A night out! [OPEN]
Who: Pilouette and You!
Where: District 5 and later, the Guest Apartments.
When: Evening of October 9th and into the night
Summary: Pilouette decides to break from her usual schedule and have a night out. It doesn't go as smoothly as she would hope.
Warnings: None as of posting. Maybe some awkwardness?
Though she's been living on her own in Saeng Seong for over a year, Pilouette has been sticking more or less to the same general schedule she had back home: Get up early, do whatever she was doing during the day — usually work in this case, rather than school — then come home and be in bed by 10.
However, since turning seventeen the month before, she had been thinking about something. Why was she still following that schedule? After all, she's been living without any kind of actual adult supervision for a while. Really, she could do whatever she wanted. Plus, she's a year older, even closer to being an adult than she was before! Plus, seeing as was given the next day off...Pilouette decides to have a night out. Even with the warning the previous week, she figures she'll be fine. After all, Ren said those people were headed towards a closed district. As long as she doesn't spend too much time near those she'll be fine. Probably.
After work she dresses up, just a little bit, to make herself feel a little more grown up before heading out to District 5. She's still a little nervous and she might not notice if something, like her cellphone or wallet, fell out of her purse on the way.
Before long, she gets to the theater having decided to see a movie. However, she's having trouble deciding what to see. She's pretty bad with scary movies, but...well, since she's older now, maybe she can handle it. After all, it's just a movie. However, she could also see one of any number of other movies that won't scare her to death.
After it's all over, Pilouette walks back to District 2 and up to her own apartment, 3-03 in Building 2. She stands there for a moment, rummaging through her purse for a moment, looking for her key. When she doesn't find it she begins to backtrack to look for it. It's not until she's been searching the first floor for a while when it hits her. It's on her table. Inside her apartment. She's locked herself out. Great.
After a few moments of being generally annoyed and upset at herself, she thinks about what her options are. She doesn't want to bother anyone at such a late hour and she can't just mill about all night. So, Pilouette makes her way back up to the third floor and, settling down on a couch in the third floor's lounge area, buys some coffee from a vending machine. She comes to find that she doesn't actually like coffee very much. At all. It's so bitter and gross. However she wants to try and stay awake so she can see about possibly getting another key or something to get back into her apartment bright and early. However, it doesn't work out very well and she ends up falling asleep.
...It's probably not the best place for it.

"Let's get this movie started!"
no subject
She leans forward a bit, already starting to tense up. It's barely started but she's already starting to anticipate getting scared.
no subject
Lightning flashes, lighting up a large concrete facility of some sort, helpfully labelled SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE.
Inside the building a group of people in lab coats stand in front of large circular portal device of some sort - because portal devices are always large and circular - while one of them makes a speech.
"Today, we make the greatest achievement since man first walked in space. Today we make the first steps into... the place beyond space!"
Blades gasps.
no subject
"To think, people said it couldn't be done! Surely the things we discover will change science as we know it!!"
Pilouette begins munching on the popcorn, her eyes widening a little. A partial title drop so early into the movie! Things are getting serious already! She leans forward just a bit more as the drama rises. It's been a while since she's watched a movie so she's getting really into it.
no subject
Sure enough, shortly after he speaks a lightning bolt hits the SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE and suddenly the portal machine goes haywire! Flashing lights! Screaming! One of the scientists yelling "Shut it down!"
And then... then! Someone screams, "Something's coming through the machine!"
The music swells to a screeching crescendo of horror.
no subject
Light and smoke flood the screen as a bizarre silhouette emerges from the machine and slowly plods forward, emitting a raspy gurgling sound as it flails its various appendages.
"What...What is it?!" cries one of the scientists.
no subject
He squeals, "It's the thing from the place beyond space, run!"
The people in the movie don't take his advice. Instead, the main scientist simply stands and says, "What have we done?" as a single tear runs down his cheek.
no subject
The creature, still enshrouded in spooky fog, seems to reach out towards them while speaking a bizarre alien tongue. Whatever it's trying to communicate is lost on the scientists who continue to stand around being terrified.
no subject
As the screaming fades, there's a shot of a pair of glasses and a slowly spreading pool of what is probably meant to be blood, but looks an awful lot like hot sauce.
Blades peeks through his fingers. "Is it over?"
no subject
She says she thinks so because she wasn't looking at the screen herself. Once the screaming started, Pilouette had squeezed her eyes shut, tugging on her ponytail with one hand and nervously cramming popcorn into her mouth with the other. When she finally looks back at the screen and lays her eyes upon the bloody (or saucey) scene, she cringes. After all, if they couldn't show what happened on screen, that means it must be really bad, right?
"Oh, ew, ewwwww, that stuff is so totally everywhere...!!"
no subject
The movie fades out on the grisly scene... and fades in on flashing police lights! They're not at the scene of the crime, no, they're in high-speed pursuit of a figure on a motorcycle. The camera pans over the back of the figure's jacket, helpfully emblazoned with the words 'BAD BOY'. Then it's up to his helmetless head, wearing a pair of cool shades and his long, lustrous black hair whipping about in the wind.
Could handsome chap be the movie's protagonist? Signs point to yes.
The chase comes to an end when the bad boy uses some garbage conveniently shaped like a ramp to vault over a fence, leaving the police car to crash into it instead.
Blades laughs. "If Chase were here, he'd be naming all the laws that guy just broke!"
no subject
She watches as the bike lands with a thud and its rider whips off his shades dramatically. He truly is too cool for school.
Sorry about the slow reply! Rough week
It seems there's been a streak of mysterious disappearances in the area!
Blades gives a little gasp. "I bet those are because of the Thing!"
No worries!
The cashier expresses her worries aloud. Such a sudden series of disappearances is so very alarming, especially with so few leads. She leans on the counter and tosses her hair as she turns to Bad Boy. With all this shifty business about, maybe he's got something interesting to say.
Re: No worries!
Bad Boy speaks, flashing her a grin, perfect teeth glinting in the light. "Don't worry, Sweet Cheeks. With me around ain't nothing gonna hurt you."
He clearly isn't worried about all these mysterious disappearances!
"I'm not sure if he's brave or stupid," Blades adds. "Maybe both."
no subject
If some guy ever called her "sweet cheeks," Pilouette likes to think she wouldn't stand for it. However, Bad Boy is pretty smooth with his cool jacket and cool shades and super cool hair. He's almost too cool.
"Well, I guess I got nothin' to worry about then!" the cashier replies with a laugh. Still she glances back at the report, with a slight frown.
no subject
The pair flirt and chat a little longer, before Bad Boy convinces the gal to go on a date - "Oh, fine, but just this once." - with him. The movie cuts to later that night in the girl's house. She's getting ready for her big date!
But the camera begins moving through the hallways, like the viewpoint of something creeping through the house. Blades bites the tips of his fingers as he watches, the camera peering into the girl's room, slowly approaching... Something jumps at the girl and she screams! Blades also screams!
...It's just her cat.
Well, now he feels sheepish.
no subject
The girl breathes a sigh of relief and laughs at herself as she shakes her head at the cat. "Oh, you...! What was I getting so scared for anyway...?"
She primps and preens a moment longer before a knock is heard at the door. She goes to answer, with a loud "Be right there!" However as she leaves the room, a vaguely eerie tune plays softly as a strange shadow moves past the window. The cat bristles up and lets out a brief hiss before scuttling out of the room.
no subject
She opens the door, Blades gasps-! And it's only Bad Boy. The two chat, and head out on their date on the motorcycle, and there's only a bit more eerie music as something watches them leaves.
"You know, I'm almost disappointed," Blades says.
no subject
It's not as if it's a particularly boring film, but compared to that opening scene, it's certainly slowed down a bit. Though, she's kind of glad it's not as scary as she thought it was. The last thing she needs is to start having nightmares.
The girl holds on to Bad Boy tightly as they speed along the road, laughing and smile the whole way. Could love be blossoming here on this motorcycle ride? Perhaps. However, there's no time to think about that now as the camera moves to the viewpoint of someone...or something behind the two, speeding towards them!
no subject
The girl glances back for a moment and echoes Blades's gasp. She screams out, "What is that?!"
Bad Boy looks back as well, and shouts, "Holy cow!" because apparently hot sauce blood is okay in this movie, but swearing is frowned upon. He revs the motorcycle hard and beings to speed up, trying to out-race their unseen pursuer!
no subject
He turns his eyes back to the road and begins zig-zagging dangerously across the road in an attempt to lose whatever is chasing them. The girl screams dramatically each time he swerves, occasionally looking back fearfully. Their pursuer seems to grow closer with each moment.
Pilouette tenses up, leaning forward apprehensively. "Come on, come on...! Go go gogogo!"
no subject
Glancing forward again, the girl suddenly screams, "Look out, the bridge is out!"
"That's what I was counting on," Bad Boy says and guns the motorcycle forward and pops a wheelie to bust through the wooden barrier in his way. Then he executes another fantastic jump, leaping the large gap in the bridge which had apparently collapsed for some reason.
no subject
She turns away from the screen as the motorcycle sails through the air in slow motion, only daring to peek back at it when she hears the reassuring thud signaling that it's landed safely on the other side. There's a loud screech of tires as the bike skids to a halt, Bad Boy turning the bike to look behind them...only to find that their pursuer has vanished.
The girl sighs in relief, but a frown crosses Bad Boy's face. He's not quite convinced that they're in the clear. As the two turn and speed off once more, a shadowy appendage appears from under the gap in the bridge along with an eerie gurgling. Pilouette lets out a quiet whine.
no subject
"What was that?!" the girl asks.
"I don't know," Bad Boy says. "But I'm gonna find out."
Their date ruined, Bad Boy takes her home. Sighing, the girl walks into her house... Then screams shrilly! There's
hot sauceblood everywhere!"Mom? Dad? Nooooooooooo!"
Blades gapes in horror.
