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.

Mondo Oowada - BE-15 and beyoooond

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Hey, it's that new guy who smashed up the boiler room on his way to school. He's been... around. He's got a lot on his mind. You would too if you'd been to a school full of mutual killing and went through the hell he did, having all his secrets exposed and eventually missing death by a mere hair. So he'll be doing a lot of things to help him cope a little better while he sorts his thoughts. There are quite a few places you're likely to catch him.

Outside on campus, where the sunlight and the fresh blowing air soothes him, is one of those. He'll go out for a quick walk around campus when he's taking a break from everything else. You'll find him in the autoshop, too, where he'll be tinkering with the bike he landed in on to keep himself busy. It got pretty banged up, and he figures maybe if he can restore it, he could put it to use somehow. Why waste it? He can also be found in the weight room from time to time, focusing on keeping his physical strength up. And of course, he can be in his dorm room, which is shared with Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Usually he'll be in here in the early mornings and during the night. Keep in mind this is also where he takes all his naps (besides the middle of class like the A+ student he is).

You may also spot this wild and dangerous creature around campus running quick personal errands, like grabbing a bite to eat or doing a load of laundry.

The Most Friendship-Destroying Event In Human History

[forgetbeam]

Oh, was it naptime for Mondo? That was a shame, because he wouldn't need to nap so often if he'd just follow a strict sleep routine! There was absolutely no sympathy from Ishimaru. He didn't even check to make sure his roommate was awake before swinging the door wide open, grinning from ear to ear.

"Brother! Look what I have found for us!"

Whatever it was, it looked like some kind of DVD case clutched proudly to his chest.

You're sleeping on the couch tonight.

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Ishimaru's racket caused him to stir, brow furrowing intensely as he was forcibly slammed into consciousness. Considering his nightmare, he wasn't in the mood for whatever Ishimaru was getting all giddy and worked up over. Groaning, he tossed over on his bed and wiped at his face to force all the bleariness away in one go. Then, he fixed his glare on his sunny roommate. Wasn't nearly as sharp as he wanted it to be when he was so sleepy.

"Oy, don't go waking me up in the middle of sleep like that!" he admonished, half-whining. "You shithead."

What could be so important? Knowing this guy, probably nothing, since that's what he liked to get worked up over. His eyes moved lower. Curiosity began to trickle in.

sad crying kiyo-tan out in the rain...

[forgetbeam]

"It's the middle of the day! You should be awake and be productive! Do not think I'll allow you to stay in here and be lazy!!"

How many times had he locked himself away in here snoozing the day away and stayed under Ishimaru's radar, anyway? If he was skipping class for this...!

He made a note to check back more often and make sure that wasn't the case. But for now, he wouldn't let himself get any more distracted from his current goal.

"Anyway, I will need you to be awake while we watch this together!" He held the box out with both hands and-- wow what the hell was that.

There's a roof over the couch so stop crying "in the rain" because it's pathetic

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Yeah, what the hell was that? Sunrise diaper porn Two words: Not important.

"What the fuck? You woke me up just to watch a stupid movie with me? You can't be serious..." He wasn't winning any points for nagging him about his sleeping habits. Like he could tell him when he could and couldn't sleep. What was he, his mother? "Bastard... I'm going back to bed."

The rain is actually my tears

[forgetbeam]

Ishimaru's become an official SHSL Naggy Mom since coming to Smash okay

"I would have woken you up anyway!" Man, if he knew that letting Mondo sleep as long as he wanted to after that first night was going to lead to him thinking he could do it every day, he would have enforced a strict morning regime immediately.

(Well, probably not. Ishimaru did end up sleeping in too after all that...)

"Besides, isn't watching a movie together supposed to be a good way to strengthen a bond? That's precisely why I took the time to find this!"

It would have been his first time watching anything with anyone for the sake of leisure. Or even alone, if it came to that. But his mind was pretty set on sharing his first experience with someone so dear to him, and so he refused to back down just yet.

He kept the DVD held out in front of him, ignoring the slowly developing ache in his arms.

The forecast is always rainy in Ishimaruland

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Pissed and groggy, the gang leader squinted at the box cover, looking much like he wanted to vaporize it out of thin air with melty eye lasers. "What kind of shit are you jerking me into? What makes you think I'm gonna watch something as fucking stupid as that?"

Ishimaru wasn't going to strengthen their bond like this. He was going to stretch it so thin it could be used as fishing line.

/uses corncob as an umbrella

[forgetbeam]

"It isn't stupid! The description on the back says it is a 'hilarious comedy' and it was given four and a half stars, so it will surely be enjoyable!"

Ah, yes. DVD covers could always be trusted...

"Look, it's even in Japanese."

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

He swiped the case right out of Ishimaru's straining grip to scrutinize the contents even more closely. It was like he was trying to aim for the sourest expression he could muster for the moment.

"The description on the back's telling me it's stupid."

[forgetbeam]

"It doesn't say that anywhere!"

He read every word on there, after all.

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Mondo pulled a face of incredulous disgust- not a far stretch from the expression he wore before. "Says it all over! You just didn't read between the lines." He tossed it backwards, and it did a million flips in midair before landing softly on the bed, blissfully unharmed.

[forgetbeam]

His entire body tensed as he watched the case flip through the air, as if in slow motion. What a relief to see it land on something soft! Still, he snatched it up, opening it to make sure that the contents weren't damaged.

"Don't treat school property like that!!"

He closed the case again, his mouth pressed into a thin line as he re-read the back. Well, fine. Mondo was just going to miss out on something truly amazing if he was going to keep on being like that. Ishimaru turned back towards the door.

"If you won't watch it with me, then there is nothing I can do. But you must get out of bed!"

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Now that he was turning heel and leaving, it finally hit Mondo that maybe he was being kind of a huge jerk. Ishimaru was naggy, sure. He had bad taste, sure. But what was really important here? All he wanted to do was spend time with him. That's it. And really, he kind of had a point about the whole napping thing. He'd been sleeping way too much for it to be healthy. It was as though he was trying to find any escape route possible from all the stress that had been breaking down on him recently. And holy hell, what a nightmare. Really, he could use a distraction. Didn't matter what. And there were a lot of worse things to be doing than spending time with Ishimaru. After this thread you will be proven wrong

"Oy. Hold on a sec. You wanna watch it so bad? I'm game. I'm done with sleep anyway and I'm bored out of my skull." With all the grace of a landslide he shifted himself off his bed, rolling his shoulders and stretching his neck to rid himself of the tension sleep gave him. "But it better be fucking worthwhile. Alright?"

[forgetbeam]

"What? You'll really watch it with me after all?"

It took conceding to get Mondo to change his mind?! Was he that desperate to feel like he'd won something or what? The reason didn't matter. Mostly. Ishimaru was just glad to hear that he'd spend some time with him after all and that he was going to stop wasting his day in bed! In the end, it was actually Ishimaru who had won.

Not that it was a contest or anything.

He brightened up almost instantly once the initial surprise wore off. "I guarantee you that you will like it!"

HA HA... HA...

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

If he could read minds, he'd get angry all over again and withhold his acceptance and turn this trainwreck around before it could derail into what was inevitably going to turn into The Most Friendship-Destroying Event in the History of Brokind. But he wasn't Super High School Level Psychic, so that didn't happen.

"We'll see about that..."

New challenge: Get Mondo to laugh even once.

[forgetbeam]

Ishimaru would definitely do enough of that for the both of them.

The real challenge was to see if Mondo could sit through more than ten minutes of this shit. And if he would permit Ishimaru to live after this.

tell me about gang fights big brother

[fluffsyou]

In all her time at the school, Maisy had never been to the autoshop. She had been to a strange laboratory, but never this place. The Mareep girl was never one to miss the chance to nosy into new places though once she saw unfamiliar territory, and so, with the door very much easy to open with her human hands, she opened it up, went inside, and had a look around at what she saw.

She also took in the smell of the place- it was strong to her nose. Reminded her of bikes. Of her friend Birdy Chora. It was strong in how unfamiliar and unused to it, but there was something appealing to it too.

But other than the smell, she heard the sounds, too- the sounds of someone else there! It caught Maisy's attention, and so she decided to see who it was, looking until she saw a monstrously tall figure perhaps lurched over. Ohhh...!!

Would one Mondo still be busy at work? Or realise there is a newcomer?

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

Sure he'd been busy monkeying around taking apart this busted motorcycle to see what he could do to get it running again, but that didn't mean he was so absorbed he wouldn't notice a tiny girl with bright puffy hair appear in the edge of his vision. At first, he didn't pay her any mind; he'd been so integrated with his work and his thoughts that the two of them ran like clockwork together, but soon he realized that she wasn't minding her own business because her business appeared to be him.

When he felt like giving up his focus and returning back to reality, he slid his iris to the corner of his eye and stared back at her. What was a girl like her doing in a place like this? After a short pause, he spoke. "Hey. You need somethin' over there?"

[fluffsyou]

Seeing new and peculiar sights was always a plus in the girl's book, and what the guy was working on was an intriguing one. Maisy hadn't intended to just watch him quietly all the while, but she did in the time she was allowed to before he stopped at his work. The person had an interesting look to him himself, Maisy noticed.

"Nooo," she answered truthfully. "I wanted to loook." She took a few steps forward and carefully, watching out for the equipment near to her (but still mainly keeping Mondo and his vehicle in her sights).

"Is that okaaay? What are you dooing?"

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

"Seeing what I can do with this bike." Said bike was enormous on ridiculous levels, a psychedelic lime green paint job with equally bright pink swirls all over it and fun little stars, but most strikingly there were tigers on the fairings, towering exhaust pipes and a seat back that was just as high. It looked like it had taken a massive beating, though. Tools and parts were scattered around him, including an adorable pink bike horn that was so lovingly thrown even further aside. "It got crashed pretty badly. I'm just taking it apart to see what it's about."

[fluffsyou]

It was a bike? Maisy knew about bikes, but they had always been so much... smaller, and with less to them. This had to be the most impressive bike that the Mareep had ever laid her eyes on, for sure! She took in its details, or as much as she could, moving over to a spot that was close to both Mondo and it, but not too close. ... Buuut maybe near enough that she could pick up one of the tools too, if she reached out for them.

... which wouldn't be out of the question for Maisy's curiosity. She had never seen such things before, and didn't know the names of any of them. Too bad she hadn't spotted that beautiful pink horn! Instead (if not stopped from getting so close), the girl lowered herself down onto her knees to just look at the equipment and the vehicle for now.

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

He watched her carefully as she encroached upon his territory, but didn't raise a fuss. She seemed harmless, just curious was all. He still wondered what compelled her to wander over here in the first place. "So what brings you here to the shop? You lost or something?"

[fluffsyou]

As he spoke, she was about to put her hand on top of a wrench, but she looked up from the fanciful steel and to Mondo. To his question, she shook her head, and on her face appeared a smile.

"Nooo, I'm not loost. I was walking, and I sawww it!" she explained, her hovering hand touching down onto the floor instead. Maisy gave the room from her spot another interested look-around.

"I like exploring, so I wanted to see what was in here... there's so much stuuuff."

The amazement of that was evident in her voice, and her cheery expression seemed to brighten up more at the prospect of being in such a place. But she paused, thinking about something Mondo had said, and decided to ask him a question herself.

"This is a shop? Like a shop shop?"

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

"No. Not a shop you can buy things at. It's more like a workshop, where you can tune up automotives and stuff," he explained to satisfy her curiosity. "You know, like motorcycles and cars." He paused for a moment and scratched his head. "I've been seeing a lot of robots get worked on, too... So I guess you could say it's a place where you can work on all kinds of machines."

She didn't seem to have an interest in mechanics that was anything but passing, so he didn't bother asking whether she did or not. She didn't look like the type, either. How old was she, anyway? But there were a lot of leftover projects left by other people in here that would be interesting for her to check out, so he didn't blame her for taking her explorations here.

"That's why I'm here. The bike's not mine, but I ended up riding in on it." The gang leader's face twitched in regret upon leaving an opening for her to question how that was possible. "It's a long story I don't really want to get into, but... Anyway, it's been so long since I went out for a real ride, I decided to spend my time taking it apart and seeing if I can get it up and running again. It's such a weird bike, though... Never seen its model before."
