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!

I'm not sure how to tell. Nothing struck me as noticeably too long. But of course, I'm hardly experienced in film-making.

You are doing a sight better than I am, given that movies are entirely new to me. I daresay they would not go unappreciated, granted, but we do not have the means for much more than theater.

We have that as well, though I've never seen a production. Movies are more common, and certainly more easily-accessible.

Well, that makes sense. I suppose I am glad to hear that it is possible to experience both as independent forms of art, though, considering the experience must is, indeed, fairly different.

I suppose it would be. [It...must be, right? It's felt different talking to people in person than over video calls.] Sometimes they film productions of plays so that more people can see them, but that is probably also fairly different from really being there.

Most certainly. The thing about theater is that some directors can get fairly creative with how they interact with the audience, which would be missing from things you would not be seeing in person.

I would be curious to see something like that. It's a shame we can't.

[Everybody in this world but them is brainwashed, after all.]

Well, I would hope we get some perks for saving the world. Theater tickets would be acceptable as at least one reward, I think.

...are you planning to stay here, afterwards?

[He'd just thought they would all be sent back home.]

[...]

Well. I presume they would at least let us have some fun before we leave, if we did not have anything pressing.

[It's not a real answer.]

That...might be nice.

[Turo doesn't seem to notice. Truth be told, he hasn't given any thought to the future himself. It's hard to imagine that he will actually live through this - that there will be any time when he might theoretically get to go off and do anything he wanted.]

I think it would... so long as we were not bogged down with official functions and left to our own devices, at any rate. I would rather not deal with anyone particularly important...

[let him have fun. he wants to ride a plane. he wants to go clubbing.]

Official functions?

[This idea had clearly not occurred to him before!]

Oh, yes. If this is at all publicized rather than covered up, we may have to meet with a number of world leaders to receive accolades and whatnot in long, drawn-out ceremonies.

.....oh, god.

[please hold while he contemplates this potential nightmare!]

...

Perhaps if we ask Tails very nicely we will be able to slip away somewhere and come back when it is not likely to be a problem.

Hm. Maybe so.

[Turo actually smiles a little.]

...I will inquire about it at some point. It is worth asking about.

[...there are a few things he needs to discuss with tails actually...]

I wonder if they really would let us stay...?

[Would it be a good idea? Does he even want to? Unsure!]

I would imagine so, unless there was some sort of reason for us to have to leave.

Hm. I did not have any plans for what I was going to do, before this. I suppose I am curious about the options.

[He also doesn't have them now! Admittedly!]

It is worth thinking about. Admittedly, I am also somewhat uncertain as to what I will do after all this... I suppose that remains to be seen.

I suppose...it's difficult to have real plans in situations like this one.

[Though. He imagines most of the people here plan to go home.]

In any case, it doesn't seem as though we're all that close to resolving it.

...indeed it does seem that way. I suppose it gives us plenty of time to think about what we may want to do, at any rate.

Probably quite a bit of time. I'm hardly familiar with this kind of scenario, but it seems...unlikely, for a group with our numbers, to overcome such a foe.
