Catalina opened the theater door, it would fit maybe 50 people at the most but the seats looked comfortable and there was a popcorn machine off to one side, the projector being the kind you'd find in an actual theater, there was a stack of DVDs beside it.
"You pick the movie!" said Catalina, her beer nearly half empty.
"Uh, alright." There was an impressive collection of movie reals on a bookshelf. He perused it and couldn't not find a single movie. "They must have everything! Damn, uh, how about Shallow Hal?"
Catalina grimaced, she had seen it before and she couldn't stand how sappy it was, she chugged the rest of her beer, "Sure, but just let me get something a LOT stronger!"
"Well if you don't like it we can find something else! It was one of the first things I saw that I wasn't looking for. So what kind of movie do you want to see, anyway? Hard to decide out of ten thousand movies here."
Catalina shrugged, "Pick something! I'm going to get another drink!"
Catalina walked outside, slightly buzzed, another two or three beers and she'd be legally drunk, she approached the bartender, "Could I get a Long Island iced tea please?"
The bartender raised an eyebrow and made it for her.
"The Godfather Trilogy! Wait, she's a girl. Would she like the Godfather? Damn, and I haven't seen it in ages. What else we got here?" Chaz continued to move down the line. "Starwars... ah, here's one! One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Better as a book, but the movie is great, too." He started tapping his foot impatiently. "When is she gonna get back? Hell, I don't even know if she'll like any of these."
"Course they do! Frankly I didn't think you'd want to watch it, much less suggest it." Chaz looked around the room and found a button beside a door that read;
Code:
"Push for projector sevice."
He pressed it, and a moth man opened up a slit in the door just wide enough for a movie reel. The frames weren't actually inside of the reels Chaz was holding, they were just for show. The actual movie reels were in a warehouse behind the door.
"Uh, can we watch the Godfather trilogy?" He slipped in the empty cylinders and stood back.
"Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yea--." The moth slammed the slit shut and they could hear him walk off.
Catalina grabbed a seat in the exact center of the "theater", she took another sip and relaxed back into her seat, "man, this is going to be awesome! I haven't seen the Godfather in a while!"
So how do you want to do this? Fade through the entire movie, or fade in at certain lines ever-once-in-a-while to say something?
"Yeah, the last time I saw it was... once when I was eight, I think. Looking forward to seeing this again." Chaz sat in the seat to the left of Catalina and had a bucket of buttered popcorn.
Jeffery sat there in silence reading through his spell book for what he would describe as the 'thousandth time' occasionally taking sips of his scotch the alcohol loosening him up somewhat he started to get bored with the book and started walking around the inner deck of the zeppelin trying to find something interesting.
He walked past the open theater, thinking he could watch one of his favorite batman movies but seeing the incubi and the cat in there, decided against it he continued walking down the corridors and saw another door leading into what looked like an average sized arcade the only light being the sunlight coming in from the windows on the far side of the room, he stepped inside and walked through the rows of machines some of them classic and some of them new, he finally settled on a old space invaders machine and switched it on, playing with an unusual amount of skill the faint glow of the screen contrasting sharply with the room's darkness.
Catalina finished her drink and she was in the grey area between buzzed and drunk, she grabbed another fistful of popcorn and made a little a mariachi band to occupy her, "Everything okay?"
"Nothing, nothing! This is, uh, the first time I've been to a real movie theater, or one so close. The only one I've been in is the one my parents had."
He blushed visibly. "Uh, well, uh, Cubi live really long, so, uh, my parents had a lot of money, so, we had a big house with one way windows so we could be alone and be ourselves without having to worry about being seen by Humans. We had pretty much everything anyone could ever-ever want. E-except friends." He spoke the last part under his breath.
