Well, movie night sure is a thing

One nice thing about not having to worry about murderous frat boys or TV heads with big egos (aside from the obvious "we're not in danger") is that the hotel has time for a good old-fashioned movie night. Charlie's snuggled up on one end of the couch with Vaggi, Angel is draped all over Husk, Cherri's a bit of a distance from them with Pentious's picture on her lap, and Niffty's draped over Baxter's lap.

There's also a lot of junk food since everyone has different preferences. Oreos, popcorn, various kinds of candy, soda, and of course booze.

The movie itself, however...while Charlie isn't as flaily about it as she would have been in the past, it's not something she would have picked on her own! It happened to be on TV and Cherri and Husk recognized it instantly and Angel's eyes lit up almost as fast.

It's apparently a sex comedy but the title has "Horror" in it, and while it's definitely suggestive...

"Were they acting badly on purpose? I feel like they put more actual passion into their singing." That's a big reason the movie can stay, nothing where the characters break out in song every five minutes can be that bad!

"Nah. I think the actors were takin' it seriously." Husk smirks a bit, tossing some popcorn at Niffty because he can.

He's been watching everyone's reactions, smirking quite a lot. Honestly, he can't wait until Time Warp.

Angel may have seen this movie once at V Tower, but that's not the reason he's pouting every so often between sips of watermelon vodka and scraping the icing off an Oreo.

"I swear, between Queen and The Price of Salt and now this, all the good queer stuff came out after I croaked! If I'd known this'd happen I woulda gone into rehab sooner!" He flicks a piece of popcorn at Vaggi. "Turn your halo down!"

"Did they...not realize what they were in?" Baxter questions. His frame of reference for films is even smaller, of course, talkies weren't even around when he died.

"If I knew how to turn it down, I would!" Vaggi grumps, as Niffty grabs a blanket and puts it over Vaggi's head. "... thanks, Niffty."

A pause as she eats an Oreo, licking the filling out. "I think I like Earth movies if this is what we get." She snorts a bit at Brad and Janet singing. "They're going to break up. I'm calling it now."

"I'd disagree, but sadly, Brad's the poster child for the bland nice guys who get the shaft in these movies," Charlie sighs.

"Unless one of 'em dies," Cherri offers. "Or maybe I'm thinkin' of slashers!" She crunches a cherry-flavored Jolly Rancher. Angel snorts, sipping his drink and leaning against Husk.

"It's been a while since I saw this one but I'm pretty sure it turns out a bit more interesting than that!"

"Definitely slashers, Cherri." Husk snorts. "Unfortunately, that bland ass makes it through the movie."

He shakes his head. "What she sees in that jerk is beyond me. He's less interesting than an empty glass."

Angel does sort of remember what happens, but not very clearly. Anytime recreational time he spent with the Vees, he was either high as fuck or...occupied by Val. It'll be nice to actually see the ending this time.

"Least he can sing okay. But the best part of the whole movie's comin' up!"

"Oh yeah, now I remember! The guy in the leather corset!" Cherri says. "I saw this with a date once, she and I got totally wasted. Then HBO found out she was stealin' their service and they cut it off."

"Leather corset?" Vaggi smirks. "Now that sounds nice. Although, why it's wasted on a dude, I don't know."

Niffty snorts, eye wide. "Oooooh, is bland man going to wear a corset?"

"I hope not! Corsets on men are just wrong!" Baxter snorted, showing his old-fashioned values.

"If he did, maybe it'd make him less bland," Charlie said, biting into a strawberry Pop Tart.

"Pfft, not him. But someone hotter and with a way sexier voice," Cherri said. "Just watch, it's gonna rule!"

Husk rolls his eyes. "Oh come on, Baxter. You can't tell me that the thought of a leather corset on someone is interesting." He smirks at Angel for a moment, then goes back to his drink. "Cherri's right. It's gonna get good."

Odd, really, seeing Husk actually enthused about something.

Angel winks right back. He hasn't put on a leather corset get-up since that damn video he made with Val, but one of these days he'll get an even sexier version of that outfit and wear it for Husk.

"Women complained about those ghastly things, why would a man enjoy them?!" It was the turn of the century and Baxter is...very familiar with the ladies he knew griping about them.

"Ooh, here comes Magenta! I think I know what's comin' up!"

Vaggi shrugs. Fashion has never been her thing. Half the time Charlie dresses her. She makes a bit of an amused face as Magenta comes on. "Oh, come on. Isn't anyone in this movie hot?"

Niffty giggles. "Crazy maid! Like me!"

"Ooh, Columbia's rocking a pretty nice outfit," Charlie says with a grin. Something that might look hot on Vaggi, if she were up for it.

"Now she's one I can get interested in." Baxter has a soft spot for crazy maids. Especially the one on his lap.

Niffty eyes Columbia's shorts and grins. "Everyone needs those shorts! I'll make some!"

Husk shakes his head. "Not for me, Niff, but I'll pay you good if you can get Alastor in a pair." He's pretty sure Angel would wear them without even being asked.

He absolutely would, Angel's been reclaiming his confident sexuality and it feels amazing. The way Husk looks at him is a big part of it, of course.

"Get Al into a pair and show it to Vox so he'll combust over it," he snickers. He's getting over what the Vees did to him but sometimes he can't help making jabs at Mr. TV Head. He wasn't the only one Vox was fucking with after all.

"Now that's a butler!" Cherri grins. "Wonder if I can talk Pent into donnin' something like that sometime for a selfie."

Vaggi smirks. "Well, I could probably help with that, Cherri. Not sure if I could convince him to, but I'd take the picture."

Turning to Charlie, she kisses her on the cheek. "You want to see me in that, don't you? I might. As long as no one outside of this room sees me." She's got some confidence, but it's mostly for her girl and her friends.

Niffty giggles. "I'll try! That's a good way to annoy the tablet!"

"You bet I do, and it'll be just for us," Charlie whispers, giving her girlfriend a suggestive look.

"Oh! Here comes one of the parts I remember most!" Cherri said, as Magenta, Columbia, and Riff-Raff begin to break into song. "Two in a row, actually, cause once we meet the best character, well..."

Husk smirks. "Oh, definitely." He glances at Angel with a bit of a wicked grin on his face, then gets up and holds out a hand to Cherri. "Wanna show everyone how it's done?"

Wait. Is Husk going to... dance?

Cherri grins, leaping up and tossing her empty vodka bottle aside. "You bet, kitty!" And Angel looks on with a very intrigued smile, he's got a feeling he's gonna like this!

Baxter just rolls his eyes, he's used to musicals now thanks to the hotel, but he's never seen a kitty cat dance with a ponytailed bomb-tossing demon before!

Vaggi laughs, the blanket falling off of her halo. Her eyes widen at the screen, and then at Husk dancing. Well, that's not something she thought she'd ever see.

Getting up, she holds a hand out to Charlie. "Wanna try?" The instructions are right there in the song, how hard can it be?

"Let's do it!" Normally she's very private about these things but she's getting caught up in the spirit of things. Plus, she and Vaggi can do an even sexier version later when they're alone!

Cherri's got her phone filming this as much as it can, she's so gonna send the video to Pentious. Especially anytime it captures her boobs bouncing, she knows he's fond of her "big bombs".

Niffty gets up and starts dancing as well. "Come on, smart boy! Don't be a downer!"

Husk looks more relaxed than he has in quite a while, just enjoying dancing with Cherri and not having to worry about anything. He waves a hand, and he's wearing a sparkly top hat. Because he can.

WOW. Angel is tempted to get up and join in but he's too spellbound by Husk's performance. It's funny, he can't help laughing, but it's also incredibly sexy and he's got one leg adjusted to hide the effect it's having on him.

"I-I can't dance!" Baxter flails a little, his social life mostly consisted of stuffy book clubs or scientist gatherings. Plus, even if he did know how to dance it'd be the ballroom variety. But he's having a good time watching Niffty!

"Neither can I!" Niffty bounces, but the song is over soon enough and she settles down back with Baxter.

Vaggi is a bit breathless as they sit down, but pulls Charlie into her lap, feeling more than a bit affectionate. "Alright, that was fun. We need to watch more movies that we can dance to."

Maybe another time he'll give it a shot. Maybe. Baxter just smiles, glad Niffty has enough boldness for the both of them.

"I know, right?" Charlie snuggles close, grinning. "I wish we'd discovered this sooner!" And then, a man in a corset, booty shorts, pearls, and makeup enters the scene...with another music cue.

"Oh hell yeah! Fuck Brad, this guy's the real hero of the movie!" Cherri yells.

"He's the best. Had a drag queen in my casino once that ran around in that getup. It was awesome." Husk sits back down, reaching out for Angel to pull him close and make sure he's ok.

"Actually, Baxter, you might like this guy. Some of what he gets up to is... science shit that's way beyond me."
