Dorm Log

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! April-May edition.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of April to the earlier half of May (25th - 15th)
Warnings: YOU KNOW YOURSELVES

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! Just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and the characters that reside there (just for reference!). You do not have to use one character's thread as a dual-purpose for both characters if you do not want to. Doesn't have to be a dorm room, either, if you have something else in mind. It could be the common room or the student science lab or wherever.

And keep in mind! There are shadow bugs afoot! They be crawlin' in your crannies!

Since it was well-received last time, we will continue the events. On certain days, there will be an event going on that might help if you can't think of a good scenario to kick off a thread with. In addition to the prevalence of shadow bugs, the list and dates are below.

------

April 28th; Apple Pie Golems: Apple Kid's 17th-dimensional ball of yarn (this is an invention from 4 years ago) gets tangled up and, regrettably, opens a portal to the Elemental Plane of Apple Cobbler. Apple pie golems come streaming in from the rift before it can be closed properly, and they are hungry for a slice of your character. It's fight or... die?! Or maybe fight and pie, depending on whether you win or not.

May 2nd; No-Pants Day: Someone must have funked up a spell in Magic Class, because now everyone's pants have become... sentient! And they're escaping! They're scrambling around without their owners, from shorts to trousers to even skirts! Skirts probably don't know how to run, so they float. Big difference. Even if you manage to nab them back, they'll just try and slip right off again. They're pretty violent. Even the pants in your drawers and closets aren't safe from this magical misdemeanor. Skivvies are strangely unaffected.

May 9th; Meteos Mayhem: Meteos blocks start to gradually descend upon the school grounds. It doesn't seem like a huge deal at first, but after a while, it gets to be a nuisance. Get it off my car! Why are there so many of them? When will they end?! If you're keen, you'll realize that if you line up blocks of like colors in a vertical or horizontal row of three or more, they'll... blast off into space? Weird, but kind of cool. And hey, it cleaned them up. Better not let them stack up too high! It's Trash Day for the whole school!

Flurrie didn't wear pants, so the sudden epidemic of pantslessness didn't affect her at all. She was just headed towards the cafeteria, taking the long way by the fountain because it was such a nice day out. It was then that she heard the warning and looked up to see- PANTS.

She screamed as they careened towards her faster than a pair of pants had a reason to.

Oh no no nonono--

At that distance, there was only one thing he can do to change its direction. He takes out his pistol--thankfully loaded with rubber bullets--and takes a shot at the suit-pant's midsection. As predicted, it staggers and changes its course, but only enough to pass the fluffy wind spirit by a few inches.

Gordon covers the distance between them in a half-sprint, panting when he speaks to her and still watching the leggy orange monstrosity take off into the trees. Whelp, there it goes. He wouldn't be able to chase it down anyway, and there are bigger priorities at hand.

"Are you all right?" He asks, finally looking to her.

Flurrie looks at the fleeing pants.

Then at Gordon's boxers.

Then at the fleeing pants again, right before they dash out of sight.

Then at Gordon. "Why are your pants running away?"

"I have no idea! This morning every pair I own had decided to go for a run without me."

He indicates with the gun in the vague direction of the escaped pair, then flips the safety on and stows it in a labcoat pocket. "THOSE are part of my Hazardous Environment Suit; damn things are probably worth as much half the equipment in my lab combined. That's why I prioritized them over a couple pair of jeans and slacks."

"How unfortunate." That was an understatement. Flurrie was now actively trying not to look at Gordon in his current state of dressed-down. "Perhaps you'd like a little help getting them back?"
trustycrowbar: (You're kidding right?)

Gordon wasn't necessarily self-conscious about these sorts of things, boxer shorts are still shorts after all. However he is cognizant of her reaction, and tugs his labcoat over him a little more with a cough.

"I admit, I'm in a little over my head." He admits. "I get the feeling this is the result of an spell in one of the basic magic classes going awry. I, ah, would appreciate the help."
