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.

Jon's hands met behind his back, but his feet were entirely fluid. He dodged her kick using a series of pivots on the balls of his feet. Her kick didn't connect, but swung close enough to tap the loose fabric of his pants.

"Much better. Let's try sets of ten. Switch feet between kicks and try to follow me. Go!"

Hilda said "Whoa" when she felt her kick just miss his leg. Jon's experience was still showing and it was very impressive to her. Just keep at it, Hilda, someday you will be half as cool.

She made sure she wasn't too far away when she started, and she tried to keep up with all the advice he was giving her while she counted the sets in her head. FYI, this was way harder than it looked in the movies.

"....and that was ten." Jon said. He stopped moving and watched to see how tired she was.

"Don't worry that you're unable to hit me - I've been doing this for years. I can also teach you those steps later, if you'd like. They allow you to dodge attacks with a minimum of effort and with a lot more precision than simply jumping out of the way."

"That'd be a radical trick to learn sometime," She replied with a winded huff. She wasn't doubled over wheezing yet, but all this was one heck of a workout.

"How long'd it take you to get so good at this stuff?" Hilda asked, "I've just been wondering. Like, were you always doin' martial arts or did you pick it up later?"
jonny_talbain: (Human - Huh?)

"I started in my early teens." Jon replied. "I was taught by a Kung Fu Master who wanted to help me focus my energy. He believed it would help me deal with my curse. And he was right."

Oh. Oh, actually...

"Ah. Lycanthropy is my curse. I'm a Werewolf. I forget if you were aware of that."

"Oh," Hilda began, like she hadn't exactly paid attention to what Jon just said. Yeah, all right, early teens and late teens weren't too far apart! So maybe she could... Wait, hold on, what was that about werewolves?

"Seriously? Like, the kind that turn into wolves in the movies? Or, uh, something different..." She trailed off and paused. "Cool or not, I guess it's a kinda rough deal. Uh, a curse, and all."

"Aye. I change into a wolf at the full moon. I can also change any time I like, really, but during the full moon I've no choice in the matter."

He shrugged and stretched his shoulders a little.

"It was Kung Fu that taught me to control that transformation. Keep my temper under wraps and it helped me find some measure of inner peace. Gave me something to fight the enemy within, if that makes any sense. It's less a hobby for me than it is something I owe my quality of life to. Without it, like as not, I'd probably be dead or worse."
