[ Day… god what day is she on now for this job? The shit she’ll do for 30 coins and a free movie rental. Clearly narrowing down their list, it seems like for the past few hours, the pair has been in the middle of a giant horror and general monster flick block, which bodes well for the job! But while Hibiki isn’t necessarily bothered by either, managing to maintain a good suspension of disbelief; thank you, Tokyo, for being Really Freaking Weird.
But she isn’t the only one combing through the archives here, and while Jonas was reasonably chatty for the first hour or so, he’s gotten noticeably quieter as time goes on. From time to time, the blonde will look over to check on him, to make sure he hasn’t fallen asleep or something by now (she certainly wouldn’t blame him). But she would have to be blind to miss the clear body language of someone who is not having a good time. Hmm, maybe he isn’t good with this kind of thing? Well, now she feels bad for asking him for help.
She can’t call him out on it, though. The last thing she wants to do is potentially embarrass him.
So instead, she slowly and (not so) subtly makes her way toward the section where she remembers seeing a lot of schlocky monster films to “broaden her search”. She’s trying to find something specific, a movie she knows that won’t be too bad, but something else gets her attention.
Mostly because, as the title card comes up, she sees a very pale man wearing the world’s worst bald cap and fake nails making a weird biting face(???) at some buxom blonde, courtesy of the 1950s. What? ]
“The Vengeance of Dracula”? Hey Jonas, ever heard of this one?
[ You mean the super cult classic that’s so obscure that probably no one has actually seen it? Or have they? ]
