DORM LOGS: Now with EVENTS!

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! January edition.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of January to the earliest of Februaries (15th - 5th)
Warnings: YOU KNOW YOURSELVES

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! Just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and the characters that reside there (just for reference!). You do not have to use one character's thread as a dual-purpose for both characters if you do not want to. Doesn't have to be a dorm room, either, if you have something else in mind. It could be the common room or the student science lab or wherever.

BUT WAIT!!!!!!

This time, we're shaking things up. On certain days, there will be an event going on that might help if you can't think of a good scenario to kick off a thread with. Here is the list!*

1/18: Hypno's Naptime. Much like the anime episode of the same name, there are mysterious sleep waves pulsing through town. No one is sure where they're coming from- it could be a rowdy Hypno that took over a broadcasting station one day, or maybe it's the local Disco Drowzee club that opened up just recently and their collective moves are enough to make you snooze. Well, these sleep waves might make you catch onto some unexpected z's, but more likely they can give you strange effects. Don't limit it to thinking you're a Pokemon, either. They can trick you into believing you're something else entirely, or just give you the urge to slip on a chicken costume and table dance in front of a crowd without finding it socially inappropriate. Just. WEIRD STUFF, MAN. Anything is possible.
1/19 - 1/25: Nancy's going on vacation. That's right, you sorry saps aren't gonna know what to do with yourselves now that no one's cooking for you. There was gonna be a substitute lunch bear/lady/alien space creature, but for whatever reason, they never showed up. So now, everyone must FEND FOR THEMSELVES. How will you fare if you don't even know how to flip a spatula?
1/25 - 1/27: Ice Cream Blizzard. Oh, you poor, starving Smashers. Not only are you bereft of nutrition, but it's cold and snowing and you can barely get out of the building without freezing solid! You might just perish, but wait- if you step outside and try to catch snowflakes with your tongue, you might just realize that it's... snowing ICE CREAM?!
1/29-1/31: Goomba Infestation. Everything is Goombas for 2 days in the boys dorms. Bowser is dicking around with "Itchymarbles" again, and it just spills out across the entire dorms. This prank has the unfortunate side effect of, well, affecting everyone on campus, and not just Scratchy McMarbles, so you might wanna be careful opening that fridge, since the wrong kinds of mushrooms might start pouring out. Jumping on them might work, but it's gonna take a lot of hopscotch to decimate an entire roomful!

This is a bit of an experiment, so... we'll see what comes of this.

*Note: These were determined by rng. Any other suggestions will be recycled for next time if the event aspect is successful.

1/24

At this particular day, Chihiro had smiled brightly when he noticed a familiar face in one of the seats of the restaurant.

Bitting off his shyness, he walked up to Mac and waved, "hi coach, um, I never gotten around thanking you for the Christmas gift. So um, thanks again...!"

Mac was probably just about now getting his food, just a big beef burger and some fries for today. Honestly, he was very deep in his own thoughts as he had a lot on his mind. It wasn't like Mac to be out and about and immediately not being so outgoing. He didn't even start digging into his meal right away.

He was fiddling around with a box in his hand when Chihiro came over, quickly putting it in his coat pocket when he arrived. He bit his lower lip before making a small smile at one of his club attendees, nah, he was also a friend and he knew that too. Chihiro was a good guy with a good head, so he especially didn't want him to worry about his affairs. Well, he never liked people worrying about him to begin with.

He reminded himself to play cool and natural, and think on things later.

"Oh, hey! Uh, no problem, man. You eatin' here? C'mon, have a seat!"

It would be then, he would quickly ask for his waiter to come by and help serve his buddy. It all happened quick and he was half aware it came out that way; he was keeping his mind busy.

Chihiro accepted Mac's offer and took a seat. When the waiter soon arrived on their table, he meekly ordered a cheeseburger and a medium-size soda.

Once the waiter had left them by their device, the brunet started to fiddle with the hem of his shirt. He was still somewhat awkward hanging out with Mac outside of boxing practice. It wasn't because he was intimidating or anything- oh, far from that, his coach has been nothing but a very friendly person. It was just the idea of hanging out in general, and okay, maybe because Mac had a very nice build.

"So..." he finally stammered. "Have you, um, been holding out okay?"

Referring of course to the sudden leave of Nancy and the replacement not showing up. He sort of wondered if Mac was the type to cook for himself and just preferred eating out for the sake of convenience or that he wasn't that very good cooking.

The latter two would have been right, Chihiro. Mac couldn't cook to save his life, and at the risk of others. Unless if you ate fire for your meals, Mac was next to no help.

As silly as Mac seemed though, back on the subject at hand, his people skills were better than exceptional. He could tell Chihiro was nervous, so he aimed to make him not nervous.

But that was besides how he was feeling right now, which wasn't normal. He didn't want that to stop him though, he wanted to do what he always did with folks and not have them think something was up with him in the process.

"Me? I'm fine, better than fine," Mac white lied. "Hahaha, I ain't no cook so I've been eatin' out at places like these lately."

"I see," he nodded though he knew that something was off. But, he didn't felt particularly brave enough to ask Mac just yet, at least not now. What should he do... It was nosey of him to want to know, but he wanted to help in case it was something bad.

It was when the waiter returned with his order that he snapped back to reality. He politely thanked the man as his brain scrambled the quickest, and most okay, idea he could muster up on short notice.

"So... What have you been up to?" Genius.

Mac felt better once Chihiro got his food, so he felt like he could begin eating now. He got a huge bite of his burger as he tried to process what Chihiro asked. It was still warm, so no bite off his back. A good distraction too, what had he been up to? Aside from the normal things, thinking about the future really. Which made him slow himself down just a tad.

He really had to think though, he wanted this to be pleasant and not make him more nervous than he already was.

Which got him the idea maybe he could just talk about everything BUT what bugged him.

"Thinkin' about Boxin' Club a lot and what to do," he said. "Is it fun for ya, though?"

"Huh?" the question had taken him by surprise, admittedly. "O-of course, I'm a good time."

Why is it never easy to bring up a particular subject despite how much you really want to? Chihiro unconsciously took a bigger bite, eating over the burger when the expression 'eating him up' has yet to feel properly used in this situation.

Well crap, he didn't want him to get all flustered over it. Mac thought about what he wanted to bring up, because now he was on a roll with boxing club next to everything else. He had been thinking about what to do with it, and it helped him get his mind off of his problems at the moment.

"You are? Well, that's good to hear," he continued to say as he then took another bit of his burger.

"Cuz I've been thinkin' of doin' something big around maybe summertime, ain't sure yet but I really want to make the whole thing become somethin' great. If it's fun for ya, then I know it's something worth doin'."

"Something big?" He asked, curiosity had won over his concern momentarily.
