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.

"Where'd you...?"

No. You know what? It didn't matter right now.

"You smack it off the wall and I'll shoot it once we get it outside?"

TEAMWORK.

The world must never know. Teamwork, however, was something Mario knew well! ...Sometimes.

"Okey-dokey," He said with what may have been a disturbing amount of enthusiasm (because it was 'any'). Mario jumped up to make eye contact with the clock's doppelganger and used his hammer to knock it off the wall. With another whack or two he started trying to chase it into the nearest exit.

Guy was good with an oversized hammer, Joel had to admit.

The clock started to roll down the hall, trying to get away from the little Plumberman.

"Mario, dodge to your left!" Joel called, starting to aim up a shot.
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-09-13 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Mario glanced over his shoulder and oh, yeah, Joel was totally pointing a gun in his direction. Did... He have a mushroom. No. Maybe it was time to listen and get out of the way, then.

"You got it!" Mario said as he dove to the left.
golonghorns: (Looking over the other way)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-09-14 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Joel's revolver wasn't his most powerful weapon, but it was his favorite. He tended to take it with him everywhere. It had enough bite and kick to it that most Humans and small enemies could be taken out with a few well placed shots.

The clock was a tricky target, but Joel had plenty of practice under his belt.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

The clock splintered into purple pieces. Some of which started to writhe around in a grape hued imitation of Salvador Dali's fondest nightmares.

"Want to finish it off with your hammer?"
provolone_ranger: (mario you piece of shit)

NOOOOOOOO gmail hid this one from me...

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-09-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Good aim! He almost clapped but he thought better of it, and approached the clock in its death throes instead.

"You bet," Mario cheered and brought his hammer down on the shadow clock with a nice, solid THWACK. "Hey, nice-a shooting."
golonghorns: (Smile)

CURSE YOU, G MAIL!

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-09-21 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Thanks." Joel said, pocketing the revolver and watching Mario smoosh the remains of the clock into grape jelly. "In my world, you learn to shoot real quick."

Man. Look at that gunk!

"You're pretty good with that hammer, too."
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-09-26 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Gross... Mario made a motion to brush some of the goop off of his hammer, but nah, even with gloves on he wasn't gonna touch that stuff.

"Oh, yeah? Where you from, if you don't mind me asking?"
golonghorns: (Default)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-09-27 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Texas, originally." Joel replied. "About twenty years ago, my world got overrun with a fungal infection that turns folks into flesh eating monsters."

He was getting more and more used to just kind of putting that out there.

He fiddled with the handle of the gun and shrugged.

"It's been a long while since I was a carpenter, tell you the truth."
provolone_ranger: (destroy :))

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-09-28 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Is that so...?" Yikes, he wasn't expecting Joel to drop something like that on him so casually. Maybe he'd just keep the Mushroom Kingdom to himself for a little while... "Well, it looks like you're still doin' a good job to me. Uh, all things a-considered."
golonghorns: (Default)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-09-29 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Thanks." Joel replied.

"What about you? The accent sounds Italian."
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Mario opened his mouth, then he closed it. Well, rats. Did he really have a reason to lie to this guy, though? Besides maybe him thinking Mario was a flesh-eating monster?

"The Mushroom Kingdom," Mario said like he wasn't joking.
golonghorns: (Yeah ok I'm listening)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-03 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"That's... never heard of Italy being called the Mushroom Kingdom." Joel replied. "I mean, I like mushroom on my pizza as much as the next guy. But I figured there were other things the place was better known for."

Once he realizes the context of Mario's answer, he's going to feel incredibly dumb.
provolone_ranger: (mario you piece of shit)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-05 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh," Mario started and scratched his head. "It ain't Italy."
golonghorns: (Grimdark)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-05 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"....alright. So, where is it?"
provolone_ranger: (i friggin hate picross)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-05 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I dunno how all these places from all over match up," He admitted, "It don't surprise me that you haven't heard of it."

How do you... "I guess it's, ah... Part of a different world? I don't even think many of the folks living there have even heard of Italy."
golonghorns: (Yeah ok I'm listening)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-06 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? No kiddin'?" Joel replied, looking a little sheepish. "I mean... You're a Human Being and all. I guess I just figured you must be from Earth. If not mine, then somethin' like it."

He knew so many Japanese people, now. He also had not spoken really in-depth with any Humans from crazy fantasy worlds.
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-06 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's-a pretty much like Earth, I think, just a little different. Lotta... Uh... I guess you'd call 'em talking animals?"

Mario scratched his head as he tried to think of how to explain things without sounding like a crazy person.
golonghorns: (About to tell some bullshit)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-07 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"So, like the little Hedgehog lady who teaches Home Ec?" Joel asked. He hadn't ever spoken to Sable, but he'd seen her around. It had been a little unnerving, at first. "Or these Poh-kay-mon?"
provolone_ranger: (;))

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-07 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Sorta, yeah," Mario replied. "Lizards, dinosaurs, uh... Toads... Mice... A lot of different kinds." He'd leave out the bean people, there's only so much a guy can handle at once.

He paused to think about something. "Y'know, I think there's less human folks than not."
golonghorns: (About to tell some bullshit)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-07 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"That would feel real weird to me. Bein' a minority species." Joel replied. Even the Infected were still technically Human when you got down to it.

"Still, must be pretty interesting, though. I mean, I find the people who ain't Humans here pretty interesting."
provolone_ranger: (destroy :))

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-08 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
"It stops being weird after a while," Mario shrugged. Or it stopped being weird when a dinosaur delivered you to your parents, either/or. "Kinda like the, uh... Pokemon here."
golonghorns: (About to tell some bullshit)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-08 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"So, you were born there? Or you... uh. Immigrate from someplace else?"

Look, interuniversal multitravel was a new concept to the Brawny Man here.
provolone_ranger: (well excuse me princess)

[personal profile] provolone_ranger 2014-10-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I, uh, I guess I was born there. I don't really remember."

He wasn't lying! Mario did remember the stork, but say that in front of anyone who wasn't living in the Mushroom Kingdom and you get laughed at.
golonghorns: (About to tell some bullshit)

[personal profile] golonghorns 2014-10-11 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Weird! But fair enough, Joel supposed. He didn't remember his first couple of years either.

"I see. Sounds like an.... interestin' place to live. Can you come and go? Or are you stuck here?"
