Dorm Log!

[ohjeffums.livejournal.com]

Who: It's OPEN. (Anyone)
What: Dorm hijinks and etc. Whatever you want.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond.
When: January 20-31
Warnings: Not even gonna.

Remembuh me? The roomie log turned out to be a success, and a lot of really awesome interactions took place. Because of this, I've decided it was about time to post round two. The name has been changed a little because I think it reflects the premise slightly better.

Basically, here's what this is: we all know our characters experience downtime after classes and their busy schedules, and this is a good portal 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 and the like. Some examples can be seen in the link I provided if you fight through the buttload of comments in case I'm sort of unclear.

So how do we start? It's up to you, really. Don't have any plans with anyone else but want your character bugged? Start a thread. It helps to staple dates and times, but you can keep that completely ambiguous if you really don't care/it doesn't matter. So disembark and wreak havoc amongst yourselves! Set up karaoke and sing loudly to further improve relations with dorm neighbors! Jack cylindrical fluorescent light bulbs from the supply closet and fight like Jedi Masters! Build couch forts with other people's laundry! (...ew?) Hold a "study session" with that special someone of yours! Harass teachers and students alike with your inane questions! What bountiful possibilities await you.

Well, what an interesting sort of events, huh. He didn't know what to think of it all. Mac's face was just being smooshed by those vines. And he stood there. He tried to say, "Hey there, Tangrowth". But the smooshies made it come out like, "Mmmey mmwere, Tuungrommph."

There was another tense moment of staring before Tangrowth seemed to decide she knew what she was going to be doing with this boxer. The course of action apparently involved trying to pick up Mac under her arm and barreling deeper into the growth of the green house.

The plan probably would have succeeded to some extent if it hand't been for the gentle chiding coming from behind her. "Tangrowth. None of that today, miss."

"Woobleihgihjkranrizgjkfh."

Well whatever that meant. Tangrowth was gone as quickly as she had appeared, leaving the poor boxer alone with the gym leader who looked like she had just woken up from a nap. She hid a small yawn behind her sleeve and smiled at Mac. "Hello."

Mac was admittedly a little freaked out when Tangrowth was picking him up, what's she going to do. He was ready to plead that she'd put him down. Not with aggression, but with...oh dear god, he just wants DOWN. He was seriously about to say something until Erika came along. And Mac was totally cool because his feet were on the ground. Oh thank god.

He took a deep sigh from that and continued his merry business, shakeeee it off. "Hey, Miss Erika," he had said then. He did notice her tiredness. "I'm sorry, were you sleepin'?"

"Mm, just a catnap, I suppose... certainly nothing worth apologizing over," she assured him with a smile. "I do apologize for Tangrowth though. I think she was going to bring you to see me. ... I think." Erika looked off in the direction the giant ball of vines headed as she thought about it for a moment. Huh.

"Ah, but how are you today?"

Re: DAH GREENHOWZ

Tangrowth, you are silly. But Mac forgives, okay. Even if he'll have vine nightmares for weeks now. "It was...surprisin' but I don't think she meant any harm or anythin'. Didn't seem it. So she's fine. Just gave me a bit of a shock."

No, it was nearing "scare". But, oh well.

"Oh, me? Y'know, just gettin' through normal stuff."

Normal stuff plus a number of problems. But, oh well.

Erika chuckled. "She never means harm, but she can certainly be... surprising, as you say. I'll remind her later that there are better ways to escort someone through the greenhouse."

She made a motion for him to follow her, and they could have a nice walk. "Classes and things? How does your semester look this time around?"

Mac shrugged, he seemed to drop the issue already. Pretty forgiving, he is.

And as Erika gestured, Mac followed. Idle talk about classes seemed fine. "It's lookin' good. I got a good set of classes. Plenty to keep me busy."

[natureprincess]

AND THEN SHE ASKED ALL ABOUT GIOVANNI'S SECRET LIFE wait we already did that.

She nodded along. "That's good. I hope not too busy. It's good to have a break now and again," said the pot to the kettle. "And how has the boxing been?" Erika admittedly was not very in the know about the sport Mac participated in. Was this a busy time of year for it? A slow spurt? "... Does it work in seasons like other games or..."

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

And then Mac talked so much about boxing, Erika's ear fell off.

Mac perked when boxing was brought up, as always. "Great! It's been goin' great! If I ain't in the ring, I trainin' for it everyday like always." Mac replied happily. Hmm, and a question was asked. "Well, the league I'm in is year round. Matches are scheduled all the time. Boxin' takes no season breaks at the WVBA. Heck, my next match is around the corner."

[natureprincess]

Well that sounded all very busy. Erika imagined it must have been a tougher lifestyle than Mac let on, but as long as it was something that made him happy. She smiled. "I see! That must be very exciting then."

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

"It is! You know me, I feel like I'm livin' when I box!" Mac said. "I know it's all alot of work, but it's all worth it, y'know?"

[natureprincess]

She gave a soft laugh. "I can understand that sentiment perfectly well," she said with a knowing smile. They were not the same thing by any degrees, but every passion could be very satisfying. Erika gave a fond glance around her at the greenhouse. Yes, they could be incredibly worth it.
