Characters: Riku and WIDE OPEN!
Setting: after this thread; Floor 14 - Media Floor
Format: Action preferred, but I'll match
Summary: Riku asked about his Halloween costume, Ruana supplied a DVD. Clearly this calls for a MOVIE NIGHT~!
Warnings: flailing, popcorn throwing, but I doubt there will be anything beyond that. Also, feel free to threadjack around as you like? |D


[At first, Riku isn't entirely sure what to do with the disc Ruana left with him... the terminal wouldn't play it though, which leaves him with one other floor that probably suits his needs.

...He is probably a little to curious/bothered by all of this, he thinks as he climbs up the stairs to the Media Floor.

And still it doesn't keep him from tracking down the right slot to stuff that disc into and settling back into one of the couches, glancing down when Highwind materializes from a cluster of clouds and curls against his side, frowning down at him as the ballet starts. Then he just shakes his head and focuses on the film before him, one hand absently settling in the bat's fur.

Time to see what this story Ruana had spoken of was all about.

Care to join him?]

[Tohko, having just finished cleaning up the research library, was walking down the stairs when she heard The Nutcracker being played from the media room. Normally, she didn't go in there..but she loved the music and story of The Nutcracker so much that she couldn't help it. She wandered into the room and noticed a silver-haired boy sitting with a purple bat on one of the couches.

Not wanting to bother him if he was enjoying the film, Tohko sat on the couches far end, watching the play and remembering the delicious story that was The Nutcracker. To her, the tale had tasted like a box of candy canes with some hot chocolate.]

[It's not really so much that he is watching it for the enjoyment - though the music really is quite nice, even if it is very different to what he is used to from back home. He petted Highwind behind his ears, as he narrowed his eyes, frowning the further the story progress.

By the time of Act Two, he looks kind of rather bewildered though, because seriously, Ruana? Seriously?]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko clapped a little bit as the first act ended and the Nutcracker-turned prince led Clara away. It was polite to do so, and she did love the story of this ballet. However..she realized that the silver-haired boy might not have appreciated the interruption, so she apologized as quietly as she could.]

Oh..I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you.

[justabignobody]

[He snaps his head around at hearing her clap, starring for a moment - he is still kind of put off by what he had found out just now - then just shakes his head sharply.]

...It's okay. You didn't.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko smiled and nodded at that.]

Ah, alright then! How are you enjoying the ballet so far?

[justabignobody]

[He frowns, because well... it's not exactly what he would have expected; they don't have anything like ballets where he is from. He shrugs after a moment, he supposes he enjoys it well enough.]

It's alright.

[tohko_amano]

Well, it's good that you're enjoying it. If you need help with the plot, let me know.

[Sometimes, people got confused with ballets, and while Tohko knew the story well enough to follow along, she could remember times where she had to explain the story to friends.]

[justabignobody]

I've kept up so far.

[...Somewhat.]

Thanks for the offer though.

[tohko_amano]

Ah, don't mention it! Let me know if you change your mind. I'm always happy to help.

[And Tohko then went back to watching the ballet.]

[justabignobody]

[He blinks at her for a moment, before shaking his head.]

...Sure.

[And with that he returns to the ballet as well.]
