HMCA Holosuite Room- Monday evening

[thatwaslucky]

Rey wasn't really scared of anything. But you better believe that there was some trepidation involved in setting up the broken, stupid holosuite room after that terrible Cats thing. That had been scarring.

Today didn't seem bad, though! Sure, the seating today was one giant waterbed. But the movie seemed fine enough. Maybe sort of… winter apocalypse-themed? Anyway whatever, this wasn't the butthole edition of anything so they were just going to have to go with it even if it sucked.

"This movie makes me want to put a coat on," Rey said after a bit, so there was that.

[For those guys!]

"This...can't actually happen, can it?" He was going to have to move to another planet if it could.

"I'm not sure," Rey said slowly. "This world seems to be getting hotter, which is its own set of problems. But I can handle that."

She had never actually heard the words "polar vortex."

[long_memory]

"Heat is fine," he said. "I can deal with heat. This is some sort of winter nightmare."

[thatwaslucky]

"I can deal with most things," Rey said, shifting to try and get comfortable on a waterbed that didn't really allow you to do things like move. "I know I wouldn't want to deal with this one."

Cold wasn't that bad, guys. You could obviously outrun it and shut the door on it and it was fine.

[long_memory]

Silver, oddly, didn't seem to mind the waterbed so much. But that could probably be attributed to all the time spent at sea.

"My issue is how quickly this is all happening," he said. "All this in the span of, what, a week?"

Guys, don't expect realism from disaster movies.

[thatwaslucky]

If he didn't mind it, then she was just going to move to get into his personal space, because if she was going to deal with this thing then she was going to cuddle.

"I think that just makes the disaster of it worse. No time to prepare."

[long_memory]

Silver would complain about cuddling never. He put an arm around Rey's shoulders to facilitate that cuddling.

"I also didn't think wolves would be such a danger in urban areas."

[thatwaslucky]

"Apparently only when they're on ships in the middle of a city," Rey smiled. "I think we're still fine on the mainland until the ships are in the street."

How big were those streets.

[long_memory]

"That's reassuring," he said. "Honestly, I'd rather take the tornados."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Is it meant to be a magical occurrence? Because I believe it could in that case." With his vast knowledge of magic and all.

[long_memory]

"I think this film is meant to be set in the real world." Sort of?

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"...I live in a real world," Jaskier said. Even though he didn't.

[long_memory]

"Here, in the real world," he clarified. "Where magic traditionally is viewed as fake."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Ah! Well, I suppose that makes sense." Science was still a little magic, right? Magnets? How do they even work?

[long_memory]

"It makes it scarier for people, I think," he said. "That way they think it could really happen."

Even though it was highly unlikely it'd happen over, like, a week. And wolves probably wouldn't be involved.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"I wasn't aware there were wolves in this area," he had to mention. Because there weren't. There straight up weren't.

[long_memory]

"Well they escaped from the zoo," Silver pointed out. "So they aren't native."

Which was reassuring seeing as they did not have a zoo around here wolves could escape from.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Is this meant as a warning?" The cat-people thing had been bad enough, thank you.

[thatwaslucky]

"The movie? Probably," Rey said. "I'm not quite sure how well it's getting that point across, though."

Recycle so you don't get chased by wolves, maybe?

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Yes, but he'd been chased by wolves without any of that too!

"I fell like he need a blanket and some hot cocoa." Which was a luxury he'd gladly bring back home with him, thank you.

[thatwaslucky]

"I do have hot cocoa upstairs," Rey said. In her hoarder's pantry. It was a mix.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Well, it was good that someone knew how to hoard food. Jaskier now and always lived off of takeout here.

"For the good of us all, I suggest someone other than myself make it."

And Silver might poison them by mistake. So.

[thatwaslucky]

"So, me then."

She was pretty sure Silver could handle a microwave but she didn't actually have evidence of this.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"I find it best to know my own limitations," he informed her solemnly.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'll do it," Rey said, if she could get off the stupid waterbed, she hated this thing, "but know that it's just pouring things in a mug and stirring."
