That's the one. I'm keeping you far, far away from the sequels, though.

Hmmm. How do you feel about giant robots punching giant monsters in the face?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He gives her a Look, and his voice goes flat. ]

Do you seriously have to even ask.

[isaymechro]

[ She just grins at that and starts scribbling furiously ]

Aaaand Pacific Rim goes onto the list. Maya might actually like that one- it's got a badass lady with blue hair in it.

Oh! I almost forgot about the Fifth Element!

[nostalgiabomb]

Better keep it to the essentials for now. There're only so many hours in the day, y'know.

[isaymechro]

Hey, you want comprehensive or essential?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He frowns, but-- well, he's trying to be more responsible and other boring shit, so he sighs. ] Essentials for now. Comprehensive when we've got time to spare.

[isaymechro]

Do I have like a limit or--?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He's trying to think of their schedule; aside from today, he's thinking they maybe have a day they can squeeze in for awesome movie times, so-- ]

Probably four. Five tops. And I'll let you know when we can have a seriously epic marathon when we aren't, like, trying to rid the galaxy of evil and shit.

[isaymechro]

Okay, okay. Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, The Fifth Element, Pacific Rim. That's... [ and she counts off on her fingers ] 1991, 1993, 1997, and 2013. I need somethin' in the middle there to round you off.

I'd say Serenity, but you gotta see Firefly first to get it. Hmmmm....

Okay, pick one: pirates, zombies, or more robots?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He hums thoughtfully, then, ] Pirates. More robots can always come later.

[isaymechro]

Pirates it is, then!

[ She jots Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl onto the paper and hands it over ]

That should get you started.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He glances at the list-- but he frowns at it. ]

Why's the pirates one sound so familiar?

[isaymechro]

Uuuh. It was a ride at some Disney park I think.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He blinks, then the memory settles. ] Yeah, I guess that must've been it. Huh. That's kinda-- weird. How'd they make a movie about it?

[isaymechro]

There's pirates. They're in the Caribbean. That's uh. That's about were the similarities stop.

[nostalgiabomb]

... Alright, fun times.

Anyway, I'll get to work getting the movies together. In the meantime, I hate to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure you're still workin' on a project.

[isaymechro]

Hey, trust me. It's badass.

[ she makes a face, sticking her tongue out at him ]

Frickin' slave driver, that's what you are.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter secretly, or perhaps not so secretly at this point, is a five-year-old, and so he sticks his tongue out right back. ]

You're on the clock, kid.

[isaymechro]

[ He's in good company, then. Gaige is pretty much five, too. ]

I'm goin', I'm goin'. Don't get our panties in a bunch.

[ She snatches her water bottle off the table, and treks back to where she's been working. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He calls after her, ]

Holler if you need help. And if you decide to cut off your other arm, please do not do it on my ship.

[isaymechro]

Wow, rude. You cut your own arm off once and nobody ever lets you forget it.

[nostalgiabomb]

We ain't paying you for sass, Luke Skywalker. Get back to work.

[isaymechro]

I already said I'm goin'.

Also, if you wanna make some major brownie points, you'd put all the books on the shelves when I'm done.
