In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

[Max doesn't bother putting out any flyers for this or anything; he's already discussed the movie party with a lot of people, and he'll probably round up anybody he's missed while he's getting ready. The preparations aren't anything too fancy. He's put a soda by each seat, along with a little plastic cup of popcorn. It's not a lot of work, but it's a fair amount of cups - maybe someone can help get it ready?

Regardless, he'll lean out the door and call when he's done:]

Hey, dudes, come watch Star Wars with us!

[Yes, it's Star Wars night. A New Hope, none of that prequel garbage. We apologize to Finn, I guess.]

[and he takes a look; nothing fancy, but there are so many people who have probably never heard of movies that it's better to just go with popcorn or chips, so he just nods his head over it and smiles]

What are we watching tonight? Did you end up with an indie movie [hey Jamie] or something you or I'd have seen?

[theundertaken]

Going with Star Wars. Get the past-times people acquainted. I might try to burn through the first two tonight, just so nobody can spoil Manaka for Darth Vader.

[andjerry]

... I don't think I've seen any of them all the way through.

[now he sounds like he's even more isolated than he really is, so he rushes to add] I know enough to ruin Darth Vader for Manaka.

Ohhhhhh shit, dude! This totally works for you too, then! I mean, not as good as seeing them all for the first time, but they're good movies.

What kinda stuff do you like to watch usually? You must be busy a lot, I guess. [With your two jobs, only one of which pays you, and also you seem to do a lot of inexplicable domestic work for the police station]

so uh he referenced game of death when talking with prompto so...

[andjerry]

[excuse me the domestic work is his job]

I don't think you'd believe it, but... there was a lot of TMC on at my house when I was growing up. I'm still going to watch noir when I get the chance, where nothing's ever how it first seems...

So you can see why I missed Star Wars.

[theundertaken]

Ooooooh, black and white films! Sophisticated.

[He grins.]

I haven't seen too many of those. When I was growing up, pretty much everything we watched was Spanish-language stuff.
