And it's popcorn. Crunchy movie watching snackfood.
[Don't murder him. Rhys eats a few pieces to prove that it isn't poison.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 02:08 am (UTC)I don't eat between meals.
[Hux reaches over to pick up the box art, reading the description. As such, he's caught offguard when the animated merpeople start singing]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 07:55 pm (UTC)[That's how it works, right? After your last meal you're allowed to snack again?
Rhys glances up at the screen as the Mermaid sisters swirl together on the screen. The colours are pretty beautiful.]

Date: 2018-10-22 07:59 pm (UTC)[That sure is General Hux of the First Order, shushing Rhys, in order to better hear this movie. He's listening intently now.]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 08:43 pm (UTC)[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 09:26 pm (UTC)He doesn't reach for the popcorn at all, and only takes an audible breath when the scene shifts]

Date: 2018-10-22 09:54 pm (UTC)He, on the other hand, feels more sympathy for Sebastian, who bumps and bonks his way through the sea bed, trying to keep up with Ariel on her way to her treasure trove.
She just doesn't see how a world that makes such wonderful things... could be bad.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:10 pm (UTC)[No, stay down there. It's better. He promises]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:17 pm (UTC)She's him, longing to reach Helios. Sasha, longing to leave Pandora. Vaughn and Yvette, dreaming about what they'll do when they get out of the rat race--
He steals a glance at Hux, wondering if he ever longed to escape the First Order for something or somewhere better, or if the song seems alien to him.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:25 pm (UTC)He doesn't notice Rhys looking at him]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:32 pm (UTC)There's a prince...
Rhys lets out a low whistle when Erik appears on screen. He sees where this is going.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:33 pm (UTC)What?
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:36 pm (UTC)[Partly Rhys is saying this because he was a teenager once, and right now he is Ariel.
And teenage Rhys would have at least made a compelling effort to get that.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:40 pm (UTC)What, the man?
[is that what merpeople do?]
He can't breathe underwater and she can't go on land. She'll dry out or he'll drown.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:45 pm (UTC)[Rhys remarks, still watching the screen.]
But look at her face. Look how much she wants him...
[Maybe he's playing a big dumb here, because Hux so clearly doesn't see where it's going.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:49 pm (UTC)[He's not saying this to be mean, he's honestly confused about how this could ever work out]
She has to realize how futile this is.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:52 pm (UTC)[Like wanting to be part of that world?]
Just because it's futile, that doesn't mean she can just stop herself from feeling it.
[But uh oh! A storm appears to be brewing!]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:55 pm (UTC)To the point where he gives a pained grimace when the prince leaps from the ship]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:02 pm (UTC)The storm rages, the prince sinks, and Ariel gets that and drags it to shore only to encounter exactly the obstacle that Hux anticipated.
No legs.
As Ariel is draped beside the Prince on the beach, reflecting helplessly on how beautiful he is, Rhys steals another glance at Hux.
Does he get it?]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:05 pm (UTC)She still can't breathe on land.
[Guess who hasn't been introduced to the idea of magic yet??]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:08 pm (UTC)Rhys shushes Hux, because it seems fair and appropriate.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:10 pm (UTC)She's not, but it's the thought that counts]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:20 pm (UTC)This is cool, but Rhys doesn't feel like it would have slaked his thirst for forbidden cuties when he was a teenager.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:22 pm (UTC)You can't expect her to stay there once she's seen everything she's wanted.
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:51 pm (UTC)[Oh hey, now she's slipping away to her cave to see... a statue of Eric!]
Oh my god, I'd die. I'd be obsessed.
