3rd Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[always_someone]

Norman and Trevor had been throwing around a plan, almost actually a dare, really, to get together at some point to watch movies. And not just any movies either, no. They'd had a conversation about now unrealistic monsters in film happened to be, and that meant clearly they had to get together for beer and a viewing of that one about the sparkly vampires.

Look, they didn't make the movies, they just acknowledged that they existed.

Norman had actually felt weirder about renting the movie about the glittery vampires than he had about buying the case of beer, because he really did have better taste in monster movies than that while he was reasonably certain it wasn't a secret that he had no idea what he was doing with beer in the first place. So he'd made certain to find a chaser. For the movie, not for the beer. In the form of a kind of campy 80s vampire flick that he hadn't seen yet mostly by virtue of being more interested in the shambling undead than the sexy kind.

And then he'd ordered pizza enough for two, making popcorn while he waited for the food to arrive.

The amount of pizza that arrived was... not an amount to be safely consumed by two, and Norman stared at it in wonderment for a few minutes before sending a text around to any student in the dorms he had the number of:

Pizza and vampire movies on the 3rd floor?

Look, Norman didn't throw parties. Norman was just kind of baffled by the fact that apparently, he'd just sort of stumbled into doing so.

[OOC: Open party! Feel free to get a text or to just stumble on in!]

Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

Hey, there's pizza! And popcorn! A lot of both, really, because Norman had just sort of doubled-down on making more popcorn once the extra pizzas had arrived.

There was also beer. Norman made no promises as to whether or not it was good beer.

It was beer, damn it. Thay was all you needed to know while in high school.

It was PBR because Trevor was a hipster without even realizing. It was cheap, okay? It was cheap.

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"So," Norman said, looking at the beer a little sidelong. He'd reach for one in a moment. "Ready to watch some monster movies?"

Potentially terrible ones?

Pizza and popcorn and vampire movies? Well. Prompto might have been okay if they were different kinds of movies, but even if they weren't his favorite, he could appreciate them, especially in the context of a movie night because movie nights were kiiiiiind of the best, especially when you kind of just wanted to be distracted from worrying about your girlfriend and how she was doing and also about the fact that one of your besties still hadn't gotten back from a mysterious mission that she just disappeared into without really keeping in touch with anyone, either....

....MOVIES! YEAH!

Delirium didn't have a telephone. That didn't stop her from getting the text from Norman. She wandered in eventually, after wandering the rest of the third floor first. "Hooray for pizza!" she chirped, taking a piece and promptly biting the tip off. And drawing away a long strand of molten mozz, giving it a baffled look while she did. Biting through it, then chewing, she looked at the pizza in astonishment. "This tastes different. It's not cold."

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"You haven't had it fresh before, huh?" Norman grinned a little. "I'm sure there'll be plenty still around by the time it gets cold, if you prefer it that way?"

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[crack_that_whip]

"You want cold pizza?" Because Trevor only ate it that way because he was a perpetuallyhungry teenage boy.

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[intotheout]

Hell yeah, pizza and vampire movies!

Tip was maybe going to side-eye that beer, though.

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"Tip! Hey!" For what it was worth, Norman was not making headway on the beer at all. He was giving it a spirited attempt?

... He'd be fishing a bottle of Coke from the fridge before too long.

"Grab some pizza, make yourself comfortable? I made popcorn, too."

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[crack_that_whip]

It was Twilight Dusk, that beer was prescription to get through it.

Trevor waved, half glad to be able to look away from the movie that Norman had so cruelly inflicted on him. If only for a moment.

Pizza and vampire movies? Sure, Keyleth was in!

The movies would be of absolutely no help whatsoever in dealing with Sylas Briarwood down the line, but sure, why not?

"Wow, Norman," she said, eyes going a little wide when she actually saw the stacks of boxes, "you really weren't kidding about the pizza."

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[crack_that_whip]

THEY BETTER NOT SPARKLE, KEYLETH.

"I think they deliver extra for the hell of it."

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"I ordered two," Norman said, maybe a little desperately. "I mean... they did give two?"

And then some.

So much more some.

Wayne was tempting fate with work not sure exactly what he planned to with himself that evening, but there was some commotion going on just down the hall in the common room, so he thought maybe he'd just go and check out what all the fuss was about.

"Movie night?" he guessed, popping his head in the door and taking a look around, taking stock not only of the pizza and popcorn and beer, but also the people already there, before he stepped inside.

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"Movie night," Norman confirmed, waving hello. "And also pizza? And beer." Which was still a novelty, for Norman. "Vampire movies tonight, because Trevor and I wanted to see just how wrong Hollywood could get it."

Really, pretty wrong.

Illyana smelled food, so of course she was going to follow her nose to the common room to see if it was steal-able.

When she looked in and saw a party starting to form, she was hit with nostalgia for a moment for the mansion. But only for a second.

"What are we watching?" she asked the room at large, ducking in to snag some pizza. "--and can I make fun of it?"

Re: Arrive / Mingle

[always_someone]

"We're watching that one about Robert Pattinson covered in glitter," Norman offered, gesturing for her to help herself. "And I'm pretty sure there would be something the matter if you didn't make fun of it."

There was a pause, and then he added, "There's another movie after that, and I'm hoping it's better?"

He really didn't do vampire movies, he had no idea.

Lana showed up smiling. "Hello, Norman." You were being social! She was so proud.

Watch That Sparkly Movie!

[always_someone]

You know, Twilight! Dusk!

Norman really had rented this one just to know. Just saying.

Re: Watch That Sparkly Movie!

[crack_that_whip]

"What even is this." SO MANY THINGS WERE WRONG HERE, NORMAN.

Re: Watch That Sparkly Movie!

[unusual_sith]

Lana...was extremely skeptical of this entire thing. "Earth only has human sentients, so these aren't real, right? Because they don't make any sense."

Watch That Less Sparkly Movie!

[always_someone]

The 80's version, not the 2011 remake. Norman always was a sucker for campy classics.

Re: Watch That Less Sparkly Movie!

[unusual_sith]

"Are these supposed to be the same creatures as the last one? They don't seem very similar." Earth, you were weird.

Other?

If anybody wants to use this thread to start a drinking game or some other 'watching a horror movie' appropriate activity, here's the place!

OOC!
