Week 2, Wednesday - Jacopo

[withsadness]

[It's late. Like, way, way too late for a girl of Mary's apparent youth to be out and about. It's not murder night, but here she is, in the theater, half-eaten tub of popcorn cradled to her chest. A movie has just ended, but even as she yawns she doesn't leave that room to leave...instead, she directs her course to the closest screening that's still going. All nighter.]

[ where the fuck you do you think you're going

jacopo also happens to be out and about, like the gremlin man he is, popcorn in hand. it's free, and you should always exploit free, non-lethal things.

so jacopo places a hand onto her hand — firmly. ]

And where do you think you're going, huh?

[withsadness]

[Where the fuck does she think she's going. Mary looks up at Jacopo and squares herself! Firmly! Raising her chin in defiance despite her sleepy, protesting eyes.]

One more movie!

[grano]

Looks like someone's tired.

[ he smiles the slightest bit. it's difficult not to. ugh. ]

The same movies'll be playing tomorrow, you know. It won't be much of a loss if you wait.

[withsadness]

But I still have popcorn!

[She holds up her bucket and rattles it.]

If I throw it out, that's a waste!

[It's, like, free, and it's all she's been eating almost all week but, hey.]

And I'm not tired at all, not even a little!

[grano]

[ his eyes flit towards the popcorn, and then back at her. ]

Mary, the popcorn is infinite. It doesn't matter if you waste it. Is that so? — then why is it you yawned earlier?

[withsadness]

Must've been a trick of the light.

[She has no idea what you're talking about, Jacopo.]

[grano]

No, I heard that yawn. You're a sleeeepy little girl, aren't you?

[ he waves a hand in front of her face. ]

Come on. Off to bed with you.

[withsadness]

[This is where the cute act dies. Mary stops smiling, her lips flattening into a hard line.]

Don't want to. Stay up and watch a movie with me!
