Home Theater (OOC room)(#969R)
As you enter the room, and part the opening of a set of heavy curtains, you suddenly notice a row
of theater chairs, a large silver screen, a video projctor hanging from the ceiling, and a number
of hidden speakers set within the walls. Welcome to Basil's Home Theater. An elaborate
system, employing Dolby Digital, Dts, and THX surroung sound system. Just about any movie
can be seen, since the system includes DVD, Laserdisc and VHS video formats.

Locus wants to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Locus wants to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Phil wants to watch Star Wars: Episode 1.
Locus wants to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
You say, "Uh oh! e.e"
Locus says, "Do you have the DVD of it?"
Basil says, "Which one?"
Locus says, "Rocky Horror Picture Show. I wanna see the Time Warp song."
Basil says, "Rocky Horror? I think so..."
Locus sings, "It's astounding... time is fleeting... madness... takes it's toll..."
Locus says, "Bleh. You suck."
Locus is just kidding. "I don't have it either. I just felt like watching it right now." :)
Basil opens up large cabinet... Basil doesn't have it in RL though. o.o
Locus:)
Locus sings, "I remember... doin' the time warp..."
Locus sings, "But I don't remember... the rest of the words to the song..."
Locus says, "Oh well. :)"
Basil produces video. "Got it! We can watch Epsiode 1 after, okay Phill?
Phil woohoos!
Locus smacks Phil in the back of the head.
Phil ows.
Basil says, "Hey! This /is/ my theater, we can watch it afterward. o.o"
Holly has arrived.
Phil titters in the background.
Locus waits for the big THX logo to show up and blow everybody away. :)
Holly takes a seat, wondering what the video to be shown is.
Locus sits down in the corner.
BLAM! The audience is now DEAF!!!!
Phil sits down next to Holly. "Hey cutie. What's your name?"
Holly eyes Phil. "Holly. And you are?"
Phil says, "I'm Phil. And, by some strange coincidence, that's what all my friends call me. You
can call me Phil too, if you want.""
Holly rolls eyes. "Yeah, okay Phil, I'll try to remember that."
Basil rolls eyes a well. e.e
Phil says, apologetically, "Sorry, I just couldn't help but notice that you're the cutest girl in the
room."
Locus yells from his corner, "Hey, Romeo, she's the ONLY girl in the room."
Holly says, "I'm the only girl in the room, but, apology accepted."
Phil continues, "Really, I'm not usually this forthcoming. But you're really cute."
Locus shakes his head.
Basil facepalms.
Holly says, "Um, Thanks."
Locus makes kissy noises.
Phil glares at Locus.
Basil whispers to Locus. "Is Phill usually this lonely?
Locus whispers back, "I don't know... I haven't seen him around other ants this much. I don't
know what he sees in her... then again, all you ants are ugly. I don't know what you see in each
other."
Basil ;P
Phil leans over, "You have any plans for after the movie?"
"Um, not sure yet... I'll have to see what's going on." She gives a rather pleading look for Basil
to come up with an excuse.
Holly looks back at Basil then at Locus. "Um, not sure yet... I'll have to see what's going on."
She gives a rather pleading look for Basil to come up with an excuse.
Basil simply waves and grins at Holly. >;)
Holly groans! And goes back to watch the film. o.o
Phil ignores her hesitance and grins. "Cool. I've got no plans... not that I'm saying that I don't
have a life or anything..."
Locus thinks about telling Phil he has an errand to run after the movie, but decides that he'd
rather see Holly squirm a bit first.
me?
Holly Ya, know what. I'm in the mood for some popcorn, could ya get some for me?
Phil stands up, "Sure! Basil, where's the popcorn at?"
too.
Basil says, "Back behind the second door, it's in a pantry. Microwave should be hooked up too."
Phil says, "Second door, pantry, microwave. Got it."
Basil says, "Oh, and while you're back there, could you get me some Red Vines?"
Phil says, "Sure."
Phil has left.
*pop pop pop*
*POP POP POP POP POP POP*
Holly sighs. and leans over to Locus "Is the always this,. er, um friendly?
*beep beep*
Locus says, "Dunno. I've never seen him flirt like that before."
Locus says, "I think he likes you."
Holly rolls eyes. "Oh, swell."
Basil says, "Oh, I think you two make a great couple. n_n"
Holly ;P at Basil.
Locus says, "Besides the age difference, it should be fine."
Holly says, "Uh, how old is he again?"
Phil yells from the next room, "Hey, Basil, where are the Red Vines?"
Lo cus says, "I dunno. Fifteen or sixteen."
Basil says, "They should be two shelves down from the popcorn, see it?"
Locus says, "I didn't make him fill out an application for his job or anything."
Phil says, "D'oh. There they are. Be right there!"
Phil has arrived.
Phil walks in, balancing a bowl of popcorn and the Red Vines.
Locus sticks his foot in front of Phil, but Phil sees it and avoids it.
Basil says, "Oh, I forgot to tell you to get anything you wanted, sorry. ;"
Phil sticks his tongue out at Locus, and hands Basil the Red Vines. "It's okay, I'll just sit with her
and share the popcorn."
Basil accepts the candy. "Thanks Phil.
Phil sits down next to Holly and puts the bowl of popcorn between them, grinning at her.
Phil absentmindedly says, "No problem."
Holly forces a smile as she calculates the 12 years difference in age between them. 'Oh, swell'
she mouths to the others in the back out of Phil's line of site.
Holly says, "Oh, um. Thanks, Phil."
Phil smiles at her. "No problem."
Basil giggles. Whispers to Locus. "Maybe this'll keep her out of my antennae for a while." n_n
Locus shyly tries not to stare or anything, and forces himself to watch the movie... for at least a
few seconds at a time.
Locus whispers back, "Yah, it should shut him up a bit too."
Basil nodnods.
Locus whispers, "You think she'd go on a date with him just out of pity?"
Phil looks up at her, but when she notices, he looks away hurriedly and grabs a small handful of
popcorn.
Basil muches Red Vines and whispers back. "If he doesn't mind going out with a gal that Ic'ly
sent me into slavery. I think the colony is rather on her about that one. >.<
Locus whispers, "Yeah. But then again, he works for me. Shows what a good judge of character
he is."
Holly notices Phil, but tries not to encourage hum.
Basil nods to Locus.
Locus whispers, "To tell you the truth, I think he likes evil people. Makes him feel better about
his own morals... and he knows he can hide behind them if he has to."
has little in that department, as far as I can tell anyway.
Basil whispers. "Well, that is something that doesn't seem to hinder Holly. She has little in that
department, as far as I can tell anyway.
Locus whispers, "You never know. It might even work out... depends how sorry for him she
feels, I guess." :P
Basil whipsers. "Maybe, since the colony really despises her. If he /is/ that desparate, they
might get together at that. ;)
Locus whispers, "I don't think he's desperate... I think he's just starting the whole 'dating' thing,
and he doesn't know how to do it right. Just my opinion."
Basil nods. "I could see that. He's just lucky that she can't trade him for slavery. I think she'd
probably do it in a second if she could get away with it.
Locus smiles, "Of course. But let him have his fun until then."
Holly turns her head around at thinking she heard slavery, but ignores it and goes back to
watching the movie.
Basil nodnods.
Phil puts his arm on the arm of the chair, next to hers, but he isn't quite brave enough to try and
actually touch her hand yet.
Phil smiles at her, but realizes that he's being ignored, and looks at the movie.
Holly is quite oblivious to Phil's actions, and would be rather irritated if she knew what he was
trying to pull.
Locus whispers, "Ooh... I hope he makes his move right now... I wanna see him get smacked
good." >:)
Phil looks down at her hand... so close to his... but isn't quite brave enough to try and grab it.
Basil can't help but let out a quiet snicker.
Phil looks back at the two whisperers in the back, but ignores them.
Holly's antenane twitch, but gives little head to what they say, or does she...
Phil wants to say something... but can't think of anything to say. His mouth opens and closes a
couple time... but he just can't manage to find words to come out.
Holly comes up with a devious plan on getting even with Basil for his threats to her on using his
e-mail. And finding a way to toy with both Phil's and Locus's mind. "It's okay." She whispers.
"Don't listen to them." She gives Phil a warm smile.
Phil grins back, and looks down to see his knees shaking.
Basil makes a retake at what he heard? O.o
Locus covers his mouth to avoid laughing out loud. He turns to Basil and mutters, "I wasn't
expecting THAT..."
Holly sets her hand on Phil's knee to try to calm him down. "It's okay." she whispers. "it's just
me, Holly. No one special."
Phil tries to force his knees to stop shaking, especially since one of HER hands is on his... knee...
wow...
Basil can hardly believe what he is hearing. "I don't believe this!" He whispers to Locus. "What
the heck is she doing?"
Phil says, "Okay... sure. It's okay. I'm okay...""
Holly smiles and nods softly. "I'm really not as bad as Basil says I am. You can trust me."
Phil puts his hand on hers and turns to watch the movie. He's afraid that if he looks at her too
much longer he'll faint. "I know. I know bad. I work with bad. I work with a lunatic. It's actually
fun sometimes... but still."
Basil deadpans! O.O "Oh, how can she do this to me... " He trails off, quietly . "Oh, yeah. Look
who I'm talking about."
Locus giggles, a surprising noise from a bug his size and stature.
Phil thinks, "Her hand is on my knee... her hand is on my knee... my hand is on her hand, which
is on my knee... wow..."
Holly simply smiles and continues to watch the movie.
Phil grins a silly little grin and looks at the movie screen.
Phil tries to intertwine his fingers with hers.
Basil stares, and whispers to Locus. "I've gotta get something to drink. Whould you like
something?" He feels frustrated over the whole scene and has to get out of his chair for a
second.
Locus flaps his wings and pretends to be cupid, pointing an imaginary bow at the two ants.
Locus says, "Sure. Whatever you got... on the rocks. And I mean ice."
Holly calmly allows Phil's fingers to intertwine with hers, hoping he won't black out. That might
ruin the whole idea.
Basil goes and brings back two Pepsi's. And no, there are no rocks in the cups either. n_n
Phil gives an involuntary shiver as his fingers intertwine with Holly's...
Locus says, "Thanks."
Locus takes one of them and takes a small sip.
Basil takes off the lid and makes several quiet but deliberate gulps. He has to supress a burp in
the act. (Burp)
Holly make no other gesture, so as to get Phil's full confidence.
Phil tries to slowly lean up against her and rest his head on her shoulder.
Locus says, "Excuse you. *BURP*"
Holly allows Phil's head to rest upon her shoulder.
Basil places a hand over his mouth. "Excuse me." He mumbles.
Phil's mind is racing, but he strains to remain calm...
Locus says, "No, excuse me."
Phil disentangles his fingers from Holly's, and replaces them with the fingers from his other
hand. He then smoothly slips his free arm around her waist and smiles up at her.
Locus makes throwing up motions.
Locus takes a sip of his Pepsi.
Basil simply shakes his head at what could possibly be going through Holly's head. e.e
Phil snugs against Holly.
Holly simply allows Phil to continue to get close to her. Not showing at any time any resistance
to him. Although she is beginning to wonder how much more of this she can take. >.<
Locus is just waiting for Phil to make a mistake... then WHAM!!! >:)
Basil gives up on figuring out Holly, and decides to turn full attention to movie.
Locus tries to send a telepathic message of bad advice to Phil... "Call her 'snookums'... try to give
her a kiss... grab her... um... nevermind that last one. I wanna see you get slapped, not killed..."
Holly is just fine with Basil not figuring out what she is up to, or her at all. n_n
Phil is SOOOO tempted to go for a kiss... but is too afraid. MUCH too afraid for that. Even
though he managed to get his arm around her waist...
Holly feels that it is also a good idea that Phil not attempt to give her a kiss. That would
probably be too much, especially for what she has planned. >;)
Locus is afraid to know... but certainly interested in watching the show.
Phil settles for holding hands for now...
Basil can't help but wonder what Holly has planned. "This aught to be intersting." He mutters
quietly.
Locus wonders if anyone is watching the movie... heck, what movie is on anyway? I don't even
know... :)
Basil mutters Rocky Horror, wasnt' it?
Locus says, "I guess."
Phil smiles at Holly and puts his arm farther around her waist... far enough that he can rest his
hand on her far leg.
Holly leans over and whispers into antennae. "I was wondering if you could do me a little
favor?"
Phil says, "Anything."
Holly says, "You said you've worked with Locus for a while, so you can understand how us, er,
should I say, misunderstood villains work, right?"
Phil says, "I don't claim to understand him... he's just plain crazy. But I understand better than
most bugs do, yeah."
Holly sighs heavily. "I was under duress at what I had to do to Basil. I was protecting my
freedom, you can understand that, can't you? She flutters her eye lashes at him, innocently. O;)
Locus starts doing jumping jacks and cursing at the floor and ceiling for no apparent reason.
Phil looks over at Locus, "As I said... I don't understand HIM completely... but I understand you.
You do what you have to."
Holly places her hand to her chest, and breathes out a sigh. "I'm so glad to hear you say that."
She looks deeper into Phil's eyes. "I'm so cooped up, here in Basil's chamber, and I haven't been
able to get out for who knows how long. I need a little fresh air, if you know what I mean. "
Holly winks at him.
Phil nods. "'sokay, I wasn't really watching the movie anyway..."
Phil stands up and offers his arm to Holly.
Holly speaks even softer now. "The only problem is that I'm under chamber arrest. And I have
to be careful so as not to be seen outside." She would take his arm, but she meerly looks down
at the floor saddened. "If there was only something you could do to help me."
Basil catches some of the conversation and his eyes grow wide at what he hears. O.O
Phil says, "I'll find some way to get you outside for a little bit. I've got friends.", he grins,
"Besides... that's the only way I'll be able to spend time with you without your brother there."
Locus sniffs, and murmurs to Basil, "My little helper's all grown up now..."
Holly Ohs! Actually Basil /isn't/ by brother. In fact, we are't' even related." She then smiles
widely. "Oh, thank you Phil. Anything you can do to help would be so much appreciated. ;)
Basil looks over at Locus and merely rolls his eyes.
Phil says, "Oh. My mistake. Still, I'll get you out of here somehow. Even if I have to dig through
half of Ant Island to do it."
Holly says, "How would you like to proceede?"
Locus OOCly realizes that we could make a TP out of this... have Holly and Locus both using
Phil for their own gains... Holly uses him to get out of Ant Island, and Locus uses him to get a
tunnel IN. :)
Phil says, "I don't know... do you have a bed or anything to cover up any tunnel that we dig?"
Basil nods interestingly.
Phil says, "I know it's the oldest trick in the book, but it works."
Holly Nods. "Yeah. It's across from Basil's, in his chamber. Would you like to check it out
now?
Holly adds. "Just to get an idea of how we can proceed in getting me out of this place for a little
bit of time?
Phil shakes his head, "No, wait a minute... I got a better idea. I'm an artist. Artists use leaves and
paper to draw on. All I need is a big sheet of paper, and I'll draw a picture to hand up on the
wall... we can dig behind it."
Phil drops Phil's Notebook.
