[OPEN] Movie night, and again, movie night!
CHARACTERS: Everyone! Mingle!
LOCATION: The Mess Hall
DATE: After the mission, somewhere in the tail-end of November.
CONTENT: A movie night! Typical business, enjoy relaxing.
WARNINGS: None! But feel free to add them if you need to, to your threads.
This isn't much of a 'Thanksgiving' celebration. In fact, the only thing that really seems to constitute 'thanksgiving' is the pie and wine that is available — everything else, not so much. This month, the mess hall is arranged with the usual sort of system: a table for food and drinks, a table for Activities (tm), and a comfortable, blanket and pillow-fueled space where movies are projected on a sheet — because what better way to watch a movie than to rig up someone's old sheets?
The options for food had been, once again, stolen from the old 'survey' Newt had posted months beforehand, so some of you may find your favorite foods here. Firstly, and most importantly, there are pies. Pies of many assortments, as far as the ol' eye can see (exaggerations may apply). Alongside it, a mishmash of cultures — szechuan-themed noodles, onion gratin soup, black beans and rice... though most oddly, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
What? Someone had them on their favorite foods list. Sometimes we love a good outcast.
The other desert of choice to top off the night: white chocolate. Yzak's favorite, of course, and served in a few ways.
But drinks! Drinks are important, too, and you tea-lovers are in for a treat: a section solely dedicated to tea leaves. That's right, a Tea Bar, with all the mixtures to steep to your heart's content! Jasmine tea, seiros tea, your basic sweet teas and even more casual green teas — it's all here, served right next to the wine and champagne, in case you feel like getting a little — as the kid's these days don't say anymore — turnt.
Also yes, the glowy weird 'please only cybertronians consume this' Energon is there as well.
The activities this time are less involved, mostly because they come from boxes that merely have to be opened up to be enjoyed. A stack straight out of Walmart's kid science section, just for the crew of the Ximilia to enjoy. If you're thinking 'wow, this has Newton written all over it', you'd be very correct: geode breaking kits, fossil digging kits, rocket and gundam-building kits — you name it, it's there, straight from his childhood years and into your hearts.
The best selection is, obviously, the kit that makes gummy candy bugs.
Mmmm. Bug-shaped food.
And per usual, movie options are selected, and play in the following order through the night: Moana, Lord of the Rings (the first movie only, sorry, we're cutting you off at movie one), and Honey I Shrunk the Kids!
... And, when the night is at its end, another movie is snuck on when people are falling asleep or scattering to their rooms:
Oh dear.
Happy holidays, or something!

[As for Sauron, or Saruman, or whatever the hell his name is, Dante shrugs.]
Doesn't the guy have a lot of minions? They're [give him a second while he counts them out on his hand] nine people. Might be they've got a couple tricks up their sleeves and all, but I don't see them surviving a fight against an army.

[And crows are pretty nasty even when they're not undead.]
If they were able to sneak up on him, wouldn't that work? Even if he is a giant eye, they could distract him.

[He pauses, thinking this over.]
If you're a giant eyeball, you can't really do anything but see. Sure, they could distract him, but if he's such a huge terrifying dark lord, he's got security measures in place, right? Maybe elite guards around the tower, maybe traps, maybe some dark magic meant to confuse the intrepid hero who thinks they can kill him.
And even if they can sneak up on him, where would you stab him? We don't even know if that's a real eyeball.
