[John's had a few days to settle in, enroll in school, and get bored. He's video posting in deference to the couple of people he's met who've been annoyed with the texting.]

Hey guys!

Uh, for those of you that haven't met me yet, I'm John Egbert. I've been here a few days now and I figure it's time to get started on climbing my echeladder again.

So, anyway, I heard about this weird dungeon that you can only explore during the dark hour. Anyone want to come with me to check it out?

[Anyone with any sense at all will probably say no.]
[OOC: this is intended to be a lead in to an actual dungeon crawl log. pretty much anyone is welcome to come, whether he knows them or not.]

Hey, Kaoru! It's John. When did you wanna go to that movie?

Long story short: they looked like us -- us being the people still out and about during the dark hour, and knew stuff that only that person would know. It was like everyone had an evil twin that shared their brain and called itself a "Shadow". Kinda creepy!

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Wow...


That sounds like it would make an awesome movie.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Y'know.

...I didn't even think of that.

[A pause before she nods in agreement.]

Yeah. It'd be much more fun to see happen on a screen than it was to live it. That was... bleh.

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yeah... I think most really good movies are about stuff that would suck if it actually happened to you.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

That's more or less why they're interesting, though! More than being about bad things, they're about fantastic situations. The kinda thing you wouldn't normally see. They draw ya in like that.

I know, right? I love movies!

Hey, what's your favorite movie of all time? Mine's Con Air!

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I have a terrible confession to make: I've barely seen any at all. Only got to see my first a bit after I arrived here in Prospero.

[She tries to remember it.] I'm bad with names... It was about some men fighting in a big building... over money or something. Um, I think it was set in a time near to that upcoming holiday, too. There was this one scene where the hero was walking over glass with his bare feet... it looked really, really painful!

Geeeez.....

What is it with this town? There's way too many people who have been deprived of quality cinema!

But we can totally fix that. I was actually thinking about having a Nic Cage-a-thon sometime soon. We can watch Con Air, National Treasure, The Wicker Man.....

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

In my defense, I didn't have access to 'em 'till I got here.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that those titles all rank among your favorites?

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Seriously? You didn't have movies where you came from?

Yeah, those are all pretty sweet flicks.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Nope. Looooow tech. Would never have dreamed of a phone like this before Prospero, for example.

What's your favorite, if I'm allowed to ask? If you do do the movie viewing thing, I'll make sure to at least stop by for that one.

[theheirofbreath.livejournal.com]

Con Air. Definitely. It's this totally awesome story about an ex-con trying to reunite with his estranged wife and daughter, but he gets caught up in this big terrorist plot and has to fight for his life alongside fellow prisoners and government agents.

And at the end, he has a tearful reunion with his sweet daughter Casey. It's completely awesome, and you should totally see it.

Welp, I'm sold. It sounds like it's a fun watch. Anything I could do to help you set up the, uh, "Nic-Cage-a-Thon", was it?
