Anyone for Attack of the Ant People? [Snowed in]
(For Dexter, Ace, Dean, Claire, Venkman, Firekeeper, Logan E.)

It'd been fun for a little while. Traipsing through the snow. It became a little more difficult as the snow kept coming; it simply wasn't physically possible for this much snow to drop like that. And, when she noticed the dog fighting to get free of what had to have been a little old lady now turned lump of ice and snow, Fred decided it was time to get inside. Well, only after trying to free the little dog from its frozen mistress, which didn't work out so well, seeing as the damn dog tried to bite her rather than let her help.

Fred didn't want to leave the little yapper out in the snow, now falling in clumps, but she couldn't stay out in it either. No, she started looking for some place that was still open and could take her. Unfortunately, the only place she found that still had its doors open, figuratively speaking, was an old movie house. Actually, Fred didn't mind it; she remembered her mom and dad talking about places like this, and she supposed it could have been a lot worse. She even giggled at the posters hanging up; yeah, it could have been a lot worse.

She didn't seem anyone around quite yet, and supposing that concessions weren't open, she settled down on one of the velvet like couches in the theatre's lobby - sure, it'd seen much better days, dust rising as she sat, but there was something reassuring about a place this old still standing. Plus, the place was a lot warmer than it was outside. She just hoped she wasn't about to be all alone, or maybe that wouldn't have been a bad thing. She'd done alone in bad times before...

Logan had finally decided to some in-depth exploration of this place. Ironically, the sky opened up into some serious chilly snowfall. Not having any warm clothing, he ducked into a dreary-looking movie theater to attempt to stay warm, rather than trekking all the way back to his apartment.

It's red walls, and broken glass gave it an almost cliche appearance to some retarded horror movie. Hopefully the damn snow stopped sometime soon.

"Hello?!" Logan felt he sounded retarded, but could it possible he wasn't the only stuck out?

The snow here was actually worse than anything Firekeeper could remember experiencing on the Iron Mountains. At least back home, it tended to stop after a while. But here, it kept falling, and falling, and soon the relatively warm spot near a grate that she and Blind Seer had been enjoying wasn't nearly warm enough.

Even Blind Seer was complaining, though with his thick fur she was sure it was mostly for her benefit. "That building is open," he said, plowing through the snow towards an open door. "Surely nobody will kick us out, my presence or no."

She didn't feel inclined to argue as her feet (wrapped in some thick socks purchased with some of the money she had been given and a pair of strange shoes that she had found) were almost completely numb. Both shook themselves off once they were inside, and Blind Seer sniffed at the air as Firekeeper made a quick visual sweep. "We are not alone," he told her.

"So I hear," she said, hearing someone call. "We here. Who are you?" she called back.

The snow was heavy and Dean in all his life, had not seen the likes. What was going on with this place? It was just messed up. He had gone into a store to get beer, a bottle of whiskey and when he came out, he couldn't get to his car safely parked in the alley near the movie theater. The snow was so high and the plows that tried to clear it didn't help. It was a loosing battle.

Dean looked about then headed for the theater. If anything, maybe he could see a movie, even though it looked as if it had been working for a while. But then some places one just didn't know. He had been from one part of the nation to the other, boarder to boarder, coast to coast and seen places that looked worn down, had better days and were still working.

Besides, it was freaking cold out! He was gonna freeze his balls off if he didn't get warmth. So the door was tried and he was inside, shaking the huge flakes annoying white stuff off his leather jacket. He looked about, seeing three people and well, a wolf. Interesting.

"Howdy," he called out, walking over. "So what's playing?"

Dexter was the next through the doors. He'd been trying to get home from work for what had seemed like hours. He was cold. Very cold. Miami never got cold like this, and there wasn't a stitch of warm clothing in his closet. He'd had to snag a jacket from somebody at the station, and even that wasn't as thick as it needed to be. He was freezing from head to toe.

Giving up on actually getting home, Dex ducked into the first door that he'd come to. Which happened to be some sort of old theater containing other people already in it.

"Hope I'm not unwelcome." he said, though at this point he didn't particularly care. They could try to kick him out, or ignore him completely. As long as he was warm, he wasn't going anywhere.

He didn't recognize any of them, though. That was a shame. It might have been easier to take being trapped in a place if he had known somebody. Well, no time like the present to make some new friends.

"I'm Dexter." He offered. Just as he said it, he recognized the guy from the library. The one who hadn't thought their show had been particularly interesting. Dexter wasn't the sort to sigh.

Fred has feared for a moment she'd be all alone, but it didn't look that way now. She stood up and walked over to the others, a bright smile for everyone, especially the wolf. Her head tilted slightly as she looked at it.

"Hi, Dexter. I'm Fred. Don't think anything's showin' right now, but then again, I don't think anyone's workin' right now anyway. There wasn't anybody here when I came in. Then again, I just came in, so someone might be somewhere else." The physicist doubted it, but she couldn't know. It wasn't like she could know everything.

"I gotta bad feelin' we're gonna be here a while, so we might as well get to know each other. Any of y'all ever read the Decameron? It's not bad. Read it once, or some of it. They were all stuck in a buildin' tellin' stories, but they were tryin' to wait out the Plague not a snow storm." Fred shrugged slightly, not suggesting the story telling just yet.

Ace was very happy to find the doors to the theater unlocked. If she was going to be trapped somewhere, at least this place could offer some entertainment. She walked in and brushed the snow from her jacket and hair. Looked like other people were dodging the storm here already.

"Oi, hope you don't mind another squatter. Reminds me a lot of Iceworld out there right now. I'm Ace and somewhere in this City is my friend, the Doctor." It was an old joke between her and the Doctor that would be lost on this group, but it came automatically after all the time they had traveled together. "That a real wolf, then? Wicked."

None of the others trapped here looked like they were employees, so Ace thought it was safe enough to reach over the snack counter and grab a box of gummy bears. She'd get popcorn and a coke when the movie started.

"What's the movie, anyway?"

Dean looked about as he walked over toward the rest of the group. It was a bit chilly inside but hey, he had beer and whiskey. He could see popcorn and snacks. This was almost a perfect place for Dean to be stuck in. He hoped they had some cheesy B-flicks, maybe even Godzilla would rock.

"Dexter, Fred, Ace," he nodded to them since they said their names, the rest he didn't know yet. "I'm Dean." He looked about then back to Fred as she mentioned the title.

Decameron.

Well he had to guess, wasn't porn. So it was some sort of book. He tried to rack his brain of the title. Many people thought Dean wasn't smart. but he was. He did his share of reading and research. Just didn't like it.

"Nope, can't say I have. Read Dante's Inferno though," He added which he also once lived through as well. Something he didn't like talking about. Didn't want to and it was bad enough he relived it every time he closed his eyes. Hence the drinking.

"Okay, I gotta ask." He looked to Ace. "Why Ace? And why Fred? Are they short for something?"

Blind Seer tilted his head right back at the woman who introduced herself as Fred and wagged his tail once for good measure. For the moment, it was best to show that he meant no harm--in his experience, some humans panicked over his presence alone.

"Lady Blysse," Firekeeper said, motioning to herself and using her human name. She didn't know these people nearly well enough yet. "Blind Seer," she said, twining a hand in the wolf's ruff. He lowered his head in a greeting of sorts, then set to work chewing the ice out from between his toes. To Ace, she said, "He is real. Not wicked. Fierce, never wicked."

Ace smiled at the the girl with the wolf. "I meant wicked like cool, not wicked like bad. Never had wolves in Perivale." Just cheetah people, she thought with a slight shudder. "Nice to meet you, Blind Seer and Lady Blysse."

She turned to Dean and offered him the gummy bears. "I'm Ace because my real name is naff, but I'm ace." She grinned.

She grabbed a few more boxes of candy and pulled her backpack off her shoulders. She moved her bat out of the way and shoved the candy carefully in next to the various cans of explosives. She wondered if anyone was going to start the movie soon.
