Who: Athena Cykes (cykedfists ) & Bro Strider (stridercentric ) & Dirk  Strider (anotherdirkstrider ) & MAYYBBBEE Apollo Justice (justjustice )
Where: Athena's Apartment (Pisces 09-09)
Summary: After answering Bro's text, they somehow set up a not!date.
When: The night after this thread.
Style: Starting in 3rd, but I'm cool with either or.
Status: Closed

After their text chat, they had apparently decided that they were going to have a muppets marathon. Athena hadn't really been to Hinoto-ri for that long, so she didn't really know a lot of people yet. It was pretty strange how this was all decided, but if she could make a new friend out of it, why not? Besides.... something about eating pizza and having a movie night was kind of nice. It actually sounded like fun.

Athena's apartment was pretty plain at the moment, but she did try to make her apartment homey. Her mother's Hat-1 jacket was hanging up. Ever since she'd discovered it, she couldn't help but keep it out. Something about having it made her feel better, even if it did make her sad to see it too.

She had gone out to grab some pop with the pizza that Bro was bringing. While she waited, she set up the living area for their movie night escapade.

[She will notice the flowers soon enough, because Bro will lean forward in a bit of a bow and then hold the bouquet right under her nose. Take it, take it.]

Milady. You look absolutely stunning and shit. Let's make this evening last, 'cause it's time to play the music and light the lights.

[cykedfists]

[Oh, roses. She didn't really think of this as a "date" to begin with, but the notion of buying her a bouquet of flowers... of roses of all things, was enough to make her flush lightly. She'd never really had anyone give her flowers before. Smiling, she took them from him.]

Thank you, they're lovely. [Even when he was trying to compliment her, she couldn't help but laugh.] Stunning and shit, huh? You have a way with words.

[Just going to grin to him. Walking towards her living area, she beckoned him over.]

[stridercentric]

[He has the best way with words. The very best. That's why he shoots Athena a confident grin before waltzing his way into the apartment.]

Yeah, I'm a grade A gentleman. Smoothest of the smooth.

[He carelessly drops the pizza boxes on the nearest table and pulls out the DVDs, then makes his way over to the DVD player.]

[cykedfists]

[And while he's doing that, she's just going to put the roses in a vase that she found. She then went to grab some plates for them and the grab a piece of pizza for herself.]

So what's first then?

[stridercentric]

[Yup, don't mind Bro as he makes himself right at home and pops a DVD into the player. Once he's done with that, he'll drop himself on the couch, remote in hand.]

The first movie, of course! You've gotta get back to the basics.

[cykedfists]

[Totally okay with that. She'll take a seat after grabbing a can of pop.]

True. Very well then.

[stridercentric]

[Hopefully, she'll be okay with Bro putting his feet up on the table too, because he'll be doing just that once he's got a slice of pizza in hand.]

You'd better brace yourself for the full Muppety experience, babe. Once this train leaves the station, there's no way to jump off.

[cykedfists]

[Would be nice if he didn't, but whatever. She's just going to grab another slice.]

We'll see about that.

[stridercentric]

We will see about that! See and hear, and whatever the hell else comes with watching a movie.

[With that said, he takes a bite from his slice of pizza and presses play.]

[cykedfists]

[Grinning to that, she started to watch it as it played.]

Is it safe to assume that the Muppets are a favorite of yours?

[stridercentric]

Only my greatest favorite ever to worm their way into that black hole I call a heart.

[Yeahh, this is a 33 year old guy who's saying this with absolutely no shame.]

[cykedfists]

[That's totally okay man.]

Well, we all have our favorites, right? No shame in that.

[stridercentric]

No shame at all. Zilch. Nada. Haters gonna hate they ain't ever gonna stop me from doin' my thing.
