( 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 ).

[blindspotting]

I do not.

[ It's an easy enough admission, and he smiles at her faintly along with it. How anyone managed to talk him into the game in that case is a mystery, but nevertheless. ]

I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me which numbers?

[ Might not help much, but it'd be a start. ]

[kanzashi]

[Nobara glances down at the cards, and then back at the guy's face. He doesn't even have his eyes open. Wait, is he....?]

You can't see them at all?

[What kind of scumbag ropes a bling guy into a game of poker?? Of it's ON now, she is going to make it her mission to take them DOWN.]

Just follow my lead. Play this one.

[She taps one of the cards- a three.]

[blindspotting]

[ He gives a thoughtful sort of hum but doesn't hesitate to put the card she'd gestured to down when called on. It's a low stakes sort of trust, maybe, but they have to start somewhere. They are going to be fighting together eventually, after all.

Since that seems to be the completion of his turn for the moment, Shion nods back in her direction. ]

Thank you. I hope I'm not interrupting your turn.

[ It's going to be a short game if she's playing for both of them, but it's not like he'd do any better on his own. He does sound remarkably unconcerned about the whole thing, though. It's the experience, whether he loses miserably or not. ]

[kanzashi]

It's fine, since you don't know how to play I'll help you out this once.

[if it ends up being only the two of them left it will make for an awkward game, but for now Nobara's only concern is kicking the ass of whatever moron here thought this would make for a fair game. The rounds proceeds, each player taking or swapping cards until it's Nobara's turn and she makes her own move until it's back to Shion again.]

We're playing this specific version where you get to swap a total of two cards if you want to. You don't have to, but I would if I were you.

[She taps one of his cards- a two- Because he already has a King and maybe another swap can give him something better..]

[blindspotting]

And I appreciate it.

[ Well, her advise hasn't lead him astray so far. Or at least not that he'd know it. He puts down the card she'd gestured to and unerringly finds the pile to draw a new card instead.

It does beg the question of what will happen when she's dubbed him suitably knowledgeable, but they'll cross that bridge when they come to it. Perhaps he'll have figured out how to tell the cards apart by then. ]

This is a common game, then? Since there are variations.

[kanzashi]

It's common, but it usually isn't played like this. Normally, you don't get to swap any of them out, but I guess these guys are playing it like this.

Can you really not see them at all? I can tell you the rules, but it's going to be hard to play if you can't read the numbers....

[Suddenly, some guy at the table is complaining about their chattering, and accusing them of cheating—]

Oi, shut the hell up! This was your idea, right? Gotta feel good about yourself by beating a guy who doesn't know how to play?! Huhh?!Just give up already!

[blindspotting]

[ One of Shion's eyebrows lifts slightly at her sudden outburst, but the expression is more amusement than anything. Such a fierce defender he's apparently stumbled into. ]

I really cannot see them at all. [ The agreement comes once it seems like she's finished, Shion still smiling faintly. Them or anything else, but that much can go unspoken. ] I had hoped that I might be able to feel a difference, but it seems not.

[ The oddly slippery cards don't seem to have much to distinguish them, not matter how hard he concentrates. Ah well. He does pause for a moment, considering. The point here is to get comfortable in each other's company, and he'd thought that playing along might be a good start, but possibly not? If tempers are already high. ]

I'm happy to give up to you, if you'd prefer.
