Close encounters
Who: Subzero, Hiro, Sam.
What: A chance meeting, away in the woods.
Where: On the path to/from the outdoor theatre in the Northwest.
When: Shortly after Subzero’s leg got reattached.
Warnings: Possibly language. Good job, Sam.
“I’m telling you, a lot of the charm of drive-in theatres---even if ours isn’t strictly a drive-in---is that they’re a little bit old-fashioned. It doesn’t need lasers, and it doesn’t need fireworks, except okay maybe fireworks for special occasions but as those’d be exceptions that’s beside the point.” Sam shook her head and turned up her hands, smiling but still attempting ‘adamant.’ “Point is, instead of a pre-show show there’s social time. Look at opening night! It was nice to have that time free for people to check in with each other, fuss over seats, fuss over snacks, fix some skirts up… Resounding success, and a little like the way movies at the movies used to be.”
She glanced at the path so as to be sure she wouldn’t be tripped by any treacherous roots or rocks before turning her attention (and eyes!) to Hiro, unwilling to miss the teen’s reaction.
“When I was younger, there were sometimes wait screens with trivia, but no ads before a movie began.”

“I’ve never been a big movie watcher really. Most of my time is spent in my lab or on other projects.” He’s just going to leave “projects” very vague, okay? Okay.
“But...I guess if I had to choose...hmm...I guess I’d pick comedy, but not the stupid humor, more the witty, thoughtful, and clever kind of humor.” Sorry, no slapstick for him, thanks. Seriously, though, he’s had little enough reason in his life to laugh, and as movies are meant to be an escape, comedy is perfect for him.
