Dorm Log The Sequel To End All Sequels

[makesitcool]

Who: COLLECTIVE YOU
What: Dorm log!
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus. If your heart dreams it, your fingers can type it.
When: The span of February 27 - March 13
Warnings: This log is yellow-taped with all kinds of potential warnings. If your filthy imagination can conjure it, this log can produce it.

Ripped off the last one and all its friends: Basically, here's how this works. 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. Feel like drawing graffiti on Professor Jin's door? Apologizing for the aftermath of the latest cupidbot fiasco? Doing each others' hair and talking about boys? Giving your trusted(?!?) friends a free ride in the dryer? Staying up late at night making use of those dick-shaped cake pans you found in the cupboard? Man, I don't care, just do it! Don't let this log get away untagged.

Password? The word was as much of a puzzle to Maisy as the word code was for Manah. She tried to think about it, but shook her head.

"Do you think they're strange tooo? But my friend's showing me how to use one, and she said you can use it to talk to lots of peopleee. I like that. Do you do that with youuurs?" Speaking, Maisy looked at the computer on Manah's desk. "Talk to frieeends?"

[speaknotthewatchers]

"Computers are very strange," Manah agreed. "I do use it to talk to other people in the school." She didn't necessarily have friends to speak of, but she did talk to other people and even people she didn't want to talk to (but that was mostly his fault for bothering her). "That is it's only purpose for me."

[fluffsyou]

"We should talk with them too!" Maisy decided, the idea of it fun- as if it was somehow exciting. Well, for the girl who had never done it before, it would be a new experience.

"I can come visit you and we can talk this waaayy..." a pause, as she thought about it. "... maa, but if it rains, we can talk on the compuuuuter! Is that okaaay? I like talking to people too."

[speaknotthewatchers]

Manah nodded. "That sounds like an excellent idea." It was fun to have someone to chat with, but it was also fun to chat with someone in person. "We could have the best of both."

[fluffsyou]

"Ma!" A brilliant idea. And the subject seemed like a good one to follow up with talking more right now. With a smile, Maisy asked Manah, "Can we talk nooow? What do you do at school? Are you a teeeacher?"

Manah, with her office, certainly didn't seem like the average student. The girl was sure she had read something in particular on the door of room, but she didn't have a clue of what it meant.

[speaknotthewatchers]

"We can always talk," Manah smiled. "I'm the guidance councilor here. I help students choose their classes and possible paths for their future." Manah was hardly the proper person to do so. She spent her early years destroying most of the region in the name of the gods, then lived the rest believing it wasn't her, that she was fighting the good fight and trying to save the world. She thoroughly believed in her cause and persuaded people to help her free the world from the malicious gods. She was good at guiding people, simply not in the best way.

"I also lend an ear for whoever needs to talk." Now this she was good at doing.

[fluffsyou]

"Maaa, so talking is your specialllty?" It was a little funny, given their previous agreement to talk to each other, but Maisy found it most of it all intriguing. Mister Gordon had his science, and Manah had her talking! It sounded like a neat thing, to be able to help people by apparently just talking to them.

[speaknotthewatchers]

Manah had never really thought about it that way, as she was always seen as rather under qualified for the position. But if it was one thing she could do, it was talk, and she was very charismatic. People listened to her.

"It does seem that way, doesn't it?"

[fluffsyou]

Maisy nodded her head eagerly. "It sounds like fuuun," she admitted. "If you help people with classees, does that mean you take them tooo? What classes do you go tooo?"

Though Maisy couldn't remember seeing the woman in any of hers. Maybe she only took some?

[speaknotthewatchers]

She shook her head. "I don't go to any."

[fluffsyou]

"So what do you doooo? How do you help?"

[speaknotthewatchers]

"I try to help students find classes best suited to their strengths and ones to help improve weaknesses," Manah replied. It was important to be well-rounded.

[fluffsyou]

"Maa..." That sounded sensible, though it made Maisy think about her own classes and if she picked good ones like that. Weaknesses... she definitely picked a lot to cover her weaknesses, which was a lot of things. But it had been out of an interest for them.

But did she have any strengths? The Mareep couldn't think of anything she took for that.

"How do you pick a strong classs?" she asked. "Gold helped me pick my classsees, and I took the ones my frieends are iiin too... but I'm not very gooood in theem. I have to study everydaaay."

[speaknotthewatchers]

"Think about things you like to do," Manah replied. "Do you like art? Sciences? Sports?" She'd gotten pretty good at helping people find classes over the years, despite schools being so incredibly different here than at home. Not that there was much in the way of schools, but Manah did have an education.

"It is okay to have hard classes," Manah added. "Then you can make yourself stronger."

[fluffsyou]

Hmmm, what did Maisy like? She had to think about that, and she tilted her head a bit as she sat there.

"Art's.... drawiiiings and colours, riiight? And sports is... iiss... maaa.."

Ah, didn't Gold say the word once? But though she was usually good at remembering things, Maisy couldn't quite recall what it was. Science, though, she knew that from Mister Gordon.

[speaknotthewatchers]

Manah nodded. "There is a painting class here. Dance and theater as well. "Those seem like they would work well for you." Well Manah could attempt to explain sports but she didn't exactly know them either.

[fluffsyou]

"They doooo?" Really? That surprised Maisy, but the look of surprise was replaced quickly enough with a smile. "I know Garrry, he does the paiinting. I don't mind playing with him!"

If Manah said so, maybe she should try them? The idea played around in her mind. Maybe just one or three more classes wouldn't matter, right? Even though taking them had been surprisingly tiring, she had found out rather quickly.

[speaknotthewatchers]

Manah nodded. "I think you should sign up for the classes or even just one to start. I bet you'll enjoy them."

[fluffsyou]

"Okay!" Well, Maisy was convinced! She'll find herself in a class someday. But at that, Maisy asked, "Why don't you come to class tooo? You could have fun too, Maaanaaah."

[speaknotthewatchers]

Now there was an interesting thought. She was faculty but it wasn't that Manah really did much with her position. People talked and she advised. That was it, really. "That does sound like fun."
