open to all!

[kaijugrrroupie]

Who: Newton Geiszler and Yooooou
Where: Around LA, The Autobot base, and Newt's clinic
When: NOW
What: A catch-all for Newton as he realises he's been working too hard and then goes out to work hard on catching up on all the social stuff he's been missing because he's been working too hard. He then goes to check up on his robot babies and then back to the clinic to watch Godzilla to soothe his soul. Please, someone get him an intern. Or twelve.
Warnings: Newton should probably be his own warning.

[Thread-starters below! But I can roll with anything. CONDOR agents can also catch Newt in his office in the CONDOR building.]

[That gets Newt laughing.]

Well, yeah. But Godzilla is the best one. By far. Sorry, goannas, beardies and komodos, I love you but you're not Godzilla.

[escapefromincarcecon]

So, is that a matter of opinion, or is there something that makes this lizard objectively superior to all the other lizards?

[Well, she's vaguely interested now, at least enough to keep talking about it.]

[kaijugrrroupie]

Well. It's like. Bigger than a skyscraper. So it's pretty objectively superior to the other lizards.

[he's pulling the file up on his computer and shoves more noodles in his mouth, talking with it full.]

Dude, come here we're gonna watch this shit and you're gonna see how superior Godzilla is.

[escapefromincarcecon]

[Okay she can kind of see how that would make it better, considering how small Earth lizards usually are. Why is everything on this planet so small.]

Uh... alright. [She moves over to stand awkwardly behind him, poking idly at her own ramen and watching the screen, not really sure what to expect.]

[kaijugrrroupie]

[He feels like that when he stands next to the Cybertronians. And you actually. He's vaguely wondering how Myaxx is going to fit into the chair, but pulls one up anyway, scooting on his to make room, patting the free one.]

Prepare to be blown away by the pinnacle of human cinematics.

[it's the original Godzilla. The one that has someone dressed in a lizard suit swiping at buildings. And is in Japanese. Newt is obviously really enjoying it.]

[escapefromincarcecon]

[The chair is a little small, but she sits down and it works well enough. She's... not really sure what's up with this movie, though. She actually does not know what to think, she keeps sort of squinting at the screen as if she's trying to glean some greater content beyond what is actually there, because she so much does not get this. The fact that this is not a language her translator has had much exposure to and she keeps having moments of feeling like the program might be glitching does not help.

She doesn't say anything, for now, but she is absolutely compiling a mental list of questions and criticisms to present once this thing is over, and she keeps glancing at Newt every so often as if to silently try to determine if he actually knows what's going on, either.]

GODDAMNIT NEWT now i need to actually watch the original

[kaijugrrroupie]

[Newt on the otherhand is completely entranced with the film, and does wiggling in his seat and fidget happily a few times. He points out a few facts for Myaxx throughout about the background of the monster and look at how cute it is and general snippets of information that he's reeling off excitedly.

When the credits roll he leans back in his chair and looks incredibly smug and glances to her.]

Awesome, right?

tbh i haven't seen it either i am literally just bs'ing everything :')

[escapefromincarcecon]

Uh... maybe? What just happened? And yes, I heard all the, uh. The 'extras' from you.

[She just does not understand.]

dfjknh high fives

[kaijugrrroupie]

[He stares at her for a moment.]

Giant lizard attacking Tokyo... --oh wait, could you even understand it? Your translator has Japanese, right?

[escapefromincarcecon]

Yeah, I got the lizard-attack part, but, no. This thing's barely got English down, and that took weeks; I haven't really gotten around to getting anything else on it.

[Probably should have mentioned that when you first realized you couldn't understand anything that was being said, Myaxx.]

[kaijugrrroupie]

Oh, dude! You shoulda said something! I could've put the dubbed version on. Now we have to watch it again.

[escapefromincarcecon]

...we have to? Is it actually required?

[kaijugrrroupie]

[He looks insulted, Myaxx]

Uh, yeah! You didn't understand any of that!

[escapefromincarcecon]

Would I have if it was in English?

[Myaxx is the best at having friends okay]
