paradisa | 27 Blueprints -- Dictated

[When Ted wakes up and discovered he had gone to sleep simply out of boredom to wake up two weeks later, it didn't exactly grip him with the same anxiety as it had the first time it happened to him, but it did cause him to think that maybe it was a signal of some sorts. A signal to get off his ass and actually do something.

He'd spent most of the morning simply mulling over the matter, skimming the journal idly and glancing at his various belongings-- like the trashcan in the corner, filled to the brim with crumpled papers of failed architectural designs.

Around eleven, he would write in the journal.]

Vivian
Hey. Uh, sorry for not checking up on you, I was kind of in a loss-induced coma. [He continues on smoothly, unfazed.] I know it's still kind of cold out, but do you want to go take a walk in town?

Everyone
Yo, guys, it's Ted. Got knocked out for a couple weeks, so I hope I didn't miss anything too exciting. Hey, um, I guess this is directed more toward people who know me, but. You guys want to hang over at my place later? [He gives a shrug despite himself.] There's not really an occasion. But hey, why does there need to be? We're alive. Young. We need to rile this place up! Get lively!

Plus I haven't watched Galactic Battles in forever. Who's with me?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ She laughs. ]

Of course. I will stand at ready.

[Ted had tried to make the apartment look at least somewhat presentable. He'd expected a bit more of a response-- like one from Rookie, where was that guy?-- but he didn't mind. Just Lucrezia and Ezio was alright with him (even if both of them were a little bit before his time), and they were going to watch Galactic Battles! What could be better than that??

With a bowl of popcorn at the ready, a soda bottle and cups sitting invitingly on the table, and the DVD set to pause at the beginning (no title screens for movies as old as this one), Ted flops onto his couch, waiting for the arrival of his friends.]

[Ezio hadn't actually seen a movie yet, though he'd heard of them. He wasn't sure what to expect, thought he hoped it would be interesting. Surely, something about space could capture his admittedly short attention span.

He knocked on the door.]

[ Lucrezia has seen a TV hooked to various video games and even controlled a plumber jumping over barrels, yes. But she has never seen people traveling between stars so this is endlessly exciting.

With a bottle of Valencian wine in hand and no company, sadly, she walks down the hallway checking the room numbers, slowing down at the sight of Ezio. He's been ensnared by the mystery of galaxies too! ]

Auditore.

[He glances at her, mildly surprised. Small world! He almost wants to make a jab at whether she's too afraid of him to watch movies with him, but he bites it back. It wouldn't be polite.

So instead, he just smiles and gives a short bow.]

Ah, if it isn't the Borgia princess! Are you here to watch movies as well?

[ Lucrezia has almost forgotten about that scene in the snow. It's a blessing, really, to have her mind work thus in her sort of world. She giggles at the bow and replies with a small curtsy. ]

I must learn how to stop a man intent on conquering the galaxies.

[ She glances at the door. Ted might hear them anyway. ]

And I've brought wine.

That could be handy, in this place. Last time it was Paris, next time it could be outer space.

[He knocks again, just because.]

And wine... well, that makes everything perfect.

[Well yeah of course his guests come when he's taking a bathroom break.

He comes over, opening the door and grinning.]

Hey! Looks like you both made it.

[He steps to the side.]

You guys, get ready to prepare yourself for sheer awesomeness.

The castle has taught us to consider all possibilities, hasn't it?

[ Wine and company after all. She wasn't the one to ask Ezio along, but still. She beams at Ted when the door opens. Awe seems to be a measure of everything in the modern world. ]

Ted. I doubt it's possible to prepare oneself for such awe!

[He smiles, and waits so Lucrezia can enter first. There's that awe word again...]

I've yet to see one of these "movies".

[Lucrezia has no clue.]

Heh, you just may be right about that. Oh-- you haven't? Oh, Ezio, you are in for a treat!

[Ted heads straight for the couch and flops down on it.] You guys make yourselves at home!

[ She steps into the room and trots past the couch and directly to the TV, reaching out gingerly to touch the screen. Warm again. ]

Look, Ezio, this is how we will watch the story unfold, is it not, Ted? The little people made of electricity will play it out for us.

I'm looking forward to it.

[He sits down on the couch, watching Lucrezia with amusement.]

Is that what they're made of? I thought they were pictures, not people.

No, no, they're pictures. Pictures of pure awesome.

[Man, Ted's been hanging around Barney too long, hasn't he?]

C'mon, sit down, Lucrezia! Let's get this show on the road!!

Pictures then, made of electricity. Like in people's eyes.

[ She laughs, skipping back to the couch and taking a seat between them. The lady gets prime seating location, right? ]

[Good choice, Lulu.]

People's eyes have electricity?

[Works for Ted! He wastes no time in shushing the two as he puts the movie on play.

EPICNESS IS GOING TO BE HAD. Seriously, just look at those words flying through space.]

[ She giggles as quietly as she can after being shushed, turning to Ezio. ]

So I was told.

[ And now, ooh flying words. She tries her hardest to keep her mouth closed. ]

[Ooh, they've been shushed. Naughty Italians 8) He just casts a grin at Lucrezia before turning his eyes to the screen. Flying words, indeed.]

How do they take a picture of that?
