( 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 ).

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Bakugo doesn't know how to cut slack. That or he refuses to. (This is true. Then he still looks a nerd with glasses and tousled hair.) Pjs don't exactly help either, but whatever.

He looks back towards his costume. There's no way out of this without slamming the door in his face is there. Tch. Has to remind himself he's supposed to work with these damn extras. Not that he's going to admit he needs them.]

It's more than elaborate. [Bakugo eyes the time, then sighs and steps back into his room. A quick rundown. That's it. He says. To himself. In his head.] It's designed to augment my fighting style and Quirk. These idiots would've been fucking stupid to bring me here to fight for them and not include it.

[He can fight well enough on his own, but his costume enhances that even more.]

[I'm so sorry to make you explain MHA lore, but:]

A quirk?

[Everything else makes sense. "Quirk", meanwhile: Ren knows what that word means in isolate. Context, however...]

A power of some sort, then?

[If you think he's gonna give a long explanation, you're asking the wrong nerd. HA!

Bakugo abruptly cups his hand by his side and what looks like a small grenade explosion detonates above his palm, black mushroom cloud of smoke blooming upward before he fists the results with a threatening clench.]

80% of the population in my world have them.

[Ok, but honestly: Ren respects the live demonstration way more.

He looks mildly surprised, before it smooths into something thoughtful.]

I see. I bet the slugs didn't like that.

[He snaps his fingers and the glasses on his face flicker, first into a mask and then blue flames, evaporating right off his face. Arsène alights behind him in a crouch for two, three seconds before Ren dismisses him and the glasses appear back on his face.]

I have some fire-related skills in my repertoire, but I don't have that much localized control.

[Good. Because that may or may not have made other people outside the room jump from hearing an explosion go off somewhere. Then again, one or two of them have met Bakugo before, so yeah.]

Those fucking small fry? I murdered them.

[Not even a damn challenge. Though the sudden demonstration of Ren's abilities in that flare up earn a quick twitch of Bakugo's brows in surprise. A summoning beast? Similar to Tokoyami's in that case... He doubts it's connected to this guy's glasses, despite the flare. Probably just accents. Big summon... damn.]

And that guy is also in your arsenal? Or is he your arsenal?

He's part of it. I have several.

[Twelve, to be exact, but who's counting? ~~Me, unfortunately.~~]

It gives me room to change up what I can do.

[So what, like a summoner in those RPG kind of games? Bakugo narrows his eyes slightly. Good to know... He'll keep that in mind for when they're on a mission together, work out the details another time.

(He wants to know now, natural curiosity, but he's tired and grumpy, so fuck you, curiosity.)

Bakugo turns away from Ren and makes to take his costume off his bed.]

What about you physically? One hit and you're down?

Of course not. And that's assuming they can catch me, first.

[He grins briefly, more to himself than anything else, since Bakugo has his back turned. The amusement comes through in his voice, sure, but the smile has a mean edge it lacks.]

How about you? Do the clothes double as armor, or is it just offensive?

A combatant as well, huh.

[Good. He won't fall into the same problem that Bird Brains did. Relying too much on his summon and neglecting his own physical training. Whether that's speed or strength. He can find out later. Folding up his costume, he sets it on the desk piecemeal, support gear beside it soon enough. He'll have to fill those things later...]

My equipment is for offense. Clothes are mostly just clothes.

I like to act on my own when I have the chance.

[The confidence is starting to drift into cocky territory, even if it isn't without grounds.

But he notes the methodical way Bakugo works, at sharp odds with the way he can devolve into yelling.]

What did you do in your own world?

When you have the chance?

[That's an odd way to putting it, especially when the general topic is combat. Who doesn't act on their own in combat? Even if that action is to follow someone else's orders. It's a choice.

The guy's confidence is either backed up or unbased arrogance, which is going to get shot down the first time he steps into a fight.]

Kicked the shit out of people who pissed me off.

[He just shrugs a little, a casual tilt of his neck and head. More often than not, he's part of a team and plays his role accordingly, filling in the gaps as needed.

Having the total freedom to do as he pleases, though? He wouldn't trade his friends for the world, but the adrenaline junkie in him doesn't know how to refuse that rush.]

Sounds like that could be a lot of people.

[Great. He'll let it slide for now and just keep an eye on him if they end up assigned to the same mission. Find out what he means by "chance", if he means it in a way different than Bakugo's assuming.

With his gear and costume set away for now, Bakugo moves to his bed and takes a seat on it (shoved it against the wall when he got in) leaning against the wall after a quick scoot. He set his room up to look like his U.A. room in layout for pure comfort's sake.]

It is. What about you?

[Sorry, Bakugo. He isn't even intentionally being cryptic about that; Ren just isn't a big talker without a need.]

Worked a bunch of part-time jobs.

[If you abbreviate "phantom thief" and "part-time" to "PT", they're practically the same thing!]

Tried to live an honest student life.

[He's kind of used to that, with Ren giving some shades of Todoroki. Just without the social faux pas the other hero is prone to stumble onto. Bakugo can appreciate someone not being a mouthy idiot though.]

Jack of all trades, huh.

[Wow, don't be a fucking nerd in your head, Ren! Before you get slapped with a Pun Tax.]

"Tried"?

[Suspicious way of putting that...]

[The jack of all trades comment gets a small smile out of him. Close. (He's a joker.)]

One of my teachers didn't like me very much.

[It's unapologetic. Kamoshida simultaneously feels like a lifetime ago and still too close.

But he glances away, attention momentarily drawn by some noise outside the door. Another pizza? Oh, nope, another pillow fort.]

...I'll leave before they try to set up in your room.

[Good thing he's not looking at him or it might have gotten a quirked eyebrow. (What a hearty pun.)]

That sounds like the teacher's the one at fault.

[Assumption, but the way Ren words it definitely suggests he's not the guilty party. Tch, there's no book or anything to read while he's just sitting here. Great...]

Or come in and shut the door if you're gonna be chatty.

[Something about this guy at least doesn't piss him off, unlike the majority of others he's met so far.]

[The surprise that darts across his face is flicker-quick, but you know what? Why the hell not; he accepts the invitation and takes the chair by Bakugo's desk.]

Would've thought you'd want to sleep sooner than later. Especially with...all of this.

[Like he's not gonna lie, circumstances are Weird.]

[Bakugo's not even looking, so he won't yell at him about the flicker. So long as he shuts the damn door to drown out the idiots outside. He doesn't want other people thinking his room's open for a stupid blanket fort or other drop-in visits.

He does at least make sure Ren's not going to bother his costume and gear since he's taking a seat by his desk.]

I'll kick you out when I'm done.

[Circumstances are fucked up to say the least, though escaping isn't an option either. Annoying.]

[Don't worry, Bakugo, Ren has your back. Or at least the sense to maintain some semblance of privacy and not, you know, touch other people's shit (at least not when they're looking right at him).]

Done with what?

[Now who's phrasing things in odd ways...]

[Hmph. He has a few thoughts on how he wants to arrange his room considering everything that's going on. Storage, security, personal wants, etc. Has to get to know this place more though.]

Dealing with you, baka.

[When his patience with Ren's chatter runs out and his want to go to sleep takes priority. Simple enough.]

[The look on his face is an interesting mix of bemusement and amusement.]

That makes it sound like I've done something wrong.

[Enough to make him wonder if he's done something incriminating, which isn't even logical to wonder? At least, he's pretty sure it isn't.]

[Don't make him throw a damn pillow at your face. (Doesn't have anything harder.) Bakugo glares at the other guy in return.]

You're going to if you waste my time.

[If Ren wanted to come in here and talk, he's doing a poor job of keeping the conversation going.]

Apart from that summon, what else can you do?

[So maybe Ren chose to come in here more out of curiosity than a concrete plan... Typical.]

Nothing that seems too out of the ordinary here. I don't think I've met anyone who can't handle some melee combat.

[Inside the simulation and whenever it's come up; so far, everyone has acknowledged some kind of combat acumen.]

Can you still do everything you could back home?

[At least the door's shut and blocks out the rest of the damn party. No one's going to bother them. Worth it to have one person instead of... ten.]

I have.

[Some stupid duelist... that or Bakugo's just being petty because he and Manjoume hit it off poorly.]

Yeah, but it's weaker.

[He looks down at his hand.]

Feels like there's a damper on how strong I was before I got here. They say it's temporary.
