📺 Third Broadcast 📺

[There's the sound of a clap here, one accomplished meeting of palms.]


Good evening, Drifters...!

Are your evenings feeling a little dull? Do you find yourself with extra time? Sick of staring at a fucking wall, dick in your hand, counting the cracks and waiting for sunrise, when the Convoy fires up again and we all carry on to whatever fresh Hell awaits us down the road?

Then allow me to interrupt your evening routine with a formal invitation: Aboard the Convoy itself at 7 sharp on a nightly basis, I will be putting up a screen to air one of a number of movies I keep among a personal collection. Action flicks, thrillers, horror, mystery, comedy, monsters marauding through the cities, and so much more are on offer, and will be selected at random for a little kick!

Got a request for a particular movie? Weeell, that's a little tricky considering we're all from different worlds, but I guarantee I probably have something a little close to what you're craving if you give me a synopsis to mull on.

In the future, once it stops being cold enough to freeze off your fingers and toes, my plan is to take the movie nights outside in a drive-in format, allowing all to tune in to the evening's offer from the comfort of their respective vehicles. Wouldn't that be nice...?

At any rate, I plan on starting things off tomorrow night with one of my personal favorite films, so give it a little thought.

But rest assured: You can trust me with your entertainment!

...

Oh, and if you see a big iguana-looking monster running around here, he's a new Drifter and kind of a Big Deal. He's also a good boy, so don't be an asshole.

[Lucy is admittedly a bit of a movie buff, having seen a whole fifteen (!) movies. Of course, she had seen all those movies with her dad, and he had turned out to be an asshole, so all of those memories were a little... not to be dwelled on at the moment. But, perhaps she could make new memories.

Had Max ever even seen a movie?]

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Would you happen to have any old romance movies?

[Pre-war ones, from when the men were kind, the women beautiful and the earth not irradiated to hell.]

[trust_us_with_your]

Why, thank you, ma'am...!

[KIND. You hear that? Kind. Oh, he likes you already.]

That I do! Got a little melodrama, some romantic comedies among others... you say 'old', but what- what decade are we talking, here?

[vaultless]

Which decade...? [A thoughtful hum, but it's not like Lucy can narrow it down much further.] Oh, anything pre-Great War would do. Though, well, I guess it's not like there are post-war movies.

[At least, she doesn't think so. The people in the wasteland don't seem to have the, uh, bandwidth to be making movies when they are busy killing and looting each other.]

[trust_us_with_your]

...Hhhhuh...

Color me curious- what year was the Great War? Getting a hunch that we've got historical forks in the road, here.

[solitarysoul]

I haven't really seen any movies but I kinda of wanted to. I think this is a great idea.

[trust_us_with_your]

No time like the present! It's the perfect way to unwind after a particularly shitty day.

[solitarysoul]

That is most of the days here.

[trust_us_with_your]

HAH! And now you know why I'm doing this nightly!

[propatriamori]

You've met the big lad then?

[Movies are exciting and all, but so are new Drifters who are giant lizard monsters.]

I have as well. I believe he's going to be a part of the Swarm.

[trust_us_with_your]

Biggest lad! He goes by 'Godzilla'.

You lost me with 'Swarm'. Something I should know about?

[propatriamori]

His name is Godzilla? Good to know, thank you.

[Somehow Edward had missed that in his interactions with the big guy.]

The Swarm is a type of monster here. Insectoid, like myself. Godzilla and I were able to use the hive mind quite easily, so it seems as though he'll be a member of the Swarm.

[alittlebeastliness]

So what's your favorite movie? Don't hold out on us!

text @CacheoftheDay

[trust_us_with_your]

Easy- "Jaws" is a marvel. Nothing unnecessary, you've got your suspense, building tension, and Bruce looked great!

Wanted to buy the guy, but couldn't get anyone to budge on parting with the animatronic.

[alittlebeastliness]

What a shame.

[It's not easy to convey sarcasm through text, so alas, she'll have to live with the possibility that he thinks she means that.]

Should I ask about the rest of your collection? Where did you even find movies here?

[trust_us_with_your]

Damned shame.

Personal storage! I'm not entirely organic. I've seen so many movies so many times that I decided to save time and get them downloaded into my systems! Saves a bit of shelf space, though I can't confess to having empty shelves back home. Sometimes you still want hard copies for collection purposes.

[faceguy]

[Oh sweet, someone has movies around here?]

Got any sci-fi?

[trust_us_with_your]

One of the best genres! What's your flavor? I've got a blend with adventure, horror, mystery, ✨ drama ✨...!

[faceguy]

Adventure, usually. Especially if it has that seventies' cheese. But really, I'm down for anything.

[If it's got spaceships or robots he's in.]

Martial arts movies are good, too. I don't guess they have Lou Jitsu films where you're from, though, huh? [Since he hasn't had any luck finding any other worlds with them.]

[trust_us_with_your]

Hmmm... so Tron or War of the Worlds could be up your alley depending on pacing preference...

Lou Jitsu doesn't ring a bell, I'm afraid- definitely gotta be a 'your world' thing- but we got the likes of Bruce Lee! Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon are a couple of his best, in my humble opinion. First is a revenge story, second is a crime-busting story undercover while entering a martial arts tournament.

[bufudine]

[Oh damn, movie night? He's really missed watching shows with SecUnit so this has definitely caught his interest. This is exciting!]

I'll be there.

What's an iguana?

[There's definitely been some new faces around...]

[trust_us_with_your]

It's a kind of lizard. The guy I'm talking about is a giant lizard with spiny plates running down his back. He can understand a few words, in my experience, so he's pretty clever.

[bufudine]

I see.

[He... doesn't. What is a lizard??? But the extra information does help Serph realise that he has seen the guy in question in teh distance.]

What movie would you recommend to someone who hasn't watched one before?

[saisdoesmatter]

I'm down for a flick or two but where'd you find the movies?

Or do you have backups like...embedded in you?

[trust_us_with_your]

The latter! I watch so many movies that I decided it'd be faster to just have them on my literal person. Saves shelf space.

Got classics, modern flicks and franchises! Media is sort of my thing.

[saisdoesmatter]

Doesn't that cramp your memory? Having all that within you?

I mean I'm not gonna complain if you got action flicks in there. The more explosions the better, but doesn't that like...hurt or...?
