2023 10, benjy fenwick, dorcas meadowes

RP: Plans
Characters: Dorcas Meadowes, Benjy Fenwick
Time/Date: Backdated to Satruday afternoon, October 22, 2023
Location: The flat
Warnings/Rating: NA
Summary: Benjy's going to be an Unspeakable; Cas feels they should celebrate. Planning needs to ensue.
Status: Ongoing

The Wolfsbane had not come out properly. It had, instead, turned a funny color and had to be discarded. So much for that try.

It was unimportant, though, considering the owl Benjy had gotten earlier. It wasn't that Cas ever doubted him, but still, it was brilliant to hear he'd gotten in. It also deserved a celebration, which, for the moment was still possible. In the wake of the reappearance of Voldemort, and the turmoil she feared would soon follow, Cas wanted to make sure they got to enjoy the night out. Apparating to just outside the flat, she unlocked the door, and walked in.

He was kind of feeling a comfortable sort of lazy, and a half-smile quirked his lips. "We should go out and get a telly so we have something to do on the nights we don't feel like going out or painting or reading."

Granted, there was the wireless, and they could listen to that. Make commentary on whatever talk show was on. Or listen to records. Something. "Is this place set up to get ... whatever the equivalent of cable is now? So we can get movie channels and the like."

"I ... believe so. It's included in the rent, at least. We do need a telly, if only to see what entertainment's become these days, find the newest thing, et cetera. See what's going on in places that aren't the UK. And with the movie channels, there's forty-three years of cinema to catch up on. We could have movie night!" She said. "Looks like we have two trips to make."

	"Excellent. So are we telly shopping tonight so we can make some popcorn and crash on the couch and just watch some movies? And we can see about the paint tomorrow?" It seemed like a good plan to him; he probably had the energy to shop for electronics. "That is how I want to celebrate," he decided. "Buying a telly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alright; let's go. I've got Muggle money still, and while we're out, we should buy popcorn, because you can't watch a movie properly without it. Also, sweets. More of those, " she smiled. "Merlin, I hope they've made good movies. It'd be a shame to see they've all gone downhill." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We really can't," he agreed. "Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll have a snack aisle wherever we get the telly," he said as he stood up from the couch. He stretched, arms above his head, back arching before he dropped his arms to his side. "If they have all gone downhill, we can poke fun at them and compare them to the amazing movies made in our time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Popcorn, and sweets, and a telly," Cas said, "Think we can manage all that." She stood up, pulling down on her shirt. "If they're terrible, I say we write in to complain. Merlin know what they'll do about it, but still. It's the future; they should know by now how to make brilliant films!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Excellent plan," he agreed. He popped into his bedroom to change into Muggle attire, drawing on his trainers once he was set to go. Ensuring he had his wallet, he smiled to Cas. "Who do we write to? The company that made the movie or the channel that shows the movie? Or both, just for good measure?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We write to both; one for the company, because it's their fault the monstrosity got made in the first place, and on for the channel that shows it, because really, if you're running telly programming you ought to have good taste," she said. "It'd be like a radio man playing nothing but Celestina Warbeck -- sure, he could do it. But it would be in really bad form."

Benjy laughed aloud. "Fair enough on that. A station like that'd get shut down fast enough. Or it should," he amended. Patting himself down to ensure he was all set to go, he arched his brows to Cas.

"So shall we?" He opened up the door and stepped out into the hall to wait for her. He reasoned they could pop over to the Alley behind the Leaky, cut through into Muggle London, and go from there.

	"Let's go," she said, following him out. "There's a Muggle populace to avoid alerting, and sweets, and popcorn, and a telly to buy. It's going to be a busy evening!" Cas stopped. "We should also, at some point, consider where we're ordering dinner from. Or if we're getting it on the Muggle side." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We can just hit dinner while we're out," he decided. "Stop in the Leaky and discuss our plan of attack?" he inquired, brows lifting. It made sense, if they were passing through it first, and he didn't want to have to worry about dinner after they had the telly since he'd have to get it all set up.

He triple-checked to make sure he had his wand in an easily accessible place before he started down the hall to find a quieter place to apparate from, so they didn't pop off in the middle of the hallway.

	"Leaky's good; we can catch up on the gossip of passers-by. Double the entertainment!" She said, following him down the hall. She liked this plan; dinner, shopping, hopefully not unnerving the Muggle population too badly. It promised to be an excellent night. (Reply to this) (Parent)
