It's Time To Play The Music!

[stridercentric]

Who: Bro Strider (stridercentric), Dirk Strider (shippingmath), Dave Strider (beatdownremix) and Davesprite (cawcawmthrfckrs).
When: The evening of June 12.
Where: The Strider pad (Yutopil building, eighth floor, apartment six)
Style: Action.
Status: Closed to the Striders.

[With Jake English being taken from Vatheon yet again and Dirk acting like it wasn't such a big deal, Bro figured it was time to put one of his plans in motion. What better way to bring the family together and cheer up his alternate self than with puppets? Hell, he knows that'd bring a smile to his own face if he were in Dirk's shoes and he likes to think that the two of them very similar in that aspect. That's where Muppet movie night comes in. Striders only, attendance mandatory. It's something he'd been hoping to do for a while now anyway, he just figured he'd save it for a special occasion.

Of course, Bro made sure to take all the necessary preparations. There's an abundance of snack food, soda, AJ and a stack of DVDs that'll play nicely on their big screen TV, which means they're ready to roll. Bro is taking a seat on the couch, of course, feet up on the table and Lil Cal by his side. Barkbeast the robot puppy is lying in a doggie bed in the corner, its gaze following the other Striders. Bro doesn't care too much where everyone else sits, so long as they're careful they don't park their butts in a stray ninja star. Those little buggers tend to get lost between the couch pillows.]

Comments

[By now, Bro's starting to become aware that Dave (and Davesprite by proxy) is no longer as cool with puppets as he used to be. Just another one of those reminders that his little bro's growing up and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. He's not about to turn his own puppet love down for Dave's sake, either. Or Davesprite's. They're both going to keep having to put up with this for as long as Bro's around.]

True fact. There is nothing better than this. [Puppets, Dave. Beautiful majestic puppets going on an adventure!]

[shippingmath]

[Bro, at least, has gained Dirk to share an interest in puppets with, though Dirk's ability to get along with different versions of himself is somewhat questionable.

He snags a handful of popcorn from Bro's wide array of snacks.]

Noted. Waiting around for a movie to start is the best thing in your universe.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Not everybody can have the benefit of being four centuries ahead of the cinematic game. Probably a good thing, otherwise John'd find something worse to replace Con Air.

[God he hopes that it takes John another three years or so before that happens. Davesprite needs a respite after that episode.]

What're we watching first, again?

[beatdownremix]

There's only a few things that are worse than Con Air.

[If John ever starts liking Dane Cook movies, Dave's going to have to stage an intervention. He can deal with one best bro liking that talentless fuck, he won't stand for two.]

Someone just hit play and find out which one's in there already.

[stridercentric]

On it.

[The remote's in Bro's hand in less than a second so he can press Play. He already knows what's in the DVD player, though. It's The Great Muppet Caper. Can't go wrong with a classic!]

[shippingmath]

[When Bro starts the movie, Dirk settles in and falls silent. Years of watching with no one to comment on it with means that he's generally pretty silent during screentime, though livestreaming movies with Jake and so on means he can get irritatingly chatty if text is involved.

When they're done with the muppets, Dirk might just suggest some SBaHJ. He's in company that will appreciate it, after all.]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[All the Muppet movies are nostalgic classics for the Dirk side of the family. Still, Davesprite will just be quiet as he sips his drink.

As this is the Strider family, he has a feeling the silence will quickly devolve into a cacophony of something like MST3K.]
