Dorm Log: the millionth revenge

[raw_angel_power]

Who: smosh ocodomy
What: Dorm log! SUMMER BREAK EDITION!
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus. Everything is acceptable.
When: The span of July 11 - July 22
Warnings: Imagine college, only with more super mushrooms-- WAIT NO lollipop drugs are the craze these days.

Ripped off the last one and all its friends: Basically, here's what's going down. 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! Whatever you want. It can all be yours if you make a thread. So have at it! Don't let this log get away untagged.

Keep in mind that starting the 17th, the school will progressively be inundated with flood waters.

[obfuskate]

No, that is--

[Wait.

A look of realization dawns upon him. He... didn't retaliate? He didn't start posing any stupid questions? He understood him?

Shadow looks down at him, all annoyance in his expression wiped clean away, a rarity in itself.]

... You won't?

[breaks_pots]

[He hadn't immediately understood, but Link wasn't stupid. He just needed information laid out clearly for him to understand. As stilted as Shadow's answers had been, he'd gotten enough pieces to put the puzzle together.

Link gave a nod - just the one - and offered a small smile.]

I promise not to touch your extra gloves again.

GODDDDDDD THESE TWOGSHFJKghg

[obfuskate]

[... ...

Shadow dips his head just slightly, not out of guilt, but out of genuine amazement that someone is being this... considerate. He's used to the standard Sonic manner of handling things, namely the idea that he would likely just rip his gloves off without care.

This kid, however, is putting him on enough of a pedestal to care.

... Interesting.]

Hn. Alright.

[Not a huffy or flat `fine`, but an `alright`. That's a surprising step up.

He steps aside from the closet, allowing the kid enough space to get out. As he does so, he mutters something with a flip of his head to the side, something that might have vaguely sounded like a, "Thank you."]

[breaks_pots]

[Link slipped out of the closet and into the room proper, heading over to the beds and crawling up on one of them so he could sit down on it.]

You have a lot of stuff.

[obfuskate]

[At this point, he isn't sure how to react or what to say. Shadow sits on the bed a ways away from him, hands folded neatly on his lap and head still tilted away.]

... I doubt my `stuff` amounts to as much as most.

[breaks_pots]

Does it need to?

[Shadow had more than Link. Most people at the school had more stuff than Link. And it was all more than Link could carry on his person. That qualified as 'a lot' as far as the boy was concerned. He used to have a lot of stuff, back in the Kokiri Forest. But he didn't anymore because it wasn't at the school with him.]

[obfuskate]

Of course not. I only require my bare necessities.

[He eyes him curiously. This kid is digging in peoples' closets for treasure. Just what is his situation, he wonders?

... Might as well find out. He doubts the kid will leave any time soon.]

Do you go `hunting for treasure` for a living?

[breaks_pots]

For a living?

[He didn't understand the question at all.]

[obfuskate]

... [SIGH. Okay. Fine. He'll rephrase that.]

Do you have to steal others' belongings in order to survive? [For necessities such as food, water, clothes, and the like.]

[breaks_pots]

[Link shook his head.]

No. I don't steal anything.

[He's not used to living in a place where he's not allowed to take what the believes he needs to get by. It's not stealing if it's expected and allowed. At worse it's the literal 'borrowing without intent to return'. Even then, he wouldn't think of it in those terms.]

[obfuskate]

... Then just what would you call taking materials from my closet?

[Shadow arched a brow, the look on his face a little menacing and astounded all at the same time. He didn't consider this stealing? How?]

[breaks_pots]

I didn't take anything. I was just looking for stuff I might need so I could take it if I did.

[Totally not stealing. Why you so upset?]

[obfuskate]

... Which would thus be stealing if you did.

[Stare.

How can children be this dumb, exactly?]

[breaks_pots]

If I need it, I can take it. That's not stealing.

[obfuskate]

If it originally belonged to someone else, it is stealing.

[CANNOT. POSSIBLY BE. THIS STUPID.]

[breaks_pots]

No it's not.

[Different cultures man, different cultures.]

[obfuskate]

[HMPH. Screw different cultures.]

If you asked anybody else, their answer would be the same as mine.

[breaks_pots]

But if I need it and it's not being used, then I can have it. That's not stealing.

[obfuskate]

... If this is somehow customary for you, that is not how mankind works here.

[This might not be a matter of stupidity, after all, just... lack of exposure. Regardless, it's ridiculous, and this child is going to have to adapt.]

[breaks_pots]

Why?

[obfuskate]

Because it is against the law.

[omg seriously

normally he'd have this kid tossed out by now

why does he tolerate him...]

[breaks_pots]

What's the law?

[because he genuinely likes you, shadow.]

[obfuskate]

... I will phrase it this way.

If you steal, you will be imprisoned for a given term, moreso if it is thieving of delicate materials like jewelry.

[THERE. GOSH.]

[breaks_pots]

What's imprisoned?

[He said it like it was a bad thing and Link still didn't understand what 'the law' was.]

[obfuskate]

... Being placed behind bars in a small room for however long they deem necessary.

...

You're serious.

[SERIOUSLY.]
