DORM LOGS: Now with EVENTS!

[raw_angel_power]

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.

Comments

That was the day Chihiro got to witness in action Kiyotaka's painfully slow texting. IT WASN'T SOMETHING HE DID VERY OFTEN just give him a minute here.

You were intoxicated. Things would have been worse if I did not take your drink.

[cplusplus]

In stark contrast, Kiyotaka would notice that this guy typed fast even on a small phone.

'Still... I remember doing things that even /I/ had a hard time believing.'

Not to mention that, in reality, they were at least a few things that he wished he could do without resolving into alcohol. Recalling what he had said about... a certain feature of Kiyotaka's made his face red and bowed in a mixture of shame and embarrassment.

[forgetbeam]

Whoa, look at those tiny girly fingers go. But Chihiro had grown up at a keyboard, and the one on a phone wasn't that far off. Kiyotaka felt his phone buzz with the message in no time, and he squinted at it for a second before deciding that if this was going to be a long conversation, he should probably make it a little easier on himself before the usual discomfort started. He pulled a soft case from his breast pocket and slipped on the reading glasses he was no longer ashamed to wear in front of other people.

There is no excuse for some of what you did, drunk or not.

[cplusplus]

He's good with his fingers, don't let yourself be fooled.

Chihiro blinked in surprise at the glasses, but thought nothing of it. He wore his own pair from time to time, though not as in dire need as Kiyotaka needed his, possibly. Regardless, it wasn't his place to make a comment.

'I know. That's why I wanted to try and at least apologize to you.'

He then sent another message shortly after the first one;

'I said quite a handful of inappropriate comments to you, Ishimaru-kun, I'm really sorry.'

[forgetbeam]

It was better to be safe than sorry, in his opinion.

That is not all that you did.

[cplusplus]

And many more wonderful things.

'I'm sorry, but what do you mean?'

At one hand he rather not know but on the other...

[forgetbeam]

This is just like that bad yaoi with his VA. "WITH ONLY A SINGLE FINGER..."

Do you not remember kissing me?

[cplusplus]

The phone dropped with a loud pang on the ground when he finished reading that text message.

"I... what." He squeaked, perhaps louder than he wanted.

[forgetbeam]

This is why you should hold your phone over the lunch table, Chihiro.

Kiyotaka wasn't sure if he should respond out loud or in text, but since Chihiro had asked aloud anyway...

"It was an unthreaded so far kiss, and there wasn't even any mistletoe!"

Just because the whole bar was packed with men kissing other men and ladies kissing ladies and all in between when the clock struck midnight, that didn't mean he was keen on joining in those festivities.

[cplusplus]

If it was possible, Chihiro heated up even further with the comment. Why did he do that? How did he do that?

"I..." For once, it wasn't nervousness that made Chihiro trailed off, but rather inability to think of a concrete answer; something that he hadn't done at least since his 'reunion' with Mondo. He ran a hand over his hair, actually, he felt like he should just pull it hard enough until his hair was ripped out of his head.

Seriously, how on Earth did he consider that a good idea. Forcing himself on his friend, just how crazy was that night?

"I'm... so sorry, Ishimaru-kun," he finally said although he was aware that there was no amount of apologies that he could give to the hall monitor to make up how he had acted.

[forgetbeam]

"Do you see now, why alcohol is bad for you? It leads to excessively foolish decisions like that! This is why I tried to prevent everyone from going to a bar in the first place!"

[cplusplus]

"It's just that..." he murmured, the last few words trailing off to an inaudible whisper. No, it was embarrassing to say, but...

[forgetbeam]

"It's just what? Speak up!"

Come on, Chihiro, anyone possibly feel nervous with those intense red eyes boring into their very soul like this?!

[cplusplus]

You try being at the end of the stick while having a small self-esteem.

"It felt good..." he said softly. "I-It was like... I could just act how I want to, even momentarily, without worrying..."

He couldn't deny it, he loved the fact he could speak freely but he also knew that it wasn't worth the consequences that would be hanging above his head the day after.

[forgetbeam]

His mind went back instantly to Vivian, and the unease in his soul when she insisted she was free. But he grit his teeth and remained firmly in the cage of his own making.

"Well, you were wrong! There are always consequences for your actions, no matter what! It's best to remember that!"

[cplusplus]

"... and I agree." With his head in shame and his movements trembling, he got up from his seat and bowed as one last apology.

There weren't anymore words he could say, heck, he'd been repeating his apologies since their conversation started. Chihiro simply walked away and hoped that things will be less awkward next time when they were alone.

[forgetbeam]

he picked up the phone chihiro left behind and sold it for drug money.

[cowardlyjustice]

and it was enough to last him a couple of weeks

[completeamalgam]

DON'T FUCKING UNDERESTIMATE HIM

you guys are so messed
