MCA #2- Monday evening

[thatwaslucky]

It was Halloween, or at least Halloween-adjacent, and when your boyfriend ended up loving truly terrible horror movies, sometimes it meant curling up in front of the TV on a mermaid sofa and watching something about a stalker killer tire.

"Someone actually thought this was a good idea," Rey noted, head tilting at the TV.


[For the pirate!]

"What do you mean?" This was a great idea, clearly.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's a killer tire," Rey said, in case he had missed that. "Which is at least more mobile than a murderous fence."

[long_memory]

"I think it's very creative," Silver said with a wry smile. "I'm sure there are plenty of killer car movies, but a killer tire--that's new."

[thatwaslucky]

"So it's the novelty of it," she noted. "To think I almost chose a killer pants movie."

[long_memory]

"It'd be interesting to see how pants would kill," he said. "I mean, a tire to the face would hurt. Pants on the other hand...I guess they could strangle you."

[thatwaslucky]

Spoiler: there was a zipper incident.

"I think strangulation is a given. Maybe squeezing?"

[long_memory]

"Like the person puts on the pants and they squeeze them to death?" Silver asked. "I could see that happening."

[thatwaslucky]

"It wouldn't be pleasant," she said thoughtfully. "And the threat of it still wouldn't be enough to get me to wear skirts."

[long_memory]

"What's the issue with skirts?" he asked. "Don't like the breeze?"

[thatwaslucky]

"It would be harder to fight someone if I need to," she said simply.

[long_memory]

"Huh. I never really thought about that," Silver said. "But flowy clothes are kind of the norm in my day. I've seen a lot of women ruin a man's day while wearing a skirt."

Usually by stabbing him rather than any hand to hand combat but whatever.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm sure." To borrow from somewhere else, girls get it done, etc. "But I can't imagine doing something like the obstacle course in that. Especially when I'm not used to it."

[long_memory]

"What about the cloaks Anakin wears?" Silver asked. "Or does he take that off when fighting?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Those come off," she told him. "Very dramatically."

It was a skill, honestly.

[long_memory]

"That sounds fun," he joked. "When do you get to that part of training?"

[thatwaslucky]

"To the dramatic cloak dropping?" Rey laughed. "I don't think I have the flair needed for that."

[long_memory]

"That's why the training is there," Silver pointed out. "Flair doesn't come naturally."

[thatwaslucky]

"So you're saying I should ask Master Skywalker for drama lessons," Rey smiled.

[long_memory]

"...I am kind of curious if he would agree to it so, yes, you should." It was an important Jedi trait!

[thatwaslucky]

"I think he would actually be thrilled," Rey admitted. "Until he saw how very bad at it I'd be."

At least she was going to get the superhero landing down.

[long_memory]

Silver smiled some, turning his gaze back to the TV once he heard some screams coming from the movie. "I don't know, I think he would appreciate a challenge."

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm sure I'm enough of a challenge normally," she said wryly, frowning at the TV. "I don't understand what's happening in this."

[long_memory]

"Well, clearly, that tire is upset about something." About what, he had no idea.

[thatwaslucky]

"I think he's doing it just because he can," Rey said. "Which is kind of a boring motive."

[long_memory]

"Or does it make it scarier?" he asked. "No motive means he can go after anyone."
