makes to use the other things in the Rec Center. Like the Air Hockey table if anyone willing to go for a game (oops hope that isn't too loud) or checking out things on his journal. He's got no real reason to not camp here all day, and it's evidenced by the fact that he brought Linda, many apples, and one of the bento lunches Cilan made the other day.

Oh and he will try to flirt with the ladies but what else is new ]

[~~Ssshhh pretend I'm not late.~~ Cilan is here, and he seems...rather invested in all of the movies being shown today. He doesn't really seem that interested in doing anything else other than watching the movies, he's perfectly content to sit there and watch every single one of them that's being shown today. It might take some serious convincing to get him to actually do something else instead, because otherwise he seems permanently glued to his chair when the movies are playing, only getting up and wandering away for a second or two after a movie ends and before the next one begins. At some point, one of his Pokemon might make an appearance to watch something as well, even Stunfisk who takes to sitting in Cilan's lap and just stares at the screen with a blank expression on it's face.

But hey, he'll talk with people if they want to chat...provided it's not during the best part of the movie, and if you get him talking about the movie or movies in general? Then buddy, you better be in for a long chat about why movies are so awesome because Cilan happens to be secretly really passionate about this sort of thing.]
