When: August 14th.
Rating: R.
Characters: Everyone! Tell your friends!
Summary: There are no Star Wars people in the City so let's have ourselves a bit of education.

What started off as a brosession quickly turned into a free for all movie night. Not that Stiles minds considering, but it means he has to plan and execute everything a lot more smoothly. So when Saya offers up the equipment they need he jumps at the chance.

Isaac helps cart everything about - werewolf strength, Stiles is envious -, and together they track down a space in Xanadu and fill it. It's not a hot night but it's warm and balmy and nobody's going to end up with pneumonia. Squashy beanbags get borrowed off a particularly hipster coffee shop and placed liberally about the place. They take what they can, couches that fit out of doors and large obnoxious cushions so everyone has a place to settle. There's a fuckton of candy too. Stiles pretty much wipes out a weeks allowance alone getting it and the soda. But if he's doing something he's doing it properly and he texts everyone the time and the place and all but collapses into a beanbag.

When people arrive he'll move. Honest.

Struggling with the idea of being able to forget some of the people here.

[ But he doesn't want to, either, joking aside. ]

You've been here longer than me, but you'd still give anything to get back home. Right?

[hexuality]

[Would she?]

Yeah, of course. Wouldn't anyone?

[bettercallit]

Yeah, sure.

[ He shrugs, but it's not as casual as usual; he doesn't have much of a home to go back to, no one waiting, but there are people and a job he's good at there. ]

Doesn't mean I'm ready to go yet, thinking about sticking around a little longer, y'know?

[hexuality]

I didn't mean to stick around longer. I just did.

[bettercallit]

Hey, c'mon, I'm trying to convince myself we've got a choice in this here.

[hexuality]

[She grins a bit, shrugging.]

I'm just being maudlin, then.

[bettercallit]

It happens to the best of us. [ He's not even sure how their conversation took such a serious turn, but in a weird way it's oddly nice. ] But it's not all bad here, it's got its moments. And like you said, the people are okay. Just think, you wouldn't've met me without it.

[hexuality]

[Because Ginny is being serious for the first time in a long while.]

And what sad life would I have led without you in it?

[bettercallit]

One not worth contemplating on a pleasant evening like this. And, besides, you're not that unfortunate.

[ With a smirk, he lifts his bottle to clink gently to hers before taking a swallow. ]

[hexuality]

[She takes a drink as well, rolling the mouth of her bottle over her bottom lip as she contemplates the movie-goers, the evening as a whole.]

Well, it'll sound selfish, but I'm glad you're here.

[bettercallit]

It's a pleasure to be of service, ma'am.

[ There's something a little cheeky in his expression, and if his eyes linger on there the bottle is placed for a moment longer than is appropriate, can anyone really blame him. ]

[hexuality]

[No, but she doesn't catch it, either. She's busy squinting at the movie and trying to catch up to what she's missed.]

You've distracted me from my distraction is what you've done.

[bettercallit]

You should learn to multi-task.

[ But his own gaze finds the screen, except he's seen the films before. ] Want me to stand down?

[hexuality]

No. Hang round with me, tell me what I missed.

[bettercallit]

Okay, you're on. What're you following so far? 'Cause someone's got to educate you.
