Dorm Log The Sequel To End All Sequels

[makesitcool]

Who: COLLECTIVE YOU
What: Dorm log!
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus. If your heart dreams it, your fingers can type it.
When: The span of February 27 - March 13
Warnings: This log is yellow-taped with all kinds of potential warnings. If your filthy imagination can conjure it, this log can produce it.

Ripped off the last one and all its friends: Basically, here's how this works. We all know our characters experience downtime after classes and their busy schedules, and this is a good venue for those kinds of miscellaneous dorm-shenanigans to take place. Not only does it give your characters the easy chance to meet new people in a laid-back environment, but it's a good mechanism for strengthening CR. It's easy!

Feel free to begin in any way you please! Plan with (a) fellow player(s) if you'd like! Or, set up a thread and wait for characters to bite! Whatever you want. It can all be yours if you make a thread. Feel like drawing graffiti on Professor Jin's door? Apologizing for the aftermath of the latest cupidbot fiasco? Doing each others' hair and talking about boys? Giving your trusted(?!?) friends a free ride in the dryer? Staying up late at night making use of those dick-shaped cake pans you found in the cupboard? Man, I don't care, just do it! Don't let this log get away untagged.

Wheatley - Hallways and Library

[testgasm]

Having been restored to his robot body, Wheatley can most easily be found putting around the library, pretending to be productive. Usually, he causes more property damage than anything else, but he tries so hard. If you're looking for a book, he might be able to help you!

Beyond his usual library duties, he can also be found zipping down the rails in the halls, and given the chance, will talk your ears off about almost anything.

It begins

[trumped_card]

It just so happens that Celes was in the library as well, looking through a various novels in the romance section when she discovers...that book. The book that dares to not only call itself a romance novel, but to state that it is about a vampire falling in love. Whatever that...thing is, it was no vampire.

That book was...Twilight.

Just looking at it sent chills up the gambler's spine, but she knew what needed to be done. Taking a handkerchief out from her pocket, she placed it between her hand and the "book" and removed it from the shelf. Walking over to wherever Wheatley was in the library, Celes looked up at him.

"Ah...excuse me, are you the librarian's assistant?"

[testgasm]

Wheatley had been in a much better mood since returning to his proper robot form, cheerily greeting any and all arrivals to the library with the same kind of genial pep. It was important, he thought, especially because Vianca was usually so quiet and sullen (and lately, absent), so he'd made an extra point to be even more friendly than usual.

Celes, of course, would be no exception.

"Ah, yes!" He said upon being approached, zooming down his rail to meet her halfway. "Sure am. Junior Librarian, that's me. What can I do for you?"

[trumped_card]

"Well it's nothing major" she began, matching Wheatley's cheery and polite tone with her own. "I would just like to file a complaint. Would I be able to do so with you?"

She really hoped so. It didn't seem like the librarian was in, so she'd probably have to hunt her down otherwise.

[testgasm]

"Uh, sure."

He blinked a few times, seemingly confused that someone would have an issue with this BEAUTIFUL, PRISTINE LIBRARY full of BEAUTIFUL, PRISTINE BOOKS.

"What's the matter?"

[trumped_card]

Clearly the problem was that it wasn't a museum containing books he had already read.

"Well, it's just that I've noticed that the quality of this library, for the most part, has always been beyond average in most ways. It's neat, tidy, organized properly, and contains a diverse selection." after she says this, she raises up the book in her hand, handkerchief still rooted firmly between her hand and the cover. "However, I was looking through the isles, trying to find a decent read, when I happened to stumble upon this piece of...'literature'. Keep in mind this is a term I use loosely."

She pauses to let that sink it, then continues.

"At any rate, I've had the misfortune of reading this book, cover to cover, so believe me when I say that it does not fit in with our current selection. At all. Even the worse book here cannot compare to this abomination and frankly, everyone who works here should be ashamed for allowing it in. So I'd like to put in a request for its immediate termination."

[testgasm]

He blinked, apparently trying to process the concern.

"Well, uh, that's not my decision, really, you'll have to take it up with Vianca. Just because you didn't enjoy it doesn't mean it isn't a book. Books belong in the library."

If Wheatley had been capable of shrugging, he certainly would have done so.

"Just put it back, if you don't like it. S'not going to hurt anyone, it's just a book."

[trumped_card]

Yeah, Celes really didn't like this guy...er...robot. Still, she's known for her politeness so she'll keep up her manners.

"I'm aware that this is, technically, a book, that it technically belongs in the library, and that books cannot harm me. Still, I do appreciate the refresher, so for that you have my thanks." surprisingly, there's not a single hint of sarcasm in her voice. O

"At any rate, could you tell me when the librarian will be returning?"

[testgasm]

"Vianca? Oh, she's ill."

Truthfully, Wheatley isn't sure what's wrong, only that she'd handed over management of the library to him for the time being. It was a more difficult job than he'd anticipated--not the least of which because of questions like this.

"I can, uh. Ask her when she's feeling up to it."

WOW...THIS WENT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT...

[trumped_card]

"That won't be necessary. I visit the library frequently enough, when Vianca returns I'll be sure to ask her myself." honestly, it's not like asking the librarian herself would be any inconvenience at all. Besides, she'd prefer it honestly. Convincing people to do things was just in her nature.

[testgasm]

"Right, uh--"

Wheatley scooted backward ever-so-slightly on his rail, an indication that he was about to head on his way.

"Glad that's sorted, then."

[trumped_card]

She got the memo, a bit offended that he wanted to leave so soon. However, she didn't bother to object since she was more or less done with him any. So instead, she gave him a bright smile. "Thank you very much for your help."

And with that, she turned to leave, but not before putting the "book" back where it belonged.
