[ Eugene has some news for the citizens at large and it's very odd news to share. ]

Small update on the whole 'ending up back at the info booth if you try to leave the boundaries of town' thing.

Uh...there is no info booth. For starters. Jerry now works in the hotel at the front desk.

Aaaalso...there are guards patrolling the walls of Driftcrest? Did we have guards anywhere else? I don't think we did.

[ Does he sound nervous? Almost on the edge of a panic attack? Yes. This is familiar. It's uncomfortable. ]

I-I've never seen guards armed with incendiary weaponry before. I will say this much; they don't seem so keen on watching people inside the walls so much as they're...really interested in keeping their eyes on beyond?

If that makes sense? And they really want people inside at sunset. So that's like...really worrying.

[ Tandy almost feels bad at first but things are different here. There are certain people who aren't here and certain people who are. Like Eugene who has been nothing but sweet to her. Sweet and oddly charming in his own way.

Plus he sounds so happy and she kind of wants a piece of that. She likes feeling good around him. ]

That's what I said, right? Also, I swear it has nothing to do with seeing you shirtless.

[ She also can't resist teasing him at times. ]

But yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea. Do any of the movies look interesting to you? I don't mind letting you pick this time.

[he_who_dwells]

I...will never live that down. Ever.

[ He's still very embarrassed about that whole thing, Tandy. But he's grinning just a bit. ]

Uh...they have a bunch of really old movies. Like...from the early 80's? THere's a fantasy film set. Willow. Dark Crystal. Labyrinth. And there's an 80's horror set. Nightmare before Christmas, Friday the Thirteenth and Troll.

[crazy_white_girl]

Nope, probably not.

[ Can he hear the cheeky smile? ]

I'm leaning more towards the fantasy set if you're good with that?

[he_who_dwells]

Oh, thank God. I thought I'd have to pretend horror films don't scare me.
[ They actually don't, but at this point he's flirting just a bit by making fun of himself. ]

Okay. Fantasy it is. It starts at twelve-thirty and ends sometime around six-fifteen. We can walk around a bit after to see if we notice anything. How's that sound?

[crazy_white_girl]

[ Which totally works because she will flirt back a little. ]

It's okay, I could have held your hand through the scary parts.

But the fantasy idea sounds a lot better. I'll meet you there at about twelve, it'll give us time to get snacks and find some good seats?

[he_who_dwells]

You're just to good to me.

That sounds like a plan. I'll buy our tickets so we have seats.

[crazy_white_girl]

Perfect, I'll meet you there.
