Films. Oh my god. I haven't seen a movie in way too long.

[ Peter inserts his ticket at super human speed and cast his vote for film. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

Sorry kid. My vote's for music.

[hashtagparkerluck]

But movies Mr Stark.

It's been almost a full month since I've seen Star Wars.

it's just not right!

[runs_on_batteries]

One word, Zeppelin!

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, sure.

but.

Luke Skywalker? Han Solo?

movies, Mr Stark!

we can have movie nights.

[runs_on_batteries]

Don't 'yeah, sure' me when I say Zeppelin. That's blasphemy!

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ don't mind him as he just makes wild gestures with his hands. ]

but.

movies!

...they'll keep me out of trouble?

[runs_on_batteries]

Really? Do you believe that? Do you believe there is anything in the multiverse that could actually do that?

Yes?

[ Guess who's lying. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

Okay, kid. Lying 101. You don't say it like a question or no one is going to believe you. Also that length of pause is lying death.

Seriously, haven't I taught you better than this?

[hashtagparkerluck]

I don't really like to lie, Mr Stark.

[runs_on_batteries]

I know. You're a good kid, Pete. Sometimes people in our line of work need to lie and need to know how to be convincing.

[Feanor is caught looking at the poll with an expression of mild confusion. All options are are generally speaking entertainment (he would argue that art as entertainment is a stretch) but films? That doesn’t make sense. Either the train is playing a find odd one out game with them or the word no longer means what he’s used to. He’d really appreciate some clarification on the subject.]

On risk of it being an incredibly stupid question, can anyone elaborate on what films are?

[knifewithnoname]

[She has no idea what films are. Art and music are boring. Games are for babies.

But there's no option for 'let us go' and she has discovered that some games can be fun, when you are this bored. So...]

>Games

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oooh!

[ Where did he even come from? The ceiling? ]

Movies are like uh-moving pictures-and plays all rolled into one. They're super awesome and great way to spend time. Vote films. Please! Mr Stark said he voted music-which is valid but-movies!

[tinkerheart]

[His gaze travels up in the search of the voice. Oh. It’s Peter...]

Moving pictures? [Why has sudden vision of someone rolling a painting on a cart really really quick. That’s insane. Hm but a play would make sense. Wait did someone invent a way to record a play for future viewing and it wasn’t him?!!]

You mean like theatre?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah! Actually, exactly like that! Only you can watch them whenever you want. I've got like.. a million movies back home.

[tinkerheart]

[Someone did! And he wasn’t there to see it! That’s... that’s... arghh!!!! What else did he miss being stuck in the Halls?! Or is it just the whole different worlds thing again and Arda has no movies? No matter. He’s sufficiently interested now. They’d better be good.]

All right. You have convinced me.

>Movies

[bombashbunny]

> Music <

[ Happy? No. But it'd help pass the time. ]

action - for anyone who was chillin in the main carriage - come persuade the undecideds!

[enthunder]

[ She looked over at the screens with the rest of them when the message appeared, but honestly the choices are vague enough that she has no real leaning in any direction. So instead, she stays sat at one of the tables, coffee in hand, watching the debates spring up. ]

Some distraction, huh.

[pleple]

Does anyone want to sell me on one of these?

[ Ple Two doesn't even really have enough experience to have a preference... ]

[hibana_incursa]

[ Guess who places a vote for the same thing just a second later? This girl. ]

Could be fun, right?

[blueberryprincess]

>music<

[ Music she misses most of all and movies aren’t the same without Doug or her friends. ]
