Dorm Log

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! Summertime special.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of July to the earliest of Augusts (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.

And don't forget: things are getting pretty freaky! Shadow bugs are still rife around the school and city, causing all kinds of trouble, but most significantly capable of cloning people and even objects. For the remainder of July, the dimensional lines are a little blurred and causing alternate universe versions of characters to show up. But something ever curiouser has started to show up on campus... Bubbles?

Subspace bubbles? They look kinda like the ones dotting the sky... Dare ye enter?

If you do, you'll find that it... just ends up being a portal to another part of the school. Sometimes they may lead you into some part of town. Weird! Hopefully it doesn't lead you anywhere embarrassing, like in the middle of a stage play or in the bathroom of the opposite sex. That's mortifying.


-------
7/27: Shadow bugs go wild and clone a bunch of office supplies. Do shadow bugs get bored or something? Beware of that stapler you're about to pick up... It might be a shadow bug clone! They're animate office supplies all around the school. At least it's easy to tell the difference between the real things and the animate ones, because the clones are purple. Unless, of course, your supplies are all purple. Then you're in a bind...er.

Also, they cloned the Kraken fountain and now it's come to life. Hope you brought some slippers.

8/1: You know those hazy purple-black pockets of subspace that keep showing up across the sky? Today, a humongous one swallowed up the sun completely. For almost all of the daylight hours, there will be a full-on solar eclipse. Aww, were you working on that golden tan? Too bad, buddy. You're gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

8/5: A herd of Towtow show up at the school overnight and stop to rest. They'll be there, napping all day with that peaceful look adorned on their faces. How cute! But you wouldn't want to see them angry... Maybe that's why you should be careful not to wake them up.

For reference, here are the rooming arrangements.

7/27 The Stadium : THE SHADOW BUGS HAVE THE SANDBAG

The sandbag is totally office supplies shut up

TODAY, Kumatora decided, was a good day for some training. And what better way to train than to punch a hole through a sandbag and maybe break her own record at the home-run contest. She was there, bright and early that morning, towing a baseball bat in one hand and dragging the sandbag to the platform with the other. What she didn't notice was the ominous purple hue in the sandbag's normally unsuspecting black cartoon eyes as she got everything set up. Setting the bat to one side, she cracked her knuckles and prepared to beat the crap out of the bag. A SWING AND... a miss?!

"The hell?" Kumatora gasped as the sandbag just slid backwards out of the way. Which was impossible. It was a sandbag. It didn't move.

There was a loud plomph noise behind her. She spun around and to her surprise, another had appeared there. Its cartoon eyes were noticeably more purple than the first's, and also looked angrier?

Suddenly, even more sandbags fell from the sky and landed around her, all staring with their angry, dead cartoon eyes. Slowly, Kumatora reached down and picked up the baseball bat. She was going to need it.

Mario had been scrounging around the stadium's storage looking for a sandbag or two to practice on, but they were all gone. When he finally tracked one down, it just got up and ran off!

He chased it outside to the stadium itself, and, uh... That was a lot of sandbags. He couldn't quite see any of the faces on them because they were all huddled up, but as he got closer one whipped around and glared at him with its super angry, purple eyes.

Oh. This didn't look normal. He saw a person between the gaps in the sandbag forest, so he asked, "Uh... These guys didn't-a get a new paint job or nothin', did they?"

Kumatora took her eyes off the horde of angry sandbags to find the newcomer. "Hell if I know! They're not supposed to move on their own, either!"
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

"No, I guess they ain't." That was worrying... "You need a hand with these guys, maybe?"

"Uh....." Kumatora looked around as the sandbags slowly started sliding, encircling her. "Maybe...?"
provolone_ranger: (mario you piece of shit)

"Hold on just a second," Mario said as he ran away back into the storage room. Any close listeners may have heard him rummage around and drop a baseball bat on his foot.

He ran back out with a hammer in his hands, and attempted to distract the sandbags. "Hey, over here!"
