Welcome to Night Vale

It's weird to think it'll be a year here next month.

steve.

Guess it's back to just us. I mean, and Brooke obviously. But El and Tommy are gone so it's just us in the apartment again. Unless you want to invite Brooke.

quistis.

You work for a private investigation office, right?

aelwyn.

Everything just kind of sucks and I need a break. Are you busy?

Well.

I guess it was fun while it lasted.

I'll be junctioning later, ignore the giant water snake in the desert.

[ MICK ST. JOHN ]

Because Juno was actually sensible at times, there are arrangements left to grant me ownership of Steel Investigations. Given I pay all the bills anyway, this isn't exactly a large shift in responsibilities.

However, it does mean your workload is about to double. Unless I need to find another investigator?

Honestly glad that fear bullshit skipped me over

I finally tried Taco Bell. It's terrible and also I want ten more tacos. What the fuck?

Also I'm married now which...what the fuck?

quistis.

Thanks for all your help with everything. I really couldn't have done any of that without you.

jupeter.

So, Mr. Steel, how are you liking this whole being hitched thing?

[Squall + Quistis ]
I know you don’t like to celebrate but give me credit for holding it in the day of.

Let’s go do something Birthday Boy. Don’t make me force you. I’ll get you balloons, I swear.

If that doesn’t have you shaking in your boots I’ll leave it to Quistis.

AUGUST MOVIE NIGHT

Since the June movie was such a success, I'll be hosting an LGBT movie night bi-monthly! This Wednesday (the 11th), we'll be watching 'Pariah' (2011).

I've rented out one of the screening rooms at the Night Vale movie theatre. Tickets are free, but donations are appreciated. Popcorn and other snacks will be available at the concession stand.

Writer/director Dee Rees’ film opens at a Brooklyn nightclub where A.G.s (“Aggressive Lesbians”), “soft studs,” and queer black women of all shapes and sizes are having a good time. Immediately, we are given intimate access to a subculture marginalized within the black community — but rather than make the audience feel like interlopers, we’re invited into the raucous, sex-positive celebration, and that makes all the difference. And we have the privilege of being introduced to 17-year-old Alike (Adepero Oduye), who’s in the process of coming out of the closet and dealing with a religious, intolerant mother, Audrey (Kim Wayans). Although there are no shortage of coming-of-age stories, rarely have we witnessed a tough-love mother-daughter dynamic as distinctive as this, not to mention a perspective that’s too rarely seen onscreen. (Pariah Trailer)

**OOC NOTE REGARDING ACTORS: For the purposes of this film and all movie nights. Actors who are PBs in Night Vale who also happen to appear in any of the films should just be considered different/unknown actors who might have a slight passing resemblance to the PB'ed character. No face-twins.

**OOC NOTE REGARDING PLOT: Feel free to use this post to reply to Christian, plan or invite people to go with you to movie night (Under: Tuesday) & write little scenes about going or participating (under: Wednesday). So there won't be double posts.

CODE BY

Does anyone else feel like July's flown by? Shit This is fine

On the plus side, the hotter it gets, the more like home it feels.

quistis.

Is it normal to be panicking? It's normal, right?

But hey...at least once the wedding is over with, that's one less thing for you to organize.

Which now that I think about it, you might actually be happier with more things to organize.

Ignore me.

nureyev.

I'm not panicking. You're panicking.

mick.

Got a favor to ask.

Who is interested in a gay movie night?

Waiting for toxins to wear off is tedious, especially paralytics. At least my brain didn't go terribly fuzzy, even if my legs still are.

Second plus is not having to clean up the plants. It was terribly polite of them all to just ... leave.

There's something odd about discovering you can use military negotiation tactics when discussing venues and cake options.

It's probably stranger than negotiations with vendors is more rigorous than with dictators.

[ JUNO ]

Have you and your beau set a date yet? Also, I have a list of questions I need answers to.

I won't be in the office while I'm settling some things for your wedding, but I am assuming that will be for the best.

[ SQUALL + SEIFER ]

I feel bad that I didn't notice Irvine leaving.

So I'm going to check in more often. Are you both keeping out of trouble? Dating yet?

Well, good to know things back home are still a mess.

jupeter.

Don't panic.

mick.

So I ran into Sasha again.

steel and miller investigations.

Won't be in today. Got shot.

linda.

Could we possibly reschedule our session?

And today I found out that there was a reason my plant is so shiny and it's not because I was taking good care of it.

[Garak]

I'll be around tonight, best we act like we haven't spoken.

[Sousa]

Save a bottle of the good stuff for me. I'll be in tonight.

[Quistis]

If that damn Mrs. Adams calls again, tell her I'm out, which is technically not a lie because I'll be late tonight. Lock up when you're done and there are donuts in the kitchen. I think they're still good.

There is a tendency to forget that darkness automatically brings about fear in the world.

But I have already got a piece of the darkness. But the trouble, it begins in the light if you come around here. In the light, trouble just glistens in this city. Bright and seductive, like a princess diamond.

[Garak]

How you been keeping, stranger?

[ PI OFFICE ]

I forgot how much I hate suspected infidelity cases.

For the record: she's absolutely sleeping with the pool boy. And I am never going to get that image out of my brain.

The whole spring thing is different. You guys have all kinds of seasons around here, don't you?

The flowers are nice.

nureyev.

Speaking of flowers, you're a huge idiot.

But I love you, so...yeah.

Shit. We need to set a date, don't we?

miller.

You've seemed weird lately. Everything okay?

quistis and sasha.

So I figured maybe dress shopping this weekend? If you're both free.

mick.

Wanted to talk to you about something.

I found this weird rock? Probably a rock. Who knows, honestly.

It keeps changing colors. It's probably not dangerous, but honestly who knows with this place.

Last time I found a weird rock did not go so great. Then again, I probably won't end up having to swallow this one.

quistis.

You're the most terrifyingly efficient and organized person I know.

This again? Okay, I guess, but I wasn't expecting a desert.

Does anyone expect a desert though? Doubtful.

Is there a Clark here by chance?

Ms Prince.

I ... I made you something.

( Not an IC cut )

Anybody else in a bad mood because the fire monster at the back of their mind hates snow?

No? Just me? Cool.

It's going to stop eventually, right?

TONY STARK

( AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL )
