Dorm Log

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! Summertime special.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of July to the earliest of Augusts (25th - 15th)
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.

And don't forget: things are getting pretty freaky! Shadow bugs are still rife around the school and city, causing all kinds of trouble, but most significantly capable of cloning people and even objects. For the remainder of July, the dimensional lines are a little blurred and causing alternate universe versions of characters to show up. But something ever curiouser has started to show up on campus... Bubbles?

Subspace bubbles? They look kinda like the ones dotting the sky... Dare ye enter?

If you do, you'll find that it... just ends up being a portal to another part of the school. Sometimes they may lead you into some part of town. Weird! Hopefully it doesn't lead you anywhere embarrassing, like in the middle of a stage play or in the bathroom of the opposite sex. That's mortifying.


-------
7/27: Shadow bugs go wild and clone a bunch of office supplies. Do shadow bugs get bored or something? Beware of that stapler you're about to pick up... It might be a shadow bug clone! They're animate office supplies all around the school. At least it's easy to tell the difference between the real things and the animate ones, because the clones are purple. Unless, of course, your supplies are all purple. Then you're in a bind...er.

Also, they cloned the Kraken fountain and now it's come to life. Hope you brought some slippers.

8/1: You know those hazy purple-black pockets of subspace that keep showing up across the sky? Today, a humongous one swallowed up the sun completely. For almost all of the daylight hours, there will be a full-on solar eclipse. Aww, were you working on that golden tan? Too bad, buddy. You're gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

8/5: A herd of Towtow show up at the school overnight and stop to rest. They'll be there, napping all day with that peaceful look adorned on their faces. How cute! But you wouldn't want to see them angry... Maybe that's why you should be careful not to wake them up.

For reference, here are the rooming arrangements.

Total solar eclipses were... actually kind of a new thing for this place. But Flint had stuff to do, so he wasn't going to let the pitch black stop him from attending his duties.

No, he was going to let the scary gasmask face he almost ran into when he opened one of the supply closets stop him in stead.

"What in the-!?" Flint let out a swear and jumped back at the sight of the heavily armed figure.

Joel shone a flashlight into Flint's face for a moment, verifying the identity of his fellow carpenter.

"It's just me. Joel." he said, lowering the mask to sit around his neck instead of over his face. It was... a reactionary thing, anyway. Wearing it. Dark places tended to have spores. Right now, everything was dark.

"Didn't mean t'startle you."

Flint let out a sigh. "Whaddya think you're doing, wandering around in the dark armed to the teeth like that?"
golonghorns: (About to tell some bullshit)

"I think I'm takin' care of things that ought to be taken care of." Joel replied. "The dark ain't anythin' good, these monsters seem to love it. So, I'm getting rid of a few while the getting is good."

"You really wanna be shooting things in the dark?" Flint asked. "Can those bug thing even be shot?"

"I got a flashlight." Joel said, shining it around for emphasis. "And sure. They can be shot. Short barrel shotgun to the head'll kill almost anything. Almost. And I have a flamethrower for the bigger ones and for when the bugs scatter."

He paused. "...you mean you ain't armed?"

"A flame...thrower..." Flint felt faint. "If you set anything on fire, it's on you to fix it, ya hear?"
golonghorns: (Yeah ok I'm listening)

"The heck do you think I am? Some kind've vandal?" Joel replied. Of course he was going to fix his own damage!

He wasn't Falcon, after all.
planking: (AAAAA)

"You have a flamethrower." Flint repeated as if that proved his point.

"In case you hadn't noticed, some of the folks around here can breathe fire. Some of 'em can set their fists on fire and punch holes in walls. Some of them walk around with live flames on the end of their long-ass dinosaur tails. Me usin' this thing to clean up shadow bugs should be one of your lesser concerns if fire's what you're worried about."

...the shotgun did way more damage to structures anyway Flint. Geeze.

"Look, I know about all this stuff. I've been here a lot longer than you, ya know?" Flint said. "That's why I don't like the look of this. I don't need more stuff that can blow this place sky high."
golonghorns: (Gonna git you)

"It's a flamethrower. It ain't a bomb." Joel remarked. Not disclosing that he had at least six incendiary devices in his backpack. "Look, you've been here a long while. I've been here five months. I get it. But the last month has been the only time I've seen this place be anythin' but sunshine and rainbows. This shit...?" He gestured to the darkened skies and a puddle of shadow bugs. "This shit is just a different flavor of somethin' I've been through myself. Alright? I ain't runnin' around armed because I'm bored and looking to cause collateral damage."
