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

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 ).

1: snack table

[ The amount of thought Akira put into picking up novelty snacks for this party was exactly: none. none thoughts. That's why there's a tapioca boba pizza sitting on the table, like an affront to god and the devil, with a teenager sitting crosslegged and contemplating it like it's a complicated maths problem. ]

[ There's a maple syrup dipping sauce that's meant to go with it.*
* (Akira is faintly aware, from the info that had been dumped on them re: the general state Earth is in, this is probably sugar-substitute with brown food colouring. Whether that makes it better or worse is an exercise for the discerning reader.) ]

.......... Dare you to try a bite. I'll do it if you do.

2: chill ~~(lurking in the alleyway like a cool guy except it's a pillowfort so no, not cool at all)~~

[ He's not in the pillowfort, but stretched full-length between the back of the fort and the actual room wall. Seems he didn't want to get up and someone just kinda... built the fort against him. The effect is rather like a cat that has squimshed itself behind the couch. This should not be comfortable. ]

[ (Has he strategically done this so that he's hidden for when it's time to clean up? Maybe. Yes.) ]

[ At this late hour, Akira's only half paying attention to the movements of other people, or the buzz of thoughts coming from them. Instead he's idly flicking stray bits of popcorn or candy high into the air, heedless of where they go. He squints up if someone comes into his field of view, whether they're annoyed at him for flicking popcorn at them, or trying to tidy up and he's in the way, or just saying hello: ] What?

[ Alternately, if there's someone in the fort trying to get his attention, he responds with an even more petulant: ] What?

[He's been to parties before. He's seen the food that can be unleashed upon a bunch of teenagers. And he's walked away from it just as easily. That or made sure there was something edible that wasn't going to put someone into cardiac arrest. At least there are normal options for the sane among their team...

Meaning the sudden interruption from down below as he passes by the table sees Bakugo with a plate of NORMAL pizza in one hand, a celery stick just snapped off in his mouth, and a bottle of flavored water in the other. He doesn't want a damn sugar rush right before bed. Pizza's pushing it, but that's more for a desperate need of familiar right now.

A single glance at the tadpole-infested pizza (you're welcome) makes the response easy.]

Eat it and die.

[Whether that's a threat or a warning is up to this stranger.]

[ Wow, it's not tadpoles! They probably wouldn't sell tadpole pizza. For all they know frogs are extinct in this screwed-up future. Then they'd be eating the last of a dying species and that would be tragic. ]

[ Anyway, Akira rolls his eyes: ] It's bubble tea pearls, not radioactive.

[ Though he's derailed when he sees what the other guy's got. ]

Wait, who eats rabbit food at a sleepover?

[It looks disgusting either way. There's a difference between the common dark circles of black olives on a pizza, and these shiny slimy-looking boba balls that should not be glistening under a skin of melted cheese.]

Gross.

[That shit goes in tea, not in a savory pizza. (Then again, neither do gummy bears and oreos, but guess what abomination's in one of those other pizza boxes.) Bakugo's expression twists in a glare.]

Pizza's not a fucking vegetable substitute.

Your face is gross.

[ Very mature. ]

[ He pushes the pizza box aside, kicking back with a vending-machine milk tea (after the Deeply Unfortunate Melon Soda Incident, That Definitely Could Not Have Been Averted, he's avoiding all carbonated drinks tonight, ty). ]

What are you, a health nut? Your bones aren't gonna explode if they come into contact with sugar, ya know.

Haa?! What are you, 12?

[Great, they have a little shit on board.

At least the abomination of a pizza is rejected. It's not like Bakugo was going to watch this guy eyes that thing. (There's a reason he doesn't accept drinks from anyone and procures his food and beverage himself.) Watch your own back.]

I'm not eating fucking cookies on a pizza! That's disgusting! [Considering he HAS some pizza with him, and a flavored drink, it's obvious he's not scared of some damn sugar, brat! But he's not gorging on it either.] =

Dunno, what are you, forty-two?

[ (oh lord chronologically i'm not sure when this happens vis a vis the uno game, but i will assume this happens first given how that's likely going to go,,,) ]

C'mon, loosen up. If you've got that big a problem with it, take it up with whoever organized this little meet-n-greet, maybe next time they'll get in more, uh, [ finger-quotes ] "real food".

Urusei! You're the one daring people to eat shit!

[Oh this totally happens beforehand. No contest there. They're going to get along so well.

Bakugo bristles again at being told to loosen up, though he rolls his eyes with the suggested fix.]

I already took care of that. [Why do you think he has "rabbit food" in the first place?] I don't even want to know where people got this kind of crap.

[In indication of the pizza that had been on the proverbial chopping block at the start of this.]

[So maybe it would be easy to assume Ren wouldn't touch the pizza after being less than enthused about the cafeteria's offerings, but he's staring at it with equal intensity.

And also, he's a sucker. Kid does not know how to back down from a challenge.]

Alright. Pass me the sauce.

[He holds out a hand to Akira. He is really doing this.]

[ It makes a kind of sense. The cafeteria food looked like, and fundamentally probably was, heated-up MREs made in a factory. In contrast, someone definitely made this pizza with their own human hands. For good or for ill. ]

[ Akira drizzles the alleged-syrup on his slice, before grimly sliding the little plastic canister over to Ren. ]

On the count of one -- three, two...

[ Bottoms up? ]

[Ren attends to the syrup on his pizza like a man preparing for battle, as if the ratio of maple to tapioca somehow matters (or like he even knows what that ratio should be). This is the price of being down to clown.

Anyway, he takes a sizable chomp out of his pizza. Maybe he should have been more conservative in that bite, but it's too late for regrets.]

...It's actually not that bad.

[Bro???]

It's more the texture than anything else.
