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.

As close to birthdays as we possibly can.

Here's a formula for a misunderstanding:

One [1] naive boy new to the world of romance
+
One [1] bouquet of red roses, as they were apparently a staple in this strange new world and even if he did not really get it, customs were meant to be followed
+
One [1] girlfriend who was not at her dorm
+
One [1] roommate who was.

Add equal amounts of each and an ill-fated knock on door BW-06, then sit back and watch.

The 21st sounds good?

Francine had been on edge ever since she spent all of Saturday either sleeping or hiding, but her upcoming birthday did take the stress off and give her something good to look forward to.

She still had her birthday on her mind when she opened her door to find one [1] naive boy holding one [1] bouquet of red roses, so for a few seconds she had trouble thinking of any explanation for this that did not involve her.

Were those flowers...for her? Because it was her birthday tomorrow?? Who was this guy again???

"Who are you again?"

Excellent

Of all the people who could have opened the door, he wasn't expecting a talking rabbit. And since he had been met with something that completely defied his expectations, it took him a second to recover, but really, he should have been prepared for the possibility of a shared dorm having more than one person answering the door to begin with.

"My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru," he began, hiding the bouquet behind his back. "I am looking for Asahina! Are you her roommate?"

Francine's head tilted subtly as she watched the bouquet swing out of sight. No birthday roses for her, it seemed.

But it did take her another moment to remember that she did indeed have a roommate. "I am. Who's asking for her?" She had a good guess that this might be ~the boyfriend~, but it never hurt to verify such a conclusion.
forgetbeam: (I think you get the POINT)

[personal profile] forgetbeam 2014-02-02 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"I just gave you my name!" There was no need to elaborate on it, as far as he was concerned. It wasn't like he was a little embarrassed about announcing his status to strangers or anything. No way. Never. It was totally, completely, one hundred percent just that it wasn't appropriate school behaviour. Yeah.

Francine threw up her paws defensively. "Okay, karat! I was just making sure! She doesn't exactly get a parade of men with flowers asking for her, you see."

Despite the light teasing she had thrown at Aoi and now Kiyotaka, she was genuinely glad that her roommate had found someone to be happy with. But she couldn't help but have a little fun with this.

"She isn't in right now, though."

"Oh." There was a pause while he considered his next move, then realize that he... hadn't really planned for this. Shoot.

"In that case, what is the standard procedure for this? Do I leave these with you?"

Sorry, Francine, that happiness for your roommate should probably actually be pity.
blue_karat: (Pretty people shouldn't have to think)

[personal profile] blue_karat 2014-02-08 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be pity if she actually knew a good answer to that question. Give her time, she'll figure him out eventually.

"I think it would be best to give them to her in person. It's more sentimental like that! I'll be leaving in a few hours anyway, karat, and I'm not sure if she'll back by then."

forgetbeam: (Can you feel it?!)

[personal profile] forgetbeam 2014-02-11 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, where did she go?! Aren't roommates supposed to keep each other up to date on these things!?"
blue_karat: (wow rude)

[personal profile] blue_karat 2014-02-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Francine leaned back slightly as he questioned her. Man, this guy was excitable.

"She went out for a run, karat! Aoi didn't specify where she went, but I would assume it's outdoors or in a spacious location!"

Francine, do you even know where people go to jog? Pretty sure you know nothing about jogging.
forgetbeam: (I'm going to stare a hole into your head)

I AM SO LATE

[personal profile] forgetbeam 2014-02-20 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"That could be anywhere!"

To be fair he would probably have to give the same answer if asked where his own roommate went off to whenever biking was involved. At least he could assume that was narrowed down to anywhere with a road. Jogging had no such limits.

"I'm far too busy to spend all day looking for her!" There it was. The true romantic soul revealed. He held the bouquet out again. "I'll need you to place these on her desk!"
blue_karat: (no1curr)

DON'T WORRY I AM A LATE TOO

[personal profile] blue_karat 2014-02-26 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It was so romantic, Francine swooned where she stood. Wait, no, that was just her shifting her weight, her posture expressing an uncomfortable annoyance. There were many things she could say about this, but she decided to tackle the most important topic.

"And I'm far too busy to wait around all day for her to come back!" Because she was almost the birthday girl and if anything people should be waiting around for her.

For what little it was worth, Francine did grab the bouquet; she had plenty of time put them in a vase and leave a note for Aoi if she needed to, but why mention that?
