Welcome to Gaia! ::

While the facility certainly lacked modern luxurious things like TV, videogames, and ESPN, it had a gym. So for a time, the moon hunter had taken a fixation to working out, getting back into the flow of things. But even he knw days of just hour long works outs were just that, hour long. So when he'd gone to the Library and pulled a few things from the shelves only to find historical classics all horror? Marcus's heavy sigh wrecked the silence of the place. Dracula and various spin-offs, same with Frankenstein Monster, In fact, Marcus was sure he saw a copy of twilight in one trainee's stack. Vampires alone had a whole book case. So did werewolves, (He made a disapproving face at the few romance books snuck in. Who in their right mind wanted to have a romance with one of those abominations? Dis however kept poking him in the direction of what he said was a really good book. Picking it up and reading the plot summary Gay vampire lover. Yup, That book was forever never going to be read by the moon hunter).

The library was in that silent hum of trainees studying, when Marcus heard it. The squeal. It was-
DAT a**.
Cassandra. The one girl he knew to make such a sound. Getting up and seeking her out, Marcus found her hidden away and could help it. Leaning onto the wall he put an effort into looking good.
Adjust your package. Make it look bigger.
Shut it.

"Hey Cass."
Ask her if she has read any of the smut novels yet.
"Have you read- what no. God damn it Dis."
My favorite is the one where where the guy gets turned into a vampire while they-

Marcus tuned Dis out at and just looked at Cass. Face red.

Was that- Could it have been. "Cassandra." Marcus's eyes zerod in on her discovery. It was a godsend. How had they missed these beautiful object of modern technology? Okay, not the most modern but god damn things that didn't involve mindless repetitions and hours of reading old dated novels so filled with nonsensical dated bullshit he wanted to stab something, (Really? The butler? The whole time? Come on where was the originality in that?).

Taking the objects from his semi-girl friend's hand, the moon hunter grinned. "You found these?"
You sound amazed.
I am
....I'll be impressed with they get naked before something eats them.

"s**t Cass, DVDs, reels, god this is just. You don't think they might have any Noir films? You don't see a projector do you? DVD player? Maybe we have to check hem out. I-" He stopped.

Marcus. Are you thinking what I know you're thinking?
Dis answer that yourself.
Then why the ******** are you not asking her?

"Movie Night." Marcus's voice was deadpan. "We should have one. Just you me, and the movies."

Marcus was beyond thrilled. Heck, he might even go so far as to say he jazzed up. And saying he was jazzed up was lame to many, but for him it worked. The island lacked in modern 'non efficient' time wasters in many ways, (no angry bird games on an iPhone), but movies were timeless, ageless things. Even if you memorized every line, one good movie could prove infinity more relaxing than just laying in bed asleep. Besides, sleeping his life away was just so...not him. Marcus had to be doing something, even if that something still waste really not the best use of his life.

As Cass moved, showing him the vast collection the Facility held in it's library, Marcus grinned. As he thrumbed through the titles, he was already picking out his favorites. Dis asking him occasionally what made this movie or that movie better then the other. All the weapon considered was that people died.
It's not that they die, it's how they die. When they die.

So? Everybody dies, it's not like it's something new.
Look, a movie is sort of how humans think of ways do things that aren't normal.
Like dying in gruesome manners?
Yes.
And you call us weird.

After the less then inlightening mental banter played out, and Marcus reached the end of one row, Cass grabbed his attention with what sounded like an offer. "Cass are you-" The blush was nail on the head and he could only feel a blush of his own rising in reply. Sheepishly he asked. "Cass, would you like to uh...go with me on a date?" The copy of Godzilla lifted up. "To the movies?"

She said yes. For a second Marcus was unsure if he'd even heard her correctly. She'd accepted his offer, and looked just about as confident about it as he did.
The date means you two are going to-
NO DIS.
Aw..... Party pooper.
Smiling he kissed the back of her hand, trying to remain collected. "It's a date then."

Marcus would deny the part of date mechanics that included making out for a while. Rushing into things was always bad idea. They had plans for walking and touring, and now a movie night. A-
Make out? Dis liked this idea. He liked it a lot.
So did Marcus honestly. But starting a movie only to make out? No, that was just sleazy. Besides, just hanging out and watching a movie would just be that. Hanging out, watching a movie. Talking maybe.
Or making out.

Marcus sighed and scratched his head. "Sorry Dis is acting up but-" Their selection was a touch limited. "It looks mostly horror, um, what is your favorite movie?" His was The Green Mile. Or The Hangover. Or- well okay he didn't really have a favorite. "It seems only right I ask you out you get to pick the movie."

Marcus smiled when she reacted in what he saw as rather cute blushing and babble. It really made him want to try kissing her again, just to see what she'd do. Or say. But when she told him they didn't have her movie- "Hrm..maybe we can request a movie? Say we want to study it for the idea of people being adverse to cute colorful talking animals?" It was a long shot, but never hurt to try. Not normally anyways.

When she mentioned ghost Blue eyes widened at her sudden shift in mood. Apparently that was a path he should not travel. But this though left as she presented him with another movie, this one- "Love it huh?" Was she shaking?
Check her boobies.
Not thinking Marcus did, and-
Hahaha, she is shaking!
I hate you.
You picked her, not me. I would have picked the other guy with -
NO.

Marcus was going to so ditch his weapon while they watched the movie. Even if he shouldn't, he would. "Well, I think the Thing will be our date movie then." He smiled, offering her an arm. "Check it out, ask where we can watch it or if they have TVs and players we can check out?"

Marcus had every intention to learn about Cassandra Norris. Ghost he figured would be covered in class. Not while he was busy admiring Cassandra's-
It felt like there was a smug smirk coming from his weapon, and Marcus brushed thoughts of Cassandra's form aside. "Should I have asked for a spoiler warning?"

Walking towards the desk, Marcus was in 'glee' mode. Girl on arm? Check. Date set? Check. Movie? Check. Life not looking grim? Check plus. His glee mode went into fits as soon as Cass told him just what she was doing. "I, uh, what?" Did she just hit on him? Just..flat, out there- Oh man she was going to test him wasn't she? "That's good to know." A deep breath and his thoughts managed to sort themselves.
Are you gonna say it?
"Makes me feel less guilty about how I've been checking you out."
YOU SAID IT.
"Sadly, I've no plans to really stop."

Marcus.
Yeah?
You are the best hunter. I am so glad I picked out, even if you don't want to check out that fine male a-

Marcus cast a quick glance at Cass, and that easily blocked out his weapon's remarks.

Hips bumping and Dis almost made a comment on how they were bumping on the wrong side. Almost. He didn't, mostly since Marcus told him to shut up and let him focus. He had a girl to flirt with. The weapon figured it was a reasonable request.
Marcus was going to flirt, and try not to make too much a fool out of himself. Trusting his chest out just slightly he hoped he was seeming to impress. "How about you ditch the belt for the night?" Technically they weren't supposed to, but it wasn't like they had a mission. Or the teachers were going to come after them.

Would they?

"Take it off, come over to my room, and we'll watch us some Things." A wink and Dis cheered him on. "Meet me in an hour?"
