Who: Heroes
When: Day 40 Afternoon To Evening
Where: Lounge Car

[So this afternoon, there will be a smell in the lounge car. Namely, Pizza. After a little bit of trial and error for some of the extra ingredients, Dusk had figured out the right ratios for pizza dough and the rest was just not burning the whole thing. Which he managed to succeed at, judging by the rather good smell.]

[As the last of the pizzas were cooking, he jogged the length of the train, knocking on team doors with a call of 'movies in the lounge car' through the door before he was off to pass the message. For those curious, they will come to find Dusk in the lounge car, having brought a few more tables from the dining car upstairs to the public lounge, setting out pizza and carbonated drinks. Chairs and couches and various form of sitting has been pushed to more easily see the large TV.]

[Once a decent number of people have gathered, Dusk will be by the TV.]

So I've been informed a number of you don't know what movies are. Today, we're going to fix that. For reference, what we're going to watch is a fictional story.

Its called Star Wars and those of you know the story? No spoilers.

Let's get started.

I'm not that wise.

Well...not completely.

Got some of that sage wisdom.

Hard to have sage wisdom when you don't remember that much, makes me a pretty useless old mentor figure I'm afraid.

Eh, depends on the wisdom. Sometimes you see things clearer.

Ha, thanks. Still missing the wise sage vibe though. Think if I dressed up in brown robes and grew a beard it'd help?

It never hurts the hermit status with a robe and beard. Either you're a hermit, an old kook, or a wizard.

That's a two thirds chance to be cool, not the worst odds.

Oh yeah, old man in a robe usually has soem way to be cool.

But the robe is very important.

Do they have to be brown?

Dark colors could also work.

Not black.

Then you're an evil sorcerer.

White is better for stress levels, they expect great things from white.

Haha I'll keep my hermit robe color options open then.

[But he's getting distracted by story again!]

I like this Han guy. He's kind of a loser huh? But cool too.

[White is worse for stress, shhhh.]

A dark blue could work.

Yeah, basically. He gets an origin story movie. Whole time being a cool loser.

I guess he's important than?

You could say that.

Thing about movies and most series, they like to make trios.

Huh. Is that just a good number for main characters?

Probably.

You can play with character dynamic while progressing the plot. Like if two are fighting, can be hard to see them going forward sometimes, unless there's a person to keep them going. Or you can have two people you wouldn't see becoming friends on their own, but a third person can balance them out to do it.

Makes sense. A duo is good but a trio adds options and more than that would require more time to flesh out.

..... It looks like they're really in trouble though. How are they going to escape an imperial base like that?

Exactly. Get too many people and someone just isn't getting developed in two hours.

A whole lot of luck and chaos. [And dead mentor.]

Ah...

[Kind of engrossed I'm the whole sequence really but.]

Oh no... Obi-Wan...

[Pats his shoulder.]

I liked him.

They're going to have a rough time without him.

Sometimes people need to be cut loose to figure out what they really need.

That's true. You can't always have the adults looking after you as it were.

A sink or swim moment can be really important.

And when you don't want your student to risk their life trying to save you....
