'Mutation of the Dark God' Showing

[Cadence Calloway]

Cadence had started to eat her first nacho, but she sorta just froze as she watched the lone cheerleader get skewered. Her eyes widened just a little bit. The movie was barely five minutes in and already the body count started!? Her eyes widened even more as something rustled in the tall grass around the lake. Cady slowly started curling up in her seat. Someone else was going to die! They just barely got past the title screen!

She continued to hold her chip, poised to take a bite and was obviously too absorbed in the movie to just get around to eating it.

....yes....Cady really really REALLY didn't do horror movies...

[Roach Copeland]

Roach yelped as he too notes the grass moving. He's not the only one, though! Several of the cheerleaders seem to notice it too. They all freeze as the music begins to rumble, a low beat of evil and emo-ness that simply shows the audience that the evil was coming! He gasped as the shot went back to the tall grass, it swaying again.

Something leaped out!

Well, a bunch of people leap out! With super soakers! Ah, the boys from acrossed the lake! Where they were hosting the football camp. They laughed as they doused the woman with water, the cheerleaders screaming and trying to scramble away.

"Why the hell are they freakin' out 'bout gettin' shot with super soakers? They're already wet," Roach spoke as he took a sip from his Coke.

The girls and guys laughed as they both ran through the shallow lake, having a good time. If only they noticed that a pair, a boy and girl from the group, had split off to escape into the woods for a stroll. Or possibly more?

Roach rolled his eyes, tossing a glance towards Alice. "Dead."

[Designation Alice]

Alice chuckled softly as the boys from across the lake began spraying the girls with super soakers. Well that just seemed counterproductive. They should at least have filled the soakers with something other than water. Like... Cool-aid. Or pomegranate juice. Or bleach. Something more threatening for girls who were already wet. At Roach's comment, Alice tilted her head towards his to mutter in a sly tone, "That's what she said?" She flashed him a smirk before sinking a little further into her seat, both elbows on her armrests. She reached for another candy from her cup-holder now that the other two that were in her mouth had just about dissolved. She flicked her gaze down to tear the package before the giggling on the screen drew her attention.

The girl was giggling mischievously as they wandered out into the woods, ducking under sapling branches. This was totally not just a stroll. Every few steps he'd stop to give her a kiss, and she'd giggle more. They found a great big redwood tree to lean up against for more macking and giggles. God that was obnoxious. Were guys really into that? Airheaded giggling?... No, Alice reminded herself, this was a horror movie. Nothing about it could possibly be based in fa- Whoa. Were they about to get to second base? Alice ducked her head with embarrassment, raising her shoulders as her hologram read her responses. Her cheeks flared. She jerked her head a little at Roach's comment and she nodded vigorously.

"So dead-" She whispered back, suddenly remembering her candy. She popped it into her mouth. Cherry. Eh, there were worse flavors in the world. She reluctantly forced her gaze back to the screen in time to see the giggle-girl slip away from the guy to skip playfully away. Oooh. Hard to get. She was going to make him chase her down for it. Alice judged they had about two minutes of on-screen time left before they got gutted.

[Roach Copeland]

Roach took another swig from his cola as the man stumbled after the girl.

Somewhere along the line, he had picked up a beer and was swigging it, getting more and more drunk as he journeyed through the woods. The man stopped in a clearing, finishing off his beer as he spotted the teenage seductress standing with her back to him.

"Tina?" the jock called as he moved towards her, a swagger to his hip. He reached out, grabbed her shoulder to spin her around... only for her head to fall off! Right into the man's arms! She had been a victim of a well timed machete! The man screamed- Roach figured who wouldn't- and turned to run.

Roach shook his head, leaning to the side to mumble back into Alice's ear- well, holographic ear, "Hey, atleast she gave him head, yeah?" He smirked, looked back towards the screen to catch the man stumbling through the forest.

The fellow pushed past shrubs! Through bushes! Stumbled down the path! He could see the camp in the distance! He bolted like he had been trained to at football camp! He was almost out of the forest when... a tree fell on him. One minute he was standing, the next second, he was crushed. By a tree- a redwood, it seemed. Blink an eye and you would have missed it.

But you wouldn't have missed the comical 'squish' sound that came from it.

Roach started laughing the same time the shadow in the forest starting to cackle. Who wouldn't laugh at a tree being a murder weapon? Well... maybe not someone who lost their family to the Devouring Earth but... well, it was still funny!

[Cadence Calloway]

Cady finally got around to nibbling on that chip while the couple on screen had separated. And she nearly dropped the tray of nachos when Tina's head fell off. She made a little squeak sound and grabbed her snack before it hit the floor. She glanced up as the man was crushed by...a tree. A tree? Really? Her nachos were safe and secure again as she curled up in her theater chair, wondering if maybe she should have just done something else this afternoon.

The scene shifted back to the showers back at the cheerleading camp...because getting soaked by water guns while out skinning dipping required a trip to the showers afterward. Totally.

[Designation Alice]

Alice leaned forward with apprehension as the man approached Tina. This was going to be bad. This was going to be so bad. If this was anything like other horror movies, and it was, Tina would be dead. But how? Would her face be mauled? Would she be split down the middle? Would-- Oh god! Her head! Her head! Alice cringed back into her seat, wrinkling her nose. Gross. The thud as it hit the ground was the worst part. She didn't even notice Roach leaning over to mutter to her. She somehow managed to keep herself from jumping in surprise at the sound of his voice, but she scoffed at his comment. Definitely. When she returned her gaze to the screen, she already knew the dude was going to die.

"Ooohh--" Alice groaned with half of the audience once the tree crashed down onto the jock, flattening him. Three people down. The rest of the cheerleading camp to go. Alice coughed a little once the scene cut to the showers, accidentally spitting the life savor from her mouth. She cleared her throat awkwardly. She'd need to keep a limit to how many of those she spit out. She reached for another candy and tore it from the packet. She leaned close to Roach to mutter, "Those hawt showers are about to turn into a blood bath." Okay. maybe that was a cheap and cheesy joke, but she didn't care. She was taking it. A moment passed and she whispered again, "How did NO one hear a giant tree falling in the forest?"

[Roach Copeland]

"Tree fallin' in the woods. Ain't that somethin' you folks philosophize 'bout?" he mumbled between fistfuls of popcorn. He shifted back in his seat, his legs coming up to rest on the vacant one in front of him.

The cheerleaders were all complaining about stupid boys as they bathed. Too busy at complaining to notice that a shadow darted through the locker room. A shadow moving slowly towards the fire-alarm. It was about the time that Trisha was talking about practicing their handstands right then and there when the fire alarm was pulled! From above, sprinklers activated, spraying water down on the bathing girls! They all screamed, running from the showers... to escape the water... and out of the locker room!

"Okay, I'm startin' to see a motif of water here," Roach mumbled- Maybe to Milo or Alice... heck, maybe to just himself. However, his attention was brought back as he noticed one of the cheerleaders remained.

"Guys, I'm not going to run out there without my clothing!" She called out. She paddled through the sprinkler's water, moving to her locker only to find it... open. She was confused- hadn't she closed it? Taking her now soggy clothing from the locker, she closed the door only to see a dark shadow of a man standing there! Her eyes go wide, a shot of the man pulled back a curling iron is shown, and then-

Roach made a face and looked away, his ears picking up the sizzling as the curling iron was jammed into her head! Whatever happened after that involved a lot of screaming and falling before finally silence.

Roach looked back then only to find the scene had moved on. The boys were outside the locker room, cheering as the girls ran out. Trisha pointed their way, scolding for the prank!

[Arthur Rawlings]

It was cute that Kai worried about walking in late, as if fifteen minutes wasn't the gold standard for 'fashionably late'. It's not like they were interrupting art in motion. This thing (no one was yet willing to stretch the definition of 'movie' quite this far) scored a 2% on Rotten Tomatoes. They weren't missing any vital plot points because there were no plot points to be missed, vital or otherwise.

Ar grabbed the popcorn off the counter with one hand (after giving it a couple extra shots of synthetic butter flavoring) and took Kai's hand with the other as they made their way to the theater. "After all," he continued the lateness discussion in transit, "the only semi-nude scene you're interested in isn't until the forty-five minute mark."

The pair waved their hello to the group--one of them apologetically--and slid into the row behind them just as the curling iron fried its way through some naked chick's eyeball and alleged brain.

"Eww!" Kai's whisper almost echoed in the room.

[Designation Alice]

Alice gasped as the curling iron pierced through the cheerleader's eye. She grabbed for Roach's arm, eyes going wide as she flattened herself back into her chair. At the last moment she seemed to remember she could actually hurt him with a grip that was too tight, and she kept herself from squeezing. She turned her had quickly to give him an apologetic glance. She hesitated for a long moment before plucking her hand from his arm to return. She instead placed it self-consciously in her lap, clasping her other hand. She winced a little, both at the memory of the sizzling death and at for being silly enough to be scared by it. Ugh. She didn't even HAVE proper eyes. She didn't need to be grossed out by that kind of thing happening. She leaned close to Eli, whispering. "Makes you think twice about hair fashion eh?"

She took a deep breath, straightening again as she shook her head. Disgusting. She quirked her head a little and glanced over her shoulder to look back at Kai and Ar. She gave the two a friendly wave, giving her favorite Beyonce a grin before turning back around. Kai was sooo lucky he missed the girl's head falling off like that. Alice settled back into her chair, returning her gaze to the screen just in time to see the boys laughing and punching each other in the arm.

"Bro, Trisha might be hot but she's such a hardass." One of them guffawed, slugging the tallest dude in the arm. "Why are you even into that Trey." Ooh. Plot development. Trey was into Trisha. The tall, tan, and incredibly muscley Trey. How old was he supposed to be? Eighteen? He totally looked twenty-six. He ruffled the shorter dude's hair, "Lay off, Mike! She's SPECIAL. She's way cooler than Andrea anyway." Trey pulled the guy into a little headlock, "Where is she anyway? I didn't see her runnin' out in her birthday suit with the rest of the chicks." Mike flailed in protest, trying to slap at the side of Trey's head. "Yeah, 'cause she's fuckin' CLASSY, bro."

Trey scoffed. "She's a pruuuuude." Some of the other boys joined in on the taunting as Mike flipped the group off and headed into the girl's locker room to find his sweetheart.
