( 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 ).

Right?!

(Stop, he can relate to that.)

I had to use another sword and it was all wrong!

(Something something the simulation let him choose a default weapon or something IDK. He holds out one arm as if he's trying to demonstrate something,)

A sword is like an extension of the arm. Changing your sword is like changing your arm.

(At least, that's what it feels like to him.)

[the_fourteenth]

[That gets a little bit of a smile out of him, and a nod.]

It's true. That one is irreplaceable. A family heirloom. I hope I can continue being worthy of wielding it here.

[That might sound strange to others, but after what Tsurumaru just said, Raidou has a feeling he'll get it.]

[cranekin]

(He does and he can't help but think how lucky this sword is. Not every sword gets to stay with one family. He knows.)

I believe you are.

(Just by the way he talks about it.)

You're both lucky to have each other.

[the_fourteenth]

[Was this sword lucky to have him? He wasn't so sure anymore, but he knows he was lucky to have it. He nods lightly.]

The kaiju we fought in the simulation weren't like demons. I'm not sure how effective it would be against them, but it's still better than nothing. Which is what I had before.

Then again, it was a simulation. The real thing could be different.

[cranekin]

As long as something can be cut, a sword will cut.

(So don't worry, Raidou.)

The acid was a problem. It wore down the steel and ate at the blade... but if my sword could last, I'm sure a magic sword like yours will withstand enough.

[the_fourteenth]

At least this time, that damage wasn't for real.

[No matter how real that felt, no matter how much Raidou exhausted himself in it anyway.

Tsurumaru gets a curious look with his last remark.]

So you could tell.

[cranekin]

You could say I have a certain affinity.

(As a kami. As a sword.)

[the_fourteenth]

[Not really a surprise that someone else here deals in magic. Still, it's strange talking about this stuff with anyone else. Back home, there is really only one person outside of the Kuzunoha clan that knows anything about Raidou's real work.]

It's a purification blade. Demon exorcism. I guess I'll find out soon enough if these kaiju are anything like demons.

[cranekin]

(A purification blade... Really, the more Raidou speaks the more Tsurumaru wonders if maybe (just maybe) Raidou may be of use to him in the future.)

Even if they're different, you shouldn't let it deter you. After all... you've been brought here for a purpose.

(And maybe it's his own nature as a spirit that can be summoned and called upon... but when someone gives him a mission, he fulfills it.)

[the_fourteenth]

[He looks away at that. Even if he had been brought here from just a day earlier, he'd be much more confident. Not so much anymore.]

Yes. It's not much different than my purpose back home. I won't let the people here down.

[cranekin]

(Ah, it seems he might have stepped into something that is best left alone. Without much warning, he jumps up onto his feet again, hands on his hips, and looks down at Raidou,)

Then that makes the two of us. I look forward to working with you.

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou wasn't expecting that move, and blinks.]

Oh. Ah, yes. Likewise. Enjoy the rest of the party.

[Hea assuming that's what he's off to do.]
