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.

"Actually, yeah! Ah have! Ah've been trying out all tha different kinds a' berries used in poffins! Ah even cooked some for Valentine's for a few friends!"

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Learning to cook, eh? Well, that's news. I'll have to sample your wares at some point. You may even get me to eat berries or vegetables or... whatever else it is you young folk eat nowadays if you ask me nice enough."

....Fine, so, he'd eat whatever she made just becasue it was her. But he was physically incapable of admitting something like that too readily!

[blazebottom]

"Ha! Y'know Ah can't stay away from meat! Ah was jus' learnin' 'bout berries so Ah can make poffins fer mah friends s'all. If ya want a meal, Ah can cook ya one next time ya pass by tha room!"

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"I'd be happy to eat anything you cooked, really." he admitted quietly with a small shrug as he poked at the fire with a stick. "Though, this pig ought to be fairly tasty, regardless."

Having finished the basic gutting and removal of skin with too much hair to be pleasantly edible, he started to work it onto a spit and pile rocks so that it could sit there and cook.

[blazebottom]

"Aww, Ah'll try n' nawt disappoint then! Ah've been gettin' better though, an' cookin' seems like a lotta fun as ya learn more ways ta make things."

She had been learning from online recipe sites and other sources which had some fun dishes she could get behind.

She licked her chompers and grinned, looking at the meal mighty hungrily.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"I'm relatively easy to please so I doubt you'd dissapoint with your efforts - You know me well enough by now to know that, I'd hope."

He smiled at her before setting the pig carefully over the fire. The skin immediately started to darken and crackle. Perfect.

"So, this fellow has a while to go before being done. What would you like to do in the meantime?"

[blazebottom]

"Hm, Ah kinda lost m' drive ta train rite now... How 'bout we jus' take tha moment ta jus' chill? If that's alrite with ya that is."

Frankly, all that talk earlier made her want more time to simply enjoy being alive.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Alright. I s'pose the giant rhino-bunnies can wait an evening to get their arses handed to them. But we train in the morning either way, alright?"

He had no problem with relaxing this evening, being as she seemed upset and everything. But he didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to test her skills against a more powerful opponent than they'd had lately.

[blazebottom]

"Sounds good ta me Moonshine. Wouldn't want ya thinkin' I got soft or sumtin'."

She sighed and looked over the fire before smiling. "Ah think Ah'll feel bettah once Ah git mah chompers on that food."

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Alright - sounds good. And I know you're not soft. Well, not entirely, anyway."

There were certain sections of her that were soft, certainly!

"The pig is going to take some time to cook - Even I don't generally nosh on raw pork. I wish I'd bought some salt, though. Always better with salt."

[blazebottom]

"Aw shucks, Ah guess nuthin' can be done 'bout that. Ah'll jus' have ta wait ta git mah nice meal on." she replied a bit defeated.

Falling back on the ground, she placed her arms behind her head, put one leg over the other and relaxed as she looked up at the sky.

"Think things will go back ta normal Moonshine?"

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Assume so. Someone will step in and do something eventually."

He didn't necessarily believe this entirely - as he'd said, this was a return to normality for him so a return to 'Final Destination Normality' would be a little odd.

"Oi, you ever go to the Ethics class with Cyrus?"

[blazebottom]

Riwane shook her head. "No, not really... Ah was told by a good handful of people nawt ta trust 'im so Ah haven't enrolled in any of his classes ta be honest. Why?" she asked curiously.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Hmm... he's pretty caught up in all this business. Not physically. I mean it just takes up a lot of his class and the things he talks about on the network. Not sure why the folk you've spoken to distrust him, but I've about three people in the entire world I trust and he's not one of them. Force of habit."

Nothing personal.

"He's actually been helpful to me, however. He's a trainer from Sinnoh and knows more than a fair bit about Pokemon. Gave me some good recommended reading and the like. In any case, he says it's up to use to change things... says we all have a responsibility to set this to rights. Not so clear on the methods, but says we all ought to be doing something."

[blazebottom]

"Something? Doing something has almost gotten a few killed... Ah don't know what we're supposed to do, but Ah agree, something needs to be done... What exactly? Well... Even Ah dun got a clue and Ah'm usually good at them things on the fly."

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"I told him it was up to Humankind to sort out their disfunction. I said it could be helped by certain folk... I did mention you. You know. The sunny ones, the ones who've a mind to get along with everyone. Big, bad wolves like me would simply make things worse, I fear. But lasses like you? You'd do more good than harm any day oif the week."

[blazebottom]

"You really think Ah help that much by jus' bein' me Moonshine?"

She hadn't really thought about it before. The old farm lady always taught them to keep your chin up, keep a smile on your face and things would be alright... but she didn't know if that would help with what was happening in FDC recently.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Wouldn't say so if I didn't think it. Look, most folk who met you who were in right mind would enjoy your company. Human or not, it doesn't matter - given a chance and without prejudices in the way, you've a personality most folk would find fun to have about."

And it was true - if even a grumpy, surly sonovabitch like Jon could enjoy her company, who wouldn't?

[blazebottom]

She finally smiled brightly and nodded, "Alrite! If ya say so, Ah'll go ahead an' jus' keep bein' me! An' hopefully that'll help folk feel happier an' maybe things will start changin' sum!"

She hoped...

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"You never know, luv."

In the meantime, however, Jon simply changed the position of their meal on the fire to help it cook evenly.

"Otherwise, keep concentrating on your studies and your friends and live life as normally as you can."

[blazebottom]

Riwane smiled, "Ya don't need ta be worryin' 'bout that Moonshine! Ah've been keepin' wit mah studies an' even have a study partner now too! Jolt's been helpin' me out an' such."

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Jolt... vague feeling I've seen him about campus. One of Green's, isn't he?" Jon asked, poking the porker with his knife to let the heat get further into the meat.

"You'd do well to learn whatever you can from him - His trainer has seen no small measure of success."

[blazebottom]

"Yeah! That's him! He's the one Ah told ya that went out dancin' wit me at tha club that night. He's real nice an' fun ta be with. Total bro as they say in these here parts." she laughed as she said it, smiling at Jon.

"That's whut Ah heard, yeah. Green seems ta have an amazin' record as a trainer."

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"That's him, eh? I see."

Jon would have to keep an eye out and see if he could catch Jolt at some point for a chat.

"If I remember what I've read and heard, he was Champion for a short stint till he was knocked from his perch by that Red fellow. Then he went and took over as Viridian's Gym Leader. At some point I daresay we'll challenge him and his team."

[blazebottom]

Riwane grinned and did a cheer, "Hell yeah! Ah totally wana test mah mettle against em! Though Ah have a feelin' they'll be playin' fer keeps so we're gunna need a team since they might use everyone they got on tha bench!"
