During the Drive Thru Liminal

[whydoyoushine]

[Did you want one of those Liminal movies sensory livestreamed directly into your brain, Travelers? Of course you did! Because that's just what's happening now. The Jaunt in question? Children of the Night. Zed's just going to offer a neverending stream of commentary--it's like when you go to the theater and some asshole thinks everyone in there needs his annoying commentary that he thinks is witty. (Spoilers: none of this commentary is witty. None of it. At least it's nearing the end of the movie, and there Zed's overlay goes making off with enough money to thoroughly destabilize Sarmartia's economy.

Zed's absolutely cackling now.]

Oh, man, the dramatization there, I tell you, my overlay was way calmer about it whenever he was bailing there, yeah. Good times, huh? Good times...

Preacher says there's a special level of hell for people who talk in the theatre. Not sure if he meant live or movie though.

[sumofallreds]

I swear I would huck something at you if I could. Popcorn, a boot, a spray of bullets. SOMETHING.

[whydoyoushine]

What, like I'm not ending up there anyway?

[whydoyoushine]

You'd have to find me first.

[Funny thing about the vantage point he's watching the movie from--it's probably entirely possible to figure out where he's sitting.]

[dino_zarf]

The special one, Zed.

[sumofallreds]

Keep laughin' like that and you'll just make it easier.

[whydoyoushine]

There's not already a special one for having tried to cover a world in darkness before?

You mean I get two special ones?

[whydoyoushine]

What, it's a movie theater. It's dark.

[And one darker spot out there will make him even easier to spot out there, good job, Zed.]

[sumofallreds]

Well aside from your voice just bouncing around in the right way for me to tell, you're not exactly hidden very well.

[whydoyoushine]

What? I'm not worried.

[Gonna just...deploy Mr. Sparkles using an Adversary's Spirit Animal powers to do that whole doppelganger thing. Now there are two Zeds out and about around the beds.]

[sumofallreds]

Is that a fact?

[Marvelous rolls his eyes. The movie was bad....enough.

Oh-ho...that might be a better tactic...]

Then again...why do i care? It's not like this movie's showy in the slightest.

[lunchleader]

Still a jerk, though.

[Oh, look, actual sounds of noshing on popcorn coming thru on his end of the Network.]

[lunchleader]

I vote boot.

throwing food is a waste, and he hasn't been really evil in ages.

[whydoyoushine]

Wait for the eighties. That was a spectacle.

[whydoyoushine]

Oh, come on, he just knew how to take care of business.

And himself.

[He's more mock-offended than actual-offended.]

[sumofallreds]

Huh? Evil?

[He just thought he was a jackass.]

[whydoyoushine]

[There's popcorn being tossed up at the screen just because Zed can.]

[whydoyoushine]

It's such a strong word, I'm sure he doesn't want to hear about that.

[sumofallreds]

We'll see. Maybe I'll pull out a pillow just in case.

[lunchleader]

It's not good business if he doesn't at least take care of those who work with him. Or for him.

[whydoyoushine]

You'd have to manage to hit me first, anyway.

[whydoyoushine]

Honestly, I think that's why he didn't take more.

[sumofallreds]

Not for you. For me. Any less entertainment and I might go to sleep.

[lunchleader]

Yeah, he used to be the Emperor of Darkness back home - the Big Bad Evil Guy who took over our hometown and such. Then we kicked his ass and got our hometown back, and he hasn't been that evil in ages.

[A pause]

Well...not as himself...

[sumofallreds]

[He has to think about that one for a second.]

The guy utterly obsessed with sparkly stuff? Gai might've mentioned that...
