Movie night, Friday

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Had Jon been sleeping well this week? Of course not. But Jon never slept well, so he didn't look rougher than he ever did. Which at the moment was "moderately".

He still gave his best smile as he stood at the front of the room, because at least this wasn't any form of tea again.

"Um. Welcome to class. I'm Jonathan Sims. I think the idea behind this class is to catch up on modern pop culture, and so those of us - or maybe you - who know it can help the ones who don't. The, um. The moose had a suggestion for the first week's movie, so we're going to go with that this week." In the hopes that it would save him more tea later.

"Also we should probably still do introductions, I suppose. Um. Again, I'm Jonathan Sims. I'm from London in...well more or less modern times; I lost a couple years, but not much. And I'm here because the moose assigned me to it."

He nodded at the first person to start.

Rosa briefly considered using one of her aliases for her introduction, especially since so many people in the class knew it was an obvious lie, but ultimately she just shrugged and admitted "Rosa Diaz. I'm from Brooklyn, not even all that time displaced, I just love going to these classes because what goes on during them is sometimes even more entertaining than the movies themselves."

Oh, the stories she could tell you all. And, really, the existence of Movie Class had been the catalyst for her whole current relationship, so...she wasn't missing this one for anything.

"Well, I, um. I hope this lives up to your expectations, I suppose," Jon offered. "Without being terrible." Because in his experience, interesting things weren't often good.
