[ monday mornings are always the time for exploration, but it's probably not much of a surprise that jonas gravitates toward stuff that's familiar. this is what happens today and he finds himself in front of the movie theater, looking up to see if he can determine what kind of films are playing.
he's not opposed to going to movies alone, but they're always better with another person. this is what he's thinking when he spots amelia and waves to her. ]
New or familiar to you? [ some people have versions of movies, so he's curious. ]
[ help. he tries not to laugh, but he keeps his demeanor pretty light and easygoing as he gestures with a hand. ]
This is a movie theater. Usually you have to pay to go see one, but looks like we got off the hook here. It's like...a place you go where you can watch a story told through a bunch of moving pictures.
Yeah. Yeah, close to a play but it's not live. We can and should definitely go watch one though? I don't know when we're going to get the chance to take a break this week besides today anyway.
[ because the new pattern is always rules on tuesday, missions on wednesdays, erasures thursday night, investigation friday, trial saturday and public erasure sunday. it's pretty draining and even knowing they should focus on things and knowing that nothing will change the loss of everyone from this weekend...it's hard not to want to pause for a second. ]
There's a lot to pick from. Like...more than usual? Which is weird but I'm not questioning it.
Man. That's a tough choice. [ especially for someone who isn't always confident in his choices in the first place. ] You probably want something with some kind of adventure, right? Good guys always win.
[ truly could make amelia watch zenon. that is a thing. but he is mostly Gauging what she might find interesting. ]
in all seriousness i hate to say but jonas is a teenage boy and also sometimes has terrible taste, so when they get into the theater he leads her up to the top in the back row and settles down. ]
I guess we could've got snacks, but the movie's starting soon.
[ and the lights dim...and they watch wild wild west with varying degrees of enthusiasm. ]
[ also valid tbh. anyway this is. genuinely so funny to him? honestly half of the entertainment is watching amelia herself, and unfortunately jonas is sometimes That Person which means he'll occasionally whisper commentary after very cool sequences or point out something she might have missed while being starry-eyed over something else.
never mind this is truly an a+ movie experience and he's here for it.
eventually, the lights come up as the credits roll and he tilts his head to look at her curiously. ]

What about something like this?
no subject
... It kind of makes me think of Livio.
no subject
