Movie Night IV: Movie Harder

[unrecovered]

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.

"Yeah, a sign that I was able to make because I'd seen the movie and knew what it was about." They're fast approaching circular logic here, and Wash does not want to get caught in that roundabout. "Look, everyone's trauma is different, and if I can avoid giving anyone any nasty surprises, I will. The fact that they're dealing with it in real life is an even better argument for keeping it out of their entertainment."

sorry for the delay...con crunch season

"Fair 'nuff," Lena concedes easily, equally disinterested in continuing the train of thought. Trauma wasn't exactly an interesting or entertaining subject, especially not in light of recent events, which she is purposefully ignoring in an entirely healthy manner. "Curious, is all. You got a favorite you haven't shown yet?"
