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?

[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!

[darkholder]

[watching the image with a little squint]

A... painting of words?

[ungovernanceable]

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

[ piracy. It pirated the bad tv show. ]

[ungovernanceable]

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

Yes.

[ungovernanceable]

Premium quality entertainment programming.

[ pauses. Thinks. ]

Moderate quality entertainment programming.

[isdf]

[Pirating is bad.]

You . . . downloaded it?

[ungovernanceable]

[ what are you, a SecUnit? Piracy is awesome. ]

Yes.

[isdf]

What foresight . . . Does that mean you have more like it in your library?

[He has no idea that this was done unlawfully.]

[titlecard]

[ 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.

[darkholder]

Oh...

[doing decently well at concealing the ???? vibe]

[titlecard]

Oh, cool.

... How long is it?

[ It's said with interest. Somebody might be ready to park in for the long haul. ]

[ungovernanceable]

Pertaining to the occult, not many. A few others.

[ Several thousand hours worth of others, give or take. ]

[ungovernanceable]

A modest twenty three hours.

[titlecard]

So, two or three days to get through the whole thing?

[ungovernanceable]

[ cool then it will not explain further ]

[ungovernanceable]

With an aggressive viewing schedule, yes.

[titlecard]

I'm down. Haven't heard of this one before, though I guess the last time I was on Mars it was kind of like a horror story.

[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?

[darkholder]

[imagine being able to easily admit that you don't know something

keeps watching the image]

[bowtiedbones]

We've definitely got people here who don't know what horror movies are. Or like why dolls would be creepy! This will be soooo much faster than explaining tropes.

[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". ]

[isdf]

Do you think it would be possible to watch them once we've absorbed the information this program has to offer?

[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. ]
