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

[mermaidcursed]

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. )

i'll buy someone 200 rolls of rock gacha if you can answer these questions:

01. make this equation true by using one line, and you can't use a line to say that it doesn't equal:
EQUATION: 5+5+5+5=555

02. a girl is at her mother's funeral. she met a guy at the funeral that she didn't know, and they hit it off. she was busy receiving condolences from the guests, so she wasn't able to get his phone number before he left. following the funeral, she tried hard to track him down, but no one knew who he was or how to contact him. to add to her troubles... a few days later, her sister was found dead. the police suspect it to be a murder, but the question is:

who did it, and why did they do it?

[sisters]

for the first one, how can we use the line?
do we have to add it, can we take them away?

[commences]

amami-kun, are you interested? i can give you a hint...
you add the line!

( yes his hint was answering the question. )

[sisters]

to be honest i think rika-chan would kill me if i ended up with that many rocks
it's a pretty tough question too, but i'll bet saihara-kun would get the second one easy

[commences]

aren't you able to give them away just for the night? you can give the answer to someone else if you're unsure.
...saihara-kun deserves better than my poor choice in questions, it'd be child's play to him!

[sisters]

need to find someone who wants them first
akehoshi-kun seems to like them though, maybe him?
and it's fine, i'm sure he'd find it fun figuring this out

[commences]

Amami-kun, have you decided on your answer?

( no more subaru, he can buy his own rocks!! )

[contrarily]

this is the dumbest prize ever no wonder nobody wants to solve any of this

[commences]

now, now, kawaii-san... there's something special about this, but i can't give it away yet.
maybe you should figure it out, it could be used to your advantage!

[contrarily]

why would i need 200 rocks
ur cracked tf out

[commences]

is there all there is to it? just rocks.
it'll be your loss, kawaii-san...

[contrarily]

rocks are rocks

[commences]

money is money

( he said he'd buy the equivalent of 200 rocks via rock gacha, but does it strictly have to go to rocks? it's money, not like he cares... just throwing a word problem in there. )

i'll omit you though, don't worry, kawaii-san! i understand.

[ Oh, he can handle math puzzles like this- they're his forte. He sits there for a few moments before having a bit of a Eureka moment. ]

Oh, I've got the first one!

You draw a diagonal line along the top of the first plus sign to make it a four. So:

5+5+5+5 = 555
becomes
545+5+5 = 555
545 + 10 = 555

That right?

[commences]

you actually figured it out! such a small act can affect it in such a big way, so we should be mindful of the things we do.

it must have been very simple to you, though, ah... i really am pathetic at thinking of good equations!

where are you ishigami-kun, i just need your pda!

[kingofscience]

It was a pretty good puzzle, don't worry! I just have a big interest in math, is all.

Why would you need...

[ He pauses for a moment, backreads, and then realizes. ]

...Oh, I see. No need for you to go out of your way to use my PDA for me- I can buy my own rocks if I want. And not so many, for that measure.

[commences]

so you ruined the game... an won't even play by the rules...

( that's all he's getting out of this, actually... senku why. )

[kingofscience]

Now, now, is it really not playing by the rules if the rules themselves are so open-ended and flimsy? If anything, I think it's a point in my favor for not getting scammed.

[ Sorry Komaeda, but he feels no remorse. ]

[silentabyss]

how the fuck

[commences]

there's one question left, would you like to join?

[silentabyss]

sure

well the obvious answer would be to say that its the stranger she met at the funeral right

but i dont think thats it

i think the girl did it

[commences]

would the girl do something so profound? there's various elements in this case.

but i'd love to hear your theory.

[kingofscience]

Sometimes you've just gotta think outside of the box in these instances. Komaeda-san said place a line anywhere. He never said in what position it had to be in!

[silentabyss]

oh i guess so

i mean what you did made sense i just wouldnt have thought of it

thinking "in" the box i guess

oh, but good job though

[kingofscience]

Hehe, thanks!

I can show you a couple other brainteasers and riddles if you want, too! Help the creative gears turn even more outside of the box.

They'll be less math oriented, so no need to worry on that front.

[ for both noahs sake, and my sake as a writer that is. why does senku like math so much i did this to myself ]
