Isn’t that worse? A tomato is only for a night, but crippling self-doubt and humiliation are forever.

[ That’s neither here nor there. He leans back in his seat to look at the screen, curious about the advertisements. As it happens, what he turns his attention back to is some very graphic porn. An advertisement for many of the other special private theaters with showings just for two, with the film of a group of people going at it meant to inspire romance.

Rokurou watches the advertisement of one person being serviced by seven others at once without blinking.

Deadpan: ]

Eight feels like too many.

[schmisse]

I suppose... People who think they're above the rest always make sure those who don't meet their standards stay down forever.

[ It's really awful. Weiss used to be like those people, but she's fortunately seen the light. Sure, she can be a bit of a... rich girl at times, but she's definitely mellowed down a lot.

She's. . . admittedly never watched porn before, so this is a bit of a shocker for her. Any and all violent reactions are kept at bay, and she just minds her own business for the most of it. That is, until Rokurou speaks up. ]

Do people actually do that...?

[ Goodness! She can't help but swallow thickly, looking away for a bit as she tries not to get too flustered.

The next video that gets shown before the movie begins is a series of rules of the theatre. Some all seem pretty basic— no recording, no talking too loudly, and all that. Then the last one is a bit more graphic, with someone on their knees, between the legs of someone who's seemingly got a popcorn bucket on their lap.

The only rule about that? "Don't disturb others". Whatever that even means... ]

[swordhardy]

Oh. [ he stares at that past image, putting the pieces together, ] Is that something you do here? Eat popcorn out of someone’s lap?

[ In the wrong pattern. He turns to her expectantly, looking down between the bucket of popcorn and her face, trying to picture exactly how one would do it. Pour the popcorn on their lap? Stick their head in the bucket? ]

It seems a little inconvenient, even if you aren’t eating too loudly.

[schmisse]

I'm pretty sure there's no popcorn eating happening.

[ The bucket's just conveniently there. . . blocking the view of others.

At least, that's how she seems to understand it. Don't take her words seriously, for she has no idea what she's even talking about. ]

[swordhardy]

I was going to say, I wouldn’t mind eating popcorn out of your lap.

[ He licks the tips of his index finger and thumb, both slick with butter. Maybe not the best choice given the mess it would make, but if it was a movie theater tradition, he would have given it a go.

Once the commercials end the movie begins to play. He sits back, amazed at the size of the screen, content to focus on the story for a while. Or try to! ]

[schmisse]

... I can't tell if you're flirting with me or if you'd actually eat popcorn off my lap.

[ She just shakes her head at the thought. This was supposed to be his first movie ever! Whatever the case may be, while his charm certainly is very effective, she also wants him to experience (?) what film has to offer. It's why she withholds any further statements of her own, of how she could be the one doing the eating.

For now, she's going to grab a handful of the popcorn herself and eat it one at a time as the movie's first scene unfolds. ]
