[Hey gang, it's Junpei, filming in vertical because he's a terrible millennial. He's at the inn, sitting at a table with a stupid-looking projector which he drums his fingers on occasionally.]

Uh, hey, soooo... that shit all sucked, huh? Yeah. Really did not expect "kill everyone now because I, the mysterious mastermind, said so" would happen a third time.

[To him, personally. He's too new to know if that happened a bunch of times previously here in Aldrip, so that's a Junpei Original as far as he knows. He's including Gnos infection as A Mastermind, it makes sense to him.]

Anyway, whatever, right? Look, I borrowed— this thing, [shakycams down to the projector, whoaoaoao] and it's kind of my birthday this week, so y'know, calling all people who said they wanted to watch some shitty movies...? And good movies, too, I guess.

[A beat.]

I mean, I just thought that movie night thing could be... fun. After the bullshit. If anybody wants to come watch some stuff, in a park or something? Like a drive-in! Get a bunch of snacks and hang out.

...Also, I need someone to help me hang up a sheet.

[He will be watching movies in the park by himself if he must!!]

yeah, that makes sense. it's probably still worth testing out, and you'd hope someone who gets out would come back for the rest of us... i dunno.

still. can't be a perfectly closed system.

[solitarysoul]

the council, or whatever the fuck is running this, is probably outside of it somehow. so at least that has to be reachable.

or, fuck, i don't know. this is all over my head. we didn't even really have computers where i came from.

[coolerjunpei]

well, yeah, if it's a computer program, someone's running it somewhere. that's right. and that would mean we're being held somewhere in the real world, unless....well, let's assume they've got us somewhere first.

[solitarysoul]

some people died before they got here. i maybe did. but its not like we understand any of this, so maybe they can bring back the dead in whatever place they're in too.

[coolerjunpei]

or we're back on the toast world vs. cereal world, and they can cross those lines, too.

that's harder to prove, though... someone'd have to get out before we worry about that.

[solitarysoul]

ugh. this is all so fucking complex and confusing i hate it.

[coolerjunpei]

pretty much.

you can come watch movies with us, though, if you want. can't promise it'll help in the long term, but.....

[solitarysoul]

it sounds fun, it should at least distract us for awhile.

[coolerjunpei]

that's the idea. you got a snack you like? i'm making lists.

[solitarysoul]

chocolate, maybe.

[Or sweets in general, but for some reason that was odd to ask for.]

but i don't really care, i'll eat whatever's there.

[coolerjunpei]

oh come on. i'll find you some chocolate.

[solitarysoul]

you don't have to, but thanks.

do you want me to bring anything?

[coolerjunpei]

maybe your own blanket to sit on, just in case we can't get enough borrowed from the inn.

[solitarysoul]

can do.

let me know when you decide to do this.
