Movie Interrupted!
"Okay!" Heather called into the rest of the complex. "DVD player's finally set up! We've got movie night!"

Things had been going rather well for her and her fellow Lights. The art show had made her more money than she'd ever had at one time in her life, her parents had somehow managed not to find out, she'd sold a piece to Ralph Dibny and his wife who'd happened to be in Chicago and had used to live in Opal, and had spent a portion of Valentine's Day faintly high off the love fumes.

Which really explained the charge she sometimes got around Cindy and Saishu or Harry and Jess.

Ganthet showed up on his own schedule, getting them to work with their powers or offering some kind of abstract philosophy.

And most of the time, she didn't feel like crying when she looked in the mirror. Pretty good.

	"I've got... Crazy, Stupid Love, Date Night, and Dan in Real Life," Heather said, "if we wanna go for Rom-Coms." She shrugged a little. "I kinda like Steve Carrell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny doesn't mention that he'd rather avoid romance if at all possible. He forces himself not to make a face upon seeing Jess and Harry. "Whatever works for you guys," he said neutrally. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Am unknowing of any of these. Recommendations accepted." Andy is eyeing the wings a little bit. "What are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry snags one of the wings and smiles his thanks at Jess for bringing them. "Chicken wings. They're really good. Try some," Harry explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're called chicken or buffalo wings. Don't let the second name mislead you Andy. They're made from chicken. They're also pretty tasty," she says with a slow smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good," Heather agreed. "What's it about, Cindy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A widowed father finally starting a new relationship .... except he's the president of the United States, so it's full of fascinating political backstabbing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy reaches for a wing tentatively. "Strange Misnomer name. Perhaps a taste?" Nom nom nom goes the wing. Bone and all. "Is interesting. Bone hard to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ummm...Andy? You're not...you're not supposed to eat the bone you know..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could choke on those," Lenny informed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's just there to support the meat Andy," Jess adds with a wide eyed blink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-02-19 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Well. That was... different. "Sounds good, Cindy," she said instead. "Let's put it in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy wipes her fingers from having a wing herself, then puts the DVD in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well you said the bone was hard to eat so...just saying you don't need to eat it," says Harry looking a little wide-eyed. He takes another wing while waiting for the movie to start. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather found a spot of her own. "Breathing is highly overrated," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny wheels himself to a nice spot and takes a wing. He really didn't feel like watching a romantic movie, but he didn't want to spoil the moods of the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-20 05:25 am UTC (link)
	Jess of course is going for a seat. She's not overly affectionate right now so she might not right away pick a spot near Harry. She's more interested in food stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I've never seen American President. But I can see why you'd like it Cindy," he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy moves to behind the couch. She does not know the film, but she stands behind to get an optimal view of the screen. "In place for film. Awaiting others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2012-02-21 02:14 am UTC (link)
	The romance, in this case, is at least buried in lots of shouting, introspection, mile-a-minute wit and wacky office hijinks, instead of shoved down the audience's throat. Cindy happily puts it on and starts enjoying said mile-a-minute wit herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy was... kinda strange, sometimes. But then again, weren't they all? People made out of crystal who get contact highs from love should not throw stones. The movie itself, was quite enjoyable. But partway through, the sound of sirens, more so than was even usual for Chicago, filled the air outside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well that can't possibly good," Lenny said dryly, trying not to panic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should we check the news? Or go see what's up," Jess asks as she shifts around looking ready to get up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
