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 (

[ he's not about to run into a stray chair, but carrying a pile of pillows to create his own pillow fort (that he hopes he can nap in) can impair one's vision. at the very least, his reflexes keep him from tripping over or dropping any of the pillows onto the sheet now draped over the chair, sidestepping its architect at the same time. ]

Ah, my apologies. It seems my idea has not at all been original.

[ looking over his pillows, he smiles upon recognizing the face. ]

Hello there.

[ The voice is familiar, and now that he's focusing a bit more, Shion can make out the rest of the man's shape as well. He offers over a smile in return, though he waits until he has his drapery settled neatly to turn properly towards him. ]

Good evening. And please, help yourself. I'm sure there can't be too much of...whatever this is.

[ Did someone just hand him some sheets and tell him to go work? Possibly. ]

Though I'm sure we can work something out together, if you like.

[ ... ah.

jing yuan blinks when folded sheets are deposited into his arms with an unspoken assumption that he's there to help with the other man's forth as if he's not at all already carrying pillows to make his own fort. there's a moment where he almost declines but decides against it, sighing with a smile.

he sets his pillows to one side. ]

It's impressive to find so many pillows and sheets if I were to be asked.

[ he doubts even his house back in the xianzhou has this many pillows and sheets. ] Where shall I offer my assistance?

[ There's the briefest pause at Jing Yuan's question before Shion continues his movement to turn back and face the rest of the room. He'd been hoping the other man would know what they're actually meant to be doing here. Alas.

Well, Shion can adapt. ]

Over towards the corner there, maybe? [ He gestures towards the side, not far from where he'd been setting up his own little tent. ] It seems the most defensible.

[ Does it need to be defensible? Someone had mentioned a fort, so why not. ]

[ tbf there are no pillow forts in space china ...

but jing yuan's a quick study and he's seen the others build their own; it's mostly the reason why he's also decided to make his pillow fort. as it stands, he needs to assist shion first with his endeavor, something that he doesn't entirely mind.

he moves towards the corners gestured at, studying the pillows are stacked as he sets the pile in his arms down. his gaze tries to trace where the sheets are tied, eyebrows furrowing. he soon gets to start working, piling more pillows in a very distinct, almost architectural fashion. ]

Is there going to be a battle between forts?

[ how is he not aware of this?? ]

Is that not the purpose of a fort?

[ What else are they for? He can't exactly tell how that would work, but presumably someone would know. He studies Jing Yuan's creation for a moment before gently stepping around to shore up one of the sides that seems in danger of slipping. ]

I confess I don't entirely see the point of this.

[ Or...most of it, really. But who is he to judge how people want to relax? ]
