MCA #0, Thursday Night (Movie Night)

[needsaparrot]

To say it'd been a weird couple of weeks for a lot of his friends would be an understatement. Xander knew a movie night wasn't going to magically fix that, but it least it would give them a chance to relax a little.

So he had the basic necessities: popcorn, stuff in the kitchen for more substantial snacks, over-caffeinated soda and, of course, movies. The box of his things that had arrived from storage this week contained most of his dvds, not that he'd amassed all that many since Sunnydale went boom, but certainly enough for tonight.

And Harper had been nice enough to leave the place furnished with a less than basic necessity - the huge tv in the den. Xander wasn't about to claim this job didn't have perks.

So now he (and Jeremiah, who was supervising the proceedings from a table near the couch) was just waiting for people to show up.

"Hey people," Bridge greets the room as he enters and claims a comfy spot on the couch.

Buffy found herself a nice spot as well. She smiled at Bridge. "Hi."

"Hey Buffy," Bridge grins back and holds out the medium-ish bowl of popcorn that he's claimed as "his" so Buffy can grab some if she wants.

"Yay popcorn!" Buffy said approvingly, reaching out to grab a handful. She was starting to relax. This wasn't so bad at all.

"It's buttery," he informs Buffy, with the fingerwiggle of course. "How're you?" Bridge asks. The last time they'd been in the same place at the same time, there had been creepy space cannibals, after all.

Buffy might still be slightly bitter that they weren't really space vampires. She smiled. "I'm good. What about you?" She gave his fingers a puzzled look.

Probably the truth (that it had been a crazy-insane week) wasn't the best idea, considering this was supposed to be a friendly gathering. "There's movies and junk food, what's not to like?" he says with a shrug and a grin. It's still the truth, just... a different one.

"True, true," Buffy agreed and popped a popcorn into her mouth. "Have you met your mentor person yet? Mine is Mr Winchester, Sam's dad, you know? He's pretty cool for an old person."

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I have," Bridge nods. "Though I didn't know she was my mentor at the time. Mine's Ms. Frost."

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

Buffy pondered. "I don't think I've met her. Is she nice?"

"There's sammich-fixings in the kitchen if you guys want more than popcorn," Xander called over.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Bridge says thoughtfully. "That sounds dangerously close to healthy food..."

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[needsaparrot]

"You can always put chips in the sammiches?" Xander suggested. "Makes 'em croonchy." His Swedish Chef impression is bad, but credit for trying maybe?

River waved happily to Bridge.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"River!" Bridge waves back. "Popcorn? It's buttery!" And yet again, fingerwiggle.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River's face lit up. "Popcorn! Yes, please."

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge obligingly hands over the popcorn. "Also? Prime movie-watching spot for the taking," he indicates the empty space next to him.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

River giggled and promptly sat down. Movies and popcorn. she thought to him, smiling contently.

A good start to the weekend, Bridge thinks back. Never mind that technically it wasn't the weekend *yet*. He doesn't have classes Fridays, so Thursday nights are so totally part of the weekend.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

I think this weekend will be less exciting than last. In a good way. River didn't feel like excitement right now.

Re: Food, Mingling, Chattery

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I think I've had enough to last me a while.

This time, River made a sound of agreement in reply.
