Nothing like a day at the movies

[eat_me_beat_me]

Who: Nora and ANYONE
What: Start of the movie theatre lock-in loss.
When: Saturday 3/16
Where: The movie theatre
Rating: Oh let's say R for language

Cramped seats, popcorn dripping with butter, sticky floors and drinks that never seem to last through the whole flick. There really is nothing like going to the movies.

Word had spread through the week since Nora had issued her blanket invitation to the castle and the day had finally come for a movie marathon at the theatre. The popcorn was hot and the projector was ready. All that remained was for everyone to show up and pick a movie

((OOC: Before the movies, during the movies, Midnight. Feel free to put up your own sections. Threadjacking encouraged!!))

MIDNIGHT

[Uh oh. Guys that door isn't opening. What now?]

[hard_talker]

Mark had had to pee since halfway through the last movie. Maybe spiking his soda was a baaaad idea. He hops up from his seat as the credits start to roll - figuring that he'll be back before they're done to catch whatever easter-eggy thing they put afterwards - and quick-walks to the door in the universally known stride of Guy Who Has To Pee But Is Trying To Be Cool About It.

And then the door won't open.

He pulls again, a little harder. Nnnnnothing. Dread starts dripping down the back of his neck like ice w-- wait no no water metaphors, that is not going to help him any.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Guys."

[squirrelhunter]

Daryl has a spot at the back, and stands up as Mark tries the door to no avail.

He walks over, frowning. "Let me try."

[eat_me_beat_me]

Nora's not far behind, looking very concerned. This wasn't part of the plan guys. Going back to their room was part of the plan.

"Hey, what's going on?"

[hard_talker]

"Can't get the damn door open," Mark mutters, getting out of the way so that Daryl can try.

He's trying to keep his voice low so that they don't have a massive theatre panic on their hands.

[schrodingersghost]

The door wasn't opening? No problem. Danny slowly sidles down the wall a little until he finds a nice quiet area. He does one more quick check to make sure no one was watching him at the moment, the tries to phase through the wall. He could just open the doors from the outside or something.

But nothing happens. He puts a little more effort into it, but the walls remain perfectly solid. With a glare at the wall he backs up a few steps and takes a running start at the wall.

And then yelps in pain as he rebounds off the wall and crashes onto the floor. This so wasn't fair.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Nora watches this with a strange look on her face. What... did she just see?

"Uuuuuuuh, Danny?" How to put this tactfully? "Why the fuck did you just run into the wall?" Yeah that works.

[schrodingersghost]

"Um, sudden urge to conduct a science experiment on how solid walls are?"

He smiles hopefully at her. That was just enough of the truth that he could get away with saying it. He hoped that was enough.

[eat_me_beat_me]

She keeps staring at him. And you seemed so normal, too.

"yeeeaaah not buying it, hot shot. Do you know something we don't?"

[patching_up]

As he finally manages himself down from his seat, 5 sees the human who had been kind enough to help him out while they were still getting situated-- or, more specifically, he sees him collapsed on the ground. With a slight gasp of concern, he skitters over to offer the fallen Danny some help. He tries, anyway. It's more just him running over to voice his concern, but hey, you can't blame the little guy for trying.

"A-are you okay? What happened?"

[schrodingersghost]

Danny was a little embarrassed at how badly his idea had failed. Also, it would really be nice if he could lie right now.

"Nothing much? I just ran into the wall."

[panicswitched]

Ashley's first idea that something isn't going well is the fact that the door won't open. She watches everyone else for a moment before sliding to one of the walls. Not really in the mood to care who sees her and who doesn't, she eyes the wall like it's going to bite her, takes a deep breath, and tries to teleport through it to her room.

Except halfway through her de-materialization -- which is a lovely show of red for anyone watching -- she feels something yank her back. Denied her teleportation attempt, she stumbles, re-materializing right where she started.

"What the hell?"

A second attempt yields much the same, along with a growing headache, and by the time she gives up trying, she's grumbly and sulky. That loud crashing sound echoing through the area is a chair getting chucked at the least crowded door she can find in what she'll say is an attempt to break it, but what may as well be an Ashley Magnus tantrum. By this point, she's not even trying to hide what she's doing and anyone could easily see her throw that chair.

[unnaturalpause]

The door not opening is a surprise, that flash of red however? Is not. It's enough of an attempt however for him to move towards her and then sigh at her second attempt and then he's cringing at her tantrum.

Which is enough to get a shout from him, honestly young lady..."Ashley!" It's more a command then he's given her in a long time.

[panicswitched]

It's been a long time since she's been reprimanded, especially like this, and that just serves to make her more sulky as she glares between James and the door. "I was trying to get it to open," she grumbled in response, giving the bottom of the door a swift nudge with her foot. "I can't get out of here." And that's weird enough for her to be tempted to bring out the talons to see if they can cut through the door.

[both_neither]

Gren is not sure getting locked in calls for this kind of reaction. Yeah, the castle isn't the best place to be stuck for a long period of time, but property damage doesn't seem the best way to handle it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...calm down..." he says a little alarmed but not at all hiding the smirk on his face. It's not that this is funny, because it's not. It's because he's had a few drinks and gives less fucks than usual about things. "If you throw all the chairs we'll have nowhere to sit."

[panicswitched]

"It was one chair. One. Chair." She's remarkably calm about this, though she looks annoyed at it all. "And I was just checking to see if throwing it would bust the doors open." Unfortunately it hadn't really worked, though she was tempted to use a talon to see if that would.

[onlyanapple]

This is why Crowley doesn't go to nice places any more. He gives the door a look, waving his hand at it in a complicated gesture. When that wields no results, he tries that microscopic shapeshfting deal, vanishing for a moment, before reforming again.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me."

[eat_me_beat_me]

Nora cringes as she watches Crowley work his magic... Or try to. Oh this is just getting better..

"Don't tell me that you can't even do anything!"

[onlyanapple]

The demon snaps his fingers, in a last ditch attempt to make the door stop existing, before groaning.

"No," he replies. "Bollocks I can't be stuck in here, I have shit I need to do."

[cyan_maid]

What was everyone doing around the door? The movement and the commotion had distracted Jane from the current movie, and she got to to venture closer.

"Is something wrong?"

[solowingpixy]

Pixy was busy scowling at the door until he heard Jane speak up nearby, making him look over his shoulder at her. He let out a sigh and shook his head, pointing at the door.

"Door's not opening. Starting to seem like we're stuck in this place."

[cyan_maid]

"Really?" Her eyebrows shoot up, and she comes closer. "Is there a lock? Maybe somebody could pick it." Not that she had any experience in that, but she'd read about plenty of detectives who had picked locks.

[solowingpixy]

He watched the various attempts of the others in the theater to get the door open and could only give a frown. He got up and walked over to the door to give it a shot for himself, even though he had a bad feeling about this. Move aside, kids, military mercenary comin' through.

Pixy'll put a hand on the door for a moment and give it a light shove, but then took a step back and gave it a hard kick. And when that didn't work, he rammed his shoulder into it.

He bounced off and stumbled back, scowling at the door before he ran a hand through his hair.

"Really? You've got to be kidding me."

[luxe_can_kill]

What's wrong? [Mitsuru got out of the seat to stretch her legs a bit, and get more drinks. She's got Eagle-kun on her arm. She thought she could take it with her instead of leaving it on the seat. The chance of someone stealing it is really low, but better safe than sorry. Plus, she grew fond of it]

[solowingpixy]

[Pixy glanced over his shoulder, keeping a bit of a smirk to himself when he saw Mitsuru carrying that little plush F-15 with her. It was kind of amusing seeing a woman like her carrying that little thing.

But he'll sigh and look back at the door.]

Door's not opening, even after several attempts on it.

[He looks back at her.]

You've got that 'persona' thing, right? Seeing that you were able to break down my door with it, I'd say give it a try here.
