Country roads, take me home
Who: Steven Grant and open - start your own subthreads and stuff
What: Studio Ghibli movie night
Where: Cabin 135
When: early December
Warnings: none so far
After subjecting Marc and Maeve to Ghibli nights, Steven has widened his circle of suffering to include a few other people. What was going to be 'come over and watch My Neighbour Totoro?' became a proper whole evening at Steven and Marc's cabin. They spent the afternoon tidying up the room, returning a bunch of library books and keeping the rest of his stash in a corner on the other side of the bed. Clean laundry put away, a small load of dirty clothes taken down to the wash. The ankle cuff and bungee cord is stashed away in the cupboard alongside their small emergency hoard of water, snacks and food in case they have to lock themselves in their cabin one day for weeks on end. Bathroom tidied up as well, with extra toilet paper stacked on top of the cistern in anticipation of several guests.
The cabin is still small in spite of their cleanup efforts, and Steven insists on having some snacks available, so for savoury options there's baby carrots and celery sticks with hummus dip, potato skins, kumara fries and cassava chips, and mango sticky rice and pan fried cinnamon bananas for something sweet. It's not exactly going to be the healthiest night in terms of food, but half a dozen people sitting knee to knee in a claustrophobic little cabin crying at children's anime is surely going to make up for that and be healthy for all of them.
The programme for the night is Steven's Studio Ghibli box set, although he only has one DVD player and one television so they need to pick their movies wisely since they'll only be able to watch two or three. They're always welcome to come back next time to watch more. Steven's recommending more Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke, and less Grave of the Fireflies and When Marnie Was There. They don't really want to be crying into their bowl of vegan snacks every 15 minutes...

"I've never been in the dating pool," she replies with a hint of amusement. "So I guess I'm new to all of this, too." Technically speaking. The only relationship she's ever had was Hector and that was a different beast altogether.
"I think communication, like with most things, will be important either way." It's the part she's vaguely concerned about with both of them because they might communicate semi-openly with her, but she's not sure how well they do with each other. "Honest communication."

"Gotta be honest, then. I don't do that whole... honesty thing real well. It's always just been easier to-- not, in my experience. People see wat I really am, I either end up hurting them or they realize I'm insane and they're better off far away."

There's a soft look from her at this moment of honesty. "Then I guess it's something we'll have to work on. Perhaps back home it would be different and people would be different. But if you can trust anyone on this boat, I'd say Steven and I are reasonable choices." She reaches over for his hand. "If there's something you want from me, from us, just tell me. Emotionally, sexually, whatever. I'll do the same for you." She doesn't say he should do the same with Steven, but it's heavily implied.

"Well-- I don't know. Might be a good idea to start with a kiss, right? Or is that a first date only thing?"
no subject
Maeve feels herself smiling a little at the question. "Well, I hardly know if it is a first date only thing, but if it is, I think I can bend the rules a little. For you."
no subject
But hopefully that's not happening again anytime soon.
Easier to move in a little bit closer to her though, smiling in return. "C'mon. You're gonna make me think I'm special or something, talking like that."
