( 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 ([plurk.com profile] yosakoi ).

It is, but I can handle it.

[ He's always been strong; he's only got stronger from fighting the curses he's faced. ]

My school, yeah. Sorcerers are an organisation that work together to fight curses, and we train at the school before we can fight properly as adults.

[ Oh, a daring move!! Yuji tries to reach for another bottom one and carefully places it on top. ]

[Their tower is getting a little precarious now; Ren finally moves a block from the top half and gingerly sets it down.

But damn... A school and organization sounds so much more coordinated than Ren's experience with fighting anything.]


You're from Japan?

[Most of the people he's met have been from Japan, which makes sense since they are, currently, in Japan.]

What year?

[ Yuji focuses, trying to pick a good block; he decides to go mid-level and gently places it at the top of the tower. ]

That's right. I'm at the Tokyo school.

[ Leaning back, he breathes a sigh of relief when it doesn't collapse. ]

2018.

[Oh shit, the future.

Ren is paying less attention than he should when he takes another block from just below center and the tower wobbles. He eyes it warily, before he finally sets the block on top.]


Any tips you think someone from New Year's in 2017 ought to know?

[personal profile] eyescar 2023-12-28 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[ Yuji rubs at his face absently, looking at the pieces before he sighs. It's all a little tangled in his head and he feels guilty still, but - ]

You should probably avoid Shibuya at Halloween if you don't want to die.

[And just like that Yuji has all of Ren's attention, though his expression stays almost eerily blank.]

What happens in Shibuya on Halloween?

[It's out of his mouth before it occurs to him that he doesn't have a way to pass on this information (irrelevant) or that they might not even be from the same Tokyo (semi-relevant).]

[personal profile] eyescar 2023-12-28 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yuji shakes his head, teeth gritted. ]

Curses attack. One of them... Sukuna. He kills thousands of people in one second. You should definitely be as far away as possible.

[personal profile] 1797 2024-01-03 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Ok. What the fuck. Ren keeps staring at Yuji for a split second, compartmentalizing.]

Quick question: Have you ever heard of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?

[Most of the people who visited Mishima's website were students. Yuji would probably recognize the name if curses and shadows coexist.]
eyescar: (Default)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-03 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bad things happen, dude, and Yuji is often in the middle of it. ]

Phantom Thieves... Nope, never heard of them.

[ He's really trying to think, too. ]
1797: mm 👓 surprise (shujin#16728369)

[personal profile] 1797 2024-01-04 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[The protagonist's curse...

Ren rubs his jaw with one hand, glancing aside as he thinks.]


I think we're from different versions of Tokyo. [But his expression is still serious when he looks back at Yuji.] Just a single curse can do that?

[Maybe he shouldn't be surprised when Yaldabaoth could rewrite reality, but lbr P5 is not a canon about living with consequences.]
eyescar: (pic#16908090)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-04 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He's the King of Curses. Sukuna.

[ Yuji does not mention that he is Sukuna's vessel and, therefore, blames himself for all those murders.

He feels as though it's entirely his fault. ]


So people might be okay in your version? Your world?
1797: anth 👓 think (shujin#16307125)

[personal profile] 1797 2024-01-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We might not have curses at all, at least not by the same name.

[It doesn't mean some other terrible thing won't happen, but...nothing is guaranteed.]

I know it doesn't change what happened where you're from, but I don't think it's inevitable.
eyescar: (pic#16843987)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-06 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe...

[ Does it make him feel better? Only a little. In one world, Yuji Itadori isn't a mass murderer, and Sukuna doesn't kill thousands of people. ]

I'm glad your Shibuya might be safe, then.

[Ren might not know how Yuji directly ties into what happened, but he at least realizes it isn't something fixable. He shakes his head.]

I'm sorry about what happened in yours.

[Trite, maybe, but he means it sincerely.]

And I'm sorry if you lost anyone important to you.

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-08 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah...

[ He did. He lost too much in Shibuya, but... He manages a smile, poking at one of the jenga pieces. ]

They're back. Here, I mean, not at home. They brought them back.

LILITH? [Which honestly makes sense if they're pulling people from different times and worlds already.] They really didn't pull any punches with you.

[Worldhopping all on its own is a lot, let alone suddenly reuniting with people you thought were dead.]

Must be nice, though, that there are people here you know.
eyescar: (pic#16904840)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-09 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's one way to get me to do what they want, right?

[ Even if he wasn't planning on doing it anyway, considering that it's what he was made to do... ]

It's made things easier.
1797: mm 👓 think (shujin#16921060)

[personal profile] 1797 2024-01-11 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[His expression turns wry. It's true, but even after hearing about Shibuya, Ren hadn't expected such a blunt observation from Yuji.]

Do you think they'll try to hold it over you?
eyescar: (pic#16918962)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-11 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know yet. I haven't spoken to anyone who seems like they're in charge.

[ Dropping his hand down, he frowns, staring at the wood. ]

I would help if they asked, but if they put one of my friends on the line... I don't know what I'd do.
1797: ani 👓 surprise (shujin#16307207)

[personal profile] 1797 2024-01-12 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Ren leans back on his hands, his own gaze dropping to follow Yuji's.]

...Let's hope they don't do something that stupid, then. I think there are a lot of people here who wouldn't stand for it.

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-01-12 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I feel like we've all got something we're gonna fight for. I wonder if that's why they brought us here.

[ Because they'd be willing to do it, because they'd be happy to... Hm. ]
