maskormenacelogs | September Catch-all

[ aha, nothing about the story itself? ]

Well, through cameras with really high definition. [ you could see their sweat so really HIGH definition. ] The same way you record a video message with the communicator's camera.

However, a lot of these are also special effects - made with computers.

Fascinating...

[He barely breathes this, eyes going back to the credits for a moment, hoping idly that he might catch another glimpse of the incredible camera work. There's a brief pause, then, and he realizes that he must look something like a child right now in all of this overenthusiastic excitement - he clears his throat, body noticeably stiffening, but when he turns back to Kaneki, there's still something lighter than normal about his expression.]

I suppose you must be quite used to these sorts of things by now. [He doesn't appear to be nearly as impressed.] Did you enjoy it anyway?

[ he has been trying to avoid answering that. When D33 asks him that, kaneki considers a light lie - to tell him yes, so he'd be happy. But... well, he also doesn't want to lie to D33 ]

Camera wise and effects wise it's an okay movie- I mean, there are better, but it wasn't so bad. [ the fur on some of were-creatures looked nice ] The story isn't exactly what I'm used to, though.

[D33 nods a bit at that-- he's almost laughing? Well, there's something like the hint of a smile on his face anyway, and he glances back to the screen, shaking his head.]

What I gathered from the story was utterly ridiculous. [Back to Kaneki, his expression looking a little wry now.] Would that be what you're referring to?

[ kaneki sighs and with cheeks becoming pinkish, he nods ] yes- it was. Absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic in every way.

[Lo and behold, hell freezes over, the oceans rise and flood the earth, pigs fly and the building begins to crumble--

[D33 actually laughs. It's short-lived - little more than a short "ha" - and as quiet as one would expect, but it's there - genuine, perhaps even lighthearted. And he doesn't even attempt to cover his ground once it's over, simply shaking his head back at the screen with that same small smile on his face.]

Ridiculous...[He mutters.]

[ kaneki blinks, surprised to hear an actual laugh from D33. he is not the type to laugh - ever - so this is a whole new side of him Kaneki hadn't seen up until now.

He won't say anything about that, of course, kaneki isn't the type to ruin the moment, but he joins D33's smile with own of his own ]

Well, you seemed to enjoy it a lot.

It was quite an experience for me, regardless.

[D33's smile has faded by now - not entirely disappeared. That is to say, the expression on his face remains mild, somewhat light - not the usual resting scowl that he usually wears.]

Perhaps we might seek to find one with a more tolerable plot one day. [He pauses for a moment, moves his eyes to glance at Kaneki without moving his head.] If I am to be entirely honest with you, I found it a bit hard to absorb most of what was going on between the characters. The scenes surrounding them were a bit...[How to put this...]...overwhelming.

I wouldn't mind that. [ kaneki smiles. He isn't the type to see movies, often preferring books since they leave a lot more to the imagination, but D33 seems so amazed with it, that he really can't help to smile a little and agree to go to another movie soon.

No romance next time, though ]

Maybe after watching a couple more you can follow the story better. However, it's possible to watch movies on the TV and even a computer. [ but the theater is much bigger, much grander, so D33 would probably prefer to watch movies there.

Soon enough the whole room is empty and the credits finish rolling, so it's time for them to leave ] Let's go?

[The man nods, face having fallen back to its normal flat affect - still, though, it doesn't look nearly as cold as it could. He pushes himself up from the seat (keeping his hood on - he really didn't like that staring) and grabs the aftermath of his little snacking frenzy, depositing the trash in one of the bins on his way out.

[Exiting the movie theater, the light of day makes D33 recoil a bit, shielding his eyes as they adjust from the darkness he'd been enduring for the last two hours or so (kind of like when he finally leaves his house after being up all night) - his nose is a little wrinkled when he turns back to Kaneki.]

Is there somewhere else you'd like to go?

[Is that D33...wanting to continue a human interaction? It sort of seems that way. So he's having a good time - sue him. He's never gonna admit it (except he totally already did).]

[ Kaneki follows after, with little issue witht the sun. Being a ghoul had perks like adapting quick to the environment (and even seeing better at night) after all, so light doesn't bother him in the least.

He wasn't expecting to be asked to further the interaction since they already spent a lot of time together at work, but since D33 is asking, Kaneki is ready to offer ]

There is a nice coffee shop by the beach if you'd like to check it out with me.

[Kaneki certainly does have a fondness for coffee shops, doesn't he? Well, D33 supposes that does make sense - after all, coffee is one of the only things he can consume (aside from human flesh). D33 may not be the biggest fan of it himself (he's still yet to try it, in fact), but if this coffee shop is anything like the Café (he assumes it must be), then perhaps they will have a tea that he might find to his liking.]

Very well. [He nods, waits for Kaneki to lead the way. Then, after a moment, he adds.] You know, I don't believe I have yet seen the ocean up close.

[ there is a pause ] Really? You've never been to the beach?

[ oh- but it's so close ] Then, let's go there instead. A walk on the beach doesn't sound so bad, right?

I suppose not. [Again, he wouldn't really know. He considers perhaps mentioning that he isn't able to swim, but-- Being on the beach wouldn't necessarily mean being close to the ocean, right? Perhaps he has nothing to worry about.]

I will follow your lead, Kaneki.

[ kaneki has no plans on swimming. He has no clothes and he refuses to undress in public. But it's fine to take a walk through the beach, right? To at least show D33. ]

Alright, just be careful it has a lot of sand. [ naturally.

So instead of heading to the coffee place, Kaneki takes a detour to the beach, so they can actually get to the sand and take a walk closer to the water ]

[The sand is a bit frustrating at first. Eventually D33 opts to remove his shoes so as to keep them free of it and-- Well, actually. That does feel quite nice on the feet. As they near the ocean though, the man becomes increasingly nervous. He had read about how vast the waters were in books, but even standing here on the shore only watching one stretch of it, the sheer amount of water is simply overwhelming. They're still a good yard or two away from its edge when D33 stops mid-walk, he's glued to the tide lapping up onto the shore and then drifting back out.]

I, ah...[Apparently he sounds as nervous as he looks, but he doesn't want either, so he clears his throat, gets himself together a bit, and tries to think of an excuse as to why he won't go closer.]

Perhaps we might sit here for a moment. This view is quite something.

[ even if the sand is frustrating for kaneki as well, he will not take off his shoes. Or his gloves. Or his long sleeves. So of course he doesn't get too close to the water, he doesn't want to get wet ]

Hm? [ kaneki turns back to D33, looking over his shoulder. After, he nods softly ] Sure, the sun will set soon so it could be good to watch it, too.

[Ah. The sun will be setting soon, won't it? That was always quite something to see out in the open, or at least D33 had found it to be. Underground, they'd had nothing more than a small skylight to watch the sky change through. He'd seen the sun set plenty of times during his missions, sure, but. This was something like freedom, wasn't it? Watching the sun set with someone that he has chosen to spend his time with.

[And the ocean. As frightening as it might be, there is something rather...majestic? Is that the right word? Overwhelming, maybe, would be more apt. He eyes it with a sort of reverent caution as he takes a seat in the sand, resting his arms over his knees and putting his eyes to the sky as if he'll miss the sunset otherwise.

[What a...strangely nice day this has been. He doesn't say so. He's not concerned to. He doesn't dare question the feeling out loud lest it be taken from him. So he'll just stay silent, watching the sky, smelling the salt and burrowing his feet in the sand.]

[ kaneki rarely takes time to see the sun set, so it's a good suggestion indeed. He eventually returns closer to D33 once more and sits down nearby - not too close, he knows D33 doesn't like to be touched - and turns his attention to the sky and the sunset, as well as the sea. Silence is good right now, so kaneki will not say anything else ]
