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.

You out of all of them. I am rather honored. What is it that you need answers of?

[Don't worry she won't bite. Much.]

[May as well lay it out bluntly. The being of knowledge might be partial to pixie tricks and equivocation, but he's never been one to shy away from learning a truth.]

What happened to Blacky... was it my fault?

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

[Her features are suddenly very soft, and she honestly thinks about it before answering.]

Did you know what would happen when you offered to take away her memories? Why did you offer it at all?

[betterthanawiki.livejournal.com]

...I was careless. I had not planned for the wunderkind's snooping.

[The implication lingering in the back of Uxie's mind is clear, however: a sin of omission is still a sin. For the being of knowledge to have been ignorant, even if he were ignorant of an outside force swaying the way things had meant to be...]

You knew as well as I did that she suffered. I thought perhaps... perhaps a blank slate would be a mercy.

Friends care for those they fear are hurt. You did this to aid her, she went to see if she was in trouble...

[She gets up again.]

You cared for her. But always remember that our gifts carry heavy consequences if everything is not completely thought over. [She pauses] But do not blame yourself for what happened. It was not a question of being careless. Sometimes even the most careful plan can be undone by a tiny, unexpected thing... [She would know.] [Now I suppose we can only watch and wait and see what the outcome will be...]

[betterthanawiki.livejournal.com]

...You're very kind, Original One.

[Said softly, sadly, but the words aren't so heavy as they were a moment ago.]

I hope that Blacky will feel the same way.

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

[She smiles at him.]

There will be hardships, but that happens with all creatures, does it not?

[She cradles him over her shoulder.]

Would you like to come see the stars with me?

[betterthanawiki.livejournal.com]

[And he simply clings to her, nodding quietly. Just for the moment, just for a precious few seconds, he's allowing himself to be the tiny little sprite he is, to seek childish solace in his mother's arms.]

...May I... open my eyes? I promise I won't look at you.

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

Of course you may.

[She looks up at the sky, how did they even get outside?]

The stars are beautiful tonight...

[betterthanawiki.livejournal.com]

[Oh, outside. Uxie tentatively opens his eyes, face turned away from Arceus. The last two times he opened them, he was first in a shaded forest, then in a darkened room -- both of them at night. The difference between that and an exposed night sky isn't much, but it's enough to have him squinting at first. It's been a long time since his eyes have been put to use, save for those brief little peeks into another set of eyes.]

Yes, they're breathtaking... it's been a terribly long time since I've seen them.

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

A few of them have exploded since then, admittedly. But look, the Mother Ursaring and the Baby Teddiursa still exist!

[She points to it, and draws a line from one star to the other, the air seems to sparkly where she 'drew' a line.

They don't look like bears at all, but that's humans for you.]
