Episode 14 Scene 9

Mallory and Tanya

So you settle down to watch Return to Werebear island!

It is so bad, it's good. With cheesy over-embellished acting, constant "Where are the Werebears of Werebear island." And really. Think Sharknado, but it's an island, with werebears.

As the plucky nymph heroine faces down the wearbear king armed with only her trusty silver chainsaw (she calls it CerbeArus, because it has three times the chopping power), how do you react?

This wasn't how Alex had planned to spend her Valentines Day. But she really didn't mind. She didn't like planning. It always felt so artificial, so wrong to try and force romance and closeness instead of just doing what she felt was right with people she cared about. Now instead of having wine with Luna she was having ice cream with P'ro'shi. And honestly, she kind of liked this better. ...she hoped that was because she liked ice cream more than rose petals rather than it being something about Luna. Though she HAD been kind of nervous that she'd been hyping things up too much...

Walking in with one hand in P'ro'shi's, Alex's eyes immediately lit up seeing Jessica. "Yo! Minion! Good to see you!" Alex grinned at the unexpected surprise... before realizing she was getting ice cream by herself sans date. She almost asked, before deciding that probably wouldn't help matters if she really was dateless. "Me and my amazing girlfriend here were getting some ice cream too. Want to hang for a bit? I won't even make you do push ups to work it off."

Taika looks over her shoulder as Nate leaves the room, making sure he's out of earshot. "Hey... Jen? Can I ask you a... a question? As a friend? ...What do you think about Nate and me... being together?" If she had blood in her body, she would be blushing furiously right now. Why was she asking Jen, anyways? This is the worst person to ask! The cards were clear, that should be enough for her! Those cups, those wands. The lovers, the wheel, the fool, and that hanged man. Stop trying to lie to yourself!

A Thousand Faces - Nat 1

[The TechnoGnome]

"Oh, come on!" Mallory shouted as the heroine pulled out her silver chainsaw, "Why did she name the chainsaw that? Cerberus was a guard dog, not an attack dog! It doesn't make sense for her to name a weapon that, especially since she's the one invading their home! Wouldn't it make more sense to name the Werebear King that, since he's guarding the island and, you know, actually a bear?"

She took another large bite of her meat-lovers pizza as the fight scene started, offering the others a brief respite from the running commentary on the movie she had been giving since it began. The shifts in her tone between snarky commentary, manic laughter, and furious shouting made it rather hard for Ethan and Tanya to tell if she was actually enjoying the movie or not. Her personal DVD collection (which included among other things an unusually large number of Nicolas Cage movies) could have tipped the two of them off to her less than sophisticated taste in film, had it not been hidden in a shoe box under her bed long before they got there.

As the nymph hacked into the Werebear, Mallory rolled her eyes, "Well that's an unexpected twist: the Werebear King bleeds grape jelly, which is apparently such a shocking revelation that the boom mike had to drop into the scene to see for itself!" She narrowed her eyes and continued to watch the edge of the screen, "Man, that thing's staying in the shot for a while. Did no one seriously notice that? It's practically hitting her on the head at this point. Maybe it's in league with the werebears."

"Ah, so you're the one she's been working out, huh? Hmmmm...." P'ro'shi eyes the girl up and down before getting a wicked grin "Say, she mostly been up on conditioning, or as she got some speed practice going on too?" One tentacle quietly worms its way behind the cheerleader's leg "Might help when people come at you from-"Then, the tentacles jerks back towards P'ro'shi, hooking the cheerleader behind the knee "unexpected angles." Since she's merely feeling mischevious, not cruel, she blots down to grab her before she can hit the ground.

[Zevox]

Tanya, while not one for pointing out production details or logical flaws like Mallory, is clearly enjoying how cheesy the movie is herself, particularly the more over-the-top elements of the action scenes. "Oh man, you'd think Werebears were made out of tissue paper for how easy that chainsaw cuts 'em!" she said in between bouts of laughter and cheers at the over-the-top violence. "Reminds me of MadWorld. Actually, if this movie were all in black and white except for the blood like in that game, it might be even better."

"And I swear, whoever choreographed this thing has got to be a Bayonetta fan. I ain't seen anyone bend like that while kickin' a** anywhere else." Okay, that wasn't entirely true, but it wasn't like she was going to discuss the kind of porn she liked with... well, anyone.

During the particularly-overblown climactic fight scene, she is all but bouncing out of her seat, caught up in the energy of the fight despite the flaws. As the heroine delivers the killing blow to the King in a dramatic move involving entirely too many mid-air flips for one jump, Tanya actually leaps to her feet, laughing, and emulates the move. Or tries to - in hindsight it was an incredibly dumb move and she really should have expected what came of it, considering it was a clearly physically impossible stunt and wouldn't even look half as cool without the slow-motion anyway, but between the action, blood, and the Nymph heroine's of course ample and continuously bouncing chest, there were more than a few distractions keeping Tanya from thinking straight at the time.

Sakata keeps eating cake, not really noticing what is going on around her.

When she does, she starts slowing her headlong plunge into tasting every flavor of cake they offer. As the staff grows more worried, Sakata starts to worry that it is somehow her fault.

It isn't my fault is it? Am I eating everything away from everyone else? Is there enough cake?

Agatha does not seem to be amused by your snarky commentary.

"Jeez! Mal! Keep it down. I'm trying to watch..." She starts before Ethan joins in.

"We lost a lot of souls, when the boom mics allied with the Werebears." He agrees laughing.

Perhaps unfortunately this chest belongs to Agatha.

"Have you looked outside, mistress?" One of the maids asks.

Outside? No, why?

Sakata looks outside.

[Esprit15]

"Yes, but... I can't help but-" she looks over to make sure Nate isn't coming back, "see all these other people I want to be with. And with Nate being a monogamous person, I don't think I want to put him through that. It's not that I don't like him, I just want to be with other people too."

Gwen looks sadly sympathetic and says, "Really? Did they say why?"

"On the plus side you got P'ro'shi to feel your rear. Always a good day in my book," Alex points out. "Come on, let me... er, let P'ro'shi buy you another one since that one got wrecked."

Outside? No, why?

Give me a skill check. d4

Jen gives a expression of distaste at this, but forges on

Well is this a once in awhile thing. Or near constant. Jen asked.

Gwen looks sadly sympathetic and says, "Really? Did they say why?"

"Because I don't have enough seniority." Heather pouted.

"On the plus side you got P'ro'shi to feel your rear. Always a good day in my book," Alex points out. "Come on, let me... er, let P'ro'shi buy you another one since that one got wrecked."

"Implying that I'm attracted to P'ro'shi, or rears." Jessica points out.

"Implying that I'm attracted to P'ro'shi, or rears." Jessica points out.

"I don't care if you're straight, gay or asexual, P'ro'shi is damn hot," Alex retorts. "Hers is a sexiness that transcends gender and sexuality. She's sex on legs, a sexemental if you want. Or I could just be biased," she admits with a shrug,. "Don't think so though," she adds, giving P'ro'shi a quick peck on the cheek.

Huh. That is a lot of snow... Really sudden too. Yeah. I guess we should go.

Crap. Didn't realize she already got cream. "Sorry. Here, let me help you with that." She then sticks out her tongue to try and lick some off, but retracts it shortly after realizing that was probably kinda creepy. Then she grabs some napkins to help wipe some stains off in a more normal method.
