MOVIE NIGHT

[carcinogenetics]

[ WHO ]: Karkat, YOU, WHOEVER YOU INVITED.
[ WHERE ]: Room 315, or Karkat and poor, suffering Shirou's flat.
[ WHEN ]: 6:30 on the Wednesday after Karkat's last post here!
[ OPEN/CLOSED? ]: TOTALLY OPEN.
[ RATING ]: PG-13 for language and movie content idk.
[ WARNINGS ]: ROMCOMS. That might turn into HORROR MOVIES. Who knows.
[ NOTES ]: This post is totally open! I'm going to turn off comment notifications for this entry, so feel free to have your own threads independent from Karkat. You can find a description of the apartment in the apartment listings page.

He's going to be playing 100 Days With Mr Arrogant first, then My Girlfriend Is An Agent. Others can come up later in the thread. The movies will be interspersed by audio and clips from Ju-on: The Grudge every now and then.

Bring your own food since Karkat will get pissy if you eat his, but feel free to come and go through the night. The whole point is Karkat's tsundere for leadership way of trying to boost morale after the doll event, so you're all invited!

... Unless you're Vice or Visi, but you can show up too :>

[ Too late...he's already nodding decisively as he straightens up now that she's off of him. ]

You're small enough that I could just put one hand over your eyes...but...

[ How would he cover her ears? Oh, wait, it'd be simple: just put one hand over one ear and hold her head against his shoulder so the other ear was covered. That'd require getting awfully close to her, but for the sake of preserving her innocence in the face of "romance scenes," it would be acceptable. ]

That's right, it'll work out fine. Oh, I should make sure there are enough seats. Are you comfortable, Ilya?

[overwinters]

Uh-huh. I'm fine.

[ Although that extends to more than just her sitting position right now.. since he might not be letting up on the whole issue, but Ilya is just as stubborn. ]

I don't get what there's for me to not see though. That guy said it was about romantic movies or something like that, right? So.. then it's just about people falling in love. That's normal. [ Or supposed to be normal for most people, more like. ]

[youlostme]

Oh, I guess you know about things like that, huh...

[ But that's a bit odd. How does someone as pure and sheltered as Ilya know about "falling in love"? Should he even ask?

No, he can't quite ask. ]

But you don't know about the things people do when they're in love, so I might have to put a hand over your eyes when those come up. Okay? Okay.

[overwinters]

[ DARNIT SHIROU IT'S SINCE YOU HERSELF SHOWED HER!! But then again, it's not really his fault he doesn't realise since he's from earlier.. ]

Geez, then how am I ever supposed to learn? [ Although deep down she knows it'd be no use either way, despite having gotten a second chance at life, there's no way she'd live long enough for her to actually grow to a point where she could.. ]

[youlostme]

Your--

[ '--parents will tell you,' he's about to say, but then he just looks at her and gets this weird uncomfortable feeling, like isn't that a very bad thing to say to Ilya of all people?

He looks kind of sad for a moment. ]

Um, I'll tell you someday. I think it should be my responsibility.

[overwinters]

"Someday"?

[ She leans a little closer to him again as she asks him it, blinking at him. ]

When is that going to be then, Shirou?

[youlostme]

I don't know exactly, but...it'll have to be when this Holy Grail War is finished, Ilya. I'm not going to let you die in it even if you are my enemy back home. I'll find a way to save everyone, so you can come visit my home and eat my cooking then.

[ And he smiles fearlessly. He knows he can do it. He has someone like Saber at his side, and besides, he has to. ]

[overwinters]

[ .. Ouch. She somewhat expected that answer, but still, she figured maybe there still was the possibility of "someday later in this place" or something like that.. because there's no way she can go home anymore. After what she did, sacrificing herself for Shirou like that.. she doesn't exist there anymore.

But even before that, there's no way it could have happened. Either of them would have died. It just happened that in the end she chose for Shirou to live. ]

.. You'd really want me to visit you more, Shirou? [ Ilya knows she shouldn't ask. It's almost like hope, and that's what will make it hurts - she should just resign herself to everything as usually, kill her emotions off again. ]

[youlostme]

[ He doesn't see. He doesn't see the pain his words cause. Shirou is still living in a world where everyone can be saved, or so he tells himself.

So he just keeps smiling. ]

You'd have to promise not to try to kill me, all right? That'd be really inconvenient.

[overwinters]

[ Whatever emotions might lie behind everything manifest in nothing but a childish huff as she turns her face away from him. ]

In that case I can't promise anything! [ As if that is really the problem here.. ]

[youlostme]

[ He hesitates. The smile falters a little. ]

Well, I did break my promise to come see you that time. So it's unfair of me to ask you make me a promise.

All right, Ilya. When you're satisfied that I can keep a promise to you, you can make that promise to me.
