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.

Mortal governments have little interest to me, save for their policies regarding religion, but...I can understand what you mean. Things rot particularly easily with the right circumstances, and governments are prone to that sort of thing.

[~~Also, Hail Hydra~~]

But that...that sounds like the plot to a movie. Did you get the idea from one? Because it's very clever.

/Movies and reality have an odd way of reflecting each others. Cons existed well before movies were around, but movies have also popularized popular cons. They all work the same way though. A mark, a plan, a reward, an exit./

Yes, I suppose that makes sense. I don't know much about conning people, but I've read some stories on them. I've...never really had the need.

[Shruuuug]

What is a mark, though? Is that slang?

/Sorry, it's slang. A mark is your target. Usually an individual but it can apply if you're targeting a group as a whole. You can also have multiple marks, but there's usually a primary one. The leader or the easiest one to get to, depends on the goal./

Ah. Well that I do understand. Thank you, for that. I'm not very good with modern slang.

/It's modern slang, but also a little more specialized. Sorry, I forget sometimes not everyone ran with the same crowds I was in./

[Criminal crowds, hunter crowds, grifters, mercs. That was her life for a long time. Her world, though she never quite belonged in it, much like Luceti. But there were good stories and good moments and Ginia knows she loved the thrill of a good job.]

/You should ask E-V-A-N about some of his stories, he has good ones./

Evan? Your singing friend?

[She'd seen the broadcast?]

[Ginia nods and quickly glances around to see where Evan is. Ah, over by the food table.]

/I'm making him do host duties too, much easier for him. He loves talking to and meeting people./

Good, good. I'll make sure to speak with him then.

[After all, friend of a friend...]
