Who: Alexander, Anthony, Bakura, Banagher, Hajime, John, Lyall, Ravindra, Reilanin & Vanessa
Where: Alex & Ravi's apartment
When: Friday, Sept. 13th (ooooh)
What: Movie night!
Warnings: --

[ and so it happened that tonight was a movie night slightly different from the one alex, anthony, john (and ravindra, when he wanted to be included) had grown accustomed to -- namely, the volume of bodies had doubled, plus two. the cats were split in opinion; adhirat sought shelter in ravi's room, while olivia got cozy with anyone who'd give her the time of day and gomez poked around and occasionally darted off.

the more the merrier -- for anthony's sake, partially, as holing up in an apartment couldn't have been very fun (thought alex) while his peers enjoyed (or enjoyed to hate) school. bakura was a friend of his, so alex was more than happy to have him over. lyall could always use a break. hajime had been an invaluable asset at the water bust and seemed like a swell guy. john was an 'of course'; a founding member of movie night and someone alex got along with splendidly. vanessa, well.

vanessa could do with the company of good people. she seemed to get along with banagher fine, too, and alex was fond of both of them.

as for reilanin, he was basically continuing to offer the branch of friendship, or something like it. he'd actually been surprised when she accepted the invitation. as a librarian, she was probably familiar with the movie they'd be watching tonight.

twilight (or the save the earth equivalent of). ]

[ ooc: more or less a mingle log! throw up your own threads, go hog wild, yeah!
here's the apartment layout for reference. they're on the second floor! ]

Just once, I think. So stuff you haven't figured out, huh? Maybe do a small series of trials? Poke at a stereotypical vampire weakness just a small bit to see if it hurts? So you wouldn't be caught by surprise.

You aren't helping to teach him manners,

[Is Lyall's comment to the whole affair, sipping at the drink he'd already poured himself.]

But he's right, too. You should test it. I tested garlic, myself, with Hajime, before the whole werewolf thing was obvious.

-- Have you tried - crosses? -- Yet? [Anthony fixes his look over a tad more directly, eyes somewhat widened - in curiosity and these probably being excellent concerns indeed. Avoids moving forward - given that he keeps one with him it seems prudent to simply ask.]

[ he sucks in a breath, making an odd, but thoughtful, face. ]

Nnno crosses, not yet. The sun hasn't lit me up like MJ's hair, so I'm safe on that front for now.

[ he leans back against the island separating the kitchen and the living room, palm on the flat of the seat. ]

I dunno what else is supposed to be bad for vampires. I can still enter houses fine.

[ that would be a problem if he couldn't, given his job as a paramedic. ]

But anyway, I, uh, I just wanted to let you guys know since you're, you know, in a confined area with a... yeah. [ straightening ] So if you wanna leave, that's okay!

[All right, that one surprises Lyall. He raises his brows at Alex.]

Don't be ridiculous, Alex. What kind of hypocrites do you think we are?

[After all: werewolf, bug warrior man, spirit-snake summoner, potential other werewolf, and undead of some persuasion. And that's just the half of people here he knows.]

I daresay you're in perfectly good company, Alexander.

[ a little on the dry side. she nudges the cat at her side and gets a chirrup and stretch in response ]

[ he feels something like chastisement from the combined powers of lyall's remark and reilanin's look. wow, how do you guys do that??

he's just... gonna conveniently not mention that him trying to attack ravi was something that happened. he certainly doesn't want that out there, but that's why he felt the need to be honest (partially, anyway).

also the blood in the fridge. ]

Right... Well, okay, then, just... didn't want any freaking out.

[ a brief pause as she looks at him, and her expression shifts. it's all very subtle, but it seems almost like a softening, remembering something ]

...don't be too concerned. It seems you've considered everything.

Long as you're not about to start sparkling and staring at us while we sleep, I think we're all good.

[ WINCE ]

God, I hope not. I'd have to move to Washington or somewhere equally as grey and rainy and depress--

[ wham bam thank you for that echo ma'am ]

... ing.

[ he sighs, drops his head, pinches the bridge of his nose, then looks up again. ]

I got another one.

[ can you hear the amusement in his voice. ]

[Ravi is mostly keeping quiet because this is way too many people that he doesn't know in one place, but he is listening.]

What, about living in Washington? [that is very dry, he is obviously not serious]
