( OPEN ) we are here and going to make it everyone's problem

[cranekin]

WHO: Team Everlight and YOU
WHAT: Breaking the ice with a spontaneous slumber party
WHERE: Everlight wing
WHEN: Some time after arrival
WARNINGS: Destroying friendships with UNO or something. Will edit for real as things come up.

(The fun thing about being taken and thrown into a new place is no one really knows you so when Tsurumaru Kuninaga is missing from dinner, he's sure no one really notices. Eventually someone will learn that whenever he's missing for too long, he's probably up to something if he doesn't actually have something to do.

He returns some time towards the end of dinner, when most people have probably begun to settle a bit for the evening. He stumble-dashes back to the base with an armful of plastic shopping bags and oooh he is definitely up to something…)

& SET UP

In the Everlight wing, they need to do some ☆re-arranging☆. Some desks and chairs need to be borrowed from rooms to drag outside for the food. While they're at it, they might as well grab the blankets and pillows too. They might also have to figure out what appropriate music to play. So maybe someone knocks on your door to commandeer your furniture and time. Or maybe they figure out a way to play music so everyone can hear and you end up drawn out by music.

Maybe you get sent out to buy more snacks and drinks for everyone while you're standing around with nothing to do. Let's go, Everlights. It's time to drag people into early shenanigans.

& FOOD & GAMES

There is plenty of food to be found. Check out the mixed bottles of different flavored sodas and teas, assorted chocolates, and other sweets from the convenience stores. Eventually, a couple of pizzas and a few more substantial things might show up on the table. Some of them are traditional flavors characters will be used to seeing but others may… be more out there. There sure are a lot of more experimental foods combinations in the future, huh? Have you ever tried coffee-flavored water? Yogurt-flavored potato chips? Flaming hot lava chocolate? What about calamari Oreo pizza? Well, now is your chance.

There are also stacks of playing cards and maybe some other silly toys and games from whatever is the equivalent of a dollar/pound store in the future.The 100 Kryptos store? Which version of UNO do you know how to play? Do you know how to play Werewolf or Mafia? There are plenty of bottles to spin. Give someone a call and see if they answer or else you have to eat one of those cursed pizza slices. Of course, when enough people gather around, there are plenty of other ways to make your own fun.

& CHILL

For more introverted characters that might want a quieter place to hang out, some Everlight has probably left their room open. Pillows and blankets have been piled into the room to make it a quieter, more laidback place to hang out. When was the last time you made a pillow fort?

// WILDCARD/OOC

Hello, Tsuru gets bored easily and he wants everyone to have ☆good vibes☆ because bad vibes make him sad so he is steamrolling and dragging people into slumber party shenanigans. It's in the Everlight wing but other characters can hop over if they're curious or dragged in. I asked the mods about the potential consequences of staying the night and they said it would be fine for the slumber party so go wild.

Treat this as an open mingle and feel free to come up with your own ideas and tag around. If anyone really needs me for anything, you can DM me or catch me on plurk (yosakoi ).

▶001 SET UP
[Maybe you're the person who's knocked on Raidou's dorm door at #012, unsure if is even occupied. There has barely been a peep heard from this room since the boy arrived, and when the door is opened, it's without a word. Just a pair of sharp grey eyes peering at you from under a hat brim, through the crack in the door. His expression is hard to read. But, well, the party needs some chairs, and everyone needs to contribute. There will be no hermits tonight.]

▶002 FOOD & GAMES
[Okay, fine. Raidou is in this place whether he likes it or not, and it's probably best if he at least meets the rest of his team for now. However, this place is so overwhelming to someone like him, hailing from the year 1922. He stands at the snack table completely befuddled.]

... What's an Or-E-o?

[At this time, though, his presence is enough, and he doesn't really have enough spirit to play a game right now, but he will watch others. He can get an idea of how Werewolf or Uno works in the first place anyway.

Who left these empty bottles here, though? Clearly this is some trash and not anything to do with a game, right? Perhaps you want to stop him before he chucks them in the trash.]

▶003 PILLOW FORT
[Lucky Raidou, his room was chosen for a pillow fort. It's fine, it's not like he has a lot of possession to worry about other than a pretty cool katana, which he is relieved to find untouched.

He looks around at the whole thing, and considers maybe just slipping past the construction to get to his bed, but curiosity gets the better of him. He walks over and lifts up the makeshift sheet-door to see if anyone is inside. Got room for one more?]

[cranekin]

❀ OFFERING DRINKS

(He's running around, flittering about like a hummingbird making sure everyone has drinks and sweets. He shoves candies and bottles of tea at everyone and when he approaches you, he offers a bottle of neon green melon soda, )

Have you had this? It's a type of bubbly drink. They come in all sorts of flavors.

(But you know how he was running around earlier? He might have shaken some of those drinks on accident so be careful opening them or else they might

you know

explode.

And he may or may not have meant for that to happen but who is going to believe him???)

❀ SURPRISING OTHERS

(You try to escape and manage to find a quiet place to retreat and catch your breath. The room is quiet and empty and there are piles of blankets and pillows all over the floor. Maybe you try to grab one of the blankets or maybe you're looking inside one of the pillow forts when suddenly Tsurumaru jumps out from under or behind,)

Wah!

(Ha ha.)

Are you surprised?

❀ WINDING DOWN

So these are the ways people have fun…

(It's later in the night and everything is beginning to wind down. All that's left is the food no one really wanted and some people have decided to return to their rooms for the night. With things quieting down, Tsurumaru seems to be reflecting on something?)

❀ WILDCARD

open to original prompts and down to set up custom starters. catch me on plurk yosakoi, PM, or message me for my discord.

『 001 - SET UP 』

[ A party? And a chance to mingle with fellow teammates, at that?

Well, she's just upset she didn't think of it first, really.

Maybe you're the one knocking on her door to let her know to join the fun. In which case, she'll be answering the door looking a little confused in her LILITH-provided lounge wear, an oversized white t-shirt and bright, Everlight-yellow joggers.

Or maybe you're the one she's now excitedly knocking on the door of, calling out as she does: ]

Hiiii-! Anyone home?

『 002 - IT'S A SLEEPOVER, AFTER ALL ♥ 』

[ The food and the party games were important, of course -- but there's one thing missing from this event that will make it perfect, and that's ... 
Doing each other's hair and nails, of course! 

At some point early on in the set up, Ino disappeared to the conbini to purchase a small selection of reasonably priced nail polish, nail polish remover, and cotton balls. Top that off with some brushes, combs, hair ties/barrettes and bobby pins to round the whole thing out, and you've got a beauty station (of sorts). 

While she's left most of what she's purchased on a table where anyone can access it, she's definitely using some of it herself. Maybe you decided to take on the Herculean task of braiding her hair (it goes down to her knees, fair warning!)? Or maybe she's painting your nails or brushing out your hair, instead. ]

This is going to look so cute when it's done!  

『 003 - WILDCARD 』

[ Anything else you can think of! Ino will definitely be flitting around and hitting up anyone she hasn't met yet if they're just standing around, and making sure to introduce herself to anyone who looks interesting or like they need/want someone to talk to. She'll generally be keeping the door to her own apartment shut during the party, but if someone asks to take a peek, or the girlies need privacy to gossip, she might open it on up!

If you have an idea for a different prompt, feel free to go for it or send me a PM! ]

002

[ino]

[ While some of these snacks are familiar enough to her (though the brand names are different enough that it feels a little strange), the Oreo is also a mystery to her as well. ]

Looks like some kind of chocolate cake, maybe?

[ She'll opt to pick up the package, peeling it open to examine what's inside before offering Raidou one of the two cookies inside. ]

Oh, it's a little more like a chocolate cracker, actually. Wanna try?

01

[ino]

[ She's probably helping to set up some of these items nicely on a table she's moved out from her apartment when he offers her this neon green monstrosity, and she lifts an eyebrow as she inspects the bottle. The color is really throwing her off. ]

I mean, I've had soda before, but ... why does this one look like it'll kill me if I drink it?

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou shrugs, and nods, taking a cookie from the package. After a quick-look over, he takes a bite.

For a moment he just stands there, nose wrinkled. He chews once, carefully. While Raidou does have a bit of a sweet tooth, this is one strange flavor. He doesn't know how he feels about it and definitely looks unsure about it.

His eyes shift to Ino. What does she think?]

[ino]

[ She's admittedly been waiting to see his reaction to it before she tries it herself, and she can't help but let out a little giggle when she sees him wrinkle his nose at it. ]

That bad, huh?

[ Still she's curious to try it for herself, so she'll take a small bite of the remaining cookie. She's pretty fond of sweets herself, and is likely used to a higher amount of sugar in her sweets than Raidou is, but ... it's still a bit of an odd flavor. ]

Hmm ... yeah, I can see why you weren't a fan. It doesn't even taste like good chocolate ...

[the_fourteenth]

[Reluctantly, he chews it, but he's definitely not a fan. Once he's finally done he says something.]

... That was chocolate?

[Time to grab a bottle of water for help with this. Now he doesn't trust all these sweet drinks sitting around the party.]

003

[cranekin]

(It's an impressive little pillow fort. He's probably shuffled the desk and stolen an extra chair from someone's room to make it possible but the most important thing is that he made sure it was so perfectly sealed, no one could see inside it from the outside.

When Raidou opens the flap, a flash of white shoots out to greet him,)

Surprise!

(It's Tsurumaru with a sheet wrapped like a cape over his head and shoulders,)

Did I get you?

[cranekin]

(But look at it, Ino. The label say it's melon which explains the color. Except have you ever seen a melon so bright and green before? Definitely not.)

Soda, huh...

(そうだね。。。 Sou da ne... It's funny, I promise.)

Don't worry, don't worry! It's just melon.

[ino]

Pretty sure it was supposed to be ...

[ She flips the package over to look at the ingredients, before pointing to the words "cocoa" and "chocolate" in there, though they are far from the first, second or even third ingredient. ]

Aha, see? There's chocolate in there somewhere. Barely.

[ She carefully drops that wrapper in the trash can, while Raidou grabs his water. ]

I think I'll stick to the pudding cups, personally.

[ino]

[ Brb, getting the canned panda themed bread to keep the ダジャレ rolling ]

I've never seen any melon that looks like that.

[ Not that she's seen a whole lot of melon to begin with. ]

Some of this stuff says it's a certain flavor, but it doesn't really taste like it at all. It just tastes like sugar.

[the_fourteenth]

[Sorry, Tsurumaru, but this kid is one of the most unflappable people you're ever going to meet. For a moment, he just blinks at him.]

Get me wh-- oh. No.

[He looks around the inside of the fort, past Tsurumaru. After a moment, he decides to come in and sit down. it's his room, after all.]

Did you make this?

1/2

[cranekin]

(Please, show him the good panda pan.)

Maybe it's a new melon. (He noticed all sorts of strange things while he was out. Some wild genetically modified fruits and hybridized flowers he's never seen before.) Have you been outside? There are all sorts of surprises out there.

(And as he's casually talking, he undoes the cap and--)

[cranekin]

(There goes soda spray everywhere. He jumps back and just leaves the bottle on the table. He's scared.)

[cranekin]

... Boo.

(Lame. There was no reaction at all and he doesn't even try to hide his disappointment. He shuffles over some to give his new companion some space. )

Hmm... Most of it was done when I came. I just made it nicer.

1/2

[ino]

Eeeek--!!

[ It startles her too, and she also jumps back and lifts her arm in front of her to shield from any incoming spray. ]

[ino]

[ ... and then relaxes once it just kind of ends up fizzling all over the table. Ugh. Now her arm is all sticky and wet ... ]

... You didn't happen to drop that or shake it around, did you?

[the_fourteenth]

I don't know if I believe that. So much of the food here is so strange.

[Some of the meals weren't bad, but all this pre-packaged stuff? Raidou figures he's going to have to get used to it. Most of it was pretty foreign to him in general.]

Do they have any of this where you're from? [Indicating the whole array of party foods.]

[cranekin]

A drink of surprises...

(He's managed to get away mostly unscathed. He's a good distance away now and is approaching it cautiously like it might go off again.)

Huh? Are you not supposed to?

(He's a Heian... he doesn't do sodas usually.)

[the_fourteenth]

It's pretty good. [Raidou grabs a pillow to hold on to, just because.]

It's in my room, though. I guess I'm staying here tonight. Was your plan to just trying to scare people with it?

[It's neat fort and all, but... why?]

[cranekin]

Surprise, not scare.

(And he reaches out to boop him on the nose because that helps make his point.)

[the_fourteenth]

[Now that surprises him. Nose boops are not a thing he gets. Well, except from Gouto-douji sometimes.]

I don't think a lot of people would see a difference.

wildcard.

[frostfist]

[ Sometimes you're a Revelation guy crashing the Everlight slumber party because your own wing is so goddamn quiet. Seriously, what's it take for a guy to wrangle a good conversation out of someone around here? Move to a completely different wing, apparently.

(But if anyone asks, he does technically have an invitation. Thanks Yuji, you're such a bro.)

He's at the buffet table now, squinting down at the calamari Oreo pizza. It's not that he hasn't eaten his fair share of questionable dishes in the past - the Fortress cafeteria was truly a sad state of affairs before he took over as administrator - but now that he has freedom of choice and isn't relegated to eating whatever slop gets dumped onto the tray in his hands, there's really no reason for him to eat dishes that don't appeal to his palate.

Other than morbid curiosity. ]

They do say salty and sweet make for the ideal combination, but I'm not sure that should extend to this...creation here. [ Monstrosity is more like it. ] Have you tried it yet?

[ino]

Some of it, but it doesn't usually look like this.

[ She points to the small corner of more "traditional" Japanese conbini fare, like onigiri, dango, bottled tea. It's still pre-packaged, of course, but it's not made completely of salt or sugar. ]

That's more what I usually buy at the store when I don't feel like cooking. Though I do know a guy who pretty much only eats instant ramen and nothing else.
