(open) let's go see that silver screen, flickers pass on a nighttime reel

[initiates]

Date & Time: Sunday April 21st, Evening.
Location: Renovated art movie theatre a few blocks into the city, away from the Hold and closer to the Thames.
Characters: any & all
Summary: Welcome to the grand opening of the Usual Place Movie Theatre! Tonight we're showing a mostly faithful rendition of Crank as restored by Billy, with refreshments available at minimal cost via Charlie's ingenuity and Collette's general statement that no movie is complete without access to popcorn. Please enjoy the show!
Warnings: Crank is a ridiculous film if you've ever seen it. That is technically PG-13/R, but the log itself should be much more tame!
Notes: Action, prose, or gif-spam each other at will. Just have fun with the first up and running movie theatre in Exsilium since goodness knows when!

Is there a lotta kirins? And I'm guessin' that whole thing where ya can't see unicorns unless yer pure or whatever don't work with you guys, huh?

[holy_prankster]

There are only a small number of us. [The world would be out of balance with too many!

The question did have him chuckling while he turned back to his human form.] We have no interest in virgins, if that's what you mean~ we aren't a shy race, but the human race does not understand, so we move hidden among them.

[charming_jerk]

Yeah, humans refuse to understand most shit. I don't blame ya there.

[holy_prankster]

It makes it easier for my kind, and other like me, to live without being hunted or caged.

Did you know that entire countries would go to war to get a kirin to favour their leader?

[charming_jerk]

...Why? Whattaya do that's so in-demand?

[holy_prankster]

We kirin bring fortune to those we recognize and can grant them any wish they desire.

[charming_jerk]

Well shit. Bring some goof fortune to this dump, then. We friggin' need it.

[holy_prankster]

Oh but it's far more exciting to watch how this unfolds~

[Besides, he doesn't even take orders from the sole human he is meant to follow.]

[charming_jerk]

Maybe for you, but for the rest of us it kinda sucks. And the sooner everything's fixed, the fast people can go home.

[holy_prankster]

Because it is not my place to fight the war for humans. Life flows as it always has been, and all the souls who meet their end in this war ultimately return to the Wheel of Life.

[charming_jerk]

[He doesn't seem too pleased with the answer.] Except that for us Transports, they somehow zap us all back to life. Can't speak for the civilians around us, though.

[holy_prankster]

Is this true life?

[charming_jerk]

True enough, ain't it? People look pretty damned alive to me.

[holy_prankster]

Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. This could merely be an echo of what once was, or even a memory or dream held within the mind of another. There are many different possibilities.

[charming_jerk]

[He shakes his head.] I dunno if the Initiative works on that kinda level, but who the hell knows. I know someone they brought back to life and she seems the same as ever.

[holy_prankster]

[Sohki chuckled at that. There weren't many who could see the possibilities of the world around them. They were usually so very much younger.]

Anything is possible!
