[so many...snaccies for too many...]

Yeah, I might've suggested that if I knew. But this is something you guys planned, didn't you? Who made the invite list?

[amain]

... I think Lila? I mentioned I wanted to invite someone and then had to do something after.

[ Not... Sure. What happened. ]

[goalsides]

[...nier?]

Otome-san invited me and Yamato, I think. Or just me, I'm actually not sure who invited Yamato. [he also doesn't care apparently.] Didn't seem like something to miss, so we're here.

[amain]

Oh, I actually thought you invited Yamato.

[ He's... Uhm. Well. ]

I'm glad you two could make it. It's a first for a handful of us.

[goalsides]

[he tilts his head.]

He knew about it before I even mentioned it. [a wry little grin.] But yeah, dude. I'm glad, too. A lot of people could use a breather after Cats, so this was a good idea. There's a lot of worlds that don't have things like these.

[not to mention:] I can't really remember the last time I sat and watched a good movie anyway.

[amain]

[ Aw, Taichi... ]

Then we'll make sure this is a great movie night. You can watch all of our reactions, experiencing other movies for the first time.

[ He laughs a bit. ]

I heard there are... Scary movie?

[goalsides]

[stop he's fine. that earns nier a smile though because the thought's kind of nice considering how messed up other things are. it's fine. they...should take advantage of the time while they have it.]

That almost sounds better than the movies themselves. [haha. but his eyes light up just a little.]

How do you feel about ghosts and stuff? Scary movies are perfect for this time of year.

[this is the digi that is actually fine with horror movies.]

[amain]

Right, with Halloween? I used to be pretty scared of them when I was younger. I'm less scared now. [ Maybe a little spooked. ] Jang Manwol isn't bad.

[ However, Nier will not be prepared for scary movies at all. They are different from real spooks. He's quiet because wow Taichi's eyes bright with mischief. ]

Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?

[goalsides]

Hard to believe she's a ghost at all. [he has spoken to manwol one on one all of like once but he has decided he likes her. nier will never be prepared for scary movies, and taichi isn't going to be the one to tell him. instead, there's an innocent smile.]

You shouldn't! They're just movies, it's not like any of it's real. [which is easy to say when you've been dealing with monsters and horrific things since you were a child. it's entirely possible taichi's way of coping is just by pretending nothing is wrong at the moment. it's easier.

on the other hand, he truly is kind of excited for people to witness something new.]

I promise you're gonna have a good time.

[amain]

Maybe that isn't her actual form.

[ Nier says that innocently and god bless Manwol isn't here to strangle him. Feels digi trauma in this dorm tonight. ]

I'll take your word for it. [ Nier will definitely be stunned like O_O later. ] Aren't the scariest things not real?

[goalsides]

I asked her about it and she told me everything. Even if it's not true, this is probably better than other ghosts. [just nodding sagely. glad that manwol will strangle nier later when she hears about this.

on the other hand, he shrugs rather easily even if it's more casual than anything.] That probably depends on what you're scared of. Sometimes the most real things are the scariest. But movies have the magic of special effects.

[and also the ability to be stopped!]

[amain]

[ He merely nods along since he doesn't know too much about Manwol. He makes a couple of connections, but fears probably shouldn't be touched. ]

You mean the magic that turned people into cats?

[ Special Effects? ]

[goalsides]

[he shudders.]

Yeah, that. It's all make-up and special effects. Definitely not real.

[amain]

[ cats ]

It did... Look choppy. [ Despite being Nier's first movie. ] Do you have a favorite genre or film?

[goalsides]

Hm...[thinking...] Action movies are pretty okay. I don't always watch horror movies but I'll watch them. [thinking...] I'm kind of open to anything, but I like the ones that're easy to watch.

[i.e. he does not like movies that make him have existential crisises from overthinking.]

[amain]

Those sound good... Kind like adventure stories, right? [ Horror he understands the genre. ] Shouldn't all movies be easy to watch?

[ like... why have... headache ]

[goalsides]

Yeah. Like adventure stories. [he will agree because it's close enough! nier did good there. but he shakes his head after that.] You would think they would be, but some people try to make movies that are thought-provoking or have hidden messages or whatever. Some of them are okay, but others are trying a little too hard.

[amain]

[ hm. ]

I think I read some books like that. Some intrigue is okay and fun, but too much of it has me lost and I forget what's happening in the book.

[goalsides]

See, you get it. [a proud nod like nier just said the smartest thing known to mankind.] If you're spending too much time giving people questions and not enough answers, you're just going to lose the point and make them mad.

[amain]

[ ah, yes, them vibing about wanting to not think. what a good bad thing. ]

... Usually, I just put the book down. Do you get mad?

[ ??????? ]

[goalsides]

What? No, I know how to put books down if I don't want to keep reading.

[but he is the type to sit through a whole movie and be mad about it at the end. nier didn't ask though, so now he doesn't have to know.]

[amain]

Then what about with movies?

[ Nier is stupid but he knows what they were initially talking about. Books are for him, a post-apocalyptic human being, not for a modern from a real city. ]

[goalsides]

[careful consideration...]

On Earth, things cost money. So if I paid to go see a movie in a theater I'll sit through it even if it's bad.

[amain]

... So you get mad with movies.

[ That's what he's getting. ]

[goalsides]

[there's a disgruntled kind of noise.]

Only sometimes.
