SLEEPOVER TIME

[allurprincess]

Characters: Everyone!
Format: ANY
This log is: open beyond all belief.
Location: The gym on Fortitude campus.
Summary: So there's a massive room carpeted in mattresses and covers and pillows and people are bringing food and there will probably be pillow fights.
Warnings: to be added

Sora had perhaps had too much time on her hands. She hadn't gone down to the train station on time, having been preoccupied putting up posters, but she had at least met some of the new arrivals in the resulting storm of questions and comments on the computers. Which had occupied her for another hour or so. All in all, she hadn't had that much time to actually set up the room, but she'd had enough. With the help of friends and even some amiable NPCs, she'd managed to drag enough mattresses into the gym that it looked like they were going to be learning judo rather than sleeping. Food was yet to arrive beyond a pile of snacks and drinks she'd liberated from the cafeteria at lunch, but she had faith in Yuki, Feferi and the others that they'd pull through.

She'd even managed to get packs of balloons from Recette for a few raks. These were strewn liberally around the edges of the room. The shower and bathroom facilities were fully stocked with towels and there were alarm clocks so they could still get to the assemblies in the morning. They were ready.

All in all, Sora was proud of how well it had turned out. Now all she needed was people.

Comments

[cullscuttlefish]

When Feferi arrives, she isn't alone. She has a few helpful NPCs with her, helping her carry the massive pile of things she has with her. The foremost among them are those trays of cupcakes, strawberry and vanilla and chocolate. There's a dab of icing on the tip of her nose, a relic of the last-minute baking frenzy, but she hasn't noticed nor does she care. And then there are her pillows and personal things. But she mainly needed help with the cupcakes. She smiles, telling the NPCs to take their promised ones, then sees them off.

"Hi! I'm Feferi."

[allurprincess]

"Hi! I'm Sora," Sora had run over as the NPCs left, and had in that time managed to convince herself that Feferi's hair must be the softest thing ever. Next to Koharu's hair, of course, which was simply the best there was. She grinned with all the exhuberance of a teenager whose plans were all going right, and held out her hand to shake. "Wow, your horns are really pretty... Can I touch them?"

[knightime]

Dave was just...going to watch and stare. Seriously. She really went all out on the baked goods.

He goes over finally, a napkin held out to her so she can clean her face off. It's like diabetes heaven up in this gym.

[shootingforpeace]

Koharu showed up in her uniform still with a bundle of clothing and a blanket tucked up under one arm and a tray of delicious food carefully balanced with her other hand.

It's a little bit of a struggle to get through the door like this but she managed. She deposits it somewhere flat and drops onto a mattress, looking around.

"Where did we even get all these mattresses?"

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki had arrived a few minutes prior, she had brought her own batch of food, cupcakes mostly, which were mixed in with Feferi's cupcakes and now Koharu's food. She scoots over to Koharu, Yuki being a few mattresses away, and stops when they each have their own next to each other, "I think maybe Sora asked Dolorosa for some help getting them."

[knightime]

Dave had taken quite a few of the pillows and blankets for some reason. Maybe even a few of the mattresses. Why? Well, he was making an honest to gog pillow fort. Dave was also obviously in a better mood too. He seemed to be moving to a beat, most likely in his head, and the tense and unapproachable vibe he gave off was no longer a thing.

And, damn, that was a damn good pillow fort if he says so himself. But he can't say so. So instead, he will look at it smugly.

[wakingsavior]

Don't mind the dork over here hiding under a blanket and peeking out to watch you build that fort, Dave. John's happy you're in a better mood and just kind of wants to drink that in for the moment.

It doesn't help that he's ridiculously cute when he does that movement thing, always in time to some music that John's almost positive isn't actually playing out loud. Though he's not positive about that.

How did he ever get along without having dave and jade actually physically in his life?

[straightupzorra]

[Santana was not happy.]

[She did not want to be here, she wanted to be with Day planning the demise of both Conquest for losing and Fortitude for winning the round. Her unhappiness showed, even as she bit into one of the cupcakes baked by another attendant.]

[It was a good cupcake though.]

[So! Santana will be sulking in a corner, pissed that she was roped into this and watching out for any sign of trouble or rule breaking. She's watching you.]

[effortless]

Good evening, Santana. [ is she here to gloat? Why, of course not. That would be unbecoming. ]

[mamarosa]

[Dolorosa is happily walking around the room, making sure everyone has everything they need and are comfortable. The smile never leaves her face, but then again it rarely does here (unless something bad happens, but nothing bad has happened yet).]

[Most likely Dolorosa is trying to get you to eat some of the food that the other students have so kindly put together for the others.]

[knightime]

[Dave was sitting on the floor, out of the way, eating. Well, not quite eating. He was pretty much decimating his food first in his bizarre need to alter food before consuming it.

He rubbed the back of his neck, winced, then went back to messing with his food. Once he was satisfied, he started eating.

Dave glanced up and saw Dolorosa. Oh. She still confused him a bit. Seriously. Compared to Vriska and Karkat and Gamzee, he can't understand how she came out so peaceful.]

[isur2ndprincess]

[Lalala Yuki is here just relaxing in the middle of the room]

[whitestknight]

[ which makes her the ideal target of a rather bewildered Commandant. He got picked up and dragged here by an enthusiastic girl in green, but she forgot to actually tell him where she was taking him or why. At least he's in his uniform rather than full plate now? There's always that. ]

Pardon me, but what precisely is happening here?

[mrdickery]

[30 minutes late, hopefully just long enough for the festivities to get started so he won't be noticed, Yuri drops into the gym with an armful of boxes full of, you guessed it, homemade snackage. Sandwiches, sushi and rice balls. Finger foods to balance out what is probably going to be a multitude of cakes and sweets. Not that he doesn't mind those, but even too much sugar can be problematic.

The effort was mostly made on behalf of Yuki, though if questioned he'll say he was trying out new recipes and made too much. Shouldn't be a problem since he doubts Flynn is here and the friends he's made don't know him well enough to guess otherwise, right? Riiiight.]

[savedbyasong]

[Shion had a much smaller box, with some simple cakes. He had spent most his time after work trying to make cherry pie, and failing horribly. Whatever he tried he could not remember how to make it... by the time he had given up it was too late to make anything except these cakes.

He saw Yuri, his bar fighting teacher and smiled at him.] Are you here for the sleepover as well?

[whitestknight]

[ yeah about that. Never underestimate Flynn's ability to show up at exactly the wrong right moment. He's beyond uncomfortable with the thought of just sitting down on a mattress with a group of - admittedly friendly - strangers, so he's been pacing instead.

Wow Yuri that's a lot of food. Help a friend and explain what's going on. ]

What would be the occasion?

[trollofthree]

Evening!

[ he addresses the room at large. Gino is a little late to the party, but at least he comes bearing pizza? A stack of boxes, actually, charmed out of his boss at the promise that it'll bring in more Exaclan customers. He picks a place, and sprawls down onto a mattress. ]

[babysage]

Wow you're tall! [Kotaro grinned at him and flopped down beside him] Is that pizza? Can I have some? [Kotaro has his priorities right!]

[healinghero]

[Yellow wanders into the the gym and blinks for a moment. She had been competely lost for a while there. She smiles and heads over the a mattress to sit down and gaze about at the people around her.]

[babysage]

[Kotaro sees someone sitting alone and skips over to see them since they didn't look much older than him.]

Hello!

[relentless_sentinel]

Hiya, did ya just get here too?

[Hello Yellow, have a green haired girl smiling at you]

PRANK TIME (About an Hour into the Sleepover)

[frozenmemories]

{~NOTE- YOU MAY STILL ENTER BEFORE THIS EVENT HAPPENS~}

[About an hour into the fun the door to the gym opens very slowly, the person there trying hard not to make a sound. If one was too look, there was a small child standing there wrapped in a blanket to hide their identity. After a moment of glancing around and picking out where their targets were, they start throwing pillows at everyone with a grin crossing their face.]

aww yeah

[trollofthree]

[ Gino, being fairly large, becomes a target whether she meant it or not. The pillow hits his shoulder, and successfully interrupts a description of Knightmare Frames to his mattress buddy. And so without missing a beat, he snatches the pillow from between himself and Kotaro and throws it at someone close enough that a hit is assured. ]

Horror stories!- before the pillow fight! (warnings for zombies, and death)

[babysage]

Gino had told Kotaro that sleepovers were meant to have scary stories, and there were no scary stories being told so Kotaro was taking things into his own hands.

"Excuse me!" He called from where he sat on Gino's shoulders, he was now easily at the highest point of the room and could see everybody! There was a lot of people, but Kotaro grinned and tried to act like he always talked in front of lots of people.

"Gino says you got to tell scary stories so who wants to hear a scary story? One dark dark night when there was no moon, which was why it was so dark, and they were in a forest so there was no lights. Some travelers were walking, because they were going to another town to live.

They heard a noise and at first they thought it was a wild animal so they wern't that scared because they could just fly away from them. But the rustling got louder and louder and all of a sudden they were surrounded!

Not by wild animals but by Kowloon children!" The dramatic pause here makes it obvious Kotaro expects his audience to know what he is talking about, and be suitably horrified.

"The travelers, there were five of them fought really hard but they didn't have any silver weapons on them, so the Kowloon children soon got the better of them and one of their number fell.

His friends ran to his rescue but his blood had been drank by the Kowloon children and even for a Black Blood that means you are one of them, the travelers saw their friend turn into a monster in front of their eyes and had to run.

One by one they fell turning into monsters and being controlled by the head Kowloon child. Until there was just one traveler left. He fought his friends and they chased him. He ran and ran really fast but they were fast too and soon he came to the ocean, which was on the other side of the forest.

The ocean went on for days and days and he would never be able to fly over it. The Kowloon children had surrounded him and he didn't want to be a monster so grabbing his two friends, who would never be able to be normal vampires again he jumped into the sea and they all died.

The end."

Re: Horror stories!- before the pillow fight! (warnings for zombies, and death)

[relentless_sentinel]

Well, at least Nephenee thought it was scary...

"S-so how do ya defeat one of those Kowloon children?" What if they met one here and she couldn't protect Kotaro oh nooooo (yes, she had missed the part about silver weapons. She was too busy being on the edge of her seat.)
