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 ).

[It's not you, Raidou; it's Ren checking himself before he tries to convince him to eat a mystery food. Maybe not the best impression after they were compelled to hold hands.

(That's really all that's holding him back, unfortunately.)]

What kind of food are you used to?

Well, I'm from T-- [He cuts himself off, as saying he's from Taishou 20 has only brought confusion every time. Since everywhere else so far, it's a year that doesn't exist.]

Ah, 1922. So pretty much everything is is something I am not used to. I have about 350 years I'm trying to catch up on. Somewhere between then and now-- [He shifts his head to look at one of the bags in his arms.] "root beer shrimp explosion" flavor was invented.

[The look he shoots Raidou over his shoulder is surprised, to say the least, before it turns into a mildly rueful smile.]

Maybe I should treat you with more respect, then.

[Sorry, Kuzunoha-senpai.]

But that one doesn't exist in the next ninety or so years, as far as I know. [At least not in that combination.] Did they have root beer in 1922?

I'm still just 17 though, regardless of what year I come from.

[Leona acted like Raidou was practically a ghost, he doesn't want anyone else getting the same idea.

He'll drop his snack pile on to the table at the party central, poking over them to see what other weird things might be found.]

Ah, yes, we did. Though I've not had it. But I don't know what makes it a good combination with shrimp, or explosive.

[Please also don't be like Nobara who thought they didn't have electricity or cars in 1922.

Raidou decides to find out what the hell cool ranch involves. The package promises to be the classic and best flavor, but Raidou just looks confused after taking a bite of one chip. He sure was experiencing something. Maybe this was the explosion.]

This is...

[He looks at Ren, concern on his face. He doesn't know how to describe it.]

Well it's, ah. I expected it to be worse, honestly?

[Ren follows suit, offloading his armful of vending machine loot.]

You could probably grill shrimp in root beer and it would be fine...

[Said while picking up a couple bags that didn't stick the landing or, really, were pushed off the table by the newest snackfall.

He looks up at the crinkling of chip bag and the crunch, a little cautious because he doesn't know what Raidou actually chose to eat, but that's a pretty chill reaction? So.]

I bet we could find something worse.

["Pretty chill" would describe most of Raidou's reactions to things. Hand holding notwithstanding.

Raidou sets the bag down, nose crinkled, and he reaches for s bottle of water on a nearby table. He does look mildly perturbed at that suggestion, at least.]

... Do we want to do that?

Edited (fun phone tag times ) 2023-12-27 06:01 (UTC)

It is a party.

[He gives a tuft of his hair a tug in a way that suggests he's planning something and leans forward to snatch another bag off the table. He holds fried pickles with kiwi (what kind of kiwi is left unspecified) out to Raidou.]

One of the rules is to live dangerously.

[No.]

[He looks at the bag, then at Ren. Well, when in Rome. This is how you make friends, right? Maybe?

He decides to not even read the label to keep any preconceptions out of his taste test, and just grabs a chip.

Oh. This one is much worse than the last one. There are some flavors that are competing here, but all of them are losing. Raidou's face wrinkles up for a moment before he swiftly pops the cap from the water bottle and knocks half it back.]

Oh, no. No thanks. No thanks to whatever that was.

[Oh, the mad lad actually did it.

Ren flips the bag over to interrogate the ingredients label. Oh-so-helpfully, like Raidou was actually curious about what he just ate, he begins to read:]

Potato, pickles, water, modified canola oil, synthetic flour, dried kiwi flesh [what], salt, maltodextrin (made from corn), garlic powder, yogurt [what??], medium chain triglycerides, yeast extract, Yellow 5 and Red 40...

[A Kuzunoha has no fear! But he does have some regrets right now, because this is a lingering flavor. And who knows, whatever he picks up next could be worse.

Processed foods are so perplexing.]

I think maybe I'll just grab dinner and the cafeteria before this all kicks off.

[A Kuzunoha is also very sensible in a way Ren is not. He's quick to peer into the bag, like he might try some himself, except he finds himself holding it at arm's length once he gets a proper whiff inside.]

Holy shit. [Taking a swear out of Ryuji's book. It's for a good cause.] Yeah. That was maybe a little too dangerous.

[He still has the audacity to smile cheekily at Raidou.]

But it got you to appreciate the cafeteria food.

[That earns Ren a bit of a sheepish smile.]

You got me there. If there's a lesson here, I guess that you can always find something worse.

[Ren's smile softens into something more friendly at Raidou's own expression.]

Thanks for the help. You should probably hurry if you're going to grab dinner.

[He picks up an empty bag, intending to stash the offending snacks inside, and gives Raidou a little nod. Save yourself from the impending pizza crimes, man.]
