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.

"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!"

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"We'll need a team? We already have one. You and I." Jon replied teasingly. "What more could we need?"

[blazebottom]

Riwane laughed heartily. "A 'course we will! Ah know ya ain't a slave driver! As much as Ah'd love ta believe it, Ah won't be able ta take on six in a row! Maybe four." she said confidently, laughing in turn.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"....I think I need my ear hair trimmed. For a moment there... just a moment, mind... I thought I heard you say there was something you couldn't do! I know that's not something Riwane the Charizard would ever say, however, so it must be a build up of wax or parasitic ear mites or something."

[blazebottom]

Riwane laughed and punched his shoulder.

"Oh come off it Moonshine! Y'know Ah'd go for it all alone if I was certain Ah'd at least get a challenge, like facing four of em', but six is ovahkill, even for a lass like me!"

[whirlwind_wolfman]

Jon just smirked.

"Oh, alright. I suppose you've a point. There aren't any other candidates for our team exactly lining up, however, so, for the moment we'll just concentrate on working together, just the two of us."

He wasn't about to go through with catching Pokémon in the wild - no matter how much Jock said it was alright, he just couldn't see it as anything but kidnapping.

[blazebottom]

"Yeah... Ah know... Ah was kinda hopin' Rio would have come, or maybe you could recruit that Evvee. Ah guess we ain't really that appealin' or sumtin'"

Welp, way to depress yourself Riwane.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

"Well, Luv, you've got to look at their point of view. I'm a rookie trainer at the age of twenty two when most rookies are ten to twelve. I come from a place completely different to that of most other trainers, and I'm not even Human. Then, you've got the unfortunate combination of my personality... not the warmest and most welcoming lad about town, in case you've not noticed... and the fact that we generally meet other Pokémon in the same place Gym Leaders and former League Champs go to school."

He'd thought on this a lot, obviously.

"There's nothing wrong with our team, but the board IS stacked against us somewhat. As for that Eevee, you mean Evve? I'm not sure she'd ever want to battle. I took her hunting once, and l let her help me knock down a Chocobo in the woods out back. She felt pretty guilty about it, not that she said so out loud... I've a notion she's not so much a fighter."
