So-

[Billy brings up his other hand to idly scratch at his cheek. To be honest, hanging out in a group isn't something he's done in a while... certainly not back where he came from, but. Getting to know your shipmates a little more can't be bad, right? They all have to work together.]

Since I have some DVDs and a portable player, I thought it might be fun to set up some sort of movie night soon? Just for something fun and stupid. Maybe we can get some snacks, some drinks... Make an actual night of it.

If anyone's interested, let me know here, and when you're available so we can try to set up a time that's convenient for everyone.

Oh, yeah? It is a total classic. Now I'm regretting not having them...

What other films do you like?

I saw Metropolis, and The Jazz Singer-- that one was amazing! The Wizard of Oz nearly made me cry, though I couldn't make it through Gone With the Wind. I liked It Happened One Night! The Wolfman was ridiculous, if horror movies haven't changed much I think I'll give that genre a pass.

I always liked going to the movies though. For a while, you're watching someone else's story. Escaping into a different world for a while, where everything turns out alright in the end.

Those are classics, definitely. [He lets out a laugh.] And just between you and me, The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites too. And... horror movies have changed, sure. They have a lot more gore and a lot more attempts to play up the shock factor. Some are decent? It depends on what you like.

Me too. It's one of the draws, right? And I figure, with as weird as everything is right now... we could all maybe use some time to just kick back and enjoy a story we for sure know is going to end well.

Yeah, I've only been here a short time, and I still think I'd like that. I've heard some people have been here for months, I imagine they desperately could use a night like that.

So which one ends the best out of those two that you have? The Sound of Music or Lord of the Rings?

How are you settling in? I know it's kind of... overwhelming at first.

[The physical and everything else that came along with it was awkward and a little invasive after all...]

I think Lord of the Rings might be the way to go? It has a little bit of everything.

...Slowly. [She admits with a wince in her voice.] I had no idea what a 'cell phone' was before I got here, if that gives you any indication of the level of adjustment I've had to undergo.

[But it's not impossible, and the things she's seeing every day are nothing short of amazing. ...save the slightly scuzzy showering facilities on her deck. Part of acclimating to that might be taking it upon herself to sterilize it every week.]

That sounds great. Appeal to the broader audience on the first meeting and hopefully you'll have a 'movie following' after a while.

Oh, wow. What year were you from before all of this?

[He has to admit, this would be really overwhelming to show up here and be faced with technology that far advanced.]

Hey, that wouldn't be so bad if it works out. I mean, it's gotta be good for morale, right?

1912.

[All things considered, she's apparently doing pretty well.]

Very good for morale. Or at least, good for building camaraderie between all of us.

Wow, really? That had to be a huge learning curve...

And yeah, I figure some more social events can only help anyway. We were all brought here, I mean, so sticking together seems like a good idea.

I'm still working on it, honestly. But I'm a quick study at mostly everything, so I'm picking up how to work the thumb scanners, the MIDs, all of that.

Of course-- even if we're not under a lot of strain here, we share a common thread of having been taken from our various timelines at the very least. Being away from them will probably start to take a toll, and being isolated from each other would only make it worse.

Yeah, the MIDs are new to even me. I'd have preferred a normal phone.

It will. It's kind of crazy, isn't it? Just how many various places people seem to have been taken from.
