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 ).

( of course it makes perfect sense for chairs to be sitting around, especially when they haven't been put in their final places amidst all the blankets and pillows and whatever else is going to end up being needed for however many pillow forts they end up with —

but he does stop when he hears a disembodied voice, looking around until he sees first the bags in hand and then the one attached to those hands, and he grins, moving to grab that precariously leaning chair and set it out of the way.

well. the immediate way. ) Need help with those bags?

[Ren proceeds to yank the other chair towards him, before he can overbalance, and catches it with the same foot to keep it from slamming into his knees.

The look he gives Vash is sheepish.]

Which are you feeling more? [A quick glance at which bag is which.] Synthetic cheese dip or a couple liters of corn syrup?

[Take your pick of mystery containers or soda, Vash.]

( this guy's got some pretty darn good reflexes, he notes with a slight tilt of his head; he just so happens to know them when he sees them, you know, because he likes to pretend he doesn't have any for himself more often than he does.

it pays to make yourself look like an idiot nine times out of ten, you know. because then people underestimate you.

he reaches for the bag of soda with a laugh. ) I'll take my chances with the carbonation. It's safe enough … as long as I don't drop it.

( a-hyuck. )

Famous last words.

[Deadpan, even as he gives up the bag without a fuss.

He pushes the chair in front of him aside, now that he has an actual hand free.]

Did you get attacked by killer cheese dip at some point?

I should have a lot of those by now. ( he says … like that's supposed to make any sense … but all the scuffles he's been in where the other guy thought he was going to win? it does actually make sense.

he shrugs, one-shouldered, with a small shake of his head. ) Not that I can remember, but … I dunno. Synthetic cheese just sounds sketchy to me ( which is a bold thing to say, considering any cheese on any pizza you may have had in the past is probably fake as all hell.

but to each their own. )

Are you famous?

[The question pops out of Ren without thought as he carries his cheese dip loot over to the official snack pile. Maybe he should think more about the "last words" component instead.]

But I guess that's true. [Or is he just taking Vash's word for it. No, wait:] Maybe there'll be a cheese kaiju.

[He's just being an idiot. But it was escargot last time.]

( he almost trips over his own feet on his way to dropping off his own bag of soda, that innocent question enough to have him internally floundering.

( more like infamous, really, but that's neither here nor there. ) ) Famous? ( he checks himself, trying to reel his expression back into something more neutral, though whether it actually works or not is anyone's guess. sometimes he's too expressive for his own good. ) Nothing like that—

I just get into a lot of sticky situations, aha … ( whew. nailed it!

but hold on a second. he shudders at the thought of a — ) Cheese kaiju. Eugh. Please, for the love of everything, I hope not. ( look. he's being an idiot, but now vash is picturing it, and it doesn't look good. at all. ) It would be so nasty.

[Vash! Ren isn't expecting that much of a reaction, even if he only catches the last half of it.]

It could be the stickiest situation yet.

[Literally... 🥁 ]

So you're like a magnet for trouble. [Ren cannot judge, so he isn't, but he does give Vash a once-over. For the funny.] Age really is just a number.

[He really keeps calling adults old even when they do not actually look old.]
