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 trust you." He squeezes her hand when she takes it, offering up a smile. There's a huff at the offer and he shifts in a little bit closer.

"Well-- I don't know. Might be a good idea to start with a kiss, right? Or is that a first date only thing?"

"As you should, darling." There's no reason for her to be a danger to him anyway.

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."

There's no reason, no. Not unless she gets possessed again.

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."

Maeve lets out a soft laugh. "Maybe that's the point." And...well...if he's not going to make the first move, she's far from past the point of just waiting to see what happens next. Don't mind her as she grabs hold of the front of his shirt and pulls him in for a kiss.

That is definitely a kiss, isn't it? One he meets easily enough, shifts closer to press a hand to her waist and draw her in a little bit more. Kissing is a hell of a lot easier than talking.
