yogen | i don't want to survive, i want to live

Who: Yes
What: Movie Night + Slumber Party
When: 9/11, Saturday Evening
Where: Dorm Common Room
Warnings: A ridiculous amount of Fluff, probably

( it starts out small. a need for comfort food, and a need for something heartfelt but silly and fun, something genuine and kind. ... and, well, she did find a weird. bootleg vhs set of her favorite movie series, hamster space wars. but the dorm is only barely furnished- and it's not like they can just go out and buy a tv or anything. honestly she completely doubts there's even anything beyond the woods. but she remembers a teacher playing the thing and other stuff in the first month of all of this.

it's so long ago...

but there's a television and a vhs player in the school. and nene... nene's tired and sad and is currently out of fucks to give, so at some point in the day, after everyone else has left, nene has returned to the school and, uh. "borrowed" both things. it's fine. they just have to get it back in by sunday evening. don't worry about it. like, it's definitely heavy but she's a tough cookie who tills soil and everything, and also sara and noah both witnessed everything and are accomplices by default, so they had to help carry things too.

(they were completely happy to help on both accounts, she asked very nicely.)

so the "borrowed" television is set up across from one of the larger couches, and the vhs on top of it. she had cookies in the oven, donuts and hot chocolate made and popcorn popped. the common room paintings are covered with sheets of cloth. all that was left was something cozy- but at this point, nene's made so many little cushions and blankets and even cozy pjs that that's super easy. all that was left was letting anyone who wanted to come know too. so at some point in the halls, nene walks down calling out: )

Cartoons in the common room! Bring blankets and stuff!

( and, so everyone knows what their characters are getting into: hamster space wars is a movie series about different factions of hamsters that have been trying for cross planetary peace for ages now, with a villainous faction having sabotaged the final negotiations so they can control the war from the shadows to make the most money and also get the most seeds (Very Decadent). the first movie follows the main hamster and his little group trying to escape the villains after having witnessed the sabotage, and are trying to avoid assassination and end the war for good. the sequels follow allied factions, with hamster galactic wars being the Thrilling Conclusion.

it's heartfelt. it's silly. it's very cute. nene loves it. )

[leaning upside down off her beanbag like a lil bat.]

Ummmmm. Truth or dare?

[ They're still trying to think of a cute nickname for her...one day. ]

Truth! [because she can do that and also not leave her chair. lazy day today.]

Okaaaay.

[ Give them a second, because the first ten question they thought of were all really violent and weird, but they are learning that might not be okay What type of question would be normal, they can be normal. ]

Is this movie good, or bad?

Art's really subjective. [which is something she's heard but doesn't 100% understand.] I think it's pretty good. It has hamsters, and it's in space. What more could you want?

Okay! Truth or dare?

I don't know? I've never seen a movie before.

[ Hamsters are cute though, so this is a favorable point for movies. Crona may be discovering a second favorite animal. ]

Truth? [ They're just copying her. ]

[thinks...]

What's something you really like about yourself?

No fair! My question was way easier?

[ Why would you ask them something like that...Crona doesn't like anything about themselves. ]

I like that I'm someone's friend...I guess? I'm good enough to do that.

You're a really good friend! You're very considerate, and you're always trying to do nice things for people. You couldn't ask for a better friend than somebody like that.

[shrugs] Nobody ever said Truth or Dare was an easy game. Truth, by the way.

Grrr...That's really nice! But it's still something I can't deal with. If you're asking me hard questions, then I'll do a hard one next!

[ Thinking...thinking. ]

If you could make up and get along with somebody you hate lots and lots, would you?

I only hate one person in the whole world, so it's actually a pretty specific question.

[thinks...]

For selfish reasons, I'd say he could go choke on a pretzel. But... [frowns] No, I couldn't. Not unless making up and getting along means he becomes the kind of person who doesn't treat people the way he does. That's the only way it could happen.

Well, you're nice, so I guess it must mean he's pretty bad...I'm not good at hating anyone either, so I can't help you.

[ They're a little curious who it is, but if Steph wanted to say, she'd tell them. ]

Can you dare me next?

Hm, a dare...

[brightens] There's too much junk food in this room. Go get whatever fruit you can find in the kitchen, put it in a bowl, and bring it here.

( oh cute... elizabeth will kneel down to her, hello. )

Dare or dare?

[...]

Are there two different dares? Or is it the same dare, but twice?

Two different ones, one worse than the other.

Oh.

[pause]

I want the worst one.

( oh boy. )

You're such a brave little girl... My guest also had someone your age accompanying him on his journey, so I'm not all that surprised. ( her worst one... let's see. ) I dare you... to face your greatest fear.

[long pause]

I don't think I could die alone on demand?

( an equally long pause. )

Yes, I suppose that would be very difficult... ( hm... ) Very well. Please retrieve the cinnamon from the dormitory kitchens and take a shot of it.

There's people in the kitchen right now, I think, so it technically wouldn't be dying alone.

[she knows the dangers of cinnamon she's baked with a very foolish six year old.]

( you gotta do the cooking by the book... )

Hm... Then I'll give you an equally bad, but far more feasible dare, to complete. Does that sound alright by you?

[nods, determined!]

( SUCH A BRAVE GIRL...!!! )

Very well. Your new dare... ( hmmm... dares that are appropriate for children but are extremely daunting... ) Please pick a fight with the person you find the scariest here.

Hm...

[add? no, he's shrimpy. dito? no, similar reasons. komaeda? that's more of a cerebral thing.]

Well, it'd probably be that big, angry guy [gestures at akira's... everything] but I have a feeling you wouldn't really want me to get literally punched in the face. Because I have this other feeling that the only thing that keeps him from doing that is social norms, and even a really flimsy excuse could end that.

[sighs] I'm being a very difficult darer. I'm sorry.
