It had been a couple of hours since Alexia went on the Log flume ride with Root. However, she was dripping wet afterwards, so she decided to lay in the sun for an hour or two. She was seemingly beginning to forget the awful events that had unfolded in front of her own eyes. She knew she would not be able to forget it, as it carried a huge burden on her. But at least Alexia was feeling better. She thought to herself. She could possibly get back onto feeling normal again.
After time had passed, Alexia had dried off, yet her clothes were still dripping. Angry with this outcome she tried to find some new clothes. Until she eventually stumbled on into the theater.
"Woah," Alexia muttered to herself, looking at the huge screen presenting itself in front of her eyes. The screen was ginormous. Not like the television she was used to watching. Of course, she had heard about the cinema before, but she had never had the ability to see one for herself, It blew her away.
So, she decided to watch some films, approaching the bookshelf and staying far away from the display case. Which she knew what was placed inside. Reaching out to one of her favorite movies of all time... "Ride-along". She smiled whilst looking at the dusty display case.
She inserted in the disc and sat down on the comfy leather seats. Completely forgetting where she was as she engrossed herself into the movie.

Movies. Movies were safe
Tossing the laundry key lazily up in the air and catching it in her palm of one hand, while she secured a small armful of snacks in the other with a tasty sandwich crammed into her mouth as she walked. She still didn't know why Monokuma had made her take care of this stupid key to the laundry room, but he had done enough to insinuate that it was bad if she lost it and she wasn't allowed to refuse. Pff, whatever so she'd hold on to the stupid key. It wasn't like it was going to get used at all because nobody would ever kill. Not after Daisuke. Not after Joaquin.
So, she figured she might as well kill some time in the theater like she had pretty much every da since she had discovered this beautiful thing. To her surprise though as she opened the doors to the movies she was surprised to find that she wasn't alone today, as Alexia the police officer had decided to check out some fine works of cinema as well. Good, good. More people should watch movies here and do less killing, everything would be fine

Highly engrossed into the movie, Alexia could hear a certain muffle of what could be someone else in the theatre with her. We're they watching her? How long has they been here? Immideatley, her heart felt like it had stopped. " Is somebody trying to kill me?" She didn't rush to any conclusions, however, yet she was terrified of who could be sneaking up behind her. So she turned around. To her relief, Mariko was standing with her face stuffed with snacks. Looking at where Alexia sat. She must of just come in. Not that this was suprising. Mariko was the first person she would expect to be at the theatre. "Miff Tanafa? Whaf are you doinf herf?" Alexia heard Markio say with the little pronounciation she had from eating those snacks. To be honest, Alexia thought it was quite adorable. "Oh! Mariko," Alexia said acting surprised. "What are you doing here?" No matter how pointless that question may have been, Alexia thought it would be best to start a conversation. She fumbled for the remote and paused the movie, whilst beckoning to Mariko. "I hope the sleep hasn't been too much of a problem" Although most of her kindness was acted out, she did have some sympathy for her. She was an innocent girl who didn't need to be put through this. Just another reason to hate this organisation that is putting us through this. Mariko Nakazawa |

"What are you doing here?"
That seemed like kind of a silly question, no? Swallowing the bit of sandwich she had crammed into her gullet and wordlessly gestured with her other armful of goodies at the screen
"I was gonna watch some movies. Where else would a film director hang out, the laundromat?"
That said, Mariko dropped herself into the first seat of the back row and propped her legs up on the arm rest of the seat next to her. If Root totally hadn't decided that he hated her after all, this would have been a nice place to bring him to hang out and unwind a bit. Just there, where they could pretend for a few hours that everything was perfectly normal and they had nothing to worry about. No deaths, no murders, no missing family. Just two normal teenagers being happy like they swhould be in a fair world. totallynotonamoviedate, sheneverevenconsidereditshutup
I hope the sleep hasn't been too much of a problem"
Oh right, sleep. To be honest it was early enough that Mariko hadn't really felt it yet, there were a few sets before where she had pulled all nighters trying to get things just right, so while she was tired she had yet to fully get slapped in the face with it like some of the others probably did. Shaking her head in a way that made strands of green hair fly, Mariko debating explaining, decided that Alexia probably didn't want to hear about it and decided on a question of her own.
"What about you miss Tanaka? How have you been after..." A slight pause, as she tried to think of a delicate way to phrase this properly before pressing on. "Everything?"

Everything... That word couldn't even begin to describe the weeks she has had in this hell-hole. All it was was death, despair and hatred toward innocent people. She would rather Mariko would not bring it up. So, she decided to put her words in the bluntest and most direct answer, so they could change the subject. It was the last thing Alexia wanted to think about. "Fine..." She stated, making it clear that this conversation was off limits. "It was fine." Alexia did not want anyone to think she was weak. It would ruin her image as a police officer. Police officers only care about who they catch and not who gets injured or killed in the process. ... At least, that's what popular culture has made her believe. Besides, sharing how she truly felt to a half-stranger could be dangerous. No one would know what they could do with that information. They could use it against her. Find a way to murder her with that weakness. The list goes on. The point is that she can't trust anyone she doesn't know. Even somebody so innocent as Mariko.
Alexia turned back into her seat and slumped down into the leather chairs, watching the movie for a few seconds before turning around again to face Mariko. "Uh, You know..." She said softly, as if she was talking to a friend "I don't know that much about you..." It was at this time Alexia realized that Mariko could be thinking that she was trying to exploit information from her, like Ignia. But there was no turning back now, besides... She really did know nothing about the director.
"Would you mind filling me in? If you don't mind" 'Fill me in?' Alexia thought, 'jesus christ'... Alexia had no idea why the words came out of her mouth like that. It sounded so... menacing. It was probably the sleep. Even though Alexia could last without it. That does not mean that she would suffer like the others.
She just had to watch out for what she says from now on.

(still in the hospital, sorry for quality)
Fine.
Hmm. That didn't really seem like a normal, fine but whatever, she didn't want to be the one who turned how Alexia was so totally not fine into a whole thing, but the director settles back in her seat. People were growing tired, they were tense, as you would probbly suspect.
"I don't know that much about you..."[...]"Would you mind filling me in? If you don't mind"
"Huh?" Huh? her? The director blinks for a moment as if she were caught off guard at the totally fair question before brushing long bangs away from her eyes. "W-well, I don't mind, but I'm not sure I have anything really worth sharing to note..."

(I don't mind! Get well soon!^.^) "Oh, come on!" Alexia chuckled "Everyone has at least something interesting! I mean, hell! Look at us, we are Ultimates at a academy. We don't just get here by sheer dumb luck. There must be some backstory to how you became a film director, right?" ... What on earth was that? Alexia thought, it seemed as though the sleep was finally getting to her... But a change in her personality was just over the top. It was like she forgot who she was for a second... Or maybe... Alexia cleared her throat and tried to sustain her composure. Maybe it was the thought of Mariko that was changing it? She did not know... But she would try not to do it again. Mariko Nakazawa |

"Welll...."
To be honest there really wasn't some sort of great story about why and how she had started making movies, it had just been something that she had discovered she had been good at. That didn't seem like something that would satasify the crabby sleepy cop here and so Mariko, brushing long strands of green hair that kept getting in her eyes away from her face again paused, sucking on the inside of her cheek as she thought about the best way to phrase her story here
"It all started with my aunt, I guess. She gave me my first video camera."

"..." Alexia waited... "I-Is that all...? Oh, To be honest I was expecting something far more interesting..." She sunk into her chair, laughing at the recent joke the movie had shown. "I-I mean you don't just BECOME an ultimate... There is always something... I think..." Alexia was suspecting Mariko was hiding something. Something that she would not want Alexia knowing...

Was that it? She had told her from the beginning that there really wasn't a whole lot worth noting in her story. At the other girl's rather blunt question of "is that it?", the green haired girl simply shrugged in response, as if she didn't know what to tell the police officer next.
"I don't know what else to tell you, really. It'd just to get serious about it. First competition I won for a short film I did was when I was eleven, maybe younger."

“Ah…” Alexia found it odd that someone as unique as Mariko wouldn’t have at least some story behind it… It seemed almost natural for the group of unnatural people we were. Just a boring life going along as it usually would. But then, at this point, Alexia had no idea of what conversation topic she should bring up next.
She sunk into her chair, the film was nearing the end of its feature and it was on the final scene… But Alexia was not prepared for the next scene that came on screen. Instead of Kevin Hart running and tackling the bad guy in order to save Ice Cube’s sister. Instead he was nowhere to be found and the bad guy shot Ice cube, then his sister and finally, as if for comic relief, Kevin is pushed into scene and shot at. Finally, the bad guy looks at the screen and then shoots himself. The movie ended there…
“What the fuck is this??” Alexia stammered, trying to make sense of whether or not she was sleep deprived, or she actually saw what just occurred right in front of her. “D-Did you…?” Alexia turned to Mariko and back to the screen, as if desperate for an answer.
“Did you see that???”

"Hmm? See what?"
To be quite honest Mariko would have been watching the movie on screen with rapt attention. She studied each movie she watched as if she were reading a textbook and there was going to be a huge final exam and she was not at all fucking prepared and oh god somebody help her she was going to fail the year and --
...ahem. znyway, normally that would have been the case. As it was Mariko had dropped a few precious apples from her snug carrying case of her sweatshirt pockets and she had been down on the floor scooping them up while Alexia freaked out. Popping her head up, Mariko glances aroung trying to find the source of the trouble
"What'd I miss?"
