Yeah, they're super cute! I bet this class is going to be awesome!

[photos taken moments before disaster]

[heartlands]

Ooh, do you think we'll get to play with any?

[no

but in they go! to trauma]

[wtfox]

I hope so!

[but there are no actual cats in there

there is only horror.

as they're settling in and the movie starts, lila whispers - ]

...I think maybe we misunderstood what this class was?

[heartlands]

[as soon as anything appears on the screen, before they even see the cgi monstrosities:]

—What is that?! [oops. that was loud.] I mean, uh, whaaaaat is that.

[sometimes you have never seen a movie before in your life and didn't even know what movies were prior to this moment, and cats 2019 is clearly an excellent place to start?]

[wtfox]

[...!

whisperwhisper]

Oh! I guess they don't have movies where you're from?

[heartlands]

[shaking his head! as he whispers back:]

No. They don't have a lot of stuff where I'm from, as I'm quickly finding out... What is it?

kicks gmail's ass

[wtfox]

It's like... a story, but it's acted out by people so it's like you're watching it, only it's recorded so you don't have to be there when they're doing the acting, you can watch it whenever you want.

[heartlands]

Oh, seriously? That's really cool! So... Kind of like those pictures you can make using the phones, but it also moves?

[so much excitement! that is going to end very quickly, because the opening music is coming on. in his last few moments of childlike innocence:]

Wow...

[wtfox]

Exactly like that!

[a beat]

Ooh, the scenery is really pr-... what the heck is that.

[hello, cats.]

[heartlands]

I...

That's... What?

[he has nothing more to say yet, but he's making this exact face.]

[wtfox]

[she rubs at her eyes as if she expects to see something different when her hands come away


but nope. it's exactly what she was looking at before.]

Uhhh...

[heartlands]

Is... Is this still a movie.

[wtfox]

I feel like it's an insult to movies to call this a movie.

[heartlands]

[whispered:]

Would it be better or worse if I had a frame of reference for this...?

[wtfox]

[I WILL KILL GMAIL FOR NOT GIVING ME THIS NOTIF]

Better, because at least this wouldn't be your only example of a movie...!

[heartlands]

Honestly, I'm just glad to know there are better ones, because that was... Wow.

[wtfox]

It was pretty awful, right? I feel sorry for every cat-lover who watched that movie.

[heartlands]

I feel like everyone who watched it in general should get an apology.

[wtfox]

Seriously. It was like torture. My eyes will never be the same.

[heartlands]

...Do you think we would get in trouble if we just left?

[wtfox]

...maybe the professor won't notice if we're really quiet about it.

[heartlands]

When I'm sneaking out of the castle I usually go out the windows, but that's more complicated without something to use to scale down the wall...

[rupert]

[wtfox]

[...boy,]

Hmm... I think we might be a little too high up for that to work. I've got my jacket, but that's not big enough to really be a rope...

[heartlands]

Yeah, the door is probably safer... It's just a matter of getting there before he notices.

[wtfox]

Maybe we can try to make a break for it when he's distracted by the movie...?
