There's a movie theatre on the seventh floor. It's past a door and a rather bizarre arrangement of staircases. Has this been here since New Years, or have I just been too busy to notice?

Even so... it is rather entertaining.

A movie theatre, huh?

Guess this place isn't as much of a dump as Lucy makes it out to be.

Appears so.

[screaming noises in the background; she's watching Saw]

Lucy is a fool. While Paradisa isn't most people's favourite place, calling it a "dump" is far out of line. Dumps don't have servants to wait on you, or give you almost anything you desire.

Dumps are also boring.

[a laugh] Well, no one ever told me about that.

Can't say I'm not curious, but seein' as you're trying to enjoy your movie, I'll save the questions. Almost anything, huh.

Things have been moving around and appearing. Haven't looked out the window yet?

I have, obviously, but this one room escaped me.

...Huh. On Thursday, I thought I saw a new room on the 10th floor, but yesterday it wasn't there.

Perhaps you were imagining things, or the castle wasn't finished rearranging.

It's like it's turning back into Hogwarts, but not exactly Hogwarts.

The question is, what sort of movies will it play? Could be some sort of propaganda, or perhaps something with subliminal messages. 'Love the castle', 'you are happy', that sort of thing.

[she doesn't exactly know what subliminal messages are, but she'll pretend she does]

As far as I can see, they're just regular movies. The one on right now is about a serial killer who puts people in absurd, violent situations so they can learn about themselves, or die. I saw part of this one in New York City.

That sounds......really strange. And violent.

Oh, it is. Fascinating, though.

I never got to see the end. My brother thought it was damaging and hid the discs.

I imagine it would be.

[Have an amused chuckle] He stayed up a little past his bedtime, did he?

[amused] Oh no. He thought that I had.

And he was looking out for his dear sisters interests?

...Wow, he doesn't know you very well at all.

Apparently, despite the fact that I've always been the mature one.

Zuko's terrible at reading people, even his immediate family. It's pathetic.

Well, that much is rather obvious.

It is if he thinks people will be put off by a simple horror movie.

I'm glad you recognize that.

Clearly he missed the memo that we were brought up to contribute to the war effort. Apparently, one person getting set on fire in a film will be our breaking point.

Of course. I think it comes with my strong sense of self-preservation.

Someone so associated with fire having issues with it on film. Strange.

[laugh]

I almost wonder if someone dropped Zuzu on his head when he was a child.

I think that's the explanation for most stupidity in the world.
