( 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?]

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?

[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?

[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?

[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.

[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?]

001

[psyker4649]

Oi.

[ Knock-knock. There's a scruffy looking kid at the door, one hand raised in a lazy greeting. ]

[ Besides the fact that he's just been good-naturedly shrugging and going along with the party planning, Akira can't say he isn't curious about the occupant of room #012. Most other teammembers, he's seen popping in and out of their quarters or chilling in the common areas, but he's not sure if he's seen this guy around. ]

Folks down the hall are organizing a shindig, they need more seating room. Ya got any spare furniture in your place?

[ To underscore his words, Akira shrugs his other arm, jostling the chair he has slung over a shoulder. (For the record: No, this is not a very comfortable way to carry a chair. It kind of hurts actually. But it looks cool!) ]

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou is quiet for a moment, eyebrows knitted. Why him? Weren't there enough other rooms?

It's another moment when he lets out a quiet sigh, and nods. No, he doesn't want to come off as unhelpful or miserable, even if that's how he's feeling. Without a word, he opens the door all the way. There are a couple of chairs, but really not much else in this room yet anyway. Just the provisions given to him so far, and his sword. He'll grab the chairs and rejoin Akira at the doorway.]

Here.

[psyker4649]

[ He steps back to give Raidou space -- it's not like Akira doesn't know they haven't been here long enough to make themselves at home (and if he thought about it, he'd hope they aren't here long enough to need to settle in. For contrast, Odio's summons had felt like it lasted forever, but it couldn't have been that long.) but he still takes note of Raidou's quarters. Is that an actual sword? ]

Hey, cool. Has anyone invited you to this thing yet? You should come. Name's Akira, by the way.

...I guess it's kinda weird to throw a party, given. You know. [ interdimensional kidnapping. ] ...but I guess if we aren't supposed to, we'll find out pretty quickly, right?

[the_fourteenth]

[He shakes his head at that question.] Ah. Kuzunoha. Raidou. [Expect Akira to get called by his last name if Raidou learns it. He's a pretty formal kid.

He follows Akira out into the halls, nodding in agreement, He certainly isn't in a party mood, but he knows he can't just hide in his room forever either.]

It's best we all get along, right? It is strange, but... we're all in this together, at least.

▶002

[blastedass]

[Whether he likes it or not. That's a mutual feeling right now. Bakugo would much rather be back in his room with no one bothering him, but somehow it ended up like this. Granted, the food here was better than the rations at orientation (and he avoided the monstrous novelties some dumbasses procured) and if he keeps in mind these people are going to be potentially doing missions with him later on, it's barely tolerable.

But at least he can murder people in card games and prove himself the undisputed champion. Or he would be if this goddamn train conductor would sit his fucking ass down and-]

Stop looming behind me, you damn shashou, and sit down!

[If he's helping someone else cheat by looking at his cards and then facially signaling another, he's gonna be six feet under!]

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou wasn't even sure at first it was him that Bakugo was referring to, but frowns in confusion when he does. He was just standing here!

Well, fine then. Wordlessly, Raidou comes over to the table, and takes the empty seat next to Bakugo. He'd been watching how this game was played and it seemed easy enough. He gives him a flat look.]

Deal me in, then.

[blastedass]

[Raidou's the only one standing around the game table like that. Who else would he be referring to?! It's where he's standing that's getting on his nerves! (Just go with it, Raidou.)

At least it gets the guy to finally break from his soldier stance and come to that able. Once he's settled and ready, the blonde cuts the deck and shuffles without looking at the cards. Expertly. Gives them a curve down and bridge shuffle before finally dealing out the 7-hand start. Raidou included.]

Figure out the rules or you need your hand held?

[Yeah, he gauged Raidou was learning back there.]

[the_fourteenth]

I'm fine. [Raidou takes and sorts his cards. This guy is taking this pretty seriously, and Raidou will do the same.

However, Raidou's emotions are practically unreadable. His poker face game, or Uno face in this case, is hard to beat. Whether he's winning or losing cards, his expression never changes.]

002

[kanzashi]

[Nobara happens to be at the table grabbing a plateful of snacks, just in time to hear the question.]

Seriously, you've never had Oreos? What backwater hamlet did you grow up in?

[Oreos are commonplace all around the world, right?]

[the_fourteenth]

[This has been happening so much already, and he's only been here a couple of days. Raidou looks slightly put out.]

I'm from the Capital of Japan. [It's the least backwater place there is!]

I've never heard of them. [He's going to take one and give it a cautious bite.

Oh. What is this.]

[kanzashi]

The capital of Japan...

You mean... Tokyo.....?

[Blink blink. What? Tokyo has Oreos!!]

001;

[1797]

[Ren gatecrashes room 012 easy as anything, his own expression flickering into a smile when he sees who opens the door.]

We're on snack duty.

[Not chairs this time! He jerks a thumb down towards the commons area.]

Going to a store seems like overkill; we can probably get away with the vending machines.

[the_fourteenth]

...Ah. [Oh no, it's this guy. Well, they live just two rooms apart, so it's not like Raidou was going to be able to avoid him forever. Besides, that whole mistletoe thing was just stupid, right? Right...

After a moment, he opens the door fully to join Ren.]

Alright. You think that will be enough, though?

[1797]

[The two of them have to live with this hanging over them just like the mistletoe for the rest of their tenure together. Which is why Ren is vying hard in the opposite direction, hands sliding into his pockets as he swings around towards their goal. It's fine. This is fine.]

There aren't that many of us.

[Right?

...On second thought, considering how much food the Phantom Thieves can go through when they were all hanging out together, maybe not.]

We can always figure it out later, if it's not.

003

[dissimilar]

[ The fort doorway peels back on a somber boy looking as though he's having a fine time hanging out in this fort by himself. He figured his time seeing what this pillow fort business was all about would be short, so when his gaze rises to meet the newcomer, he doesn't look much surprised.

He is also quite impressively compact in his seat here, given how monstrously tall he is. ]

Hello. I apologize for the intrusion, was this your spot?

[the_fourteenth]

[Meet another somber boy looking back at Shou, who, after a moment looking around the inside of the fort, decides to join him. It's fine, Raidou's fairly willowy.]

Yes and no. It's my room, but it's fine.

[He grabs a couple of pillows, one to lean on and one to hold.]

This is pretty nice, though. Did you build it?
