( 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 ).

Ah...

[ He had suspected something like that, but Shion has never had any interest in gambling and hadn't come across them himself very often. Still, everyone seems eager to get into it, and who is he to argue?

He turns towards Ino to offer a small smile. ]

If you don't mind. I'm liable to be quite bad at this. [ Better she's warned upfront? ]

[ino]

Hey, I just learned the rules too, so who knows how we'll do.

[ While this is not a lie, she is ... a little competitive. It might be hard to resist not getting too involved. Oh well!

She'll forfeit her own hand to whoever's dealing, before scooting closer to take a better look at what he's got. ]

Okay, so ... let's see. [ She'll lean in closer to his ear, and cup a hand over her mouth, so no one can read her lips as she whispers to him. ] From right to left, you have a blue 5, a red skip, a yellow 5, a green 7, and a yellow reverse. You have to match either the color or the number of whatever got played last when you set down a card, so if they don't say it out loud, I'll tell you what they put down, okay?

[blindspotting]

[ Well, at least they're in it together, then. His eyebrows draw together slightly as she explains his hand to him, fingers tracing over the fronts like he might be able to feel the slightest imprint of the image.

But! She is clearly going above and beyond, so he ducks his head slightly once she's finished. ]

Thank you. [ Not quite a bow, but it's close. ] I'll split any winnings with you, shall I?

[ No, they're not playing for anything, but it's the thought that counts. Probably. ]

[ino]

[ She laughs. ]

Sounds fair.

[ Who knows, maybe they could bet pieces of candy or something instead of kryptos. ]

I take it you're also in Everlight?

[blindspotting]

I am, yes.

[ And not quite sure what to make of it yet, but isn't that the case with everything here. At least he can appreciate the group attempting to get to know one another. If they're going to be fighting together, it will help.

Also no one's attempted to kill anyone else yet, so it's already going better than the last time he found himself in a situation like this. ]

My name is Shion.

[ino]

Wow ... what a lovely name.

[ She sounds impressed! ]

I'm Ino; nice to meet you!

[ In contrast, her name just means "boar". Womp womp. ]

[blindspotting]

And you.

[ How lucky to run into such friendly people right away. It's never a given that you'll get along with people you've been forced into close quarters with, but Shion is certainly not going to complain when it happens.

But then it seems like the game is beginning proper, and Shion's eyebrows draw together as he tries to follow along. Some of their competitors seem to be announcing their cards, others don't, so presumably it isn't a hard and fast rule. Ah well.

And then the person next to him places a card, and he turns his head a bit in Ino's direction. ]

What shall my fate be?

[ino]

[ She She keeps her voice low so only he can hear, looking from the collective pile to his hand again. ]

It's red, so I think you've only got one choice at the moment. Shame, it seems like it'd be better to save for when someone's getting lower on cards ...

[blindspotting]

[ He'll take her word for it, but he places the card down anyway for the sake of the flow of the game. Once it seems to have moved on to the rest of the players, he tips his head back in Ino's direction. ]

If this is new to you as well, should I take if that you come from a different sort of world?

[ It's interesting to find what does and doesn't overlap between their fellow arrivals, but Shion does frequently find himself a good deal more at sea than many others seem to. It would be nice to find someone equally as confused, if perhaps a little unfortunate for Ino's sake. ]
