[OPEN] and then it just kept getting worse

[chronomancer]

characters: (jade!) Eridan Ampora and anyone willing to be subjected to movies, self-pity and shrugging.
setting: floor 14 - the media room
format: starting with action, but I'll match your preference
summary: Eridan has found heaven, aka, somewhere to watch movies and forget his life sucks quite as much as it does.
warnings: pity-party? Will add more as necessary.

[After making himself scarce for a bit, trying to get a hold of everything going on and finally finish untangling his goddamn reels, Eridan's wandering around the Tower landed him somewhere he almost dare hope wouldn't suck too much. He wasn't sure he wanted to tempt fate and ask how it could suck: there were movies he had never watched there. So after making sure he wasn't going to run into someone he didn't want to, he curled up in a beanbag chair and set up to demolish a pile of movies until he either felt better, the world stopped sucking, or he forgot he felt like shit because the world sucked.

If you enter the media room, you'll find his horns the most recognizable part of his silhouette against the screen where something vaguely violent but definitely adventurous is going on. He's folded his knees to his chest, resting his chin on his knees, and seems completely absorbed by the narrative trying hard to be heard over the explosions and Really Fucking Cool Shit going on in the movie.

[Eridan looks up at the movement, jumpy as always, which meant that the movie wasn't entirely doing its job properly. But upon seeing Estelle he offered a small smile. She was nice.]

Hey.

[selenic]

[She smiles back, deciding to take that as an invitation to talk.]

Hello! What are you watching?

[chronomancer]

[Eridan shrugs and sinks a bit further into the beanbag. He's vaguely aware that getting out of the thing is going to be interesting, but aside that, it's pretty comfortable and very conductive to watching movies.]

Ah,the box said the title was The Ultimator, wwhich I guess it's a human title, because it doesn't say much about it.

[Headtilt...]

What kind of titles do trolls have?

[chronomancer]

Wwell, goin from wwhat I'vve seen so far from this movvie? The story of a robot sent from the future to kill the human knowwn as Sara O'connor, wwho is a young wwoman wwhose life wwill havve a great significance in the future, but not his future exactly. The Sara human has only one protector wwho also comes from the future an wwho fights the Ultimator an his amazin intelligence an strength to prevvent an irrevvocable paradox that wwould destroy their wworld anywway. But I might be biased about that last part.

[Blink.]

That was a title?

[chronomancer]

...wwell, no because I just made it up, but if I'd made this movvie an I needed a title, that's wwhat I'd title it.

[selenic]

Oh.... The titles where I'm from are usually much shorter.

[chronomancer]

Yes, human titles are, from wwhat I knoww.

[Eridan shrugs.]

Wwe just ran out a short titles a long time ago.
