[OPEN] An OTA for any post-mission threads! And Movie Night.

CHARACTERS: The crew!
LOCATION: The Mess Hall
DATE: After the mission / Movie Night, the day after the mission!
CONTENT: Feel free to use this log as somewhere to play out closed starters or what-have-you for any post-mission needs! There is also a movie night (sorta) in which the crew can contribute to it, as Newton is going to be out sick for this one.
WARNINGS: Nothing severe! But mark your comments if needed.

Upon returning from the mission, things need to take a real breather, huh? Not only have some of their folks returned home recently, but the witnessing of two crews getting gobbled up by pissed off dragons is also a thing. Not that a lot of the crew would probably contest the outcome wasn't somewhat deserved — caging living creatures to steal away from their families would definitely fall under 'stupid games, stupid prizes' that Americans love to say. Or whoever invented that (it was definitely not Tom Clancy, despite what some people say).

Anyway, everyone's back to mingling into the station, tired and victorious and maybe a little put-out by the overall murder and maiming. Business as usual, right?

So, Newt does what he usually does! Attempt to set up the mess hall for another typical movie night.

Only, he has fallen actually sick.

So the movie night is gonna have to rely solely on the crew, this go-around.

Upon entering the mess hall, many will find the usual things half-heartedly strewn about: the movie projector with the DVD player, sitting unused on one of the tables. The white cloth used to project on, half-hung and abandoned, looking like the world's worst sheet ghost on Halloween. Stacked dinner and snack plates with nothing on them are still in the kitchen, not yet moved around. In fact, the only thing that seems to have been fully supplied is a pile of pillows and blankets on the floor and one bag of 5 lbs., unopened sour patch kids on a chair.

Newt, it seems, has been put down for the day with his pirate-world-flu. Pirate Flu?

(It's not scurvy.)

Anyone stopping in will have to fend for themselves and provide any movies, music, food or additional goodies for this movie night, while Newton Geiszler is forced into bedrest by Chishiya and Yujin (who have the patience of saints in this situation).

Leave a comment HERE to let us know, so people can include the goods in any top levels.

You need a lot more than that!

And if you're stubborn about it, [ He balls a fist, THREATENINGLY!! ] I'll make sure you sleep for a good long time.

You think either of those things are going to stop me?

If knocking you out is tactically best for your health and proper recovery, then of course I'm going to go that route!

Now get your ass back into bed and if you need something, ask someone!

What — you mean your party?

[ There's a pause after he asks that. It's half done ... not quite yet even at a point where they can just go forward with the movie night sleepover party birthday whatever else celebration that's been a staple from Newton since he first arrived. Something people have come to expect even if, like Yzak, they roll their eyes and pretend they're not as interested in but still end up making an appearance and even enjoying themselves.

Something that'll feel like a void if it doesn't happen. ]


Yes, it'll get done in time. I'll make sure of that myself if it means keeping you in bed!

[ Clearly the only reason. Nothing sentimental. ]
