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.

ARE YOU PROPOSITIONING ME?

It's a serious question! Erectile dysfunction is a serious problem!

AHEM! It is however not my problem.

[WOW YAMADA]

I am just stuck with an...[However his problem is seemingly way more embarrassing to admit outright and his voice drops again into a whisper.] art block...

inspirethefire: Just give me a sec (I can do this really)

[personal profile] inspirethefire 2014-02-20 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh we're just going to move on from that conversation, are we, great, that's cool.]

I. I see. Uh, well.

[Just give him a second to recalibrate, man, you knocked him off his rails.]

Well--well that explains it! I'm far better qualified for that, anyway, so, er--great! Art must be very important to you to have you worked up so.

[He's good at that. He'll probably do it again in short time.]

Indeed! As a doujinshi artist, it doth my very life blood, my essence, my mana, my HP and PP! My pen is my sword, and the ink must flow like spice!

[And excited as he gets about it his slumps just as quickly.]

Uuuuuu... but I haven't been able to produce anything worthwhile in days. Ever since coming here I've been a bit out of my element, but I've been slowly rebuilding my repertoire. I can't stop now.

[Well, that burst of passionate nerding has helped Hajime get back into proper form.]

What? Since coming here?! But surely, this unique environment has lent nothing but inspiration to your craft!

Well...! [HUFF.] Yes and no.

Certainly there's things the likes of which I have never seen before. Real talking animals! Real angels! It's like something out of a fairy tale or some panfandom roleplaying universe.

But one artists work begets another. It's not so easy to buy doujinshis or mangas locally around here. That's what I mean!

[Gee Yamada maybe you could fix that.]
inspirethefire: (Bury your doubts)

[personal profile] inspirethefire 2014-03-10 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Creative minds feed off of one another. I see your meaning.

[It's Yamada, man, he probably doesn't.]

But, this need not be a handicap! Surely, should you at least get something out, it would inspire another to take up their pens and brushes, and join you in artistic expression!

[personal profile] mediumdivided 2014-03-16 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Inspire another...?

[And like magic the otaku's eyes glisten.] ...Yes! Yes!

[How could he so selfishly forget such a thing? This was his destiny, this was the fire that burned within him! Perhaps somewhat literally, Yamada stood feeling a heat of inspiration crackling like smoldering embers within his heart.]

This is what every author aspires for! Not to wallow in self-pity but to reach a mass audience! This is my life's work!

[Yes! Look at that fiery blaze, rekindled right before his eyes! Surely nothing can get in this young man's mission to share his art with the world!]

That's right! No one can achieve your dreams but you--only you can show the world exactly what you've got inside, what you can give to them!

[For better or for worse.]
