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. )

[ STOP THEY RECHARGE WITH NORMAL SUNLIGHT

Okay, holding in place as best they can. Feet shoulder width apart. ]

Keigo Arata.

How does one get "Kamo-kun" out of Keigo Arata?

( he's going to slide, maybe hope a cute rock falls out, push push... he stops, takes a breath, pushes again. )

[ npc-kun stares at him, not helping, because Komaeda said to hold the cart and on god they're going to do this one job. ]

It's a nickname. Only Tarou-nii is allowed to use it now.

What's your real name?

( push... wheeze... push... wheeze... ngggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhh yuff! plop, there it is on the cart... an inch on. UGH! )

Why don't you believe me?

[ They crouch down and take the doorstop from the doorway and wedges it under one wheel to keep it from moving, grabbing a rock from their box that's flat and angled enough to wedge under the other wheel too. Cart in place, they leave to the back room, returning with a thick plank of wood they may or may not have been planning to practice butterflies on, and one of the canned foods Komaeda brought a while ago. One end of the plank gets set on the opposite side of the machine the cart is on. ]

Lift so I can get the lever underneath.

...I want to say a list of names, and tell me if any of them are familiar after we get your machine.

( last time komaeda said something, rokkun had a mental breakdown, and then started yelling at him about how no one was supposed to know. )

Hm? Alright. ( he's going to lift the it as best as he can so that the other can do what he has to, please, komaeda's using his organic arm more than his mechanical hand so that npc-kun doesn't take all day... c: little rushes. ) Are you able to slip it under?

[ Does Komaeda want npc-kun to have a mental breakdown when they've got their arms full of rocks

...

Silent, npc-kun slides the plank under, at an angle so they can have the can on its side underneath as close to the machine as possible. ]

Okay, let go now. Hold the fulcrum in place.

[ The can. While npc-kun goes to the other end of the plank and thinks about how best to apply force and decides the way to do it is to stand on the end, like a see saw, this should lift the machine up enough under the ground for Komaeda to pull the cart underneath it.

There was a much much simpler way to do this that I thought of halfway through the last tag but I've already written a sentence and wasn't about to delete and start over so here we are. ]

( after rokkun's ass? HELL NO. what is wrong with them, sighs...

he lets go once requested, and he goes to hold onto the fulcrum so that nothing bad happens — hopefully this wood doesn't give him a splinter and he bleeds or something. )

I got it, are you going to be my savior? You can do it, push, push... fight, win!

( he's waiting. )

Yeah! I'm going to be your hero! So help me out and move the cart under once I get it high enough!

[ Which maybe they should have switched places with Komaeda seeing as he's taller and weighs more but this is the position they're in now: their weight's not going to be enough, but physics says that if they jump high and fall back down, the potential energy should be enough to lift up the machine just the one time for Komaeda to get the cart under before the plank snaps, maybe, and they both get splintered ]

( he'll be ready with the cart, watching the other attentively for when they'll proceed to move — they only have one — thought there was a butterfly on it, and was about to redirect komaeda's attention... but he's focused, yeah. )

On 3 would probably be better? 1... 2...

( why isn't he giving npc-kun time to get them ready? well... well... )

3!!

[ jumps on 3

It'll turn out okay ]

( he doesn't remember what he's supposed to do because i forgot, so he's going to let the cart go so it rolls...

..in place.

WAS THAT THE RIGHT ANSWER OOOH!! DEMENTIA GOT ME!!! LIVING ON A PRAYER!! )

[ The machine drops down onto the cart just as it rolls into place and the board snaps, sending npc-kun pitching forward and this close to losing their front teeth to the metal bars but they're able to catch themselves in time.

... ]

We did it!!

[ Use that \o/ icon again ]

( arms go up when they manage this great feat! )

We really did it! You're amazing, P-kun!

( he holds them up for as long as he can, before dropping them back down to give applause. )

You soooo strong, I'll have to tell everyone. ( he pulls the cart with the machine on it, seeing as it doesn't wobble. )

[ \o/!! ]

Yeah! Tell everybody how great I am! I'm awesome! The best!

[ Is there space on the cart for them to climb back on, can Komaeda's arms handle any more of this ]

[ \o/!! npc-kun needs one for them, where's the fc that's close to them that we can steal. )

You did it, all thanks to you! Ahaha, now whether I mean it or not will be up to them... so you'll have to brag instead.

( there's space, but god... this will be hard mode. )

[ How I went back to their manga and found this panel ]

They'll believe you because they believe in me! Now let's go back so people can buy rocks!

[ Do your best, Komaeda. ]

( I GASPED WHEN I SAW ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. )

Let's do it! One two, one two...

( alright, one more hands in the air, and he's pushing at the cart from behind which is slower than before — the weight of both the machine and the shopkeeper does a number, literally. he does manage to get them out the door, and he reaches back, closing it behind them. )

Who are you going to rob first?

[ serendipity ;u; ]

Nene! Subaru says she's the easiest target, by far!

[ They're going to wring everybody's wallets dry, they're so excited ]

( the only icons they communicate with. )

Ah... she does have a weak disposition, she's too kind for her own good...

( the way he would have suggest ishimaru if he wasn't an ultimate. )

Tsukimi-kun is also a good one to attack.

( hehehEHEHEHEHE )

That's what he said too!

[ That she's kind and likes hugs and those sorts of people are the easiest to swindle ]

You have to point Tsukimi out to me; I haven't met everybody yet.

Ah, Akehoshi-kun doesn't mince words, now does he?

( push, push, push... but he's bullying women, komaeda will reprimand that man soon. )

He's pretty useless, but if you call his bluffs, he's entertaining to play with. You can win a lot from him...

[ OKAY so, I originally thought Komaeda was saying Subaru is useless and npc-kun was going to shove him to the ground but then context caught up and so he's safe. for now. ]

No problem! I'm great at calling bluffs! I'm the master of bluffs!

( DO NOT!! BETRAY HIM!!! )

Would that admit that you're a liar too?

[ ... ]

Come on. We need to hurry up before everybody falls asleep.
