So, hey Cadelleans. Cadellers? ...Cadellites?

[nope, they all sound bad. really bad. but he's just going to stop himself grimacing at that and refocus on the whole point of this message.]

My name's Scott. I've met a couple of you when I was-- [he holds a hand up, palm down in the universal sign of "shorter".] I went home for a while, so to anybody I knew before? Sorry for everything. I was...kind of an ass back then, and I know I said a lot of things I probably shouldn't have. [though given that he's already made up with his pack, he's already dealt with the worst of it all.]

Anyway. We're all here for the same reason. [the possibilities, rather than the specifics.] So what I was thinking was that maybe we set up some kind of monthly movie night? I don't know how many of you have been to the cinema here, but they've got one screen that'd really work out great with the whole bonding-slash-intimacy thing. No seats. Just huge pillows, and the manager is up for letting us use it every month if we want to.

[it counts as an act of good will for her, and they can all add to their own energy generation with a little snuggletime while they watch. it's win-win.]

Think of it as an easy way to get a quick boost towards your goals while making a few new friends along the way. [a pause, and--] And before I forget. Any recommendations for the first movie-fest?

[just no star wars. stiles will kill him if he finally watches the films and he isn't there to witness it.

...wow does he miss the rest of his pack already. it hasn't even been a month yet.]

[ He needs converting. It will just take persistence. ]

What's wrong with Star Wars? [ He sounds almost offended. A moment later: ] Why not 2001: A Space Odyssey? Classics are classic for a reason.

[ Reid brightens at the first comment as a nice, reasonable explanation, and then his expression totally blanks at the second statement. ]

I-- [ He stops. Okay. Okay, they can handle this. Instead, a whole tumult of words spill out, unbidden: ] 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968 and was produced by Stanley Kubrick in conjunction with Arthur C. Clarke, based loosely on Clarke's short story the Sentinel. Completely aside from the justified notoriety of Kubrick and Clarke within their respective creative domains, it's been selected by the Library of Congress for the National Film Registry, a selection of works considered the most influential and significant in America's cultural heritage. It's also been consistently rated as among the top ten films of all time.

[ Pause. ]

They should have a copy.

[ How do you not know what it is???? ]
