TV TIME

[ungovernanceable]

Who: Anyone
When: July 29th, evening
Where: Cafeteria
What: TV NIGHT
Warnings: none off hand

[ A few hours ago, a text notification was sent on burst to anything with a network receiver: Please Report To Commissary At Sunset. Critical Information To Be Disseminated.

For those who show up, Captain Private Moon is standing kinda in the middle of the cafeteria and has arranged the chairs to all be facing a single blank wall. It is projecting an image (? somehow? unclear?) onto the wall: currently the title card of something called Galactic Horror Story: International Space Station. ]

It is clear that individual experience with occult elements varies greatly. I myself have had no first hand experience that could be characterized as "supernatural" but I have some second-hand knowledge allowing me to achieve a state commonly referred to as "genre savvy". While genre savvy alone is insufficient to understand all elements currently at play, it is my belief that it represents a nonetheless valuable asset to risk analysis and decision making. I would therefor recommend all present to observe this fictionalized depiction of real historical events, and learn from them accordingly.

[One way or another, he catches wind of the notification and shows up as directed. There, he recognizes the individual in the middle of the cafeteria, who seems much more stable from before, and is pleasantly surprised by what he hears.]

I had hoped something like this would become available to us. Where did you acquire such a footage?

[ungovernanceable]

It was available over the network at a previous job site.

[ piracy. It pirated the bad tv show. ]

[she doesn't have a phone, but she's stopping in when she catches the glow of TELEVISION???? on her way back to the dorms]

Ah!! This is such a good idea!

[ungovernanceable]

[ you might not be able to tell that it’s smug. But it is. ]

Yes.

[darkholder]

[watching the image with a little squint]

A... painting of words?

[ungovernanceable]

Premium quality entertainment programming.

[ pauses. Thinks. ]

Moderate quality entertainment programming.

[ He probably just ended up at the cafeteria because he was hungry.

Still, seeing the setup, Mark immediately perks up. ]

Oh sweet, is this a movie night?

[ not even questioning how a movie night might be possible ]

Man... if only we could get popcorn here.

[ Since there doesn't appear to be any available today. Or probably ever, because it's a school cafeteria. Sad. ]

[ungovernanceable]

No.

This is serial programming night. Which is far superior.

[brokenlance]

[Azure is here because he was out training at night, and figured he'd stop by the cafeteria for a late night pitstop.

...Are the chairs lined up like that for a class lecture? How is the image showing up on the wall via... light... what's a movie]

Oh! Have you planned a seminar?

[ungovernanceable]

Something of that nature. Are you familiar with television serials?

[gamboler]

[ He just happens to be here for some dinner, he didn't realize he was going to get a show, too! Sitting rapt at attention, one leg crossed over the other: ]

Please, do go on. I haven't seen this one before.

[ He's also what one might consider "genre savvy". ]

[ungovernanceable]

[ please dont wink at me thats disgusting ]

I will let the programming speak for itself.

[laevateinns]

[ what the hell

akechi had come in search of secunit, wanting to apologize and being unable to grab it in the dorms, but- this isn't what he expected. he's a little thrown. ]

Yeah? [ is all he says at first. ]

[ungovernanceable]

[ Giving his vitals a quick peek. You good, kiddo? ]

Are you familiar with television serials?

[ratiocinations]

[Wait WAIT Mr Adair here is just present to question the logistics of this all, only having been recently told about-]

Is this television?

[ungovernanceable]

Yes. Moderately high quality television, in fact.

THE ACTUAL SHOW

[ungovernanceable]

[ The series is made of ~30 44 minute episodes, so they only make it through the first few tonight. It is set in Earth Year 2012, where in accordance with ancient Earth prophecies, a joint force of America, the USSR, and the Holy Roman Empire launches the International Space Station project. But unbeknownst to any of the 200 astronauts selected for the initial launch, a cult lead by Alister Crowley, Nikola Tesla, Elizabeth Báthory, and Gary Gygax has infiltrated the project. Their occult symbol is an upside down pentagram with an Amongus in the center. All American characters dress like cowboys. All Soviet characters dress like WWII snipers. All Holy Roman Empire characters dress like Ottoman-era nobility.

But like, the horror element is legitimately kinda scary, so there is that at least. ]

I hope this initial viewing has proven informative. We will resume at the same time tomorrow.

[......... walked in in the middle of an episode and just.

facepalming in the background.

Is this supposed to be a scifi fantasy? Historical piece? If it's the latter, it's completely wrong!]

[isdf]

[Fascinating . . .

Yuma will be back on the dot. There's so much to be learned on the road to becoming genre savvy.]

[laevateinns]

[ akechi starts off judgementally, but he seems super into it by the end, watching with a hand on his chin. ]

This is the worse thing I’ve ever seen. [ he sounds absolutely enthralled. ]

[mogger]

It's alright.

[ and yet she hadn't stopped watching for the entire duration ]

Re: THE ACTUAL SHOW

[bowtiedbones]

[it’s not a comedy but she sure is laughing like it’s one]

There’s more?

Re: THE ACTUAL SHOW

[darkholder]

[cannot pay any real attention to the insane plot because she's in the background quietly having her mind blown by the fact that these pictures are moving]

[ordimame]

[he missed the initial notification, but! somehow manages to stumble across this viewing party while scrounging about for dinner. he hangs around out of curiosity, but ten minutes into the first episode he catches. . .]

[he is]





[absolutely and utterly enthralled]

— does every episode end on a cliffhanger??

[titlecard]

[ ... ]

That was wild.

[ ... still kind of disappointed they have to stop there for the night ]
