Movie Night IV: Movie Harder

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.

"Hm, good question. I think the ear plugs are pretty good, if you've been listening to me in Russian this whole time and still gotten my jokes."

Or... he could've not got any of Robbie's jokes. It's hard to say, now that he's thinking about it. Victor is the sunny kind of person who laughs all the time, anyway. "How do you know they're going to have the English version? It's probably Interlac."

"Good point." Victor rubs his chin. "I assumed that, since Wash was seeking out old movies, they'd be in their original language. But this movie is a thousand years old; if it's not a remake, it's probably been dubbed over for an Interlac-speaking audience. Have previous movies been dubbed over?"

"I don't know," he said without pausing to think too much about it. "I didn't try taking my earplugs out. I usually just leave 'em in. It's easier that way. I barely understand hello in Interlac, and there's so many important phrases like "Watch out!", "Fire!" or "Emergency Oxygen Production Stop Button".
