forty year old woman seeks nightlife in the monster city

[matchbreaker]

Okay at this point I'll basically take anyone.

[ Wesker is missing. Both her sons are missing. she herself has been injured a few times now and she has freaking super strength. It's the dead of the night and she's resting up in a manor filled with no one but herself and cats. She was intending to go and drink a bottle of wine in her room, but she'd done that too much in the last two weeks and at this point she's just pissed off enough to make a tacky open retrospec post. ]

Anyone over twenty-one, that is.

Someone go out for a drink with me. Or feel free to recommend something else to do right now, I'll take whatever. Be prepared to fend off monster, I suppose.

That's just how life is now I suppose.

[ So I considered making an open action log but I opted not to so feel free to reply here with shitposting, actual responses, or we can transfer over to action in reply chains here, it's all good. ]

i'd like to think i have some sense of self-preservation, so i gotta pass on that.

[ monsters + nighttime combo ain't for him, sadly. ]

[matchbreaker]

It's easier for me at night honestly with these eyes.

Not great

[vitis]

makes sense.

[ oh. ]

right, sorry about that.
i dunno if you'd want to text about it, but you can, if you want. i don't mind. [ though he doesn't know how awkward that'd be for her, because #acquaintances and all, so. ]
i'd suggest watching a movie you like or something, but drinking til you're sick could also do the trick.

[matchbreaker]

It's fine its not like ive made it some big secret

both of my sons are part of those people who vanished. I've not seen or heard from them in two weeks now.

The house is way too big to be just me and the cats.

[vitis]

ah.
yeah, no wonder; i probably would've burned down the city if that happened to any of my family.
:)

they're gonna come back, though.
i'm about 99% certain of it.

[matchbreaker]

I've been doing all I can with the group they put me in, I'm sure the other groups are going hard too. Have you?

[ Burn down the city... huh.

... She can get that, really. ]

[vitis]

[ nothing like wanton, widespread destruction in the name of fam!! ]

of course. never thought i'd be this motivation about it, but we're all fighting for something out there
i've put in way too much effort so far to let this fail.

[matchbreaker]

Good. at least you've got a reason for confidence like that.

... I've been trying a movie for a while they've all just bugged me. Give me some other idea or a movie I've never heard of.

[vitis]

a movie you've never heard of, huh
okay. tell me what sort of genre you like?

[ he's no movie connoisseur (unless she wants a documentary on the evils of capitalism). otherwise, he likes the dumb heartwarming family ones and then... slasher, so he's hoping it's neither of those. it'd give him a fighting chance. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ you show her the evils of her wealthy bourgeoisie ways She thinks about it a moment and: ]

action flicks and romances are my favorites, I suppose! I'm up for anything though.

[vitis]

[ perf ]

[ he lists out some reccs for her. the recolle, non-fourthwalling versions of movies like "halloween 1 and 2," "scream," "alice, sweet alice," etc. woo. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ BUT HOW MaNY OF THOSE aRE ON ON DEMaND OR NETFLIX

...

OR aMaZON VIDEO TOO SHE GUESSES TECHNICaLLY SHE PROaBaLY HaS THaT TOO.

... Still she nods and after looking around... ]

oh yeah I can rock these, thanks!

[vitis]

[ listen 8( what even are these fancy streaming services ]

no prob.

[matchbreaker]

[ Current year argument. ]

I'm going to go with Samhain 2

they don't have 1

[ GET IT samhain like halloween im clever not really ]

[vitis]

[ GUFFAWS ]

okay you're not really supposed to watch sequels first
they gotta have one of the other ones.

[ also samhain 2 has a whopping 19% on rotten tomatoes, so that's also fun ]

[matchbreaker]

What, I already started it, how bad could it be?

[vitis]

i know there's this thing called a pause button

[ answer: awful. but okay tbf who watches these horror films for the... plot...??? ... ugh, okay. ]

whatever.
hopefully you're not scared easily or anything.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah but they don't have 1 so it was this or 3.

[ Or just one of the other ones he listed.

... ... Huh, this opening tho. ]

[vitis]

fine.
but disclaimer that it's probably gonna make even less sense.

[ resigned to this fate ]

lemme know what you think when you're finished, if you wanna

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . What the fuck is this.

actually no about 20 or 30 minutes later: ]

yed this barely makes sense so far

[vitis]

i told you!!!

[matchbreaker]

It is pretty spooky though!

That guy got blasted and then woke up!

[vitis]

yeah, there's gonna be a lotta mindless violence
comes with the genre or something.

anyway, enjoy!

[matchbreaker]

So you don't want live updates?

Okay, I will!

[vitis]

i mean, i can't promise i won't fall asleep in the middle of em

[ not that he.. already isn't awake, obviously. ]

but if you don't mind that, then you're free to keep em coming
