heart and soul

The ground falls out beneath you. You're in midair, you're surrounded by swirling clouds, and there's nowhere stable to put your feet. The space between your body and the turbulence around you feels poorly defined as well; where do you end and your surroundings begin? Is there a stable you in the first place?

But eventually--

The ship at this point is above the clouds, but its lower decks disappear into a sea of white fluff. Occasionally, glints of lightning can be seen deep in the clouds, but up here, it's by and large peaceful.

This is nice.

How is it even staying in the air?

Magic?

They might be down below the clouds. You can't see any from here.

Heart logic.

The marquee atop it glitters.

Bucky Barnes stars as "The Steadfast Soldier"
Bucky Barnes stars as "The Supportive Friend"
Steve Rogers stars as "The Good Knight and Superhero"

In front of it, the ticket-taker's booth is small, but positioned right in front of the entrance so that it's hard to miss. Within it sits a man with dark hair, pointed ears, and a severe expression.

Re: THE UPPER DECK

That's right. Which means I get in free, all right? And I get to bring a guest.

"I suppose," the ticket-taker says, frowning a little.

Re: THE UPPER DECK

[defenceservice]

So here's my guest [indicates Dick] and we'll take two tickets for each. You know, in case we change our minds.

Re: THE UPPER DECK

[soldieronwards]

He doesn't actually hand out any tickets; he just gestures for the two of you to enter the theater. "Go ahead."

This is a strange theater.
