Date: Thurs Dec. 28, 2023 Tag: Mist (maybe open for others later?) Words: 171 Notes: Movie date! Roy fidgeted out on the sidewalk outside of the cinemas, watching his breath cloud in the cool evening air as he waited for Olivia to show up.
The pair had been out together before, but Roy still felt as if he could never tell what was an outing and what was a date. Regardless of the correct term, he was always a bit nervous right before meeting up with Olivia. She had been the one who had texted Roy about the movie. Did Olivia think this was a date? Seeing a sci-fi movie?
Roy shook his head. Too many questions about this night. The teen took a deep breath of the chilly air and decided to just focus on enjoying a movie with Olivia. If she believed this was a date rather than just a night out with a friend, then Roy was sure she would let him know one way or another.
Roy just hoped that, if she was speaking with body language, then he would get the right signals.

"Roy!" Olivia beamed at him when she caught up to the other teen on the sidewalk. "Thanks for joining me to see this."
While Roy and Olivia had gone out together before, she felt as if she had left the text invite rather ambiguous in regards to whether or not this was a date. Honestly, though, if it wasn't a date, then Olivia may need to do some serious thinking in regards to how she wanted her relationship to Roy to be. He wasn't a bad guy, she could consider him a friend, but they have been on some date-like outings before. Maybe this would be the evening to determine one way or the other.
"I hope the movie is good," Olivia said as she lead the way into the theater. "I'd feel awful if I invited you out to a bad movie." She laughed lightly, but she believed that it may not be such a bad thing if the movie was sub par. It would give her an excuse to take Roy somewhere else in an attempt to make up for it.

Tag: MistWords: 168 He was proud of himself for not jumping when she called out to him.
Instead of showing his surprise, Roy turned to Olivia and gave her his trademark crooked smile. She continued for a moment, not really giving him much time to give her more of a greeting. Maybe she was a bit nervous about this too.
Wait, if she was nervous, then did that mean she thought it was a date? If she really wanted this outing to be just hanging out with friends, wouldn't they feel a bit more comfortable? Roy swallowed in an attempt to parch his suddenly dry throat, deemed his thoughts as stupid and idiotic, and focused on the girl he was hanging out with for the night.
"I'm sure it will be fine," Roy said, allowing Olivia to lead them into the theater. "If it's full of a bunch of sci-fi cliches, then at least we can have some fun mocking it."
Hey, his voice sounded steady there. Way to go, Roy.

She smiled up at Roy, nodding to his words. She hoped that this movie was good enough to have fun mocking it, if it wasn't enjoyable otherwise. Olivia would totally feel like she failed if it turned out to be such a bad movie that not even jokes could salvage it.
Roy sounded pretty calm about this whole thing, and Olivia hoped that he would understand all of the right signals that she planned to send out tonight. He was being tested as boyfriend material, even if she wasn't sure that she wanted a boyfriend so soon after having just moved to Bayville a few months ago. There were still so many other boys to date and test out, of course, including many options that were on the football team (Adam included, actually). She wouldn't be too overly flirtatious tonight, praying that Roy would understand that this was a mostly friendly outing. His calm demeanor and casual dressing were good signs. If he was comfortable enough to be like that around her, then he was getting points already.
Olivia did like Roy, at least as a friend, and he was definitely good enough eye-candy to hang on her arm around the school grounds. When she had first met him, she had only planned on manipulating him enough to see what she could gain from him before moving on to other prospects, but he seemed pretty genuine as far as high school guys go. True, he didn't have much of a status in the high school, since he didn't seem to be on many sports teams, but Olivia may be able to deal with that.
"I'll get the tickets, you get the popcorn?" she suggested. "I like mine with lots of melted butter!" It was a guilty treat that she allowed herself the few times she went to the movie theater, despite how fattening it was. Olivia went about her task, getting two tickets to the Aliens at Midnight show, then meeting up with Roy again to find some good seats. They ended up in one of the middle rows, towards the end for a quick getaway in case the movie was really bad. She settled into her seat and tried not to seem too awkward as the movie started.

Tag: MistWords: 277 Roy nodded to Olivia went she asked him to get the munchies for the movie while she went off to the ticket stand. Only after she was out of earshot did he clear his throat, trying to get rid of the dry, sandpaper-like feeling. Olivia was generally more talkative than this when they saw each other casually in the school hallways, and he wasn't sure if she was signaling for this to be a more romantic-like setting or not.
At least in the movie theater Roy didn't have to try to talk too much. They could just relax in the theater seats and hopefully enjoy the movie.
Roy did his best not to glare at the concession stand worker for the outrageous prices of the popcorn and water bottles before finding Olivia again with the tickets. The pair went and found seats near the aisle in case they needed to make a quick getaway for whatever reason. Judging by the prices, though, Roy hoped they would be here long enough to get their money's worth.
The movie didn't start out too badly, with a couple of government agents investigating strange, nightly occurrences near some farmland. Typical enough. Eventually, the source of the strange events was -- surprise, surprise -- due to aliens. It was an average enough film with some pretty cool special effects, if Roy was honest, and the movie wasn't as bad as he had originally feared.
At least, until the semi-forced romance between the female government agent and the conveniently-humanoid looking alien.
Roy shifted in his seat, doing his best not to roll his eyes too much at the tepid scenes, while attempting to remain casual.

Well. Olivia certainly hadn't expected that.
She nearly snickered aloud when the romance between the alien and the female agent started up. It was so trite, in all honesty, despite the fact that Olivia had expected the romance to blossom between the two agents rather than having the alien be involved. The actress was certainly hamming it up, acting as if she had to choose between her alien lover and the world. If the alien was mostly human-looking like that anyway, then why couldn't he just put on a load of makeup and blend into society? Why did she have to kill him? Olivia supposed the male agent would kill the alien if given the chance...
Olivia glanced at Roy and noticed him shifting in his seat. She tamed her smirk and reached over to gently take his hand in hers. Leaning over, she whispered, "Is this mock-able, or shall we get out of here?"

Tag: MistWords: 196 Roy most certainly did not jump when Olivia took his hand and whispered in his ear. If anyone wanted to disagree with that, Roy would sock them across the jaw.
Nevertheless, it took Roy a moment to comprehend what Olivia whispered to him. He wanted to stay for the movie, if only to see what kind of special effects would be used for the final scene, but he honestly couldn't think of any better reason than that. His mind was also coming up blank on how he could make fun of the movie without his mocking seeming awkward.
Yeah, the movie was that bad.
"Let's go," Roy said, glad that Olivia was giving them an out. He led the way from the theater and took a deep breath of the cool air before taking a swig from his water bottle. Despite the crisp, December air, Roy had been starting to sweat.
"Sorry the movie was kind of a bust," he said to Olivia, knowing that she had wanted to see it. "Uh, is there something else you want to do?" He didn't want the night to end on a sour note like a bad sci-fi movie.

Although she had dearly wanted to laugh, Olivia behaved herself and made no comment regarding Roy's jump when she covered his hand with her own. Apparently he was more nervous (or just really awkward) from this outing than he originally let on.
She followed him out of the theater and shrugged off his apology. "I should be apologizing to you," she said. "After all, going to see the movie had been my idea. I am sorry that it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be..."
Roy offered to do something else as opposed to just calling it a night, which Olivia appreciated. Other guys may not have been so nice. She glanced around the sidewalk, trying to see if Bayville had an interesting night life. There was the mall, but Olivia was sure it would be packed with other teenagers, particularly since it was the holiday break. Maybe a couple of cafes were still open.
Of course, the clubs would be in full swing now.
"Let's go this way." Olivia took Roy's hand and led him down a couple of streets. There was a club that she had found during her early days in Bayville that wasn't quite as strict with the age limits. A bit off of the beaten path, it didn't appear to be on any night policeman's route, and Olivia was eager to see if a club would get Roy out of his shell just a little bit.
Simply called Eclipse, Olivia tugged Roy through the club entrance, the pair slipping through the small crowd before Olivia turned to Roy with a bright smile when they reached the edge of the dance floor. The music was a little loud so she leaned in close to his ear and asked, "Dance with me?"

Wyatt had spent most of this winter break -- and every other school break and day off, to be honest -- out of his house as much as possible. Eclipse was a run-down club that didn't always card everyone that came in, and Wyatt liked the anonymity of the place. There were usually a few other students that he recognized in the place, but he generally kept to himself whenever he went there for a watered-down beer.
Although, tonight there was definitely someone more familiar to him that came in and went straight to the dance floor.
Wyatt swallowed hard as he spotted Olivia come into the club. The pair had geometry class together this year but hadn't really spoken much since he first met her during the summer. Despite being new to Bayville High, she had quickly climbed out of his league with being a year older and joining the cheer squad. Still, maybe she wouldn't mind Wyatt joining her now? The guy she was trying to tug onto the dance floor -- Wyatt saw him around, Roy his name was -- didn't seem like much.
Wyatt closed out his tab at the bar and went onto the dance floor, the slight buzz of alcohol giving him a bit of a confidence boost. Once he got closer, he said, "Hey, Olivia! How's it going?" He paused a minute before asking, "How about a dance?" ( Hydro, Mist, here to crash)

Tag: Mist, Nightcrawler:kelly Words: 279 Notes: Yay for crashers! "Not your fault," Roy said quickly when Olivia attempted to apologize. "The previews did make the movie look better. It was a good try."
Well, that didn't sound lame at all. Good job, Roy.
Then Olivia started leading him through a couple of streets, and he did his best to keep up. He froze like a cliche deer in the headlights when Olivia brought them through the entrance of a club, one that obviously didn't care to card most of the patrons, and Roy vaguely wondered if Olivia even drank.
Roy's mind raced to think of an alternate activity, but it was coming up blank, especially since the pair were already inside Eclipse. Even if trying to sneak in a glass or two of alcohol hadn't been Olivia's main intention, the large crowds and sweaty dance floors were not something that Roy wanted to be a part of.
Maybe one or two dances wouldn't hurt, especially if Roy could keep his nerves under control and keep Olivia in his sight. Which, considering how close Olivia was to him when she asked about dancing, wouldn't be too difficult, but then someone else appeared beside them and clearly knew Olivia.
Roy blinked, trying to figure out if he should be offended that Wyatt whatever-his-last-name-was interrupted Olivia and him, and Roy glanced at Olivia for some sort of signal. If Olivia wanted to dance with Wyatt, then Roy would back off, but it was still rude of Wyatt to only focus on Olivia when she was clearly with Roy.
Trying to give Wyatt the benefit of the doubt, Roy stepped just a little closer to Olivia and said, "How're you doing, Wyatt?"

Oh it was so cute how nervous Roy seemed.
Olivia couldn't help but grin to herself as she pulled Roy into the club. It was nice to think that he was nervous because of being with her, but she figured it was more so due to the environment she had dragged him into. Still, it looked like Roy was trying to be a good sport, especially since he seemed to want to keep close to Olivia. She was okay with that.
Even more so when another voice interrupted the pair.
Olivia blinked over at Wyatt and honestly said, "I didn't expect to see you here," to him as a greeting. Olivia didn't really speak much to Wyatt at school, not even really in geometry (unless she needed, like, a pencil or something), and Eclipse was the last place she expected to run into him.
Roy looked to Olivia and Olivia tried to signal to Roy that she absolutely did not want to dance with Wyatt. Roy stepped closer to Olivia and greeted Wyatt cordially. Olivia wrapped her arms around Roy's neck and gave Wyatt a sheepish smile. "Sorry, Wyatt," she said, "but I'm here with my date. Maybe another time, huh?"

Alright, so this was a bit embarrassing, what with Olivia's lackluster greeting to him, Roy being in the way, and Olivia declining a dance. Wyatt was not going to focus on all of that. He didn't think he could, not with the buzz of alcohol coursing through him.
Roy wasn't much. He didn't even say anything except hello to Wyatt when he should be telling Wyatt off because, hey, he's here with a pretty lady who is being asked to dance by another guy. Nevertheless, Olivia still went closer to him, calling him her date and everything.
Wyatt faltered for a brief moment, being jostled slightly by some of the other dancers on the floor, before glancing at Roy with furrowed brows. He gave Roy a nod -- because it'd be impolite to not return the greeting, right? -- but reached out to take hold of Olivia's closest wrist.
"Aw, c'mon, just one dance?" Wyatt asked, trying again. "Roy doesn't seem like he'd care." ( Mist, Hydro)

Tag: Mist, Nightcrawler:kelly Words: 198 Olivia was surprised to see Wyatt there at the club as well, but it was clear that the pair knew each other. Roy vaguely wondered if the two had classes together at the high school or something (or maybe Olivia and Wyatt had gone out together before? Roy's stomach did a little twist at the thought, but he couldn't discern why).
Regardless, Olivia was fine with Roy stepping closer and even wrapped her arms around his neck, sending a clear signal to Wyatt that she was there with Roy, and that was that. Roy easily rested a hand around Olivia's waist as Olivia politely declined Wyatt's dance invitation.
That should have been it.
Unfortunately, Wyatt didn't seem to want to take no for an answer and reached over to grasp Olivia's wrist. Roy maneuvered around Olivia, breaking both her hold on Roy and Wyatt's hold on Olivia by reaching up to grab Wyatt's hand off of Olivia. Roy moved in front of Olivia, close enough to smell the faint scent of alcohol on Wyatt's breath. Ignoring his thrums of nerves, Roy kept his voice leveled but firm as he said, "Olivia said no. Back off and walk away."

Wyatt probably shouldn't have grabbed onto Olivia's arm, but he wasn't quite thinking clearly. If he was smarter, he would have realized that wasn't a good thing to do but, since he did it, the next best thing to do would be to take Roy's advice and walk away.
Instead, he vaguely realized that Roy was now holding onto his own wrist and had forced Wyatt to let go of Olivia, with Roy putting himself in between Olivia and Wyatt.
It was embarrassing enough to be turned down in the middle of a club's dance floor by a gorgeous lady, but it was downright humiliating to allow another guy to push him away.
So, Wyatt scowled, ripped his arm away from Roy, gave the unimpressive quip, "No, you back off!" and swung his fist towards Roy's jaw. ( Mist, Hydro)

This guy wouldn't take a hint.
Olivia blinked, more surprised than anything else, when Wyatt still tried grabbing her hand to pull her into a dance. She had scowled, was ready to give Wyatt at least a verbal lashing if not a physical one, but Roy maneuvered them all so he was between Wyatt and her. Wyatt let go of Olivia because Roy had gripped Wyatt's arm and broke the hold, being firm with their classmate and reiterating that it was Olivia who said no, that it was her choice not to dance with Wyatt. Roy's voice stayed level throughout the encounter, seemingly staying in control the entire time.
And, okay, that was pretty hot of Roy. Color her impressed.
Olivia was absolutely able to take care of herself -- she'd been doing it for years, after all, and if it was just her there, she'd have misted away by now -- but as exciting as it was for two guys to argue over her, it was even more thrilling to see her date be more than willing to defend her honor and her choices.
Then Wyatt made the dumbass move of trying to punch Roy.
"Hey...!" Olivia shouted, trying to snap at least Wyatt out of it, even as she saw the punch coming and grabbed Roy's other arm, pulling him back so the punch couldn't land.
