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. )

We don't want that...Komeada-san, we're all friends right? Lets get along...

[ This is the best thing thats happened to her all month. She's looming. If you need Sara to lift you for more height npc-kun just ask. ]

( not... the PENALTY which he's looking at both of them come close, their voices loud... and it actually hurts his head, this is one reason he didn't want to be here...

...

it's such a pain.

showing discomfort will only make them work harder, he thinks, and so he sits on his hands and knees... looking towards npc-kun... looking towards sara.

...

... )

Mm, we can all get along, I understand.

( he's booking it underneath sara's legs, like a cat that's ready to go. he's doing his best to get to his feet so that he can run to the other side of the room...

leave him alone! )

[ no!! if he's crouched, npc-kun's going to leap onto his back with the advantage of the extra height Sara provides and latches on tight ]

So you've chosen penalty!!

[ Sara, you dogpile too ]

[ Of course a girl like Sara is naturally too dignified to every sink to such lows and will of course...who am I kidding. She helps throw npc-kun onto Komeada's back like they're a little cannonball and then turns around to step on the back of his jacket, sinking to her own knees so she can grab his legs. ]

How dare you go under a girls skirt. [ Let her judo flip you. ] We just wanted to play a game as friends...but now we have no choice but to use the penalty!

[ You know, for math. ]

( she can judo flip him if she manages to get npc-kun off just to throw him around, it'll be fine, not for his back, but it's not like he has any choice when they're both sitting on him. he reaches out, the room blurry, and he closes his eyes as he tries to adjust to the weight on him.

...

it's hard to breathe, oh lily may... why did you leave him when he needed you most. )

Ahaha... you got me... ( wish they didn't. ) You're both pretty heavy... w- will you get up...

( cough, cough... )

[ Settles down on Komaeda's back. I know from Lily that this is more bearable than all the weight condensed into four paws ]

Not until you prove to us that every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere.

What did you just say? [ She's...heavy? She's going to whack the back of his shoe. ]

Try again! It's light! I'm light!

[ Oh yeah also answer that math problem at some point ig. ]

Ow... ow...

( back preoccupied, shoed foot hit, what is going on!

besides, it's not so bad, he's smiling while getting through this abuse he's suffering from. )

Oh... Chidouin-san is close to the answer...!

( ... connect the dots npc-kun, because komaeda's not going to!!! he'll try to... crawl... with them attached...

he doesn't even move from his spot probably. )

[ light............... ]

3-spheres.

[ Was the half of the question Sara was responsible for, but the dots are still scattered. ]

[ Whacks him again. ]

I won't stand for such a haphazard hint! [ She leans around from behind his legs to glare at him face to face. ] We're all being serious here! If you don't say what you're thinking, we won't get closer to the truth! [ Of math. ]

3-spheres are a fourth dimensional representation of a sphere. That has nothing to do with light. Speak! [ She's jabbing a finger in his face now. ] More clearly! Please!

...Hit me again! To jog my memory... I've seen to forgotten.

( me looking up to the lord, begging god to save me from this, but god closes his clouds, and i'm left with the devil. every time he's hit? it ... motivates him to be worse, smiling to himself with his head pressed to the ground as they take their... curiosity out on him.

why is math great!??!?!?

he squirms, rocking npc-kun side to side... )

Use your shoe... and hit me at the back of the head, then maybe my brain will work a little better.

( he wants to be hit, not poked, so he tries to bite her finger... help. )

[ Sara is doing a better job of getting the answer from Komaeda, npc-kun thinks, so when they're rocked, they go ahead and roll themselves over to hug Komaeda's front instead of his back, so Sara has a clear shot at the back of Komaeda's head without them getting in the way. ]

[ I'm also Crying....thank you for the assist npc-kun...I guess we'll do what we must.]

Ugh... you're so weird. [ But whatever, if this is what he wants. Who is Sara to deny him. She scoots further up with a sigh, pulling off a shoe. She's got a clean shot all lined up, enough that she can pull her hand back and bring it down to-

-tap him lightly on the head with her shoe. ]

We promised we'd behave, Komeada-san. Tenshu-kun is watching, so I'll hit you another time. [ She does tap the shoe on his head again, digging the toe of the shoe into his hair. Be! Normal! ]

Now, come on. There's still time to turn this around! If you pick truth and give us a hint, you can ask us something next.

( it's the baby hit that hurts the most...

why...

hurt him.

he clears his throat as npc-kun is latched to him, rolling onto his back so that npc-kun is settled on top, and... he's going to lay the back of his head on sara's lap. :) floor buddies! )

Fine, fine... we're playing truth or dare? So you want the truth about... the manifolds?

( he looks npc-kun in their eyes, then looks up into sara's eyes. )

Confirm on both ends...

[ Ohhhh yes, best of both worlds, they getting to use somebody as a pillow and getting the answer to a lot of $$$ ]

Yes! We want the proof that every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere!

[ They've got this phrase memorized by now, even if they don't understand every other word ]

Yes. We want the proof that every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere.

[ She rolls her eyes when Komeada puts her head in her lap but doesn't shove him off, instead leaning over to flick some hair out of his face. Seems like he'd calmed down...she's going to put the shoe away. ]

The basic idea of Hamilton's program can be briefly described as follows. For any given compact three-manifold, one endows it with an arbitrary ( and in a very soft, small voice: ) but can be suitably normalized by scaling initial Riemannian metric on the manifold and then studies the behavior of the solution to the Ricci flow...

( from what he remembers, it all starts with the ricci flow, that's how perelman became his breakdown of the manifolds to answer the award winning question, but... that doesn't answer anything, but gives them an idea of where to start. )

If one can prove there are only a finite number of surgeries during any finite time interval, and if one understands how the Ricci flow with surgery behaves over a long time, then they would recognize the topological structure of the initial manifold. That said, does this open an avenue for you two to come to your own conjectures that'll help you full understand the question posed?

( his hand on npc-kun's back, and he follows the same brushing motions as sara does to his his hair. )

Nice try, but we want the proof down on paper.

[ Komaeda lost them at Hamilton. Please write this down so they can digest it over the next several decades. ]

[ Ok so Hamilton program, Ricci flow, Riemannian metric, and surgeries over a time interval. If she can just look up these, she can probably background reference Komeada's hint enough to get a slight idea of what he's getting at? So the basic premise of the problem is just that they need to calculate the intial surface area, right...and then move on from there...

She's so lost in thought, she's tapping Komeada's forehead as she tries to think until npc-kun goes first. ]

Oh, huh? Yeah the full proof would also be good...but I'd also like a itemized list of defined terms. You haven't even explained what surgeries is supposed to refer to.

Nope, you told me to give you the proof, not to write it on paper... but listen to this P-kun, Chidouin-san is embracing the information I'm giving her.

( so he believes they can do it too, and he guesses he has to explain the surgeries. )

Hamilton initiated such a surgery procedure for the Ricci flow on four-manifolds with positive isotropic curvature and presented a concrete method for performing the geometric surgery, so I hope that's applicable to your question.

...Truth or Dare, both of you, answer together.

[ Oh it was my turn, I think I just got mad at why is there surgery in a math problem and forgot

...tugs Sara's sleeve ]

Truth.

[ It's the safest answer because you can always lie ]

Dare.

[ She'd rather do any weird thing Komeada asks then actually be truthful. There's plenty of things she'd rather not be truthful about.

Of course it doesn't occur to her she could actually lie. But npc-kun tugs on her sleeve, and she sighs. Well..he said they had to pick together. Maybe she can think up an evasive answer. ]

Er. I mean, I guess its truth then.

It's fine, I can cater to you both —

( claps his hands together as he looks towards them both. )

P-kun, for you... Have you ever said something you regret about someone in this room?

( and then he looks up towards sara, nodding. )

I dare you to give a personalized insult to everyone here.

Huh? Yeah.

[ Oh their truth was an easy one, thank you.

Come on, Sara. Do your dare so we can corner Komaeda next turn. ]
