How quaint. You mean to attack my identity? I'll grant it is very unique. I'm surprised you were capable of such creativity. As I said your approach is very . . . quaint. I would consider myself impressed except you failed to follow up your own statement, which means that is your limitation. Among your many, I'm sure.

Now, let's try my approach, shall we? Either one of you explain my presence here or I will start my own attacks. And I always follow them up with something concrete.

[Well what?]

Right. Movie.

[Jumping up, he starts sorting through the piles.]

Do you want to watch a story about a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? Or would you prefer something more existential that makes you think? This movie's kind of sad but the songs are nice. Or there's some good animated ones with a lot of...talking animals.

I'll defer to your expertise.

Star Wars it is.

[He puts the DVD in and waits for the menu to appear.]

I can't believe I'm the one who's going to spoil you, Loki, on the big plot twist.

[thatboyisamonster]

Spoil me?

[ ACTION ]

[freezespirited]

You'll see what I mean.

[He presses play and flies off to the kitchen to fix the popcorn, returning with a bowl of it and several drinks for Loki to choose from.]

I have no idea what you like.

I have no idea what these are.

[ ACTION ]

[freezespirited]

They're drinks. [He opens one and offers it to Loki.]

Look! The opening intro.

[ eyeing it warily first ]

That is a lot of exposition.

[freezespirited]

This floating text is famous. It's not all exposition, don't worry.

Famously dull at the pace it's going.

[freezespirited]

It's an entirely different world. There's a lot to explain.

Re: [ ACTION ]

[thatboyisamonster]

World? It is in space. What world?

[ ACTION ]

[freezespirited]

Uh, galaxy. It saves some confusion--look! Space battle!

Doesn't get good just yet.

They seem to have awful luck.

[freezespirited]

It wouldn't be much of a movie if it was easy for them.

Re: [ ACTION ]

[thatboyisamonster]

Why is that?

[ ACTION ]

[freezespirited]

The heroes are meant to struggle. It builds a sense of sympathy and keeps our interest as an audience. If the bad guys weren't much of a threat, the story would end too fast. And that would be boring.

Re: [ ACTION ]

[thatboyisamonster]

Those poor heroes.

[freezespirited]

Why do I find your lack of compassion disturbing.

Re: [ ACTION ]

[thatboyisamonster]

Many do. And many found my compassion disturbing. Either way, I don't win.

[freezespirited]

Why do you care?
