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.

tell me about gang fights big brother

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."
