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.

[If anyone told him he had a spiritual side, he'd probably be surprised. Mainly because since he didn't subscribe to any form of organized religion which somehow equated to no spirituality, at least among the close-minded.

The smile is completely different and just highlights how different this woman is from Cynthia. He feels himself relax a bit more, the smile widening a fraction.]

Good to hear. I certainly played my part. It was mainly Ginia but I was allowed to help with the heavy lifting, snack procurement and the announcement.

But, I'm forgetting my manners. My name is Evan, at your service.

[Her own widens pleasantly, and she offers her hand for a shake. It's not that unusual to do that with Westerners anymore, so...it's not even awkward for her.]

And I am Saori. It's a pleasure, Evan.

[She pauses, shrugs, and adds.]

And you sing quite well.

[Evan takes it without any awkwardness. While he's mainly bounced around the Eastern part of the world, most of his companions have been Westerners, so he knows quite a few greeting habits.]

The pleasure is mine Saori. Japanese?

[Evan gets a pleased flush.]

Why thank you for saying so.

[She inclines her head slightly.]

Yes, that's right. I'm originally from Dazaifu. Fukuoka prefecture.

[Saori is happy to talk about home, at least, and if he's able to pick out her origin, maybe he'd pick up on her heavy Hakata-ben accent, the slight drawl of Kyushu natives.]

Ah, Kyushu area. I though your accent was familiar. I've been to Dazaifu once, went to visit the Kōmyōzen-ji. It was very calming.

[He smiles.]

Most of the time I've stuck to Taiwan but when I traveled I liked to go to Japan and China. Lots of very soothing places, and gorgeous temples.

[Her eyes flash with surprise, and her smile widens even farther, lighting up her entire face.]

Kōmyōzen-ji is less then a stone's throw away from my shrine! It's a beautiful place, for a Buddhist temple, and I've...well, I've fallen asleep in the garden more than once. So you're right about it being calming.

[She's amused by this, as she wasn't entirely sure if the complex even existed in other worlds.]
