Roommate Partay!

Who: Everybody ever
What: OPEN LOG! ROOMIE LOG
Where: Your dorm room and beyond
When: From November 16-24
Warnings: Don't even get me started.

You heard the "what"! It's a roomie log! What does this mean for our dudes? It's a good way to build CR between characters who are meant to interact on a daily basis, but somehow you never really get the chance to stick them together otherwise, in logs or commentspam or whatever! Here is a good chance.

Before you start a thread, I'd suggest getting the okay from the other character's mun just in case. Basically, just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and take it where you will! Go crazy, do whatever. Story swapping. Bed jumping. Nail painting. Slug wars in sleeping bags. ~It can be yours, my friend, as long as you make a thread.~

Don't just limit yourself to one thread, either. If it so appeases you, you could hold a thread with more than just two characters (Man cave in BE-01), or if that one thread between your two dudes wasn't enough, make another one for a different time. Have fun, guys! Get ready to bug your roommates and next-door neighbors. BLOCK PARTY BLOCK PARTY and then the RAs kicked everyone out.

On one hand sdgdfsgf Kirby smooches. How nice.

On the other hand, Vinnie walking in on Kirby smooches was. A. Questionably good time.

So like in other awkward social situations, the appropriate response here was to make a sudden loud noise. Bulba promptly went, "OH" in a loud and distracting fashion. Awkward point at the couch. "He beat me to the couch."

Awkward point at the entertainment system. "Should we do things with planets first or shoot zombies." Because he could really go for some zombie death.

That wasn't forced at all. Sure.

"Okay, well, TINY HUGE WORLD might be better for you two." He cracked open the game case, ready to load it up.

Oh boy, it was video game time! He completely disregarded the awkwardness that was in the air and jumped around in his seat.

"Video game time poyo~!" He said ever so cheerfully. Sorry Bulba.

Whatever he'd get over it eventually. Clearly the secret to this was to stuff a flavor-dusted tortilla chip into his mouth as he flopped onto a seat on the couch. Oh yes. That was always the answer. So good. Nom nom nom.

"Works for me."

He grabbed a controller!

AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR AN ADORABLE AND DECEPTIVELY DIFFICULT SIDE SCROLLING GAME

Yeah, Vinnie would've felt bad making Kirby watch zombies getting splattered. He looked so young and cute, and it was technically rated Mature or something. But this was just as fun, even without the therapeutic violence.

And look you can dress your little Sackguy up! Vinnie chose yellow.

"Do you guys need the tutorial level?"

Oh boy oh man. Kirby picked up his controller to get ready. But he had no clue what this game is supposed to be.

"What do you do in the games poyo?" Obviously, he needed the tutorial level.

There was a little credits cutscene that played before the tutorial, so Vinnie took that opportunity to give the kid a quick run-down of the game.

"You wanna get from the start've the stage to the end. There's puzzles and obstacles and shit, and just about everything'll kill you, and your little Sackguy can only run, jump, and grab things. You can collect orbs and stickers and clothes too.

"Starts off easy, gets pretty hard. S'a lot more fun on multiplayer, cuz you need teamwork for some've the parts."

Bulba nodded along with the explanation, watching the Sackguy run around on the screen. It wasn't a game he had personal experience playing, but he had watched people play it from time to time.

"Sounds pretty to the point."

"Poyooo sounds like lots of fun poyo!" Teamwork always made things easy.

Vinnie was staring intensely at the screen, already totally into the game - even on the tutorial level?

"Yeah, it is. My guys play it a lot." It was pretty much made for their multi-player game nights, and even if you weren't that skilled, it was forgiving and adorable enough for it to still be fun.

The other saur was rapidly slipping into his game face as he tapped on the buttons on his controller. Go go, little sack man, go go. Oh no he could already see how this game could be very dangerous.

"...Man this is a lot easier than that Giana Sisters game." If they had been playing that they'd all be dead already. Several times over.

"Yeah, that one's oldschool hard," Vinnie agreed with a nod. His eyes were glued, and he was leaning forward toward the TV. "This one gets harder though. There's this one part with this hugeass wheel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YVfrxuBrJE&t=2m59s) I can never get."

MAAAN. Kirby never played much video games to know what they were talking about. He was also having some trouble getting used to the controls too. the thing wasn't turning the way he wanted...

It was probably for the best Kirby, that game was made of pain and suffering and was the most accidentally frustrating game in the world. ... Or most intentionally frustrating, as was often the case when Bulba played it with his team mates. He just wanted the electric flower gosh darnit why did they always knock him in the pit. Clearly it was a game they'd have to play later.

"Well can't wait for that part then." Tap tap tap. Just gonna jump his little sack dude up here and do a thing...

"Do you need any help with that, Kirby?"

Oh yeah, it looked like Kirby was kind of stuck. It was a pretty tricky jump with the physics in the game. "We'll just get to the next respawn point," muttered Vinnie, whose Sackboy was trying very hard to get some orbs just off to the side.

"Goldie, you pull that lever while I go in and get those stickers."

Okay that shook Bulba from his video game induced concentration. He shot Vinnie a bewildered look. "...Goldie?"

He was still going about pulling the lever though.

Sweet. The stickers were quickly nabbed. Vinnie was too busy figuring out where he could stick them on the in-game backdrop to notice Bulba was giving him a look.

"Yeah? Like your hair. Sis used t'be the same colour." Only back when he first met her, his nickname for Sasha was something more evocative of a urine stain. "Lucky jerks."

Collect all the orbs. Yesss.

"Poyoyo, Goldie poyo...!" Kirby laughed with his 'poyoyo's. ..And then he fell out of the screen and died.

"Aww poyo..." But he was busy having a giggling fit with the name.

Aw man that name was going to stick now wasn't it. He was just going to completely ignore it and keep playing the game. At least it could have been something a lot worse. Still, he slouched down on the couch a little. Goldie. His hair wasn't even entirely blond.

Ragh ragh ragh he was just going to mosey across the screen collecting orbs and getting to that respawn point.

It totally fit because Bulba's flower was all gold and that was what mattered. Yes it would stick. Until he thought of a better one. Because obviously these two guys needed matching nicknames - they were kinda cute together.

Respawn achieved! Kirby's Sackguy was revived again.

Still focused on being an orb-whore, Vinnie offered some words of encouragement. "You're doing okay, Pinky. Just watch out for the pits."

ALRIGHT time to try again! This time he needed to watch out for pits? GOT IT. He leaned closer to the TV as he started controlling his Sackguy again. If you were sitting too close to Kirby, you probably would be getting whacked when he swung his arms around trying his best to control his character.

Ow.

Pinky. It was just nickname central in here. Bulba tried to think of an appropriate counter name as he hopped his way up some platforms to hit that pile of orbs up there. Sadly everything coming to mind was kind of... not all that particularly pleasant. This whole getting along with his rival thing was still kind of a new experience oops. He'd just... keep calling him Vinnie.

It wasn't too long before the three of them managed to finish the level. Confetti and little party horns sounded as their points were tallied up at their podium: Vinnie came in with the most, with Bulba catching up behind him, and Kirby last. Not that Vinnie really paid attention to the scores anyway - as long as they finished the level, that was reward enough.

Vinnie beamed. "So, whadya you think of the game?"

"It's hard poyo." Kirby replied with a pout on his face, setting the controller down on the table. "I don't know how to time the jump poyo."

If he were the one actually going through the stage instead of the character he was controlling, he might have done a better job...

Bulba gave Kirby a little nudge, shooting the other boy a warm encouraging grin. "It can be pretty tricky at first, but I'm sure you'll get it with some practice. Every game's got a learning curve to it."

He leaned back a bit and cast Vinnie a glance. "It's pretty good so far."
