THERE AINT NO PARTY LIKE A BLANKET FORT SLUMBER PARTY

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))

Yeah, I don't really have interest in losing a fingernail.

So far it's kind of typical, but... there's a kingdom under siege in the first chapter, [leans on her a little more,] but the coolest part is that the knights in this kingdom ride dragons into battle. Anyway, the princess of the kingdom is the main character, and the king and queen keep telling her that she can't fight in a war. That's when the kingdom comes under siege and she runs out of the castle to go fight with the knights.

Oh, and she "borrows" one of the dragon mounts from the royal menagerie to boot.

[He's... so passionate about books.]

That sounds so cool!!!

( maybe she'll read it herself sometime!! or maybe... oh, no, that'd probably embarrass noah. )

I think more princesses should steal dragons to save their kingdoms.

[Uh oh he's smiling now... the Rare Smile. If Nene wants to read this book one day and talk about it with him he'll be so thrilled.]

M...me too. The dragon and the princess are becoming friends as of the chapter I left off on. Look, [he flips to a page in between chapters and points at a drawing of an armoured dragon,] the author drew this, I think.

( ah- cute??? leaning over, nene oohs and aahs appropriately. )

They're a good artist too! That's the best!

[These two are useless and they're going to be useless for the next 234837 years.]

Y...yeah. I wish I could draw this well. When I think of dragons, though, I usually think of, ah... one of the El Masters back home. He's a dragon. He doesn't look like this though, he's more humanoid. But he has horns.

[Noah pantomimes horns over his head with his hands, fists curled and index fingers sticking straight up in the air.]

I like your drawings too. I don't think I've seen any dragons back home...

( she'll have to ask hanako-kun if they're real! )

Maybe he can shapeshift! That shows up in stories a lot!
silentabyss: (004)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-05-23 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe? I wonder if he gets really big. He's, uh... [Blasphemy against the master of the Water El incoming,] He's kind of short.

[That's rich coming from Noah fucking Ebalon of all people.]

And old, or so I was told.

[He's in really high spirits now!]

Most dragons are. ( sage nod... nene please, you haven't even met any how do you know how old they usually are. )
silentabyss: (002)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-05-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, Noah only knows one!]

...yeah. Um... do you think baby dragons are really tiny? Like... like chicken-sized? Or do you think they hatch bigger?

[...did Master Denif hatch? Hey Clamor this is important— Noah has a question for later—]

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2021-05-23 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm... I think it depends on the size of their type! 'Cause in stories, there's lots of different ones with different sizes and types, you know?
silentabyss: (054)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-05-23 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
O-oh, yeah! Uh...

[Noah grabs his sketchbook and very quickly sketches the basic shape of an average quadrupedal dragon, the same kind that is in the author's drawing from earlier.]

What about this kind?
mermaidcursed: (083)

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2021-05-26 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummmmmmmm...

( hmmmmm. HMMMMM... well. bird eggs tended to be around the size of their heads, right? )

Maybe... a bit bigger than it's head? What do you think?
silentabyss: (002)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-05-26 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Noah acts like he's thinking really, really hard about that one, for dramatic effect of course.]

...yeah, maybe. So a baby dragon could ride around on its mom's head?

[Actually, that's kind of adorable to think about, on second thought.]

I don't even know how many dragons hatch in a brood or whatever they call it. Are there hundreds or thousands like spiders, or is it only a few? Are they like kittens?

[This is OBVIOUSLY important lore okay.]

( do the dragons have horns or spiky heads? that doesn't seem like it'd be fun to lay on regardless of scales. but then there's another question--

looks like she's getting her phd in bullshitting things about dragons tonight! )


Wellllll... in most stories it's more like a litter of kittens. I think hundreds of eggs would be a lot... especially since dragons are usually really rare, right?
