Pausing, she slowly turned to look at the pangolin... with an expression as if he'd just told her he had a tiny colony of elfin polar bears in his underwear drawer. "... if I did would I be watching a B flick movie at a theater with someone I met off the internet?"

"Hmm, touché," Zachary grinned widely, turning his gaze back onto the screen.

AWKWARD SILENCE GET. Drumming her free hand on the arm rest, she pondered. He called her beautiful. Why'd that give her butterflies? Erf. Ignore it. Ignore it. "... well, that was nice and awkward." AND THEN THE PREVIEWS STARTEDOH THANK GOD.

Again the doctor chuckled, shrugging lightly. "I'm 38 and very successful. Everyone seems to be curious about my marital status."

Raki frowned, keeping her eyes to the screen. The comment probably would of been a fair assessment for most. "Hm. I'm 21 and successful enough to not be living on the street. But no one asks about my status. Probably because most people are afraid I'd eat their eyes or something. "

"Oh come now, a charming lady like you?" the doctor continued to grin, "I'm surprised you don't have to beat the boys off with a club," he paused to let that hang in the air for a moment, drumming his fingers over his armrest. "It would be quite a sport, I'm sure~"

Another pause, but this time it was broken up with a laugh. "I like your sense of humor."

Shrugging, Zachary kept his focus on the screen. "Who said I was joking?"

"Touché again, my dear," he said, shifting into a more comfortable position in his seat for the movie.

Well, apparently laughter managed to chase the majority of the butterflies away, though one or two continued to hang around. It was obvious now that he was teasing her, or at least, obvious to her. And if he wanted to be so 'cruel'... why not return in kind? Turning slightly, leaning on the arm rest, she smirked. "It really is surprising you aren't married by now. What with being a genius and incredibly good looking."

"Then you'd really be shocked to know I'm still a virgin~" Was he being serious? ... It was hard to tell.

Another laugh came from the tenrec as she pat his hand on the armrest, a gesture of mock comforting. "It's okay. I'm saving myself to be sacrificed to the Elder Gods too. I don't think they care much for men though." And... previews nearly over.

Aaand... the movie begins. A dark, over cast path through the sparse plain, the figure of a hooded woman running frantically down the path, occasionally looking behind her. The intro to Sonic and the Black Knight, basically.Suddenly, there's a flash of lightening, and a black silhouette stands before her. She screams, and she drops something she'd been holding- a medallion. Or, more specifically... "MACGUFFIN!"

MEANWHILE, ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY...
Chaos had erupted in the industrial district. Those that hadn't escaped from the fireworks factory had either hidden or already been killed as a terrorist invaded the premesis, ordering his robot to attack anything that moved.
@talon@ Talon let out what was arguably a stereotypical mad scientist laugh, and gleefully inhaled the smoke sizzling up from the charred remains of what was probably once a security guard. Either that or Heat had attacked a mannequin. Again. In any case, the scent of burnt carbon improved his mood even further. "Remember, Heat, take no prisoners!! If we're to please Master Finitevus, we have to absolutely dominate!! ..."
The fiend's eyes narrowed, glancing far askance from the corner of his eye. His lips pursed, brows lowered...
Turning to a nearby table, Talon snatched a box of sparklers, and proceeded to light one from Heat's plasma canon. He thrust it forward with a triumphant grin. "TO CONQUEST!!"

With one leg crossed over the other and his chin cupped in his mechanical palm, Zachary's gaze idly scrutinized the picture as, at that moment, a young and somewhat handsome male hedgehog was retrieving that very same medallion from a dusty old attic chest. "Ah, a hedgehog. I'm sure this couldn't possibly be our werehog, hmm?"

The tenrec tsk'd. "And just happening to be the same blue as a certain celebrity. Surely a coincidence and not an attempt to ride on said certain someone's coattails~." She paused, before pointing to the screen and adding, "This guy's career as an actor is probably well on it's way to being typecasted like this forever."

"Oh, most likely. I certainly doubt he'll be getting many calls for his skill as an actor."

JUST THEN, a cardinal rule of theater-going was broken: Fini's cell began to ring.

Raki Rec blinked, then turned to Fini. He was, after all, the only other person in the theater. "Did you miss the 'no phones' thing? You're absolutely ruining my enjoyment of this horrible movie." Of course, she realized he was a Dr. and that some things were necessary. Though a pager made more sense, really.

"... I'm a doctor," Zachary said flatly, "Excuse me," Standing up the pangolin walked out into the aisle and took a few steps away. Checking the caller ID his lip curled as he flipped the phone open. "Can I help you?"

"Hm." As suspected. Leaning onto the armrest, she idly watched him take the call, the movie becoming significantly less interesting. After all, it was quite probable that she was about to be completely alone in this theater, and watching bad movies alone wasn't nearly as fun as with a friend.

The first thing to greet the good doctor was an explosion. It was only after a few seconds of screams and falling debris that a voice answered him.
@talon@ "Lord Finitevus!! I am in the middle of a mission right now! It is one we've already discussed now and again, so I am naturally on top of things. I decided that since you were on an outing today, now would be a good time to put it into motion, since there would be witnesses to testify to your inno--"
And that was all Talon got out before his voice was drowned by another explosion.

Taking the phone away from his ear, the doctor stared at it for a moment. With a look of disgust he quickly flipped it shut.

Zachary's teeth grit in irritation. "... Regrettably, no," he hissed, flipping the phone back open and bringing it to his ear. "Alexi, I told you never to call me on this number!"

@talon@ "My apologies, sir!! I just thought it was important to tell you that such a massive operation was underway, and we apparently got disconnected-- HEAT!! That's not an enemy, that's a broom!"
