Thirty Spoons {Dictated; Action}

[cyan_maid]

[It seems that, after all the frustration of the past few days, Jane has mellowed out. She certainly sounds more chipper over the journal today.]

I think I've had more than enough excitement than I ever cared to, but personally, I suppose it's a waste not to do something fun while we're here. I'm not one for movies, but I heard there's a theater about five blocks down the road or so, and there's an awful lot of advertisement for - King Lear, I believe it's called? The creators must be keen on getting folks to see Shakespeare, they cast Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger for the lead! I can't help but be a little curious.

Who would like to join me in...an hour, let's say? And then there's a showing another half hour after that, so we'd have time for popcorn and such.

[She takes down the address here. See you there!]

((OOC: Feel free to either comment that you'll be there or just show up for the ride, and by all means, jump into any thread you like!))

Wait, wait. There's a new Schwarzeneggar movie? I am so there!

[action]

[waterproofed]

[and sure enough, Percy arrives at the theater. He doesn't know Shakespeare; alll he knows is that Arnold is going to be in this movie. Which means guns and explosions]

Heya.

Action to end

[cyan_maid]

[Jane recognizes your voice from the journal! She's been hanging around the theater in the hopes that people would show up, and she grins.]

Hi! You're here to see the movie, right?

[waterproofed]

Totallly! I'm looking forward to someone else running for their lives for a change.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, now that I can certainly get behind.

[She looks around.] Do you want to linger outside for a bit to see who else shows up, or should we head inside and see if everyone else follows suit?

[waterproofed]

If we wait too long all the good seats will be taken. How 'bout we go in and get some snacks?

[cyan_maid]

Alright!

[And in we go! King Lear must be pretty big in San Diego, there's advertising for it everywhere.] Holy Moley!

[heliotroping]

Hmm... I think I have time for that. [his entire schedule is literally just sitting on the beach and soaking sunlight in]

[cyan_maid]

Then you should come! It should prove to be a most normal outing, thank goodness.

[heliotroping]

Yeah, after the.. not normal outing.

[cyan_maid]

Hoo hoo! It's nice to do something calm after something so harrowing, though!

[heliotroping]

Definitely. Especially with others. I've been on the beach by myself all day, and it got a little lonely.

[cyan_maid]

[Aaw! Being lonely isn't fun!]

So you should definitely come, then!

[heliotroping]

I will.

Hmm... Do theaters have a dress code?

[whichwayyoulean]

None of those names mean anything to me. What's the story about?

[Yeah he's checking after Bambi :|]

[cyan_maid]

Well, from what I've heard, King Lear is the story of a king whose name is Lear, and he tries to figure out which of his three daughters to leave his estate to. Two are devious and hate him, and one is pure and loves him dearly, but her sisters knock her out of the picture right quick. It all dissolves into war, trickery, and a fair amount of death. I think most everyone dies. And Mr. Schwarzenegger is infamous for being quite the interesting actor where I'm from.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Wow again Earth brings a movie to the table where death is a main component of the story line.

I seriously worry about this planet sometimes.

[cyan_maid]

It's really for drama more than anything, Once-ler. Though, if Mr. Schwarzenegger is in a movie, chances are it won't nearly be as dramatic and serious. He's garnered a cult following for his performances being unintentionally hilarious.

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh...well, I think I can live with unintentionally hilarious.

[cyan_maid]

If you come and you don't like all of the death, I won't be offended if you decide to leave part of the way through.

[whichwayyoulean]

Okay then, Jane. We have a deal.

[psych0p0mps]

Who's Arnold Schwarzenegger?

[cyan_maid]

He's a very muscular man with a prominent Austrian accent who acts in action movies and makes everything sillier by accident. You should come Aradia, it should be fun!

[psych0p0mps]

Oh! Okay, I'd love to!

[cyan_maid]

Wonderful! [She makes sure to repeat the directions.] I might have gone inside by the time you get there, but the building itself shouldn't be that hard to miss!
