another planet

Great, maybe you can let me in on some psychoanalysis of the characters if you’re up for it. Or not, only if you feel the inspiration when you watch it. 

Yeah, it kinda is. I mean, I love it. Most parts of it at least make it worth all the presumptuous classmates I have to endure. I swear to god if I have to hear another film student talk about how much they love The Godfather I’m gonna blow my brains out.

Damn, girl. Coming in hot and heavy. Well, we were kinda supposed to come wearing matching costumes, but I wasn’t really digging it so I crocheted this outfit yesterday and decided to wear it. He didn’t like it that much.

If really want that I think it could make that happen. But I do need to watch the movie first so there's that.

Don't we all have this kind of people in our lifes? Studying, at work. Life in general. There's always someone at some point trying to prove a point no one asked. That I'll never understand I'd be concerned if there's a lot of Silence of the Lambs fans.

I think you should watch the original first, so you can pick up the references on the remake. Both are worth your time, I promise. 

Yeah, it is. Everyone is so different, I can only imagine what makes each person tick, though I know this isn’t the goal of your study… such a fascinating and intricate major, kudos to you. 

Let me guess, you’re more of an Ice King then? Kidnapping princesses around town in hopes they’ll marry ya? 

Hmm… yeah, he’s around the party somewhere a bit mad with me at the moment I reckon.

I will keep that in mind, hopefully I'll be able to watch and maybe talk about with you? Don't expect great remarks like you're used to.

...it really isn't but there's a lot we assume and see it's way more different than we can imagine. Though, yours seems interesting... all the details and things you might need to study.

I can even picture some smart-ass guy thinking he’s so slick telling you you’re out of this world with a feeling he’s gonna swipe you off your feet with this creative pick-up line.

It’s a great film, it has a deeper plot than the original which I really liked, but the lighting aesthetics and editing of the first one are iconic, so they’re both really great. Psychology, huh? Got a thing for understanding the mind then? 

You did, no worries, I’m just messing with ya. Well, at least PB is easier to find than Kovu, am I right? Though my boyfriend wouldn’t dress up as neither.

So damn creative like calling me by another planet's name. The list could be endless. Not even worth to talk about.

Making me even curious about that, which then I should pick first? Go for the plot or the aesthetic? Well, the mind is a tricky place. And the understanding part is a little bit more complicated than it seems. But I suppose I can say it's interesting in many ways.

And what would that be?

Well, you were the one saying you’d be leaving this party. It’s from Suspiria, the remake from 2018. Not many people have got it yet, though I expected that would happen. Most of my classmates haven’t put their fingers around it, and I’m a film student. Damn, have you been holding out on that joke since the beginning of our conversation? She does play bass, so… good one.

Well, Mars. I lost count how many times people asked if there is life on Mars and all this kind of stuff.

Now you got me curious about the nicknames you’ve got so far. Chiara’s a tough one as well, I think only my parents have a nickname for me. Most people just give up and go by my full name.

But you did go big, Megara’s a great costume. Now you’re just fishing for compliments. The whole greek theme… one could say is a comment on the greek life. 

Not as many as you might think. It's motly about my last name though. I honestly can't imagine any nickname for you using your name. Still, Chiara is a good name so there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah. It would’ve been quite an icebreaker, though you’d miss a Harley Quinn. At least you have a fun name, if I were to dress up as Kiara, I’d be mistaken for a furry.

Hercules? I liked it a lot when I was a kid, though my favorite always has been Mulan. There’s something special about a woman kicking ass. Overdressed as in how? I don’t get it, it’s halloween after all! Go big, or go home.

That is very much true. Fun name, I guess we can say that. Not very much easy for nicknames. Still, it's already short enough. That would be very tricky and I don't see anyone trying to go for Kovu.

Hey. Ivy, right? 

I dig the “won’t say I’m in love” costume.

Hey. Yeah, it's me. Chiara, if I'm not wrong? Feels like I kinda missed the opportunity to be Poison Ivy.

Se eles acharem que nós combinamos e estamos juntos, acredito que sim. Tem lógica, não tem?

Well, that is good to know. I think they all hate my guts. Some of them are here, but they are too busy trying to score a girl. Too bad that I already found the best one.

Olhando por esse lado, parece ser uma lógica razoável. Embora, eu tenha te visto falando com outras garotas de um modo geral. E antes que pense. Eu não estou com ciúmes.

I’m not that sure, you look damn fine tonight, as usual. Not really, mas é uma coincidencia feliz, não acha? Assim não preciso ficar espantando todos os caras de cima de você essa noite.

Maybe both, i work out, i have to show my hot body. It’s only fair. Great, let’s start with some gin&tonic. Are you alone here or any of your sorority sister are here? Those girl really need some fun.

Ah, thank you. Sim, é uma coincidência bastante interessante. Quer dizer que os outros vão ficar longe só porque estamos parecidos? Nesse cenário, você seria o Hércules?

Looking good, Mars. Are you trying to kill someone with that costume?

Can I give you a drink?

I hardly think I'll achieve that as Megara. But can we have a moment and talk about you? Were you trying to match mine without knowing...

Hey, girl. Você tem algum interesse em desfilar?

Você está... falando comigo?

I think the walk of shame is embarrassing enough. Let’s just wait a bit more.

I’m not that worried, I mean, of course I wouldn’t let some stupid rule to prevent me to date you, it’s not like that. I just feel that sometimes is easy to avoid these problems. I like you, Mars. And I think you like me too, so let’s keep the fun, shall we? And no windows for now, maybe later.

I have class in thirty minutes. Don't you have class as well? I mean, don't get me wrong. But... missing class to have more sex with me won't get you an A+.

I can hide under your bed or maybe your closet? Behind the curtain? See? There are many options rather than jumping your window, let’s talk about the options first.

What? I think you know that I shower, I mean, we shower together a few times, right? So I’m clear on that accusation. What do you want me to do? To jump and break a leg or an arm? To humiliate myself for you? Listen Ivy, I would do that, if is that what you want. But come on, let’s not go there, we don’t need to play these games. I like you and that is all that matter. And I really don’t want to hurt myself.

So you know behind the curtain is a bad one, curtains don't use sneakers. Alright, I see your point there. I just want to save you from further embarrassment.

What about I stay here until everyone leave for class, uh? It’s a good option too, don’t you think?

Okay, okay. But it was only one time, you know how the guys like to give shit about those things. I don’t care too but for some of them is serious shit. We just have to play the game, right? And in the end of the day, I got the hot girl, so who is wining here?

It's a risky option, which I'm not even surprised you suggested. And what happens if someone shows up?

Are you really going to make me climb this window? Come, on Mars.

Vou começar a achar que você quer me ver morto pra facilitar essa rixa entre as nossas fraternidades. Se eu sair de mansinho ninguém vai me notar, prometo.

Well, there's no other option. You'll be fine... you're athletic and all. Just don't ask me to help you with my hair, isn't that long for the record.
