THERE AINT NO PARTY LIKE A BLANKET FORT SLUMBER PARTY

[sunstead]

Who: OPEN to anyone and everyone!
When: May 22nd (Saturday) after 6pm and the following morning
Where: Class 3-D
What: it's time to heal from all the chaos and murder with a blanket fort slumber party, hell yeah hell yeah

Sometime after school has fully closed for the day and everyone else has gone home, a sign is put up on the door to 3-D. In rounded letters and surrounded by drawings of flowers and a couple cartoon cats, it reads:

BLANKET FORT CONSTRUCTION ZONE
slumber party @ 8pm
all are welcome!
(rule breakers will be sent to JAIL)
... if you show up early, everything might still be in the process of being set up, but by 8pm most of the desks and chairs in the room have either been pushed to the sides or stacked strategically in the middle to form mighty fortress walls. These are, of course, topped with blankets for cover, because it wouldn't be a blanket fort without blankets. Blankets are a limited resource at the school, so it's recommended to bring your own if you don't want to share a fort with someone else. Or maybe just steal a big scrap of fabric from the art room. Close enough, right?

Aside from the obvious arrangements at the centre, there is an un-blanketed pair of desks set aside for snacks. Nene made cookies, and Clamor has put out a bowl of healthy nuts and fruit (as if anyone would actually take those over the cookies). For drinks, there are a few bottles of juice and one pot of (thoroughly filtered) tea and a few cups to use. A small folded sign at the table politely reads "Don't be greedy."

If you are greedy, or if you harass anyone else just trying to have a good time, you risk being sent to... gay baby jail™. It is, as always, a cardboard box situated in the farthest corner of the room, and guarded diligently by only the most fearsome of dads and buff teenagers. You have been warned.

There is also a second cardboard jail cell on the opposite corner of the room, which is not labelled (yet). The inside is absolutely covered in scratch marks, since it's the same box that was used to catch the cat earlier in the month... but now it's jail 2: jail harder. It is reserved for criminals who cannot be allowed to collaborate during jail time, and you know who you are, please just behave yourselves.

This is meant to be a slumber party, so eventually, an amount of slumber will be expected. Luckily it's the weekend, so everyone is welcome to sleep in for as long as they want... just don't sleep in too late, unless you want to get stuck helping with clean up.

---

((OOC: It's another mingle!!! Feel free to make your own toplevels and comment around, start some party games, bring some extra snacks, hijack Nene's nerf gun to lay siege to your neighbour's fort... w/e!

This is meant to be something of a break from the usual death and despair of murderschool, so please don't do any actual murders in this log that is literally the lowest bar i can ask of y'all. Put warnings in your threads as needed! General chaos is fine, but characters that cause too much of a disturbance will be manhandled and sent to gay baby jail™. You have been warned... twice!!

ICly the fort construction and party is being arranged by Clamor, Noah, Sidney and Nene, but basically anyone who wants to pop in and help out is welcome to, and CR may have been asked to join/help out in advance. If you need an excuse for your character to come, someone else could've dragged them there to chill—just ask!

anyway that's all pls have fun, go nuts))

[ Gundham is here too! Under the guise of being one of the people on security. He mostly just didn't want to be alone at the moment, but he's not voicing those thoughts aloud. Also, those beetles that were released? They're resting on his shoulders at the moment. He'll let you come see them, but if you try to squash them he'll get mad.

Other than that, he also won't hesitate to hoist troublemakers out of the room. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Oh - that's interesting.]

You seem quite adept at handling them, young man.

[Nodding towards the beetles....even with his animal communication, beetles were a whole different ballgame.]

[overlordofice]

Ah, yes. I have taken care of numerous creatures and insects in my time. I understand many mortals tend to shy away from beings such as these, so I have taken it upon myself to watch them for now.

[ Plus he misses having small critters sitting on his shoulders. They may not be his Dark Devas, but they'll do for now. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Hmhm....how very kind of you. Still, as long as they are not disruptive, I see no issue in having them around.

[Most beetles are pretty chill, tbh. The most they do is go after wood or potentially clothing, and he highly doubts any of those are bombardier beetles.]

Though - mortals?

[overlordofice]

Indeed. Those who wish to incur their ire must face me, first.

[ And he means it!! Instigators beware- you mess with the beetles you mess with the Supreme Overlord. ]

And yes! I am not of this mortal plane! I have simply stepped foot upon the Earth so that I may tame even the most intimidating of demon beasts! Little did I know that the fates themselves would strip me of my abilities upon arriving here.

[ He's heard that people who used to have powers don't have them any more in the school, which is a shame considering he wants to see magic in action. ]

[unsurely]

[ He won't get... too close... sorry there's another experience with bugs that sits fresh in his mind even now and he'd rather not have to repeat it. But at the same time, he can't help but feel Gundham looks kind of lonely all by himself, and it bothers Shuichi so. ]

Ah... here. Do you want some? I thought it might make it difficult for you to move around like this, so...

[ He offers him a cup of tea. Because you know, he really does think if Gundham walked across the whole room to get some, with the bugs still on him, he'd cause a commotion regardless of if he means to or not. ]

[overlordofice]

[ Honestly it kind of works out for him that he has bugs on him- less people will want to come near him, and he does like his space. Case in point! He looks up past his scarf to see someone approaching him. ]

...I suppose this will suffice. Very well, I shall take this offering!

[ He doesn't say his thanks out loud, but he does nod in appreciation. Carefully, he takes the tea from Shuichi, taking a sip. It's pretty good. ]

[unsurely]

[ Offering...? But you know, if there's one thing Shuichi's learned in his own school full of weirdos, it's to not try to question these things very hard, so he doesn't. And, now that he's here with Gundham, he can at least make some conversation for a bit since it's the only way he can think of to keep him company. ]

You're... one of the other Ultimates too, right? Is that why you were able to gather the beetles so easily? It was pretty amazing.

[overlordofice]

Fuhahaha, yes! I have many titles, but the ones most simple mortals regard me with is Ultimate Breeder. That is merely a front for my own dark machinations, however! For I am the Supreme Overlord of Ice: Gundham Tanaka!

[ He grins widely in a confident stance, looking at the other. If he knew right of the bat that Gundham was an Ultimate, perhaps he was too? ]

Perhaps you share an Earthly title such as Ultimate as well?

[unsurely]

[ Ultimate Breeder... so that means, he raises animals? That would definitely explain why the bugs seem so quiet around him... he probably knows everything about their habits and what kind of things they'd respond to.

Thinking about that, at least, does relax Shuichi a little. This guy talks weird, sure, but practically speaking he helped a lot. ]

Ah... that's right. I'm Shuichi Saihara. I was selected to be the Ultimate Detective... but I couldn't have done anything as incredible as what you did. We were really lucky you happened to be here.

[ And that's honest... ensuing chaos from everything notwithstanding. ]

Maybe... everyone got a little caught up in the aftermath... but still. Thank you for helping us.

[contrarily]

Did you give them names yet?

( the beetles!! )

[overlordofice]

...Hm. Not as of yet, though I have been pondering proper titles to give them.

[ Powerful forces of nature deserve names that which convey this, after all! ]

[contrarily]

Okay, I'll help!

( and she points at the beetle on his left shoulder. )

How about... Lord Hornyboy The Fourth?

[overlordofice]

...No.

[contrarily]

...

( :(

wah... wah... sniff... )

[commences]

Tanaka-kun!

( here comes komaeda to come and check on things because you know... those beetles were bought with somebody's merit points. )

It's good to see you here... ah, if only I could see your talent quell the bees, but I think they're gone.

[overlordofice]

Yes, I'm afraid I was not present at the time the bees had been spotted. [ If you've been around him long enough, there was hint of sadness there you could faintly hear, but it quickly vanished soon after. ]

However, these beings shall suffice in the meantime. They have been quite amicable.

[commences]

( komaeda's been around him long enough, so it's easy to spot, but he laughs it off to act like he didn't notice. no need to embarrass him, well, not right now. )

I might have have heard a little buzzing from the hallway, do you want to check with me?

( they can bring the beetles too, they might be happy to gain a new friend. )

[overlordofice]

I see. Very well then; perhaps we might catch onto their whereabouts before they have dispersed for good. The dark machinations of fate are turning yet.

[ He motions for Komaeda to lead the way. ]

emi i miss u my rock pikmin

[commences]

You're as eccentric as always! Let's see...

( bringing tanaka along feels like old times, well, old times to him, and present times to the other ultimate. as they make it to the door, komaeda peeks outside scanning the area to make sure no one else is out. i know, it seems suspicious, but he's not up to anything. )

We have to make sure he isn't nearby... ( he sighs. ) He's like a rabid dog ready to attack anything that moves... so pitiful... so disappointing...

[moderating]

Here you Gundam... [ She's been collecting the Beetles and giving them to him, it seems they stay with him for whatever reason. ]

[overlordofice]

Ah, I see. [ More beetles!! Gundham takes them into his hands and watches as some of them crawl along his left arm. He's definitely thankful for the help- he didn't want to get in the way of everyone else's festivities, especially since people aren't as receptive as he is to the little critters. He quietly speaks. ] ...I appreciate the assistance, Nanami-san.

[moderating]

How are you? [ They hadn't met before now had they? She wanted to come sooner but, she supposes now is better then never. She has one beetle in her hand!! It's taken a liking to her. ]

[overlordofice]

I am faring well. This place is mere child's play to an Overlord like me. [ He'd never say it out loud, but he's happy that someone he's familiar with is here too. Someone more amicable, no less! It's comforting. ]

And yourself?

[moderating]

I am really happy to see you here, even if I feel a bit torn about it.

[ Her eyes are gentle and she looks up at him with a pleasant look. ]

Can we take turns, I want you to have fun too. They are playing games, why don't you go with them?
