movie time

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Sunday morning, everyone will find a note under their door.

You are cordially invited to a movie marathon in the entertainment room! Come and go as you please!
After everything we've been through the last week, it would be nice to have a group activity where we can all relax, especially for Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles.
Our list of movies includes:
Shrek
Shrek 2
Jupiter Ascending
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
...and movies of your choice!

Bring snacks, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude! ☺

Yes, this is handwritten and copied for each and every person here. Or, at least each and every room.

The entertainment room itself has not been decorated or anything—this was not planned with that much foresight—but the chairs and couches have all been arranged so they're close together for maximum occupancy and maximum movie theater imitation. Some people will probably have to cuddle up on the floor against couches or find some beanbags or something, but it'll be cozy!

An amount of popcorn, soda, and candy have been provided, but you will probably need to restock at some point, especially if you're staying for the whole marathon!

[ He sees her hand and reaches out for it. He doesn't hold it without sliding his fingers between hers first, this time. ... It's pretty nice. ]

Of course. And if anything, you're way too cute for me to not let you off the hook if something happens.

[ HE IS JOKING........ ]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Oh... Oh that feels nice. ]

S-something? Something like what?

[ do not let her mind wander she'll overload and it has nothing to do with anxiety this time ]

[plushes]

[ Aw... ]

Like a mistake or something, but I was kidding. I don't think you'd do anything to chase me away, Ashley.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ ...Ha. Well... ]

R- right- of course. Silly me.

[ But, she must have done something to—

She won't address it. She'll have to, but right now, she won't. ]

B-but if I do slip up, you'll tell me, right?

[plushes]

Well, I probably should, shouldn't I?

[ He shakes his head. ]

Don't worry about it, though. I'm happy. [ He tugs her a little closer. ] Promise.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ He wouldn't say that, if— ]

...Okay. [ She leans her head against his shoulder. ] Have, uh, you seen any of the movies?

[plushes]

Nope, never heard of any of them. They're all pretty new to me.

Which one's your favorite?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Thank god, an easy topic to divert to. ]

Fellowship of the Ring! It's the first movie in a trilogy, and I'm only showing one today, because I'm confidant that a good number of people will return for the others tomorrow.

[plushes]

Neat! I'll have to pay special attention to that one.

[ And he will!! He will try to be as invested as she is. He's a sap who wants to know what she likes. ]

And thanks for putting this together. I think we all needed something a little fun after everything.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ 🥺 TFW spending time and sharing interests with each other is your love language... ]

I came up with it last week, actually. Then uh...you know. Last week happened. I was thinking with everything we'd been through, something like this would be nice, especially for Tails and his friends.

[plushes]

Makes sense to me. They're doing a lot, especially since they're just...kids.

[ And it's fucked up that they're in this position. Even he thinks so.

Slowly, mindful of his arm, he leans back in his seat and squeezes her hand. ]

I'm sure they'll appreciate it! We all do.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Yeah... Really? I'm not... I was never really the party planning type, back home, that was...

[ Her face scrunches up a little at the timely reminder that all of her friends from home are dead. ]

Well, i-it wasn't me. I wasn't even sure how to decorate.

[ So. Those stickers are certainly appreciated honestly. ]

[plushes]

And that's exactly why you have me.

[ Cat sticker decorator supreme. ]

Don't worry, that's just small stuff I can take care of for you next time. The thought's what matters most.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...You're right...

[ This really is effectively chasing away all those nasty thoughts she shouldn't be having right now. Score. ]

Next time, maybe we can organize one of these, together?

[plushes]

[ Fun in these trying times? Yeah, he's here for that. And also, Ashley. He is always here for Ashley, let's be real.

When he thinks no one's looking, he quickly turns his head to kiss the top of her head. ]

Heh, of course. I'm always up for helping out.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ !!! Oh... Ashley's positively glowing. She squeezes his hand. ]

Like with those cute stickers all over the place?

[plushes]

[ He's slightly embarrassed to admit it, but... ]

Y-yeah, I guess so. I found those one day and just...snagged them from the store, so I thought that this would be a good way to put them to use. You like it?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I do! It's cute. Like you.

[plushes]

Like me, huh? You sure that's not you?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

No, I'm sure. I think I've spent enough time looking at you to know.

[ girl is NOT usually smooth so she is internally celebrating ]

[plushes]

[ IT SURE IS WORKING.... ]

C-c'mon, Ashley...have some mercy, will you?

[ But he's smiling. He's happy, even though he turns his head to hide it in her hair. Oops! ]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Hehe, no way. I'm practicing.

[plushes]

For what?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

This. You can't be the only one who knows how to be suave.

[plushes]

[ ?!?! why are you and yves BOTH like this. ]

...F-fine. You're getting good at this, I'll give you that.

[ HHHH. ]

But...you gotta make it up to me, now that you've gotten the upper hand.
