It was dark outside, mobs groaning as they trudged along the terrain. And inside the rejects base, the four men were relaxing in each other's company. Skizz had just finished setting up the projector, having it face one of the unobstructed walls.
"Suprised that ancient thing actually works."
Joel walks in having been banished from the furnaces by Jimmy as he kept trying to steal the snacks.
"Wh- it's not ancient!"
Skizz replied incredulously, mock anger being instantly drowned out by giggles.
"What are we even watching, anyway?"
"...I was hoping you three would do that part."
"Dude."
BigB speaks, looking up at skizz from his spot nestled between the cushions.
"It's a hard choice!"
Joel scans through the pile of DvD's. There was a variety of genres. Comedy, horror, romance, action, etc.
"How about one of the Bond movies."
"Dude, Bond is so boring."
Joel looks baffled at what had just come out of Skizz's mouth.
"What do you blumming mean Bond's boring?!"
"I said what I said, dude."
Before Joel could strangle Skizz, Jimmy walks out holding a bowl of popcorn.
"You guys picked a movie yet?"
"Jiggles! You pick a movie. Joel's got terrible taste."
"I do not!"
Jimmy moves to sit by BigB, setting the bowl in the others hands as he turns around to search the pile of DvD's littering the floor.
"Mean girls?"
"Okay, Jiggles is banned from picking movies. Bopper?"
"Oi!"
BigB chuckles. This happens every week. The choice is always left down to him which is always a win in his eyes. He scans through the movies before picking one up
"How about 'The darkness'?"
"Dude, a horror?!"
BigB smirked at Skizz's protest.
"What? Chicken?"
"What?! Me? Chicken? Yeah, right!"
Skizz took the DvD and loaded it into the player. The projector flickered to life as the four were soon greeted by the DvD's home screen. They clicked play and the movie began.
An hour later they were halfway through the movie. Joel had fallen asleep around the half an hour mark and Skizz was taking refuge from behind his wings, despite denying it's because of fear whenever anyone asks.
"It's just so freaking cold, dudes!"
He'd say if anyone pointed it out.
"I bet he's going to get her."
True to BigB's prediction, the killer cornered the character and got her.
"B! Stop doing that!"
Jimmy chucked a handful of popcorn at BigB, who just laughed as he picked a piece up and ate it.
By the end of the film, BigB and Skizz were the only two still awake.
"See, dude. I'm completely fine. That wasn't terrifying at all."
"Told you you could handle it."
"Yeah, piece of cake, dude!"
And if BigB noticed Skizz sneaking out to go to the pyramid to see Impulse in the middle of the night, he didn't mention it.
