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))

[ Nanami looks up at him then back at the screen. Angel was sleeping close by, she mustve fell asleep watching her. She is cuddled with Stephanie a bit farther away but well. Nanami just forgot that sleep is a thing. ]

Hajime-kun doesn't control when I go to bed?

[ She says that very seriously, as if how dare you. ]

The same could be said about you, what are you doing up late? Are you going to do something?

BC YOU SAY SUMN CURSED STOPPPPPP komaedas being a good boy as u know. Hopesexual

[commences]

( looking around nanami to get an idea of who she's sleeping with checks out. it almost reminds him of how saionji would be with koizumi, well in the simulation that is. )

No, he doesn't. ( it's an exasperated sigh, telling that he doesn't want to argue about this, but also he can't can't she said that. after, he shakes his head, smiling softly like usual. ) I'm only returning the favor, Nanami-san. ( it's the accusation for him that he stares at her, and then he looks away. )

I can't sleep? ( he inhales, wondering if that answwr will satiate her curiosity. it's probably a bad habit to answer a question with a question. )

SDNFKS LFMAO so happy 4him trying his hardest2 make the most of his life maybe he need 2 relax tho

[moderating]

Me either.

[ She admits, not realizing that she mustve sounded defensive before if he answered like that. She reaches for a controller and offers it to him. ]

Do you wanna play?

stop you can't stop a known killer he will die if he don't kill

[commences]

( he'll sit properly next to her, and nod right after. it's late, no one will know, no one will see, but it's been awhile since he's done such a thing. )

What are we playing?

me voice: I can fix him

[moderating]

Ape escape!

[ Pretty sure the older game isn't co-op but fuck it, this was my favorite game growing up. ]

We have to catch the monkeys and bring them back home. Make sure you don't alarm them, they have all different variables. The ones with the glasses are the cool apes, they tend to have tricks up their sleeves. Also the ones who swim you cant get yet, we can just collect the ones with the yellow hats and red lights on their head. Just make sure you dont get caught.

you know he cant be fixed we all spoke abou this

[commences]

( the way you ain't say pikmin, but okay, ape escape it is. )

Could I even play a game like that against you, I'll be horrible as well as a waste of time.

( well, if you count his luck, he could be amazing, but who says that luck will work in a way against the ultimate gamer? he might as well count his blessing and be satisfied with how everything is here now. he does hold out his hands, waiting for the device, it may not have co-op, but that doesn't mean she can't watch komaeda play and fail (almost) horribly. )

U KNOW IN MY HEAD WHERE MY FANTASiES ARE HE CAN BE A LITTLE FIXED OK JUST WANT THE HOMIE HAPPY

[moderating]

[ PIKMIN ISNT A PS1 GAME?? HELLO ???? I DO MY YOGEN LORE THEY DONT HAVE A GAMECUBE WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH ILL REGAIN ONE. ]

Playing games with you is fun.

[ THE MONKEYS ARE CRAZY!! THEY GANGANG SLIP ON THE BANANAS FREAK!! Its ok the music isnt on cause the music kinda dope to be honest. No sound bc ppl are sleeping Nanami aint that mean, but she watches happily spacing out. She wont talk until hes done. However when the round is over if HE SOME HOW MANAGES OR just dies, Nanami looks over asking him ]

Did you have fun today?

STOPPPPPPPPPPPP NOT YOUR FIX IT FIC WHEN YOU SEE ROKKUN

[commences]

( PIKMIN WAS GAMECUBE? i'm so sad, ps1 flop, where's spyro. )

Let's see...

( looks like komaeda will have to miss out on the music, instead nanami can watch him fiddle with the control as he players in a carefree manner — always managing by a second to capture one of the monkeys before they're out of his sight, using his sword to slice at one of the frogs and narrowly escape an explosion. when he's meant to jump onto the platforms, there's a bit of time taken between since turning the camera is awful, and understanding when to jump is the worst. he stays on top while collecting the currency or doritos, if you will, and the camera clips into the cliff so that he can see through it.

into the cavern he goes to get the last monkey who is riding a dinosaur, bro, the music slap as FUCK in here. if only komaeda could hear it, but he's too bus running back and forth between the rocks see what will happen if the dinosaur is close by. to see it collide into the bricks doesn't make much sense to him yet, and he even gets hit along the way.

and then it's game over! did he lose on purpose, or is he just that bad, or maybe his luck just ran out. )

Looks like my luck is no good... ( with sheepish laugher, he looks at nanami while thinking on her question. ) Me? What about you?

WTF NO I MEANT KOMAEDA BUT ID FIX ROKKUN TOO ID FIX THEM ALL BITCH IM CRAZY FUCKING INSANE

[moderating]

[ Spyro is with Noah. ]

?

[ NOT YOU VIBING TO THE MUSIC TOO IM CRYING. The fuck you switching the topic for you messed up her brain. She is trying to understand the reason for the topic switch and the lack of answer. Giving him a peculiar empty look, spacing out for a moment before answering after. ]

I had a lot of fun, I made more friends. I really like everyone here, don't you?

oh STOP KOMAEDA DOESNT NEED TO BE FIXED IM TEARING UP STOP crazy cant fix crazy you knw this

[commences]

( ? the way you let spyro go free when he was the ps1 game of the year? of the century. )

They all have a goal towards a specific hope, I'm glad it's something I can witness.

( is that an answer? probably not the best one, but you know how he is about hope, and how much he enjoys it. will this get a pass by nanami standards or is she going to puff up her cheeks not fooled by his tricks. )

Today felt like the usual for me. ( he got thrown out, tied up, among some other things. a very komaeda day. )

HE AINT THAT CRAZY OK HE GOT THE HAERT JUST NOT THE RIGHT UH.... UH UH UH UH Tools

[moderating]

[ NOAH IS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE??? LET HIM PLAY THE DRAGONGAME?? ]

Youre right, what about having fun did you [ collect hope fragments bitch. ] have fun? [ Repeats herself. ]

you know who the tool is and he aint here

[commences]

( but i want it? bro... enter the dragonfly... )

Ah, I've had too much on my mind, Nanami-san. ( so no, he didn't collect one fucking fragment!! )

Trash like me couldn't compare to the fun everyone had here, but I had something... of that effect.

I MEANT TO SAY HIS HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE THATS ALL MY WORDS MY BRAIn

[moderating]

[ Let him play it first wtf. ]

Thats good Nagito-kun... [ Nanami's eyes light up a bit as she cants her head to the side. Still quizzical about what he said. ]

What is on your mind?

FUCK I FORGOT TO RESPOND BACK HELP not my brain buffering

[commences]

( no. get me spyro, naow. )

I'm wondering about the hope of certain people, and whether it's crippling into despair.

( he turns to look at her, because she'd understand. ) That should be eliminated at all costs, right?

[moderating]

[ No you have to wait. ]

?

[ Do you think that.
She stares at him hard.
Eyes peering deep inside of him.
Looking at what he means to say about it.
As if hes looking to her to relate on something.
Nanami does not give it to him.
As alien as he may feel looking into her eyes, she feels looking into his. ]

I don't think you have the right to decide for others do you?

[ That was the statement and answer she gave Hinata, the meaning is no different. The answer is the same. She gives it to Komaeda this time. ]

[commences]

Nanami-san?

( this is despair we're talking about, we cultivate hope, not whatever that is. alright, you sit there and let despair fester, komaeda will be making sure there is none of that. he may be an ex ultimate despair but listen. )

...

( maybe they are still different, and this is why he's insane. )

I can help them if they use me properly, but some have no idea how. ( he pauses, thinking. ) I was even told I wasn't sane, but I'm completely normal!

[moderating]

People need to overcome their despair on their own. Like when you play a one player game and there is no room for co-op. You know, how you were playing Ape Escape.

[ Yes bitch ape escape. ]

But you are trying to play a 1 player game as co-op, when its all one player -

[ 'I just think you should stop.' She cant say that. Those rules from before , it went against everything that she was and everything that made her as an entire being. To even say as much. The whole premise of her existence were to lead, and allow everyone on the island to make their own decisions. She just needed to observe. Taking actions against other peoples decisions was something she could not do, and her own voice seemed to suddenly cut short as she spoke. As if indictive of that. She reaches for the controller. ]

[commences]

It's not a game, Nanami-san.

( he's not going to understand from game terms, because he takes this too seriously to be some sort of fantasy. instead, he hands over the controller, no longer willing to argue about it. she's always played on a mode he's never understood, but that's him valuing as her as hope more importantly, and though she has a point, he doesn't see it. old habits die hard, so komaeda keeps dying. )

I appreciate you letting me play, I'm sorry for bothering you so late in the night. ( it's not midnight, but it's late enough. )

[moderating]

Mm.

[ Shes the one who feels hurt and not understood as well. When Hinata gripes at her and often gets angry at her, shes use to Komaeda filling in for when he is lost by her bewildering gestures. Or weird statements. It's fine, the two of them sitting here with their feelings, though she tried in an effort to compose her words in a way that he can understand. Discern. Look and read between the lines, but its that he didn't want to look. And that. She suffers alone - as always. Not even Usami is here to confined in her with. No SHSL housekeeper-sensei to try to work this problem with. Everything in her head she wasnt allowed to speak about stayed, and she felt the feeling of wanting to cry. Could not discern it, and ignored it instead. This is probably why she ends up making the Ai club or something.

Anyway ask what you came for hoe. Shell end up giving it to you 9/10 probably. ]

[commences]

( listen, i hate you're telling him to hurry the hell up and get out, which he will! you know, maybe he was waiting his turn for spyro. which doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon, so... he could watch her play, but then the controller reminds him of something. he contemplates it for a moment, wondering if he should go through with it. )

Nanami-san, may I borrow your PDA?

( i'm tearing up. )

[moderating]

[ Nanami is upset at him youre not getting your turn on the xbox bitch. I mean ps1 same thing, she's fucking with the monkeys. Makes a face, pauses it and reaches in her pocket. Pulling it out she looks over to him with another long hard look. ]

I know youre doing this because you are going to figure something out, so I trust you.

[ Nanami says placing it in his hands. ]

I believe in you.

[ She keeps it there, try #2 is coming. Shes a dumbass, listen shes trying because he wont - well more like no one else will. She knows that feeling, having someone not understand you and give up as if to say youre not good enough. ]

Wanna make a promise?

[commences]

( ? bro. how can you hog spyro...

with the pda in his hand, and one that he previously took from someone during this party — sorry amami, you'll be okay for the time being :) — komaeda pockets it as well. he's not trying to be shady or suspicious, but he just wants to learn something, you never know what it may unlock.

why is everyone trying to make a promise with him, hinata tried, and he managed to dodge that you know! not nanami after him now, which the corner of his mouth twitch up into a smile. )

What's wrong Nanami-san? What would you want me to promise?

[moderating]

[ BRO NOAH HAS SPYRO BRO?!?!?!? LET THE LITTLE MANS PLAY SOME GAMES.

Nanami wants to say, 'let me help you.' But you know shes an observer and not allowed to do that, so she says: ]

Don't do anything alone.

[ Hopefully that is good enough(its not probably), and goes back to play her games. ]

[commences]

( HE HAS TO LET. IT GO!!! )

...

( don't do anything alone? hmmm... he stares at her, and he thinks about it. )

I'll see what I can do, as you know... not many people like to be around me.

[moderating]

I like you. [ ROUND TWO, why the fuck is that the icon god damn it. I need to stop redoing my icons. Anyway she says that kinda plainly and wait - oh wait. She has a brain thought. Puts the controller down in the middle of a game - and thinks about Hinata. ]

Hajime-kun likes you.

[ Goes back to playing. ]
