“I’ve heard that’s a good book!” She looked up at the bacon dangling in front of her. And tilted her head back towards him, “I’m not so hungry that you’re in any real danger you know.” She lifted her head up and nibbled a little off the bacon. “Finish it yourself, k. I can’t have you starving yourself.”
“I don’t think it’s a suspension of disbelief. That’s asking you to let something slide for the sake of a story. Which is ok, but this… I think it’s asking for a leap of imagination. Think of all the wonder that could be out there, and how we could get there and…”
She burst out laughing as one of the crew utter the line about ‘laymans terms’ and ‘speeking english’
“yea, I think it’s trying to spark imagination.”

Vanta will smile and finish off the bacon. "Heard you loud and clear 'Tia." He will finish off the bacon. And when Lambertia started talking about how the story was meant to spark imagination, and open possibilities of what could be... There was a fond, soft smile on Vanta's face as he looked at her. He was lucky to be in her life.
"I guess that's what horror movies rely on? Sparking the imagination on what could be there just out of sight. On what could happen if people thought outside the 'box' on what could be there? Only in this case more horrifying and grim rather than 'cute'." The scene continues to the transmission, and Vanta covers his ears. "Jeez that's a horrible sound...."[/font]
Then the 'translation' is played, and Vanta just looks confused. "... Why that? It could have been literally any language? How could a language be mostly dead? Is there such thing as a zombie language?" Vanta forces out a small laugh at the end, trying to imagine what a 'zombie language' would be like.

“All good stories do.” His use of the shortest of her nicknames brought a smile to her face and she relaxed back against his side again. Sinking into the warmth of him against her bare shoulders and… Movie “I think a ‘cute’ horror story would be magnificent.” Despite being on earth for a while now the pair of them had yet to encounter animation. This might need you to suspend your sense of disbelief a bit but why not. If you can buy Elfan then this should be easy.
The recording was, very creepy. Distorted messy noise but with, something faint in the background. Distressing somethings. She kept it of her face with another pull from the glass bottle. This drink was proving very successful. Tasted good, poisonous enough that it was effective but not so much that it had to be carefully measured. It had a place in her future.
“If nobody spoke it anymore then, you could make it like a, base thing. Neutral. It belongs to nobody but everyone could learn it. Common ground in language.”

"I guess? But I think I remember someone calling it a 'root' language before... Either way its weird. Why not just send a message in a recognizable language?" Vanta, calling for actual logic in horror movies. He's going to be very disappointed.
At the scene where they were approaching the Event Horizon for the first time, Vanta couldn't help but lean forwards, wanting to see what the giant ship looked like. He had seen some large ships, but... "That thing looks like it could be a small moon on its own. Wow..."

It was a strikingly beautiful scene of the massive space vessel hovering over a storm on the planet below. The imager was as haunting in a way as it was beautiful, keeping Lambertia silent as she just admired it. It held her attention enough that she forgot to check the name of her drink as she had intended.
Again she burst out laughing as the protagonists ship parked by clamping onto something that the doctor character said was delicate, “oh my Yes yes! This! That’s humans and parking all over! Like at the supermarkets!”

"Why do I have a feeling that you'd probably find videos of human driving mistakes amusing...." The scene continued, building the tense atmosphere.
"Of course there's explosives. Probably for some big finale... Honestly why would there even be explosives? I don't think that would be a good idea-" Vanta is rambling to try to distract himself from the events going on, and make himself feel a little safer. His hand instinctively seeks our Lambertia's to hold.
Finally... we come upon a very tense scene. A flash of lightning illuminates a display of blood and gore frozen on the wall behind 'Mama Bear', and Vanta stiffens, squeezing Lambertia's hand. "Nope. That's too many corpses. One corpse is still far too many. A preferred amount would be zero. Nope. Just... Nope. Very nope. The end all be all nope." He very much does not like this. At all

“There are videos of that? I just watch them at the supermarkets!” Despite the mounting sense of unease and tension from the movie Lambertia felt very content. Vantas voice muttering on distracting himself as they explored the Even Horizon on screen. She almost startled when he took hold of her hand more than the movie had managed out of her. Steadily as she could she closed her fingers around his and pulled his arm close in around her. Shuffling down a little so it would be comfortable for him.
Nudging the cushion up toward him with her elbow she gave his chin a little scratch but took her eyes away to sip from her drink and pay attention to the movie again. It was fairly grizzly when they turned the space ships gravity on and all the frozen bodies landed and shattered. That took another sip of the amber alcohol. She gave his arm a squeeze, holding it too her tightly to reassure him.
The reveal of the Event Horizons engine room was, foreboding. It stirred a sense of dread in her gut that… Actually that could have been the quantity of crunchy bits in Vanats version of fried eggs…
Or both. Probobly both

Before the scene where the gravity is turned on, there is a bit of an odd reaction from Vanta at a certain moment. Most of the time he tends to be more vocal in his fears, trying to talk through them to distract himself. When the burning man shows up, he goes quiet. Vanta's entire body goes still, and if it wasn't for his breathing, you might have thought he was a corpse. It only lasts a moment though, and Vanta looks away from the movie.
"Might need to work on their fire special effects... Don't think it would work like that in space." He holds onto Lamb's hand, not wanting to let go at all.
Though he seemed sad particularly at what happened to Justin, who 'fell into' the core. "Oh no... Not Baby bear...." The reveal of what the core itself was shook him up. "... Yeah, I don't think I can create black holes with darkness or anywhere near it yet-"

Vanta turns from the movie and offers Lamb some water. "Try drinking some of this?" He recognized the smell on Lambertia's breath as alcohol, and even though he knew some Elfen drank it, he didn't see why himself? It was also a bit dangerous for some fire Elfen since it is an accelerant, so...

She glanced at the water her first instinct was to turn her nose up at it. "I'm ok."
It was just them though. "But," she tilted the bottle and took a long slow drink from it but didn't actually take its weight leaving it in his hands till she was done. ", thanks." Lambertia rubed her mouth fry on her shoukder and looked arround a bit.
"I can share mine, if youd like to try it." He probobly wouldn't. Which was fine. Vanta was so very much the sensible one of them and probobly always would be.
It would have been easy to wish he'd misbehave a bit more with her but that wasnt quite it. It woukd be better if...
How long had she been staring up at him now? Too long! She looked back to the movie quickly and clutched the bottle.

"Thank you Lamb..." Vanta will take a sip of her drink as well, though he isn't quite able to hide how his nose scrunches instinctively at the taste. "Its.... pretty different from coffee? I think I'll leave it to you though."
"If you're getting tired we could always finish the movie at a later date?" Vanta moves to pause the movie, feeling like Lamb might be getting somewhat tired. Even if she wasn't, it was better to give her the option just in case. "... I can carry you to bed?"

Some of the crew in the movie had seen some spooky stuff. A doctor lady had just seen her son with horrible wounds on his legs before a jump scare that had startled her enough to kick the far armrest. She tried to pass it off by twisting her lower body around a bit like she was looking for a more comfortable position for her bum.
Stop because she was tired? The evening she had planned had been far more intensive than snuggling all comfy on the sofa with Vanta. Rolling her eyes at the TV, “I’m not tired. Got a few more hours in me easy.” When he mentioned carrying her to bed she kept her eyes fixed on the tv,
“That, sounds really nice.” She stole a glance at his expression trying to judge what was goign on in his head “No Tv up there, what’ll we do?”

"I might have an idea then." Vanta adjusts them so now Lambertia is resting in his lap as if he was carrying her bridal style. "There! Now I'm 'carrying' you and we can still watch the movie!" He smiles brightly. Right before the movie starts to show what might have happened to the original crew of the event horizon. And then started to show the crew having more hallucinations. Vanta unconsciously squeezes her closer, practically shivering.

“Hm, Oh? What?” for a few skipped beats of her heart Lambertia froze and was not sure what was actually happening as his arms slid around her and lifted her up off the sofas cushions. A feverish sensation passed through her coming static numbness along her side and posterior, the parts of her that were pressed up against Vanta. As he spoke her thoughts came back from that, fuzzy numb place and she understood what he was doing and what he was not. “Ohhhhh! Alright, yea this is nice.” She turned so she could lean against him but keep her face towards the Tv to hide any flushing in her cheeks. That was short lived with what happened on the screen with the recording of the Event Horizons original crew. She hadn’t felt the colour drain from her face that fast in a long time. That was going to show up in her nightmares. The leader had the right response though with his deadpan deliver of the line ‘we’re leaving’. She was just getting used to the new position, settling in for the rest of the movie when she noticed how tightly she was being held and that he was shaking beneath her. Looking up at him again stung deeply. Wriggling a bit she scrambled around so she sat facing him completely and wrapped her arms around Vanta and pulled him down onto the sofa with her, trying to angle him so that he was facing away from the screen. A “Thanks for staying up for me.” She’d fumble for the remote and stop the movie compleatly. “Bad movie anyway” She could finish it some other time when it wouldn't freak him out anymore.
