The Puppets Have Found Out About The Movies

[Jester (pm_jester@livejournal.com)]
Someone has painted a message in poster paints on a bare section of nexus wall.

It says:

If there is fiction here about you, what did you think of it? Can you still keep something a secret if anyone could find out from a $1 movie rental?

At the bottom of the wall are empty containers of poster paint, a plastic milk crate, and a paint brush duct taped to a discarded car radio antenna. The latter is extended. It had taken some effort to paint the message at close to average eye height.

Sitting on an endtable not too far away is a small, antique wooden jester marionette, only about twenty inches tall. He's not moving for now, planning to just watch without attracting too much attention... but he's not putting the effort into that he usually would. Next to him is a VHS tape of a B-Horror movie titled 'Puppet Master'. Even without moving he might seem a little embarrassed about the tagline...
