Movie Night IV: Movie Harder

[unrecovered]

Who| Wash and anyone who wants to join
What| Movie night!
Where| The same lounge movie night is always in
When| A few days after Silent Horizon and No Sanity Clause
Warnings/Notes| They're watching Clue, because Tim Curry is the cure for everything.

It has been, to put none too fine a point on it, a shitty week. Everyone needs a place where they can relax and get their minds off what's happened; to that end, Wash figures it's about time for another movie night, and goes for a comedy this time. Sure, Clue is technically a murder mystery with a slow build, but he's pretty sure people will enjoy it as long as he's up front about it.

There's tables full of snacks and drinks set up, per usual. Extra blankets are piled on the arms and backs of chairs and sofas, because blankets make things better and therefore need to be available. There's a sign outside the door with the movie's title, MPAA rating, and a brief summary, along with a note at the bottom: Movie night is neutral territory. Might as well make it known up front.

By the time she gets back, Dave is prepared. He's still thoroughly bundled, but one arm has managed to wiggle out the bottom side to be usable while still mostly covered by a loose end of the blanket. He nods his appreciation when she returns, snagging up that apple juice almost reverently. Fuck yeah.

"Alright, the title of Best Friend is yours. Use it wisely, don't abuse your power, etc." He scoots himself up a little, stabs the straw through the box, and takes a sip before moving to take the rest of the snacks and setting them on the small table beside the couch. He'd prepared for this little nest in every way possible, it seemed, except for the snacks part. "Some hearts will be broken when they hear the position is no longer up for grabs, but they'll have to deal, I guess."

"You got it, boss." Connie snorts as she hands off the goods before taking a seat on the other side of the sofa.

"Does the title come with any other perks? Does it come with health and dental plans and all that? Overtime pay?"

"What do I look like, a Fortune 500 company? You get all that shit through the Super Friends anyway. Save maybe overtime, I don't think overtime is really a thing in a job that is technically 24/7." Obligingly, Dave shuffles up a bit closer to the arm of the couch so he's less spread across the whole thing. She probably doesn't want his socks all up in her business. "Nah, perks are the joy of being able to call such a suave dude your bestie and maybe a shoutout in a future rap."

Connie sighs dramatically, giving a half shrug as she pops a few chips in her mouth, "It'll do."

And then after a moment she quirks a brow, "Wait, really?"
