LOOK. UP IN THE SKY.

[mansionstaff]

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log!
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: March 13th - April 13th. The whole month.
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.

This month sees the added addition of the fallen Egg Carrier--the debris still litter the lakeside.

Thank you to Angela for the original text! Here are the school's living arrangements, for reference.

April 1st
OH NO IT'S APRIL FOOL'S. Crazy Hand is out and about, slapping unsuspecting students and faculty with fish stickers. What? If you are unfortunate enough to fall victim to his pranking ways, you might find yourself saddled with a minor curse (hair color change, uncontrollable sneezing, anything you want, really) for as long as the sticker is on your person. The catch--try as you might, you can't remove it. Someone else will have to take it off for you, which might be a tall order if the sticker makes you say everything backwards.

April 1st

[twotailedgenius]

Yeah, Tails wasn't happy either. Wave may catch the fox boy looking rather... well, ticked off, for lack of better terms. Not only did he have a fish sticker on him as well, but a very notable part of his body was gone. Well, one of two very notable parts of his body.

Most would find it okay, since now he looks like a normal fox!

... He doesn't. Because he can't fly without his second tail. So he needs to get this fish sticker off somehow.

Catching sight of a familiar face... with a different color for her feathers than normal, he offered a small wave.

"I hate April Fool's."

At least his tails weren't tied with pink fuzzy handcuffs this year.

Wave was storming around campus, trying to find some explanation for her mysterious ailment, when Tails showed up. She stumbled back in surprise when he called out to her. She didn't know if she'd ever get used to him being taller than her... "Don't scare me like that," she chided him. "What the hell's going on here anyway?" She looked him over, and immediately noticed something off about him. Well, more off than she thought he was already.

"...What happened to your second tail?"

[twotailedgenius]

His unamused expression turned to literal surprise for a moment. "Sorry." Then back to a neutral expression as he continued. "I don't know, but it has something to do with these fish stickers." He noted the one on Wave. "It made something happen to my second tail. So I can't fly."

[babylonmechanic]

"How would a fish sticker have anything to do with losing a tail?" Wave asked in disbelief. "It's just a stupid sticker! It's not like it's magic or anything!"

[twotailedgenius]

"Well, for one thing, when the sticker got slapped on me, I fell from the sky. Because I was flying before then." He then pointed to her sticker. "And your feathers probably weren't blue before you got that sticker put on you, either, right?"

Sometimes the direct route was the best one to take.

[babylonmechanic]

"I know, I know. But... It still doesn't make any sense," she retorted, visibly grumpy at the idea that he was right. "They're stickers. How would the same sticker remove your tail and turn me blue?"

[twotailedgenius]

"It doesn't make any scientific sense at all. But it's definitely happening." Even though it was pointless, he picked a bit at the sticker on him. "And there's no real explanation for that, either. Or why we can't get them off."

[babylonmechanic]

She sighed again, rubbing her forehead. "Haven't even been here long, and this place already feels like hell. Okay, so it's probably safe to assume we're not the only ones affected. We know the disembodied hand is slapping stickers on people. So we find the hand, and make him fix this."

[twotailedgenius]

Oh, that was her plan. Ha... ha ha... ha ha ha. "If only it were that easy. I think that was Crazy Hand, and we're probably not going to make that happen."

[babylonmechanic]

"And why not? Don't tell me you're scared, Foxy," Wave taunted, poking his chest.

[twotailedgenius]

"I'm not scared. I've just been here long enough to know that we're not going to be able to find him, let alone get him to take the stickers off."

[babylonmechanic]

"How hard could it be?" she asked. "Wait for him to find someone else to sticker, and then catch him in the act. Piece of cake."

[twotailedgenius]

"He's a giant hand. You really think we're going to be able to force him to take these stickers off?" He knows Crazy won't, but he's finding it hard to convince Wave this is a bad idea.

[babylonmechanic]

"What else are we supposed to do, huh? Just sit around and suffer for his amusement?" Wave asked, clearly irritated at her helplessness in the face of this prank taken to the extreme. She was used to laughing at other peoples' misfortunes. Not so much at her own.

[twotailedgenius]

He sighed. Maybe just giving it a try would make her realize how fruitless it was. Besides, just sitting here telling her is making her complain at him.

"Alright, alright, we'll go find him. We'll try." He'll just have to endure the inevitable complaining that'll come after their plan fails.

[babylonmechanic]

"It's better than doing nothing," Wave retorted, hand on her chin. "We can just pick someone likely to be a target, and stay near them. I nominate Blue Boy."

[twotailedgenius]

"Sonic?" He thought for a second. Well, if everyone was getting stickered... "Alright, it shouldn't be hard to find him."

[babylonmechanic]

"Where the heck does he hang out in this dump?" Wave asked.

[twotailedgenius]

"You never know. He's always out somewhere. Usually on rooftops." And, of course, Tails could fly, so it wouldn't be too hard to track Sonic down.

"Assuming he doesn't bump into us first."

[babylonmechanic]

"Then we go searching, and hope he bumps into us," she explained, grabbing Tails' hand without asking as she pulled him along.

[twotailedgenius]

"Okay then--ack!" And he's suddenly being pulled along and trying to keep up with her. Why this.

[mach_n_roll]

Meanwhile... up in the sky, it's a bird it's a plane it's Sonic. He's up on the roof, and he hasn't seen the commotion or heard his name dropped below, because he's... occupied, at the moment.

"...You hear somethin'?" He mutters into Blaze's ear when he finally breaks the kiss, shaking out the smoking gloved hand that was around her waist.

[vela_nova]

"I didn't hear anything," Blaze mumbled back, face flush, jacket half done up in the heat of the moment. It took so much concentration not to start overheating on him, and the smell of his burned glove told her that she needed to focus harder. Which was hard to do in the middle of a steamy makeout session.

"What is it?"

[mach_n_roll]

"Sounded kinda like Tails." He replies, peering over the edge of the roof. That explained his sudden good hearing; getting found by the fox boy would be like being caught by your kid brother, at least in his mind.

"HEY, whaddiya know, it is Tails!" he reports. "...And Wave?" and she's dragging hon somewhere. For a moment he worries, protective impulses kicking in, and then he notices that Tails isn't exactly resisting...

"I wonder what's going on." although he has a dim idea already. "Wanna go see, Blaze?"

[vela_nova]

With her coat zipped up, Blaze looked over the edge of the roof with him. "Whatever it is, something is definitely wrong," she explained. "Tails only has one tail."

She looked back at Sonic, and nodded. "We should probably check it out. Er... Sorry for the interruption," she added with a sheepish smile.
