Dorm Log: Scorching Summer Edition

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Shadow is easy to find. Relatively easy, at least. He can be found just about anywhere, in the halls loitering about, in the city, in the library, in the common room drinking tea, or heck, even his dorm. He tends to just relax and do whatever his mind drifts to most, namely reading or doing low-key activities.

Sometimes, he might even be spotted on a lounge chair by the pool, curled up, feeling asleep. You know the drill. ~~KNOCK HIM INTO THE POOL.~~ ]

[Action: Patrols]

Just because the commotion with the candies has died down, doesn't mean that Gordon has stopped in his patrols around the school. There's still a chance some whack-job will take out his hatred on a student even without the chemicals spurring them on. Every other day, alternating with Connor, he trudges the halls, the basement steam tunnels, and circles out to the lake and back as well as other areas where surveillance is low. He's suited during patrols, and stands out quite a bit in the orange and grey.

Bother him?

[Action: Labs]

[When he's not doing that, he's spending some time in the research labs in the basement of the math and science building. Different from the teaching labs, thse room is stuffed to the gills with odd equipment and scrawled over with equations on every possible surface. Schematics for a portal array litter the desk, as well as blocks of numbers arranged in rows and the occasional silly or lewd scribble.]

[He could be up and working, or he may very well be asleep and slumped over his desk with a frigid cup of coffee next to him.]

[Game network, hackable (with moderate effort)]

[Do you have a GameStationPlayBox and you're not afraid to use it? Or are you a member of the PC gamer master race? In any case, someone on the game network by the PlayTag of "LambdaDecay86" has rocket-jumped his way to the top of the PvP arenas. Which student IS he? IS it a he? NO ONE KNOWS.]

[...until you peer into Gordon's dorm, that is, and see him with controller or WASD keys in hand, the prime mover to all the violence going on on the screen.]

[Wanna play a game? Walk in on him? Hack his account and put his character in a tutu?]

[Action: Auto Shop]

There's a new vehicle in the auto shop. All white metal and bronze and wood, it sits quiescently with wings tucked under as Lucca rummages through the propulsor hatch in the back. Epoch needed a tune-up anyway, and after that chat with Knuckles, she can't wait to show it off!

[Action: Swimming in Kraken Lake]

It's TECHNICALLY not against the rules to go swimming in the lake on campus, is it? On the hottest day of the year, the rules tend to take a back seat to mechanisms for coping with the heat. A few of Lucca's effects are on the side of the lake--tank top, boots, helmet--and she herself is swimming in just her chest-binding and shorts.

Huh, she's a pretty strong swimmer for a fire mage.

Bug her? Jump in and scare her? Bring a radio and food and make a party out of it? Admonish her for not using sunscreen?

[Action: Around Campus]

It's not unusual to see Lucca reading; the more unsettling thing would be if she weren't, in fact. You can find her anywhere, sitting under trees, in the library, on the roof, just reading some huge tome or another. Talk to her?

BW-o4 might be a bit of a mess at the moment, at least on Riwane's side of the room. Clothes are everywhere, big duffle bags are half full and music is as loud as you'd expect from the chipper Charizard. The door, unless roomie decided to close it, is always slightly cracked open because she knows she won't hear anyone knocking, especially if she opts for using one of her many headsets instead of her speakers.

You'll find her going through her things as she either tossed whatever over her shoulder and onto the bed, or stuffs it into her one of her bags.

Carter's been to boarding schools before, and never having been the most popular of students, she's gotten used to taking up as little space as possible, and trying to bother her roommate as little as possible. But Riwane's nice enough, seems easy enough to get along with, that Carter's initial reaction to withdraw has mostly worn off. At least, enough to strike up a conversation when her roommate's behavior gets unusual.

"You're really tearing through that stuff, huh? Are you looking for something?"

[If Carter isn't in her dorm, chances are she won't be too hard to find elsewhere in the school, making a valiant effort to learn everything there is to know about the Smash Academy campus. If she isn't in her room or exploring - thankfully, without any drawing on the walls this time! - she is probably in the Library.]

Ellistree is rather active for these few days and with a never faltering smile one would be curious as to what she was up to. Throughout the days she seemed to be collecting different items. Party favors, food ingredients and many fire themed objects that she stored in her room, or at the nearby storage.

Any approach was met with a cheerful wave and greeting. Care to see what's up?

"Heh, naw. Jus'... tryin' ta figure out whut Ah'm takin' home for summer. Visitin' tha ol' farmers that own the place Ah grew up at an' Ah dunno whut ta bring. Gotta leave space fur souvenirs an' stuff too!"

Riwane smiled and held up a t-shirt with the words 'Firestarter' on it. "Least AH found mah favorite shirt!"

With a nod, she stuffed that one in her bag and looked over to her roomie.

"So, whut are yer plans fur Summer?"

So maybe he could be found holed up in BE-15 a little more often these days, considering he had no classes occupying his time. Of course, that meant more time to study for the ones coming up in the next year, and if he wasn't doing it in the dorm he was doing it in a quiet room in the library ~~that Wheatley's rails did not reach, OR DID THEY~~.

Or maybe he was patrolling the halls, keeping an eye out for troublemakers. Classes being out didn't mean that the school's (frustratingly lax and inconsistent) rules were no longer in place, after all.

Interestingly enough, for a guy who seemed like he'd happily spend his entire life cooped up indoors with his nose in a textbook, he took to spending a lot of time by the pool this season. When it's hot and your entire wardrobe consists of nothing but stuffy uniforms, you need to find any excuse you can not to wear them, right? Right.

It was now summer vacation, which meant that Phoenix had a lot of time to kill. And now that he had time to kill, he found himself a bit more lonely lately. Edgeworth had finally returned home, and while Phoenix was used to him coming and going from his life, it wasn't always easy. Especially when he didn't have the company of Maya. But he wasn't alone here. There were friends, and he had his very own Pokemon, something that still astonished him.

So he could be found a lot in his room, perhaps playing World of Warlords or watching The O RLY Factor on his television. (No, this particular show was not politically charged, thank you. Or if it was, at least Phoenix still remained mostly politically neutral.)

But he also spent time in the library researching more on this subject of Pokemon training. He made a commitment and he wanted to be a good trainer. (But seriously? They sent ten-year-old kids out there completely unarmed to go and catch wild animals? Why...?) And of course, he researched gardevoirs and Pokemon contests, since he figured that was going to be a much larger part of his life now.

And then he researched this whole drug problem. He felt he was getting closer to figuring it out, but... Ugh, why was this so hard?

Ever since Eggman had started his ridiculous totalitarian regime enforced by angry robots, Chell wanted less to do with this school. Besides, it was summertime now, and the weather was beautiful. She appreciated the weather whether it rained or was sunny, so she often just went outside. At least most of the time.

She would have just stayed away entirely, but she could only subsist so long on a certain supply of food. Besides, she would crave her closed space at times, since it was what she was used to.

So there were times where she was in her room resting with her cubes, or else she would leave during the day and simply stay out in the city through the night. No robots would hunt her down this time.

[What's a student doing in the teacher's dorms? It's a shortcut and it's air conditioned, and there is no rule saying not to intrude during the day. So maybe that is the reason. Or maybe some poor sap got suckered into running errands for a teacher. Or maybe you shouldn't ask questions if you know what's good for you. Suspend your disbelief, it's Smash Academy.

Whatever drew a certain two souls toward the teacher's dorm this day, the fate-changing scenario about to play out is what's important here.

Our story begins with one intrepid young hall monitor making his way through the building, when suddenly, the sound of explosions and gunfire catches his attention. Followed by the loud whine of a prebuscent boy, only 90% of his speech being picked up by his mic: "You're so dead, you sharking pussy fa--"

Wow, what a rude kid. More importantly, what the hell was going on and which door was that coming from?]

Byrne wasn't one to admit when he felt "happy." He wanted to believe he couldn't feel happy, that he was destined to live with guilt for the rest of his life. That's what he deserved, so any time he felt okay with his life, that he felt he could enjoy himself, he wanted to stop himself. It was a slow process, of course, but... Gradually he was able to feel better.

After all, he was in love. In love. He couldn't remember the last time he truly was in love - it was so long ago, probably several decades ago, since he wouldn't allow himself to feel these things. He had forgotten what it was like, the giddiness of realizing such a thing, accompanied by the utter regret.

But it was these things he kept in mind when he went about his daily life. A relatively content feeling meant now that sometimes in his room he actually played his guitar at times, gradually building up small calluses on his fingers from the strumming and the plucking. He could be reading books too, or else he was out at the gym training. Or taking a walk, or something. He still kept mostly to himself, of course.

[Eirika's own participation in things is mostly coincidental. Her own looking around is something caused by investigation and the knowledge she has on the academy and its layout can never be enough. In fact, it's her first day going through the teacher's hallways. Maybe she'll discover something useful.

"You're so dead, you sharking pussy fa--"

It's not what she expects to hear. She's not even sure what's really being said. But it's definitely captivating to the ear, and finding Ishimaru appears to be an asset to the cause. Surely he knows what's going on, so she watches him with his own personal journey to discovery.

And creeps up behind him.]

What was that?

[Boo. In a completely non boo way.]

Things had fallen to something of a dull roar, fortunately for Smash Academy's residential mute prince. Oddly enough he was meeting new people. Oddly enough he wasn't making enemies. Oddly enough Vianca had yet to give him a stern talking-to or anything else of that nature.

In short. All seemed relatively... good in Caim's world. And he doubted such a thing would last long. But perhaps he could simply hold onto it.

Wherever he might have been, shopping trips and eying his classroom with nostalgia, the man carried an odd bit of peace about him. It was probably the calmest he'd felt since his fated arrival when he fell from the ceiling into a crowded hallway of bad dancers and crappy music.

She couldn't stay still. She probably was meant to, but there was too much to be done. Too much for her to chase after and never find. Eirika was a bit one-track minded, an everlasting search for knowledge. An everlasting investigation on what she hoped to do away with.

It was true that the town had calmed itself a bit, or so it seemed. It was true that Eggman's martial law appeared to be working. But at the same time, she couldn't believe wholeheartedly that it would be the end of the issues endured. And though she wasn't to act alone, she felt that her own use of free time could be better spent for others than in self-indulgence. That compelled her to exploring the city, the academy grounds, and the other areas not often populated by crowds.

And she could be forgiven later if she somehow managed to get herself into trouble.

"YOU'RE SO DEAD, YOU SHARKING PUSSY FA--"

Gordon drowns out the angry pubescent squeak with another explosion.

"What's that? Can't hear you, kid!" Gordon adds blithely as virtual shrapnel goes flying. He leans back in the couch, crossing ankle over knee with a dark chuckle. He has no microphone on, so he thinks the only thing that will ever hear his musing is the video screen.

"YOU SHARKING BASSMASTERING MOTHERFLIPPER I'M COMING TO YOUR HOUSE AND WHEN I DO--"

"When you do it'll be past your bedtime!" BLAM, BANG, RATTATAT, BOOM!

[As high strung and prone to overreaction as Kiyotaka is, he isn't particularly jumpy (although slightly more wary of being caught alone than he was before the death trap that was his old school), so he does nothing more than quickly turn to face Eirika when she approaches him. If anything, he's more concerned with the fact that he's been caught leaning close to a door.]

I'm trying to figure that out right now! Someone may be in trouble!

[Not only is he not familiar with video games, but he's never seen an action movie, so the sound of digital gunfire and threats is pretty alarming. He points to the door he was all but pressing his ear against a moment ago.]

It came from in here!

[KNOCK KNOCK.]

Milimili isn't one to stick around in her room with her roommate, Eli. She doesn't need the room to sleep, so why bother going in there at all? Still, she can be found in her dorm room very infrequently - mostly during the morning.

Beyond that, Milimili can be found around campus. She's always awake and can be found practically everywhere - hell, she can even be found in your own dorm room if you look hard enough. That's only if she's ghosting about: she can also be found bumming around as a human.

She had a lot on her mind. That always happened during the summer. With no students to teach and no private sessions going on, it left her only to consider her own station. As she'd told Knuckles, she had plans to go visit the desert. Had to take Pit with her for his initiation and 'rite of passage.' Maybe they could go for a weekend. Or a week. She hadn't decided.

It'd be best to leave it up to him.

What else needed to be done? Visiting Angel Island to see how the younger girls were doing. Seeing Melissa. Reporting to Ganondorf. Plenty to do and not a lot of time to do it in.

But when she thought about it all, she suddenly felt so languid. And that resulted in her frequently sleeping or lounging about in her personal quarters. On occasion she was wandering the hallways or at the jewelry store in the city, but when in doubt, checking her room was the easiest way to locate her.

Ron can be found in his dorm room during the evening and in the morning. He could be doing any number of things, from watching TV to cooking to talking on the phone to... whatever.

During any other time of the day or even at night, he can be found patrolling campus. With the robots here, it's not too difficult of a task to keep things under control, but he's still a security guard. Just... He's relieved of duties more often than not. That also means that he can be found doing other things!

Regardless of where he's found, his general disposition seems to be a bit gloomy.

Edited 2013-06-17 02:47 (UTC)

You can find Ulki in his room sometimes, but he doesn't like to stay cooped up in there. ~~GET... IT... HAHAHAHAHA~~

He can also be found in his office, which is connected to the detention ~~dungeon~~ room. He still doesn't like to stay in there, either.

Most frequently, Ulki can be found outside. He can be found in the nearby forest or just anywhere in general on campus. No matter where he is, don't think he's not listening in on your hijinks...

She was still there, her attention diverted elsewhere than her village for the time being. Having taken Jon's advice, she'd been given a position, despite the idea that 'classes' had evidently been completed. Regardless, it seemed to suit her surprisingly well. Although she questioned the decency in guiding someone she didn't know.

Begrudgingly she imagined it'd make sense to her eventually.

Most of her time was spent in the trees above the woods, however, where she'd already made encampment for herself. It was away from the others, a little quieter, about as peaceful as it was going to get. And it granted her something that felt more familiar to home than the original room she was offered.

Hit a snare, it was likely Ziio's. The woman was nothing short of resourceful and clever.

[This guy is really loud. And she recognises Gordon right off to bat, though he doesn't necessarily sound like the guy she knows very well.

She looks to Ishimaru and simply eyes him, vaguely recognising him from the hot spring incident way back when. So he's actually a boy. He looks nice either way.]

That's Doctor Freeman.

[She motions to the door he's knocked on.] I mean, the voice from in there. I hope he's all right. [She looks more concerned than she sounds.]

Henry can occasionally be found in his dorm room shared with Innes, but he doesn't spend all of his time there.

Henry can also be found anywhere else on campus. Usually doing something weird. Feel free to specify the location if he is desired anywhere else.
