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))

[He had to concede on that, but as the hand reaches out, he drops the teasing. He starts with his left, moving forward, a right foot followed, then left and he steps to the right with the right foot, his left hand moving behind. In the first five steps - three if he's familiar - it's clear that it's start of a tango and Sherlock tends to keep the leading role]

[A tango...It isn't as if he doesn't know how to dance it, but there's something in him that wonders at the choice.

...And, of course, he's leading. Moriarty considers fighting against it, but...ultimately, he follows, dancing right in tune with his 'partner', following along to his whims.

He's still there, of course. But - as always, it is like he is meant to be Sherlock's shadow.]

[His brows knitted as he met no resistance, even as he dances unfalteringly - surprised that his Nemesis didn't try to take control of the dance, eyes flickering over]

[For his part, he's not looking at Holmes - but when the eyes flick over, his eyes meet the other man's, just for a brief moment.

And then he looks away, and the dance continues. Stepping in time, no resistance, the seemingly perfect second to a lead.

Less a dance about two people, and almost like a dance being done alone, a lead dancing with the empty air.]

[It's certainly one of the better dances he had, the smoothness was unmatched, but something about it just made his skin crawled, it's just too good and too matched, as if the other man didn't exist.

Where one would start to spin or dip the follower, he instead pulls back, abruptly ending it.]

Well - I think that does fulfill the command.

[a pause]

eh, King?
hatesdeerstalkers: (really?)

Eh -

[He makes a small noise as Holmes pulls away - apparently having gotten a little lost in the dance for just a moment, blinking.

But it's only a second before he snaps back to how he normally is, clearing his throat and looking sulky once more.]


Sigh....yes, I suppose it does. Your King declares himself satisfied for the moment.

You're not bad.

[Then the quiet falls, thick enough to cut with a knife]
