Mouse heads over. "Hey." He looks twitchy.

Jonathan nods to him, a little worried by the twitchiness.

"Hey."

"Um. You know Meg, right? We were talking earlier, and it sounded like a good idea, so..." He takes a deep breath. "I want to see it."

Jonathan looks at him for a long moment, then nods.

"The Bar can probably give us a copy. If you're sure."

"I think so. I need closure, right?" He fidgets. "If I don't see it... I mean, what else didn't you guys tell me? Is it going to be some other new and painful fact every day?"

"Not that I can think of... but you're right. Better to see it all at once."

Mouse nods. "I've been told it's cool." He doesn't mention that it was Warren who told him this, because he's not sure if the three of them are still fighing. "So. I guess we should, uh..." He gestures towards the Bar.

"It is. You want to watch it now?"

"Yeah, can we? I want to get it over with, I guess." He shrugs, kind of awkwardly.

"Sure thing." Jonathan heads over to the Bar and comes back with a DVD in his hand.

Mouse looks at it, feeling a little funny. Knowing what he knows now, the sight of Cypher makes him feel part sick to his stomach and part angry.

"I, um... there are DVD players in the rooms, for people that want them."

"Okay." He spots a certain redhead nearby. "Hang on, I want to get somebody. She should see this too."

He comes back in a minute or so with a Shelley.

She smiles at Jonathan, and holds out her hand to shake, all proper-like. "Hi, I'm Shelley. Nice to meet you, according to Mouse, you're cool." She nods and beams.

Jonathan smiles back and shakes hands.

"Nice to meet you too. You're watching the movie with us?"

She nods, smile slipping a bit. "Yeah. Mouse told me about the whole... bad. Thing. And I was angry, and... Yeah. I want to know what happened, and it's all been a bit confusing with the conversations we've had. Y-yeah. He said I could, and I'd like to.. er. Stop talking." Hey, she's meeting someone new. Stammering happens.

Jonathan nods, weighing the DVD nervously in his hand. "You want to... um..." He gestures towards the stairs with the DVD case.

Mouse fidgets some more. "Yeah. The sooner I see it, the better, right?"

Shelley nods. "Yeah. It can't be that bad." She glances uneasily at Jonathan. "Is it?"

"It... it might not be easy to watch. Parts of it", Jonathan admits honestly.

"I want to get it over with," Mouse declares, and leads them up to his room (http://www.livejournal.com/users/thedigitalpimp/1124.html).
