2020-04-16 - Movie Nights Are Hazardous

(TXT to Park) Alisha : So hey there Mee! I'm just relaxing at home and was wondering if you wanted to join me? I recall a promise to expand my movie horizons and I have a few things for you.

(TXT to Alisha) Park : Hey, Sexy! Sure. Things for me? Are they naughty things? 😃 On my way!

(TXT to Park) Alisha : Always some naughty things for you. 😉 Other things as well though. See ya soon.

When park arrives at the aged Wilson's home. Only Alisha's patrol car is parked in the driveway. The family car elsewhere this evening, with Julie likely with it.

Ali herself is seated on the couch by the window keeping a eye out for the Mee mobile, while also watching a cooking show. Dressed more causal in black jeans and 'Birthday Massacre' band baby tee. Minimal makeup tonight as she wasn't planning on going out. On the table coffee is a medium wrapped box, with Pokémon themed wrapping paper, a smaller gift bag, and freshly arrived pizza.

The bright pink Mee-mobile (or Mee-ped) is soon pulling up into the drive and parked next to the patrol car; it doesn't take much room. Park is dressed in sneakers, rather colorful hooped tights, miniskirt, and t-shirt pronouncing 'Bass. It's like guitar but cooler'. She bounces up to the door and knocks excitedly upon it.

"It's Mee!" she proclaims. "I mean Mee, not me, though it is also me that is here...Mee."

If Ali hadn't spotted her pull up it's pretty noticeable at the knock and proclamation. She pauses the show and goes over to answer the door with a bright smile on her. Going to hug Park and give a through hello kiss to the perky woman.

"I think I know which Mee it is. Sure it's both." breaking the embrace to allow her entry into the abode. "Please come on in. I have some ham and black olive pizza if you want some. Even some sugar-free diet coke if you like in the fridge. Oh and I'm so glad you had the evening free." she'll close the door after the DJ is inside "And the presents on the table are for you. Hope you like them both." she adds a touch shyly.

Hugs and kisses are awesome! Park returning both to Alisha with much enthusiasm and gusto. "Pizza is cool" she nods excitedly - though presents gets her even more excited. "Why did you get me presents?" A pause. "Not that I am complaining..." Where should she go first? Soda or presents! The dilemmas of life. "I don't work every evening. We have three DJs at the club now. And I need study nights too."

It has to be the presents! Into the lounge room she goes, letting out a squee at the sight of the wrapping paper. "Oh my gosh! How cute!" This means that she will spend time carefully unwrapping so the paper is as undamaged as possible. "You look pretty tonight."

Alisha smiles as Park gets more excited by the offerings. Giving her a broad smile. The question though, she shifts a bit and rubs the back of her neck "I figured that is sort of what you do, when you are seeing someone. Plus I wanted to do it, hopefully make you happy and bringing a smile to your face." she explains. "I can get you something to drink if you like." not like the refrigerator is that far away. And to her something to do will keep her mind off of how nervous she is. "I didn't think you. I still guessed you had study nights and band practice."

She does going to the adjoining dining/kitchen area to retrieve a drink for them both. A soda for her guest and a beer for herself. Anxiety having faded somewhat by the excited squee. "I thought you might like the wrapping paper." watching her as she takes her time unwrapping it. "Thank you. You look rather beautiful. I do like your shirt." Inside the wrapping paper when Mee gets it open, is a plush Pikachu. And because hey it's still Ali, the smaller one is some pink anal beads. Perhaps spoiling the thoughtfulness of the first gift.

Of course she's going to love the Pikachu. Park squeals with glee as she picks it up and squeezes it in a tight hug. "Thanks so much, Alisha! It's awesome!" And as for the second present, it takes a moment to sink in what they are before Park is blushing brightly. Which doesn't means he doesn't like the gift, quite the reverse. "So naughty" she giggles as she wraps them around her throat like a scarf. "Whenever I use them, I will think of you" she promises.

Park takes her drink with a nod of thanks. "Aren't you seeing lots of people? Do you get them all presents? Awww...you are such a lovely soul, Alisha" she sighs happily. "You don't need to buy me presents to make me smile. You always make me smile. Oh! When is your birthday?"

Alisha holds onto her smile at the reaction to the plush toy. "I'm just glad you like it. I know you said you had one. They had other's but judging from the amount of Pikachu stuff you have. I figured it was your favorite." looking over Park at the blushing and going over to kiss her cheek. "That I am. Then again I think you are a little naughty yourself." smirking at the attempt to use it similar to a scarf. "I do hope so. Every girl needs a few toys all her own. Of course anything you'd like me to use them on you just ask."

It is then Ali's turn to blush brightly "That's the thing Mee. I'm not. Sure I have friends and I have a lot of sex. Just you know for..." she exhales a bit "Just talking to Madison and maybe some of what she said made sense. And I'm not making any." she pause for a few moments. "You know I said I don't really date and just your pretty damn special." cheeks getting brighter red. "Nah I wouldn't say I do have a lovely soul. Maybe a unused romantic one." smile going back on her face at the the finished thoughts of the other woman. "Thanks. Huh? My birthday January the 21st. Why?"

"I just want to know when your birthday is so I can say 'Happy Birthday', silly" Park grins. "January 21. Got it." A curious look for the blushing Alisha. "Madison? Cameron's Madison? She's still in town? So where's Cameron?" She pouts a little before shrugging it away and bringing the bright smile back.

"What did Madison say that made sense? Oh my gosh, that sounded like I was implying that she never usually makes sense, but of course she does. Not that I've ever met her. Saw her play at WinterFest but we didn't talk. She does normally make sense, right? This wasn't a unique thing." Park can certainly babble at times. "You don't have to date to see lots of people. Even to see lots of people naked. And you can be romantic without dating too. I think you're totally romantic" smiles the girl with the anal beads around her neck.

"I see. So when is your birthday, you know asking for a friend" Alisha chuckles. "The one and the same. Yeah she's still in town, she does own a business here so likely she just got busy. Cameron, I honestly don't know. Around I assume as well. Maddy want for me to meet her sometime soon." she says with a tiny shrug. She casts a curious look at the short pout "That is so cute."

Cheeks still red as she answers "That maybe I need to work on letting people in. That I should try to do the relationships thing with people I care about. It's just not easy for me. My life is dangerous and I don't want to hurt the people I get close when something happens to me. So..." she trails off. Deciding it better to talk about other things. "She said the same thing as well. That you two have never really talked much. Have you met Cameron before? No, no she normally makes sense." not seeming to mind the babbling and able to keep up.

"Well I know. I'm just not usually romantic with people I did have sex with. So when I do let that side of me, it's for people I really care for." it's a bit uncomfortable for her to admit the truth about herself. "But ah thank you." leaning in to offer a short and hungry kiss. "Those look nice on you. Maybe better in you. Perhaps later?" ending with a grin.

"December 14 is my birthday. I had such a good time at my last one. There was an orgy in the band hot tub. Not with the band. But you probably don't want to hear about that. And I was going to get a tattoo for my birthday...never did. Maybe next time. Rock and rollers should have tattoos, right? I definitely know Cameron" Park giggles with a blush. "She's so full of life. You defs should meet her."

Park contemplates Alisha's words before offering her wisdom...such as it is. "You can't not do things because you're worried about other things that may never happen. That's no way to go through life. Okay, you have a dangerous job but that sounds like an extra reason to have people you care about. Remind you what you're fighting for and all that." Her brow furrows. "If you're not romantic with people you have sex with, who are you romantic with? You have a lot of love in you, Alisha, you should let it out."

A giggle about any future use of her 'scarf'. "Later for sure" she grins. "Movies! What do we need to expand your viewing habits with?"

Alisha nods "Oh a orgy for your birthday. I'd certainly mark it down as good one. So you haven't done a band orgy yet? I thought that was what bands do. And damn a orgy I wasn't invited to, here I thought I knew all of the ones in town." a soft laugh from her. "Nah though I don't mind hearing it about it obviously." quirking her eyebrow up a bit "What sort of ink where you thinking of getting? I say get one if you want, not because you are going to be a big rock star." giving a chuckle at the blush "Oh I see. Well you and Maddy can't be wrong. I am sure I will meet her. She was a bit of a ass back in the back. We all change though."

"When three people I care about keep telling me that, I really guess I should try to listen. It worked for me for awhile. It seemed that way to me." she says with a shrug. "Maybe it didn't, but thank you for the advice. Until recently I wasn't romantic with anyone, well back in school I was a little I suppose. Sometimes I don't feel like I have much love to offer. Thank you again Mee, you are really so sweet and kind." she lets out a soft sigh.

A nod and return of her smirk at the agreement for later. "You are the expert in those matters. What do you think I should see first? I recall there were several options to broaden my horizons. Also what are you in the mood for?" she starts to move to take a seat on the couch as she asks.

"A band orgy? That's probably too dangerous. I mean, people will start falling in love and then there'll be groupings in the band that will turn against each other, and it will all be such a mess" Park sighs. "Ico wanted me to be his girlfriend but I turned him down because it would affect the band dynamics too much. We still have sex every now and then though. Oh, do you go to a lot of orgies? Cool. Do the police have orgies?"

A shrug about the tattoo. "I don't know. I guess I was going to look once I was at the shop. Or is it a parlour?" A wave of her hand as she moves on. "Doesn't matter. Short version, I hadn't decided on what to get yet. What do you think I should get?"

"Aww, you're sweet and kind" Park blushes at the compliment before sneaking in a quick hug for the policewoman. "Be romantic. There is nothing wrong with being nice to people and showing you care. That's what the world needs now."

As for the movie to watch - this is a much more difficult dilemma. She brought her laptop with her which she now opens up and turns on to find a flick. "Does your television have wireless or do I need to plug in? You have an amp set-up or anything? How about we watch something funny first and then snuggle with a horror movie? Have you ever seen 'Sex is Zero'? It's a Korean film that was big a few years back. Like their 'American Pie'. Do you know it was the fiftieth anniversary of Monty Python in 2019? Gosh, and still so funny. Oh! Jacques Tati? Marx Brothers?"

"Huh, I guess I never looked at it that way. That could lead to a big and complex thing. Maybe even break up the band." Alisha muses "Cool that you are still able to keep things chill with Ico after and still occasionaly have sex." keeping her mouth open for a few moments, looking like she wants to say more. In the end she closes it before chuckling "I don't do a lot of orgies. More of a joke really, though when it happens it's fun. And maybe other cops do, I don't sleep with co-workers. Same reason as you and the band I guess. Makes things too complex."

"It can be called either." she answers "You should get something has meaning for you, or really fits your personality. Maybe I'm not much help there."

Ali blushes brightly at the return praise. Hugging back and giving a quick kiss to Park's cheek "I also forgot to mention smart." she ahems "I am trying to be with those I hold dear. I...guess there isn't anything wrong with it. I can't always be that way though, or even nice at times." she shrugs a bit.

Taking a sip of her beer, while the options are gone over. "It has wireless. I guess you'll need the password." she goes for her phone to get the wi-fi password and provide it to the DJ. "No amps. Just the TV and going between comedy and horror sounds great. I haven't seen 'Sex is Zero'." before she shakes her head "Didn't know it was the 50th anniversary. I have seen some Monty Python and the Marx Brothers. Jacuqe Tati...I don't think so. So how about the Korean movie then?" she suggests. "Decide on the horror film later. I have some great options including some comedy horror. Ever seen 'Cabin in the Woods'?"

Park types the password in and pores through her cloud files to find the film she is after. "'Cabin in the Woods'? Is that the one where they go to a cabin that's in the woods?" She seems to be quite serious with her question. "It has Thor in it, right? Isn't he such a hunk? Oh my gosh, he can hammer me anytime. Wait...did that sound sexy or weird? I was going for sexy." A shrug as she finds her movie. "Do you watch a lot of Asian movies? I think this one is pretty American with its humor but it might get a bit weird story wise. Like, it will have things in it that American comedies might not. But I hope you enjoy it!"

Once the movie is underway, she makes herself comfortable resting her head on Alisha's shoulder and clutching her new Pokemon in her arms. "Do you think police orgies would involve a lot of truncheons? Maybe I should get a band logo as a tattoo? Now all we need is a band logo."

Alisha chuckles lightly at the question "It is. Where they find weird things in the basement. Without going too much into the plot it's one of funniest horror movies I've seen. Yeah it's the one with the actor who plays Thor starring in it." she nods "He is a total hunk. I'm completely there with you, I'd take his hammer for a ride he'd never forget. It came off of as sexy, but I'm a little weird so sexy weird isn't a bad thing." she jokes "I've seen a few Asian horror movies. Never really any other sort. Odd story wise is just fine. Sounds like it will be a adventure." maybe not her normal type of entertainment, but certainly open to it.

Getting comfortable herself, Ali puts her arm around Park's shoulders. A little smile for the head resting against her and the movie. The image that gets put in her head makes her laugh "I honestly hadn't thought about it. I suppose it could with a lot of lube. I more picture it as people barking orders at each other and no one really listening. So a bit of a clusterfuck. Band logo wouldn't be a bad tattoo. You guys don't have one already?"

"I think that's the definition of an orgy, Alisha - clusterfuck. Get it?" Park will laugh even if no one else will. As for the movie, that has her switching from guffaws to squeals of horror as it ranges, to her, from hilarious to gross. Sometimes both things at once.

"Do you think guys really masturbate that much? And I think I'll have to make sure that any fried egg in the future has a yolk." Sips of her soda between her gasping for air from laughter. "The girls are all so pretty too. Especially the lead. Which makes sense she's, you know, the lead. Do you think I should get bra padding like that other girl? That's a bit sneaky though, right? I mean, what happens when you go to bed with someone. Do you rush off to the bathroom to get rid of them and then they wonder what happened to your boobs? I guess it's the same for when boys put socks down their pants. Or shuttlecocks."

"I don't think we have a logo. Oh, I should see if I can find Kailey to design one."

Alisha does chuckle at the joke "Yeah, I guess so." she does find the double meaning amusing. While watching the movie, she does laugh at the humor even when it goes into the more gross out range. She certainly doesn't mind that sort of comedy. It is definitely assuming to her.

"I don't think so. I wouldn't know for sure, but if they did wouldn't they be all raw and painful?" she comments on the question. "I think they are rather cute as well. Probably why she got the lead part." she looks over to Park and sets her beer on the table. A quick and playful poke of her to the other woman's chest. "Nah, I don't think you need it. Yours are rather cute and adorable, like cupcakes. Besides it's a bit of a pain with padding. I used to before I developed, just because I was jealous of others who had, and you sweat a lot more. Like complete boob sweat. It feels rather nasty by the end of the day. I wouldn't really say sneaky, everyone wants to look their best I suppose. Though maybe on the bra you'd have to right 'caution objects may be smaller than they appear.' or on the front of guys underwear who stuff." she ends with louder laugh from her.

"I've heard Kailey is a good artist. Didn't really get to know her much though." she says "So is college really like this? I'd have to think some studying gets done. Are most Korean over the top comedies like this one?" she asks curiously.

"Oh my gosh, my boobs are like cupcakes with cherries on top? You're so sweet" Park giggles. "I think most people like whole cakes instead of A-Cupcakes. Yeah, boob sweat would be yucky." She bursts out laughing at the 'smaller than they appear' comment. "Yes! If only they would let us write things like that. I much prefer people to be honest. Though I have yet to meet a man in this town who does not have a huge.." She clears her throat. "You know."

"I've only met Kailey briefly myself. She did some of the WinterFest posters too but I don't know her much either." Park frowns at this travesty before giggling at the movie again. "Not the college I go to. I doubt penises ever get raw and painful. Boys never want to stop using them." A shake of her head about how common this type of film is. "No, it was a really big change when it came out. I mean, it's more common now because this was such a big success, but it was a revolution when it came out. That lead guy's expressions crack me up all the time. He's so sad and put-upon but never gives up."

"See, this is what I mean when it goes places American comedies usually don't. Abortion is not something you usually deal with in something like this."

Alisha chuckles "Then most people don't know what they are missing. I like boobs of all shapes and sizes. On the plus side I can fit more of smaller ones more in my mouth." she says with a grin. Ali is pleased that her joke was well received. "I really do as well. Like it when people are honest. In all things not just about bodies. Life is too short to be dishonest or play games. Really though? Damn where are finding these guys then and why aren't you sharing?" she laughs a little at the end. "Seriously though I've been with more than a few that weren't well endowed. Doesn't matter though, it's all how they use it or other things."

Nodding to Park about Kailey. "It's true they never seem to want to stop. I know there are a few things I've been to raw after a lot of sex. Just thought it could be the same." She pays attention to the comments about Korean cinema. She does have true interest in films. "Huh? Well cool that it sparked a touch of film revolution. A old friend of mine always said you can change the world through movies. You are right, it's rather inspiring that he doesn't. I can respect it."

"It's true our comedies usually don't touch or treat serious issues with respect, when they are in comedies. I can say I wish our comedy cinema did. Do you watch much Korean or other foreign movies?"

"I agree, it's not the size of the wand it's the magic it does. If size mattered I would be in some serious trouble" Park giggles. "Maybe I think they're big because I don't know any better?"

"Maybe when they're hard, they're already over the raw bit? Gosh, it's not as if I know a lot about dicks." Park pokes her tongue out at Alisha before shrugging about the effect of movies on society. "I dunno, if that was the case, everyone in the 50s and 60s would have been singing songs in the street with all the musicals. Or in the 70s every kid would want to be a cop because of all the TV shows. It didn't happen though. I guess, now, everyone would want to be a selfless superhero. I'm pretty sure there are still plenty of people who want to be selfish and evil."

"I watch lots of movies. I mean, music is my bag, but movies are fun too. And they have music! I watch Korean movies, Chinese movies, Japanese movies, Thai movies, European movies, Indian movies sometimes, all over the place movies. And I can even handle subtitles! I can't believe people don't want to share in art just because it's in a different language or, heaven forbid, in black and white. People need to get over themselves. Oh, you're a cop! Was it because of all the police shows on television?"

Alisha grins at Park "Maybe. With any luck you'll only ever be in the best kind of trouble. Eh maybe or you've seen the upper range."

She laughs at the flash of tongue "I never meant to say you were a expert or anything. More just thanking out loud and I didn't exactly bring up cocks, for once." giving a quick wink. "Looking back I'd imagine she more meant influencing people. You know touching people through films that inspire or make people think. Instead of just being a reflection of society or pandering. Totally get your point though." before frowning for a time "I can safely say there are some people who are selfish and evil. Have to deal with that more than I'd like to."

Frown going back as the other woman takes more about movies. "Subtitles that's easy. Never got why that turned some people off to movies. I agree people who don't even want to try because of another language or format. They are just missing out. No, my dad was a cop and my grand dad where cops so they both sort of inspired me. Though I have seen more than a few cop shows. Being a cop wasn't my first choice when I was younger. Jamie, my old friend, and I were wanted to be filmmakers. We had it planned after high school we were going to go to film school. Didn't really work out." taking a another and longer drink from her beer.

"What inspired you to take up music? I mean as what you want to do. I need to hear the origin story of a future star."

"Oh my gosh, you were going to make movies? That's so awesome. You should really do that. Hey! Did you know that they're making a movie right here in Gray Harbor? That's what I heard at least. Looking for extras and stuff. Maybe you could help around on set? I mean, they'd probably need police for security and to close off streets and all that, so you totally have an in. Yes! You should do this!" Park is getting even more excitable than usual. "Do you have movies that you made? Why aren't we watching them?!"

"I know about following the family business. It's why I'm doing dentistry at college. It's the family business" Park smiles before considering that last question. "Music inspired me to take up music" she decides. "There is such variety. It can speak to people regardless of language. It is not a literal art. Sure, it can be. I can state things quite explicitly, but the best music brings out your own feelings and connotations and relevance, you know? When you're forming your views, music can act as reminders or signposts. They associate with the good and bad. That's all the highfalutin reasons but I just love music and I'm lucky enough that I can do it." An embarrassed giggle, "Well, I think I can do it. Anyway, my parents got me piano lessons in return for giving it all up when I become a dentist." She pouts. "Not sure I will give it up though."

Alisha coughs a bit "We were going to. I won't even know where to start with a movie. Jamie was the one who knew that. She always said there'd be time for me to pick it in film school." before she does nod "I did hear about the movie coming here, and I was thinking about asking to be part of the assignment for the force. To be able to get in and look around how a real movie is made. Have to do my job as well. But if they need local extras you should definitely audition for it. " playing with the bottle in her hand as she answers the next question "Eh, well. Sorta of. There is a half finished one we started to make with her dad's camera. I still have it, but you won't want to watch it. It's pretty bad and we played all the parts ourselves. You wouldn't want to watch it." which a film made by two early teens probably isn't going to be good cinema.

She nods and listens to Park before responding. "I figured from what you've said about dentistry before." she nods "No I get it. Music can be so inspiring and I know I get things from it that other's don't. Literal art? Maybe not. But all music breaks down to different meaning for people. Not sure that makes sense." she nods "I understand the pressure of parents. I didn't want it but, I needed to support my little sister. Hey though you don't need to and can do what you want."

Ali plays with the label of her bottle. As the movie ends ready to ask a question. "Mee? I know this is only our second date. I have been reminded that I need to be honest and reach out. In that spirit...would you like to be my girlfriend? Not in a claiming way. Date or screw anyone you want. Maybe you know me enough to know I will as well. Just as something deeper than friends." opening up as other's have suggested could lead to her getting hurt or rejected. Now she is ready to take that risk. "I know I shouldn't get hung up on labels. Just Mee...I really, really like you." perhaps the movie coming to end and before the horror movie. Alisha needs to say something before things get intense or confused with sex. "I think I suck at relationships."

"I still want to see your movie" Park grins. "Maybe all it needs is a bit of music? Or, you know, you could finish it? I bet it's not as bad as you think. Me...as an extra?" That has her laughing and blushing. "Who would want to see me in a movie? Besides, I'm not even sure what kind of movie it is. It could be a historical epic where a person of Korean ancestry would look way out of place. Not sure I could even wear some of those old giant frocks."

"I may not have to support anyone, and it's awesome you're caring for your sister like that, but my parents support me. If I don't do what they want, then they cut me off. That will be fine when I become rich and famous but at the moment, I don't have a huge income from the Cabaret or the band. And, oh my gosh, if my parents ever found out I worked there..." Park shudders at the thought.

And then there's a big question that has her looking a little confused. "If we can keep screwing other people, would that mean we were girlfriends?" She shrugs it away. "We are more than friends, silly. I don't sleep with everyone, thank you" she giggles. "You don't suck at relationships. There's no instruction book or expectations. We all do what we need to do to be happy. And would you really want to be the girlfriend of a pop star with groupies everywhere? And if you don't mind all the sex with other people, then not sure what being a girlfriend means. I mean, I really like you too. Definitely."

"If you really want. I suppose at some point." Alisha shrugs her shoulders "More music won't hurt I guess and I don't know about finishing it. Might not make a whole lot of sense going from back then to a adult. I'll think about it though." she looks unsure. Something to consider in the future. "Yeah you as a extra. How wouldn't want to see you in movie, is a better question. It might be good from a exporsure point as well. They could also be looking for people for the soundtrack. Giving a chance for the whole band." she suggests.

"Thanks. Nothing wrong with having your parents support you through school. It would make it hard having to balance what they want versus what you want. Being cut off would be damn awful." she comments "You still have to make it until you are music legend after all. Well they haven't found out so far and I'd bet they aren't the type to wander into the Cabaret. So hopefully you're safe there."

Ali tries to keep her blushing under control as they talk, not very successfully. "I explain what it means to me. In part it is dating and getting a little more serious. I mean that in a way of emotional connection. Sharing more of myself than I might otherwise and having it returned. Being a larger part of each other's lives. Counting on one another and seeing what more can come in the future. I am poly and maybe it's wrong of me to assume you are, just when we talked about it seemed like you might be." explaining first what it means to be girlfriends to her. She gives a soft laugh "Guess we are and I didn't think you have sex with everyone. Even I don't." before nodding "You are right Mee. It would be easier if there was a instruction manual. I just haven't really done this before. Would I want a pop star girlfriend. Sure and the thought of groupies around doesn't bother me. I guess it's only fair to ask in turn if you'd want a cop girlfriend who could land in the hopistal at any point?" a broad and somewhat embrassassed smile when Park says she really likes her as well.

"You could use the time difference as a plot point. I don't know what your movie was about but the stuff you shot back then could be flashbacks to stuff you shoot now. Something like that. Then it won't matter how different it looks. It would be perfect!" Park is getting quite excited even if Alisha isn't. "Ooh, yes, promotion for the band. See the movie that one of supergroup 'Augmented Reality' appeared in. Gosh, maybe I should think about it. Do you think I could act though?"

"So poly is the one where you love lots of people, right? So you would have more than one girlfriend...or boyfriend...and they would have more than one girlfriend...or boyfriend...if they chose to. And sex is not something to get hung up on in a possessive way. Because it's still pretty awesome in other ways. And it means an emotional connection. Even one night stands. To me at least. And you can always count on me." A little frown about the hospital. "You won't get that hurt. You're too clever and skilled for that to happen. Alisha, if you did have a girlfriend, you would still be the best cop you could be, right? You wouldn't do anything different to avoid necessary danger? You know what I mean."

Alisha nods at Park's ideas "That would work, except no Jamie anymore. Someone would have to. I had have to get a camera, don't think scenes shot on a phone work out. It was suppose to be a art house romance flim. Not that either of us knew much about either." she chuckles and it's hard not to join in Park's excitement. Even with her resevations about it. "But yeah in the future people can look back and see the first appearance in a movie of 'Augmented Reality'. Extra really don't have to do much, but yeah I do think you could act if you put your mind to it." attempting to add some encouragement.

"Yeah the most common form of poly is the idea of being able to love more than one person, in a romantic sense. Those involved can have more than one boy or girlfriend. If they want or get close in that way to a person. Sex with others can happen, without everyone involved. To me I'd think I'd be happy that my partner/parnters were happy. Plus it's always seemed silly to me to get hung up about sex." another smile on her lips "And you can always count on me. For whatever you need that I can do." the comment about her not getting hurt brings a sigh "I'd like to think I won't. I have already gotten hurt in the line of duty. It will probably happen again at some point. Just have to be honest about that. If I did have a girlfriend...no it wouldn't stop me from doing my job to the best of my abilities. Which yes, I would still take necessary risks. I wouldn't back down just because I was seeing something."

"Or seeing iots of people" Park corrects with a grin. "What happened to Jamie? Oh, she's not dead or anything, is she?" Park looks a bit worried that she's put her foot in it again. "You do know that they've released movies to cinemas that were shot on phones? Unsane...I think that was what it was called. Besides, having a different look between the 'current' scenes and the 'flashback' scenes would work out for the movie. And even if Jamie is not around, the scenes with her could be like your character thinking about a first love while living another. Or something like that."

"No one should get hung up about sex. They should just have it. As long as it's all consensual and enjoyable and stuff. People put too much weight on something that should just be fun." Park considers a moment. "Have I answered your question yet?"

Alisha chuckles at the correction "Or that for sure." before she sighs as she answers "She and her family moved away during Sophomore year. After some stuff happened. She didn't keep in touch with me after. Don't know why, not even where her family moved to." it's been a long time she still looks sad about it. "Really? That seems a little wild. I'd picture a Blair Witch type movie that way. It could work with different look. I suppose I'll have to think about it, maybe finishing it could be in Jaime's honor. Not a bad suggestion though." about thinking of first love while with another, even if she winces as it hits close to home.

"I'm right there with you. For some I guess it's harder not to put weight on it. I don't know." she says with a shrug. "Ah well we have both said we're more than friends, there for each other, and enjoy each other's company. Not really if you'd like to be my girlfriend. Which if you don't it's fine. It wouldn't change how I treat you or I'd stop wanting your company." bit easier for her to talk about it, still some lingering red on her cheeks.

"Stuff happened? I won't ask, it's not my business" Park smiles. "You should totally do that movie. I'll even be in it if you want! Oh...is it a porn movie? Arthouse movies usually have lots of naked bits. I don't mind but that's probably not the kind of thing my future fans would want to see" she giggles before her brow furrows. "Or maybe they would? Gosh, fans are so rude sometimes."

"Girlfriend is just a label, Alisha. I couldn't care for you more with that word attached but if it's something you need to hear then, sure, I can be your girlfriend. Even though we both sleep with lots of other people and care for lots of other people." She raises her head from Alisha's shoulder to kiss her gently on the cheek. "You're so sweet. Time for the horror movie?" Park's head resting back on Alisha - but now her chest rather than her shoulder. "I warn you I get scared easily so sorry if I jump and hit you in the chin or something."

"It isn't my place to real tell either." Alisha just leaving it at that. "Well you have convinced me I probably should. You would be in it? Sure I need someone else in it to finish." before blinking at if movie was porn. "No, it wasn't. I think one of the scenes had underwear showing. It's been awhile since I watched what we filmed...but eh no other nudity. Everything else was suppose to be implied. I think I might still have the original script somewhere." she explains before chuckling "Well future fans might. Though I don't think celeb sex tapes are big anymore."

"I know it's just a label. I wish I could say why I care or why it means something to me to use those words." she really doesn't, she does look very happy. "But thank you Mee." smiling at the kiss to her cheek. Offering a soft and gentle kiss to Park's lips. "Thanks, just don't tell anyone." her tone light and joking. "Yeah I think know is a good time for the horror movie." Leaning her head lightly on the Korean's head as she gets settled in. "I'll keep that in mind. I don't think it's too scary, but I wouldn't take offense if you hit whatever." getting the remote and flicking through her library to start 'The cabin in the woods' She is very relaxed as it starts.

Adding pose to delete later and keep the scene open.

There is a sudden jump at the lights going out. And there is a collision of head and chin but Park laughs it all off. She is assuming that Alisha did it on purpose - though the impact did hurt and Park rubs at her head for a moment. "Oh, you didn't do it on purpose?" She will move out of the way to let the hostess attend to home maintenance.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Park hums to herself to keep amused; always working on songs! The noise of skittering has her brow furrowing and looking around in the dark. "Do you have a cat now!" she yells out for Alisha, "You need to cut its nails." Then there is a flash of lightning and Park stars at what she thinks she sees.

"Do you have pet spiders?" Park calls out. She still seems to be in good cheer...even if she retreats a little from the edge of the couch. "Are you going to be long?"

Park stares at the thing on the arm. "Do you have any of those remote control drone spidery things?" she asks brightly...hopefully. "Like...a dozen of them? They're very realistic. And I think a few of them are coming your way." What has she got to defend herself? A pillow? Some chips? A rug? "Just remember" she whispers to herself, "It is more afraid of you than you are of it." Soon, she is sitting up on the opposite arm of the couch, getting out her phone to text '911' to Alisha.

Something is certainly going to move but it's not going to be Park. As that 'spider' rears up to attack her, she lets out a little squeak before the thing is thrown across the room and into the furthest wall she can reach. "Alisha! Don't shoot! I'm not one of them!" The Korean even has her hands up in surrender before a finger is pointing at those moving past. "Shoot those ones. I have no idea where they are going" she adds in a whisper so they don't hear her.

Park bounces to her feet, standing on the couch before stepping warily onto the coffee table. Eyes scanning everywhere for more of those things. "This is totally creepy, Alisha."

Another little squeak from Park as bullets fly and creepy spider things come for her. She jumps from foot to foot as if the table is too hot to stand on. Again, without thinking (or knowing) of the danger, she uses her 'powers' again and flings one of the spiders into the other with enough force to cripple them both. "Oh my gosh, that noise is so creepy. I should sample it." Music on her mind even to the end.

Park would really love to get off this table and run for it but there are still too many of those things around. She points frantically towards the front door. "They're making a run for it! We can't let them out!"

Park stares as Alisha has lightning shoot from her fingers. Spiders completely forgotten now. "Oh my gosh! How cool is that! You're like a superhero!" Palpatine is way too old a reference for her. More giggling, excited clapping, and jumping up and down on the coffee table. At least until she misses her footing and falls to the floor with an 'Ow'.

"They didn't hurt me" Park replies with a shake of her head as she sits up. "I hurt myself though" she pouts...but only for a moment. "What were those things? Hey! Have you ever seen that movie with Magnum PI and the Demon from KISS? They looked like the things in that." She doesn't know Palpatine but can remember obscure 80s movies? Her nose screws up. "Can you smell something funky? And not in a good way."

"I wouldn't say a superhero. I mean you've never seen anyone do that before? I'm also pretty sure some of them didn't fling themselves." Alisha says her glow dying down. Jaime is the also the reason she knew to make the reference. As much of the old sci-fi and horror she likes is. Confusion by the Park's excitement "Be care..." she starts right before the fall. Trying to catch her, but too late. A wince from her when the DJ hits the ground.

She'll offer her hand to help Park stand. "Alright. I was just worried." not commenting on how she hurt herself. "I don't know. I was trying to track down reports of what could be a bigger version. Huh? No I haven't seen that movie. Could be someone imagined them into the world after seeing it though." not the weirdest theory she's considered about things like that. Her adrenaline wearing off as she sniffs and covers her nose with her hand. Setting her gun on the coffee table "Oh yeah. That's pretty damn awful." luckily the smell is fading as the spider corpses disappear. It may linger for sometime. "I don't know about you, but I'm not in the mood for a horror movie anymore."

"I don't think I've seen anyone shoot lightning out of their fingertips. Not in real life at least." Park takes the offered hand and bounces to her feet. "There's a bigger one? Oh...is this a police thing? Oh my gosh!" Back to being excited. "Are you in, like, some supernatural squad or something? The X-Files crossed with The Avengers? That would be soooo cool. Do you have a secret uniform kind of thing?" A gasp and her eyes go wide. "Sorry! This is a secret, right? I didn't say anything and I don't know anything. Promise."

Park fans her hand in front of her nose before nodding about the movie. "That's okay. We should probably check the rest of the house in case there are more of them. But then we can watch something else. Your choice though. I picked the first movie...sort of."

"I've seen others do it. Then again I don't exactly go out of my way to interact with the gifted or cursed." Alisha admits. Noting no comment from Park about mentioning she has powers of her own. Deciding to leave that alone for now. The excitement and the rapid assumptions bring a smile and a small laugh. It goes away quickly as she was going to tell her, just didn't imagine it would be this soon. "I think there is a bigger one. Didn't know what it could look like until now, except evidence of a big spider. I'm not part of anything bigger. I've always hunted monsters alone, safer for others that way. You remember back when I joked about being like Buffy. I've been doing this since high school. Just never been attacked in my own home before." she explains.

Ali nods to the suggestion "Not a bad idea. Don't want them sneaking up on us again." before placing a hand on Park's shoulder "You are taking this pretty well. I know you grew up here too, I'm just used to this and don't want to just assume anyone else is. Are you doing ok though Mee?" she still has look of concern "Anyway yeah I can pick out something else. After we look for more of them."

"You've been doing this as long as we've known each other?" Park's brow briefly furrows once more. "I didn't even notice there were monsters around. And you forget one very important thing. Buffy never worked alone." A look of disapproval that Alisha has been solo before her smile is back. "Sounds pretty exciting though. How did you find time to join the police as well?"

As for taking things pretty well... "I'm fine! Life is magic. There are so many things that can happen, I would be a fool to say I know all that will. I mean, don't get me wrong, I would rather that there hadn't been horrible spider things attacking us but it happened." A pause. "It did happen, didn't it? We're not asleep are we? C'mon, we should check out the house. Wouldn't want Julie finding one."

"Not quite that long. Eight or nine years though." Alisha admits with a shrug. "I learned about them from my dad. I didn't believe him at the time. It took my own coming into myself and seeing them to believe and take action. Someone had to stop them, why not me." she looks away briefly at the look from Park "I know. I'm working on changing that now. I just sort of find the time, as you do with school, work, and music." not at all the same "I don't hunt all the time and well being on the police force helps with finding them. So you've really never seen them before?"

She does smile at the answer "I don't know how you always seem to keep such a positive attitude. It is rather endearing." Ali nods "It did. At least I don't think we're asleep or in one the weird awaking dreams. Yeah though let's check to be sure. Julie or one sneaking up on us is the last thing I want." she will go to search the small home, along with Park. A rather through search doesn't turn up anymore of the twisted creatures. A few of the much more normal house spiders.

A shake of Park's head to confirm she has not seen such things before. "I don't think so anyway" she adds, with a little uncertainty creeping into her voice. Eyes squint as she searches her memory before shrugging and smiling happily once more. "A positive attitude is better than a negative one." Then off to search the house thoroughly. No reading of any diaries Park may find. Any objects of an intimate nature she's probably seen before.

"All clear! So what are we watching next?"

Alisha does look over and it's pretty rare she's heard Park be less than certain. "Sounds like at least in dreams though? They can be just as bad, if not worse than the ones that come here." she comments. Hard not to smile back at her before the search. No diaries discovered, Julie keeps her's on her computer and Ali doesn't have one. There is a notebook noticed in the search. Written on the front 'Poems' with the words scrawled 'Julie don't you dare read this.'

As both determine there is no more things. Alisha does pull out a spare rug to put over the spot she shot some of the creatures. Going to have to dug the bullets out later and not wanting to try to explain things to her sister. "Yeah I didn't find anything either. How about Flash Gordon? Have you ever seen it? It's good campy, sci-fi fun. Lots of unintentional comedy as well...maybe it was intended I don't know." living here means getting back to normal as quick as possible. People just go crazy if they don't.

A poetry book by Alisha? Park will note where that one is hidden away so she can read it later. If she's going to put those words to music, she has to read them. Logic!

"I love 'Flash Gordon'!" Park grins happily before adopting an 'evil' sounding voice 'What do you mean 'Flash Gordon approaching'? Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body.' And it's sooooo colorful! Yes, please." She flops back on the couch. "Can I have another soda, please?" A check of the seat to make sure there is no icky 'spider' venom before she makes herself comfortable once more.

Alisha should have figured that Park had seen the movie. It does have a pretty famous and good soundtrack for a cheesy Sci-Fi classic. Giving a happy smile at the impression. "Yeah that's one of the better lines. I always liked 'Hawk men dive!'...mostly because until I saw it recently I thought it was 'Hawk men die!' and really I didn't think it was great motivation for the men. But they kept doing it anyway." Ali laughs at the thought and well her own mistake. "Sure." as she goes to the fridge to get another and another beer for herself.

No venom on the couch cushion. Really except for the still fading smell and new small holes in the couch, nothing remains of the small threats. Alisha returns with the drinks offering the soda to Park. Setting up the movie, before taking a seat back on the couch. Leaning her head on Park's shoulder as Gordon starts. "So who is your favorite character in the movie?"

"Clytus" Park answers without hesitation. "The guy in the mask whose eyes dribble out when he dies. Though Vultan is pretty damn cool too. The way he roars along through life. Gosh, such a role model. Plenty of people are motivated by dying" she shrugs sadly. "Suicide bombers and things like that."

A lovely smile of thanks at the receipt of the soda before bringing her legs up under her and acting as a pillow to Alisha. "And the music is so cool. Did you know that a couple of albums before this, Queen were proudly proclaiming on their records that they didn't use any synthesizers. This one is almost all synthesizers. If only this had been a success. We could still be having Flash Gordon movies today - Rise of the Gordon."

Alisha grins at Park "So you like this movie's Darth Vader?" and Ali actually giggles. "Yeah that scene in 'Flash' when he just bleeds out. My fav is Dale. She did what she could to throw off Ming." before smiling at her "Yeah Vultan is should a role model. Oh hey so I know he didn't mean bad things. I just misheard things." she tries to tilt Park's face up to her's with a smile "Nothing dark. I just misheard a line." she shrugs and truly didn't mean anything by the misunderstanding.

Ali shakes her head "I didn't know they claimed no synthesizers. Well you do know there is still talk about a 'Flash Gordon' reboot. I'd probably hate it. It wouldn't be as bad/good as the original. Without the soundtrack and plot, it would be a sad Blade Runner. Still who can deny that Freddy Mercury is one of the best vocal singers ever! Even above Souxsie!" and maybe being musical inclined knows about the rise of the goth pixie.

"I guess he was just like Darth Vader" Park pouts before a gasp of recognition. "Oh! Palpatine! The Emperor from Star Wars. Gosh, how did I forget that? I have to be honest though, 'Star Wars' isn't really my thing. Though the Ewoks are cute." A smile up at Alisha. "I know you didn't mean anything."

"There's talk of rebooting everything. No new ideas in the world. I don't know if it would be like Blade Runner. Probably more like...not sure really. But I don't think it would be drab and dark. And definitely agree about Freddy. I wish I could put on a show like him" Park sighs. "You like Banshees Souxsie or Creatures Sousxie. Not that there is a huge difference. So, you're totally Goth?"

Alisha chuckles "Yeah the Emperor from Star Wars. He regularly did the lightning from the hands thing. I like Star Wars, but I'm not a superfan or anything. Plenty of other movies I like more. Ewoks...right the little teddy bear things. I suppose they are rather cute." she nods her head "Good. Just in the context it seemed a little awful."

Ali shrugs "I wouldn't say no new ideas. Just easier to go with what has already be done so lazy. I only thought it would be because most reboots try to go dark. It's just a thing. Hey maybe if I get more into film making I could try to make a new Flash Gordon." she laughs with her voice full of humor. "I'm sure you will be able to put on as good of a show. All it takes is some work and imagination. I'm pretty positive you can do both." giving Park a warm smile. "Both versions honestly. She has talent. Yeah though I'm completely goth. I mean if you are going to do something why not go all the way, right?"

"You should definitely make a new Flash Gordon" Park enthuses. "Can I be Dale Arden? Ooh...maybe the wicked princess. Since, you know, Dale Arden isn't usually an Asian though Ming normally is. Even when played by a Swede. Hey, have you ever seen Flesh Gordon? I haven't by the way."

"It's more than just imagination, it's talent. But I can work on that too. I will have to write you a Goth song then" Park decides. "And don't forget to give me some poetry I can turn into songs." She snuggles in against Alisha as they watch the movie. "Do you know the song 'Alisha Rules the World'? That should be your theme song." Park has a habit of bouncing from subject to subject. "Go, Flash, go! Go, Flash, go!"

"I was mostly joking. I'd have to the find time and organize people. Plus budget and all." Alisha says with a shrug "If I do though. You can for sure be Dale. Or the wicked princess, either one. Sure Dale isn't usually Asian, but doesn't mean she shouldn't be. Might help explain why Ming is taken with her. Flesh Gordon? Isn't that the porn parody?" she isn't sure, but it sounds right. "Heard of it. Never seen it though. Maybe we can watch it together at some point."

"I've heard your music and you do have talent. Me write I song? I wouldn't even know where to begin." she shakes her head. Being better at singing than writing. Did she mention she writes poetry? Ali can't recall "My poetry isn't all that good. It's mostly just something I do as a outlet. Doubt you'd find good song material there." seeming a little embarrassed as well. "Nope, I don't know that song. If you think it would be a good theme song. Maybe I should listen to it. Personally I like 'Cheap and evil girl' for my personal theme song." getting a smirk. Snuggling up back with Park in turn. Seemingly happy with the closeness. She has noticed the going from subject to subject, thinking it little more than just a lot on the Asian's mind.

"Oh please, you are not cheap or evil. Your sweet and worth every penny." Hopefully that won't destroy Alisha's hard cop image. "I think it was porn. But funny porn, with a budget, not what they rush out now." A beat. "Not that I'm an expert or anything but, sure, we can watch it another time. You could always do a low budget 'Flash Gordon'. One without all the fancy effects and sets but tell a smaller story. Use that wonderful imagination of yours."

"You don't have to write a song. Just give me some of that poetry that you said you did when we met. It is good poetry if it says how you feel. Can it be any worse than the 'Baby Shark' song?" Park giggles before pointing at the screen. "Look how pretty that throne room is. And they built all that. No CGI backdrops here. Though you could always do CGI backdrops for your movie. I bet you there are people in town who do that kind of thing. Special effects I mean. Or you can ask some of the people making the movie in town."

"I might be to some. My rep could easily be ruined by letting that out." she raises her finger to give a playful bop to Park's nose. "It's very kind of you to say. Hard to think of porn having a actual budget and maybe even decent actors." Alisha does look up to the other woman "Hey even if you were nothing wrong with being a porn expert. I watch some from time to time. You are right though, I always can. Maybe something just for fun and thanks. It might be good to put it to some actual use."

Alisha shrugs "I mean it does describe how I feel. I just don't think it's all that well written. And well some of it is sappy, other's is just dealing with some stuff." Ali does chuckle a little "It probably couldn't get worse than 'Baby Shark'." before nodding "They did do some great work on the sets. Practical effects like that, you really don't see it much. You happen to anyone who could do some CGI scenes? Asking the film crew in town wouldn't be a bad thought. They probably brought in some team from out of town. You know have you ever thought about using some practical effects in some of your band's shows?"

"You probably wouldn't be able to afford who the movie crew are using but there could be some people who would want to break out on their own" Park suggests before thinking on whether she knows anyone. "No one springs to mind" she replies sadly, sorry to disappoint Alisha. "I'm sure there'd be plenty of people in town who would be into giving it a try. Put an ad up in the paper. Not the paper paper but on the Gazette's website. I mean, if they are good at doing CGI, would they be putting an ad in a paper paper?"

A wiggle of her bopped nose as she settles once more into watching the movie. "Gosh, I'll probably dream of Mongo tonight. That could be dangerous."

"Oh I know I wouldn't be able to afford the team who are working on the movie. Just thinking they might know of someone in the industry or heard of local talent. Not that I could pay much of anything to help finish a old project." Alisha muses now at least thinking of logistics of it. She shakes her head at sad tone "It's no big deal. Just thought you might know a person or two, so don't feel bad about it. Maybe Stefhan might know of a person, since he's into all the computer stuff. Hhmmm when I'm ready a ad on the paper's website would be a good idea." before she chuckles "Not too many other people read the paper version either I think."

Still watching the movie as they talk. "Why would it be dangerous? Other than the weird that can happen. But I can also try to find something to keep your mind off of Mongo before you go to sleep. If you'd like to stay over tonight." looking to Park for a moment. Then going to plant a line of kisses along her neck. "Could also be fun to make out a little while enjoying the film." ending with a lick to a just kissed spot.

"I thought Stefhan ran a bar. He's into computers too? I can do musical stuff obviously but CGI is not my thing. I'll keep an eye out for someone who maybe could help." Park will always want to be helpful

"All the different worlds of Mongo would be dangerous. There's that swamp one. And the ice one. And even Vultan's palace. They all look like things you could fall off" Park pouts before nodding. "Sure, I can stay over. When will your sister be home? Or is she home? You know how noisy I can get." A shiver of happiness as kisses press down her slender throat. "Gosh...well...I guess we can make out I suppose." She attempts to sound casual and nonchalant but she can't hide her eagerness. Make-out time!

"No, he runs a computer store. He seems to know about most of computer things. Well of course you are into the music side of things and thanks. I appreciate it." Alisha is grateful for the offered help.

"They are all dangerous and falling off certainly seems like a thing that could happen. All of them just seem to be floating in space. There is also the wood beast. That little creature was always creepy." Ali says, probably not helping. "Julie will be home in about a hour or so. I should probably text her to let her know, in a little bit. I do know and it isn't like I'm very quiet myself."

"I suppose, if it isn't too much of a inconvenience." she teases between kisses along Park's jawline. Coming to the front and her lips pressed against the other woman. Keeping them gentle from more her side. First tasting the glorious lips of her's. Running her fingertips along the Korean's arm as their lips lock.
