Issue 1 Downtime

At the agreed time, Steve approached Mars' door. He wasn't dressed up, though he did comb his hair and make his breath all fresh and all that junk. He tucked in his shirt at the last minute before knocking.

Be cool Steve. Cooool.

Mars opened the door, dressed in a simple long skirt and long sleeved shirt combo. She smiles at Steve.

"Hey, right on time," Mars says happily, "Come on in."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:18 pm**

He caught himself staring as he entered.

"Wow... you look... n-nice..."

Well that wasn't awkward at all.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:21 pm**

"Thanks," Mars says, laughing, "You don't look too bad either."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:33 pm**

He smiled. "I feel... kinda under-dressed now," he chuckled.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:44 pm**

"You're fine," Mars says, "It's just a movie. Don't be so nervous."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:10 pm**

He calmed himself. "Right. Umm.. shall we then?"

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:22 pm**

"Sure," Mars says, walking over to the couch, "I think that the TV is all set up. I haven't really watched anything on it yet."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:27 pm**

"A good movie to break it in with then," he grinned as he opened the case, the pause.

"Crud... is your player DVD or Blu-Ray?"

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:49 pm**

"I have no idea," Mars says, "It came with the room."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:06 pm**

He looked closer and breathed out. "Good, I grabbed the right disc," he said, putting it in.

"Do you want me to run down to the common room for drinks or anything?"

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:10 pm**

Mars laughs, "I grabbed some snacks earlier, don't worry about it."

"I have cola or root beer if you want a drink," Mars says, "Plus, popcorn."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:30 pm**

"Glad one of us was on the ball," he said, only slightly embarrassed. "Popcorn and root beer would be awesome."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:35 pm**

Mars grabs two root beers and the bowl of popcorn and sets them in front of the couch.

"So, what's this about?" Mars asks.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:46 pm**

"This guy discovers he is some kind of mystical warrior called a Jedi. Telekinesis, telepathy, and a nifty laser sword. There is an evil empire and a rebellion. Space battles and sword fights and other cool stuff."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:48 pm**

"Sounds pretty nifty," Mars says, curling up on the couch.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:52 pm**

The intro scrawl begins.

"Episode 4 was made first," he explained preemptively, "Kinda weird huh?"

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:57 pm**

"So, it's in media res," Mars asks, "That's pretty cool."

As the move started playing, Mars subtly moved a little closer to Steve. Not really snuggling up, but just getting a bit closer.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:01 pm**

"Well, one two and three were made much more recently and only really serve as extra backstory. They aren't as good either."

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:05 pm**

"Why not?" Mars asks.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 9:37 am**

He shrugged, "I dunno. They just aren't. Bad writing or something maybe."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 11:01 am**

"Oh, well, that sucks."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 1:37 pm**

"I understand the internet was very sad," he joked.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 1:53 pm**

"Why?" Mars asks, "I mean, it's just a movie."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 2:31 pm**

"The internet is weird."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 3:08 pm**

"I wouldn't know," Mars says, "We didn't really have much in the way of the internet back home."

"...My dad is kind of old-fashioned."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 3:09 pm**

"Seriously? Suuuck."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 3:24 pm**

"It's not that bad," Mars says, "What does the internet have anyway? A ton of cat pictures?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 3:31 pm**

"And music and movies. Granted some of those are also about cats."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 3:36 pm**

Mars shrugs, "I don't know. It just seems really, really unnecessary, I guess."

"Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned too," Mars says, smiling at Steve.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 6:56 pm**

"Old-fashioned can be nice," he smiled back.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 6:58 pm**

"Glad you think so."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:09 pm**

Enter Darth Vader. Steve didn't notice.

"Not much of that back home. Dad's a total gadget geek."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:14 pm**

"What about you?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:28 pm**

"More into sports."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:29 pm**

"What sort of sports?" Mars asks.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:38 pm**

"Football mostly," he said, trying not to give away his bitter disappointment over that particular crushed dream.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:39 pm**

Mars frowns, "What's wrong?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:23 pm**

"No football teams for mutants..."

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:30 pm**

"Really?" Mars says, "Oh. Well, that just sucks."
