DAY TWO

[ino]

[Another beautiful day in Konoha!



So you've been here for a day. You've had plenty of time to get into trouble and get to know your way around. How about going on a mission with your team, then? Or maybe that new movie opening up today piques your interest ...]

[ MISSION ASSIGNMENT DESK | VACATION | MOVIE THEATER | SHUSHUYA | YAKINIKU Q

For more information on the village and its locations, check out Narutopedia, or feel free to contact me through PM/IM (terraqueous orb)/Plurk (chomesuke) for any questions! The only NPCs in this post will be Gai and the old lady in the opt-out threads, but feel free to NPC any civilian or ninja townspeople you need to. DAY ONE is still open for backtagging!]

[Zelos went out of curiosity since he knew about the book series beforehand. So after collecting some earplugs, he's sitting in the back of the theatre with his feet up doing pretty much this. The main question is whether or not he's doing it at the movie or the audience's reaction.]

[Though hey at least his clothes are a bit better from yesterday's monstrosities?]

[persequor]

[ Hi Zelos. Someone seem familiar? At least what's visible as she slowly sinks further and further down on her seat. ]

[wilder]

[You know...he can't even bring himself to be surprised. Of course she would come into a place that said she wasn't allowed.]

[So he'll just be tossing a piece of popcorn at her little head]

[persequor]

[ Arya starts when she feels something hit her. Unable to find what it was, she peers over the top of her seat to find the one responsible. Spotting Zelos, she only hunches down further, her head disappearing from view. ]

[wilder]

[he meanwhile just snickers and waves. Not even gonna get worked up about this one- he's sure seeing this movie is punishment enough for Arya]

[persequor]

[ After a while, her head pops back into view. ]

What did you throw at me?

[ A chorus of shh's greet her. Arya glares at her closest neighbor. ]

Shut up.

[wilder]

[a sigh and whisper back]

Come up here if you wanna talk, my little wolf.

[persequor]

[ Oh, sure, give in to the demands of terrorists. Bad Zelos. ]

Fine.

[ Getting up, she shuffles down her row and climbs up the steps to Zelos'. She plops down in the seat next to him. ]

[wilder]

[That's right. Let's not piss off an entire room full of ninjas and their porn. When she plops down, he'll tilt his bag of popcorn in offering]

It's popcorn.

[persequor]

Oh. I think I've had this before. [ She takes one. ] Connor said it's a crime to watch a movie without it.

[wilder]

Really?

I wouldn't know, this is only my second movie.

[persequor]

Have you seen Absolute Mettle?

[wilder]

Absolute Mettle?

[a pause; okay he admits he never actually learned the name of the movie he saw]

That wasn't about some stupid baby deer, was it?

[persequor]

No. [ The fuck kind of movies have you been watching? ]

[wilder]

[the worst kinds]

Then nope! I haven't.

1/2

[persequor]

Then you have to watch it with me! It's very good!

[persequor]

It's much better than— [ She looks at the screen at the worst moment. She makes a tiny groan of disgust as she covers her eyes with her hands. ]

[wilder]

[He chuckles, reaching over to squeeze her shoulder. There there child]

Alright. Show it to me when we get back to the castle.

[persequor]

[ Not dropping hands. Nope. ]

Why do people pay to see this?

[wilder]

Hmmm...bad tastes, morbid curiosity or they find it funny.

Any of those really.

[persequor]

That's funny? [ Arya peeks through her fingers at the screen again. ] I should have hit him a lot harder.

[wilder]

For some. [Especially those who can tell how cheesy and fake this all is]

Hit who a lot harder?

[persequor]

Man who said he wanted to do that to me. I hit him with my practice sword and ran away.

[ She again hides her eyes. How does anyone enjoy these things, really? ]

[wilder]

Hm.

Yeah, you should've hit him much harder. [I WILL KILL HIM]

[persequor]

[ Disgusted and more than a little horrified though she may be, Arya doesn't leave. She's not a child. She won't be chased out by some stupid movie. Peeking through her fingers again, Arya catches sight of movement close by. One of the ushers. ]

Oh, seven hells!

[ She scrambles over Zelos' lap to the seat on the other side of him. Grabbing his hair she pulls it in front of her like a curtain. ]

I'm not here!
