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.

"Sure, OK!"

Sonny turned on the tap, making sure the water wasn't too hot or too cold. Hey, so what if it was a cold unfeeling mechanical attachment? He should treat it with the same kindness he'd treat anyone else's... limbs.

He squirted a little soap into the water and grabbed a dish cloth for Delta too, while he was at it.

The sensation of warm, soapy water surrounding Delta's cold unfeeling mechanical attachment was probably very nice. The impersonal metal was surely enjoying itself and thanking Sonny for the consideration.

The Big Daddy just gave his cooking compatriot another tip of his helmet and started heating up the water with his other hand. A comfortable boil should get it fully clean, right? Right.

"You sure that stuff is really cake material? Don't look very, ah, dessert worthy."

"You mean the soft tofu? I think it will work OK. I'm not really sure about curry cake in general so I might as well try two things I'm unsure about at the same time, right?"

No, Sonny. That's terrible.

"....that water isn't too hot is it?"
grimeofancientmariner: (surprised)

[personal profile] grimeofancientmariner 2014-04-21 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
The curry cake was sure to succeed - it was Delta's idea, after all, and those always work sometimes, no matter what curry may turn out to actually be.

But the tofu... if the resident cooking expert was unsure, that was not a good sign. His previous advice about learning new things seemed a little more trite with each glance he took at the bowl of white goop.

"'S fine. Let's get this over with."

Delta lifts his arm out of the sink, rotating the drill slowly at first but speeding up as he drags a towel down the ridges.

"How mucha this are we using?"

Sonny did a little mental math and figured it out.

"One big egg is about two ounces. So, we'll need six ounces of soft tofu. Let me get a measuring cup."

He bustled off to find a plastic measuring cup and pulled one out of a cupboard fairly quickly. "So, about three quarters of a cup should work!"
