If you were planning a movie night what essential snacks would you have?

Only the big fun ones will be considered.

What important movies have to be seen? Thinking mostly scary movies!

Winning suggestions might be used. Prizes offered. (Maybe)

Hm… Been to more plays than movies. Back in the last world I was, I usually had pizza when they held a movie night? In my world I’d usually get pretzels or a bag of peanuts if I was going to a show of some kind.

[soulsword]

Pizza and pretzels might be decent. Peanuts sound boring. Unless

You coat them with something

[gadaboutdetective]

Mm… I suppose that’s true. In my world, they were usually just salted… But I have seen them seasoned since then, so I suppose you could look at that option if you go with it. But! I’m glad that my suggestions weren’t terrible. Sounds like a fun idea, though. I knew there was some kind of theater here, though I haven’t been to it myself.

[soulsword]

Salted is too boring for a movie night. It has to be special.

They could have been worse suggestions.

Maybe I'll invite you. Or everyone could come for a big night of it.

[gadaboutdetective]

Does it? Is there an occasion that makes it so, or a reason for that?

Well, thank you for the potential invitation, then. I always meant to see more movies, really… People might enjoy something like that, might be nice to see everyone get together again.

[soulsword]

It's for a friend. To make them see that movies can be fun. So everything has to be the best it can.

Why haven't you seen them?

[gadaboutdetective]

I see! Well, then if I think of any other particularly good treats, I shall let you know.

Ah, well… Movies are fairly limited in the time I come from. In the last world, they had a movie night during one of their celebrations, but I was sent here before one of my friends had the chance to introduce me to a wider variety.

Generally, my students expect popcorn, but I suppose that’s pretty standard for a movie night. Otherwise they might request jelly babies, and sometimes crisps or my sister might bring a box of chocolates to share…

I suppose it nearly is that time of year for scary films. Do you have any guidelines for suggestions beyond that?

[soulsword]

Jelly babies mixed with popcorn. Maybe with chocolate. Got it.

Nothing too serious. Only the fun kind.

[ask_whydunit]

Yes, I’ve seen at least one of mine mix it all together. Apparently it tastes better that way, or something.

Hmm… The definition of ‘the fun kind’ tends to vary depending on the person.

[soulsword]

It does! Makes it more exciting too. You never know what you'll grab.

Whats the fun kind to you then?

Do you do fun?

[ask_whydunit]

I suppose if you like the surprise.

… What the hell kind of question is that? Of course, ‘I do fun.’ I have hobbies like anyone else does.

[ Oh. Right. Movies. He does need to think about that for a moment. ]

Horror films aren’t generally my go to for movie nights, though. I think the last one I saw was The Ring when my students picked it.

[soulsword]

Maybe I do.

Of course. What hobbies are those?

[ She likes being the one doing the surprises, not receiving them. ]

I think I've seen that one. Little girl out of a well?

Popcorn definitely but you have to have m&ms to put in the popcorn.

I'm not sure about what movies, though. I'm not a huge movie buff.

[soulsword]

Oh! Exactly. I was trying to explain that you have to mix things. It's part of the experience.

I was better before I died and came back. Complicates things.

[happydeath]

Definitely is!

You died... and came back? That makes me curious I have to admit.

[soulsword]

He's going to get the full experience. Mixing everything.

Both back home and here. Only died once here though and I made sure they paid.

[happydeath]

As it should be!

How did you come back?

[soulsword]

An evil sorcerer deluded himself into thinking he loved me. So he resurrected me. He sucked at it though so I didn't have my soul.

popcorn or nachos

do you like monster movies or something else?

[soulsword]

What about nacho popcorn?

Monster movies would be fun I think.

[stealerofhearts]

you mean popcorn with nacho cheese?
Yeah, I think that would work

There was a movie playing once called Death Kappa
Classic cult film

[soulsword]

Of course what else would I have meant?

What's the plot of death kappa?

[stealerofhearts]

I don't know
I want some now, though

A group of scientists try to genetically engineer amphibious super soldiers and attract the attention of an actual kappa
There's lots of action and some ridiculous deaths
It's good fun

[soulsword]

If you try it let me know how it is

I'll add that to the list. Sounds hilarious
