Yeah. I know a couple, back home.

[back to the movie...la la Carrie's mother is insane~]

--A couple?

...The mother is a bit of a fanatic, isn't she?

Julian is probably the strongest I know. And everyone knows Miss Grey, but she was...gone, before I got to the Academy.

And...that's definitely putting it lightly.

[...seeing as how she kind of just hit Carrie with a Bible. multiple times.]

...Ah, by "a couple" you meant those who've mastered telekinesis. I'm used to it being one of many weapon skills, you see.

[Winces, a little] --has no one tried to stop this? I can't believe this doesn't constitute abuse of her child.

I...it is. But she's never reported it, because...

[s-sigh]

It's just...part of the movie.

...Right, yes. I'm sorry -- I'm unused to this manner of storytelling. I'll just... I'll watch, shall I?

[smiles at you, and rewards that statement with a -- very quick -- kiss]

Good idea.

[Grins, after]

You'll let me know if something very significant happens? I'd hate to miss any symbolism.

It's all pretty self explanatory, but yeah. I'll take care of it.

[really, very self-explanatory. like the girl blowing her boyfriend (off camera) and talking about how much she hates Carrie all at once]

...They truly do simply... show this sort of thing, as a part of their narrative? I mean, quite obviously they do, as we're watching it, but--

I find I can hardly believe it.

Well--I mean, it's not like you can see anything, right?

Well, no, I suppose not. I'm just... unsure what element it's adding to the narrative, that's all. What am I meant to be understanding about this character, by being shown this? She's clearly rather spiteful and unpleasant, but that would be very clear with the dialogue alone...

I--it's just supposed to be mildly shocking, I guess. And--I guess that she'll use sex to manipulate her boyfriend?

[IDK MAN I JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT]

...Of course. Yes, I see.

[Just... snuggles a bit closer, trying to...absorb more movie things]

[puts an arm around you

don't worry we're almost to the prom]

[Happyyyyyyy

And oh, good. I do understand "fancy dress party"]

[....yes, well. first we have to get over the bit where oral sex girl, her boyfriend, and their friends slaughter a pig]

[I have slaughtered and then made fritters out of a giant bug with Rush and his sister, okay. Just... watches. Rather blandly, really.]

[okay good...he was expecting questions, really...

--more crazy mother, more mean teenager, rinse repeat

oh, look, it's the prom!]

[Hey, everyone has to eat, right.]

Ah, this would be the climax of the story, then?

[well, it was more 'why are they so interested in the pig's blood' he was expecting]

Right. This is where the blood starts, really.

[I'm assuming it's a trade item; they will surely take that to the market and use it to forge new and better equipment, yes? Wait why is it in a bucket.]

I am on the edge of my seat, I assure you. Or rather, if we weren't on the floor.

[well how else are they going to carry it. the real question is why is it up in the rafters connected to a rope pulley?]

You better be.

[Why, indeed]

Ah, and yet -- she's been awarded quite an honor, hasn't she? That's rather encouraging...

[doesn't say anything to that; just lets him watch while mean girl drops the blood on Carrie and knocks out her prom date with the bucket]
