Cammy looked up, mid-sip of her iced coffee and lowered her cup, shaking her head, “Oh, I don’t do scary movies. I’ve watched a few but… I honestly don’t have a favorite.”
“You don’t do scary movies?” Laurel stared at her skeptically. “You’re telling me as a world famous supermodel, no more than a few people invited you back to their place to watch a horror movie in hopes to get in your pants where you would have accepted?”

Cammy smirked, hearing the other woman’s forwardness. “Smooth,” she mildly teased. “Maybe I can, but I’d like to get a name first. After all, going into stranger’s houses is definitely a risky thing to do. Horror movie one-oh-one, right?”
“Laurel Walker,” she stated proudly, as if using her married name from an illegitimate marriage was something to carry with pride. “And you passed my test. It only validated my reasoning to ask you out. I’m the assistant manager over at Crossroads. I have a cat named Einstein. And my favorite food is macaroni and cheese. See? Now we’re not strangers.”
“So the game goes like this: as I try to toss this piece of popcorn in your mouth, you gotta move your head around to catch it. The trick is to use your tongue.” Laurel wiggled into her spot on the couch, clad in her Snoopy pajama shorts, right beside Rory. It had only been a couple months since she moved in with her and Mason, but Rory didn’t shy away from asking Laurel to run to the grocery store for a candy bar or to refill her Arizonas--she definitely made herself at home. After all, it’s what Laurel offered her anyway. “You should be really good at this since you really know how to move that mouth,” she teased.
kirby-powell:
“are you saying it’s scary cause the titanic because it’s true and can happen now?” maybe not so much the sinking, but what did kirby know. cruise ships were not something they’d go on. “i guess it’s scary. i wouldn’t dare go on a cruise. so sure. i stand by that decision too.” they said with a nod. “what other movies did you watch with your family?”
“there are just some scenes in that movie that are so gruesome and there are scenes that you had to just fill in the blanks. sometimes... it’s about what you don’t show.” laurel nodded in agreement with kirby. “cruises are vastly overrated. i’ve been on a couple--my time could have been better delegated.” she picked up the bong off her coffee table before leaning back into her apartment loveseat. “we watched coming to america a lot. at some point we watched the first four harry potter movies. nothing too... memorable.” she sighed then lit the bowl. “what movies did you watch as a kid?”
greer-stenton-creates:
Greer had nearly walked past the young woman taking some sort of apparent poll, but the small bit of movement caught the corner of her eye. She stopped in her tracks and looking back at the young woman who asked her a question as she removed an air pod from her ear. “I’m not sure I’m gonna be the most help,” Greer admitted, closing the few steps between the two. “The scariest thing I’ve watched recently was probably Trolls, and I think I was mostly just horrified that I didn’t have enough self-respect to just turn it off when it started playing. It just… sat there and let it happen to me.” She paused for a moment, lifting her shoulders into a casual shrug.
“But, um… I have to ask: what is Ghostface?”
Laurel couldn’t blame the other for not having that knowledge -- it wasn’t until she established her freedom that she delved more into pop culture and cult classics. According to her parents, if she had the time to watch a movie that time could be better delegated to studies. “Trolls wasn’t that bad. The soundtrack album sold out at Crossroads after the first week it as released in theaters.”
“But Ghostface is the serial killer in the Scream saga -- highly recommended. I’m thinking of even hosting a marathon party for it. It’d be a good way to start your horror movie to-watch list.”
brooklynariwiles:
Why do I not even doubt that! You know he hangs off your words!!!
It’s not my fault that I’m such a convincing role model! You should keep him away from me, if you know what’s good for him.
I might just recruit him to be my esti associate as soon as he’s old enough. We don’t have a 401k plan but we know how to have a good time.
drpippaguo:
“That is the worst question to ask me, it’s not fair. Horror films soothe my anxiety and with what I do, it’s basically a horror film marathon every night in my home. My top five have to be The Exorcist, The Original Halloween, Scream for how campy it is, The Conjuring and The Original Nightmare on Elm Street.”
“Horror films soothe your anxiety? You must go through a lot during the day, Doc. Why don’t you just hire me as your own personal therapist? I’ll charge a flat fee instead of by the hour.”
“So out of those five, which one would you rather experience and live in?”
mirelakohler:
“Alright, you got me there. The chances of being kidnapped is way higher than having a demonic doll in my house. You work with filming?”
“No--my research is purely selfish. Mainly so I can plan what movie we should cuddle to when we have a Netflix and chill date?”
valentinaramosrp:
“You’re a very strange person, you know that right?” Val said with a smile already forming on the edge of her lips. “Ugh! I don’t know. That one, the one you made me watch last week.” She gestured with her hands. “The one about the teddy bears that get wet and go all psycho killer on the town.”
“You mean Gremlins?!” Laurel threw her head back, laughing at her description of the cult classic. “You mean you don’t want one to take home and feed after midnight? It was either that or Poltergeist but I didn’t feel like ruining your life that night.”
laurel remembered spending a day’s worth of her paycheck just to buy a sturdy and worthy hard hat with a light mount specifically reasoning that it would be absolutely necessary for hers and roman’s cave explorations. they had yet to find any buried treasure but it was more about the moment and experience than the actual discovery. “after all, isn’t what we discover about ourselves at the end what it’s really about?” she murmured to herself. she turned to the doctor with a smirk. “remember, wear your hard hat anywhere but your head.”
