[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. )

( he's not wrong in that on either count. amami gives up a shrug. )

I can do that.

( can he just go get the worms or does he need to make a new top-level for that "in front of the whole room" effect... )

[crystallomancy]

( i'm crying enh you do whichever you want )

[sisters]

( i'm putting it here because i need this thread to hit five comments.

so anyway, after wandering outside for about 15 minutes, amami will come back with three (3) whole worms. he's not staying out there all night for this so three plural worms is going to have to be enough for natsume. after another five or ten minutes in the kitchen, he'll come back out to the living room, washed and fried worms in-hand, and lean up against the tv-stand so that he can make eye contact with natsume.

he lifts the worms up over his mouth, drops them in, and looks perfectly fine with this as he chews and swallows them down.

then he walks his way back over. he actually looks kinda proud of himself. )

So, Natsume-kun, truth or dare?

[mermaidcursed]

( visibly balks, a little pale

realizes they're cooked

RUNS TO BLEACH THE KITCHEN AND WASH DISHES IMMEDIATELY, EVERYBODY GTFO THE KITCHEN )

[sisters]

( they were washed first... damn y'all that afraid of some bugs? )

[mermaidcursed]

( YES, WHEN THEY'RE IN HER KITCHEN this is so stupid you don't have to answer )

[crystallomancy]

( natsume makes a face... gross. boys are so gross. he's a boy, but that's gross. )

...I suppose I'll go with TRUTH.

( both options are bad for him tbh, so. )

[sisters]

( all y'all are cowards. it's not that bad! well, it would have been preferable if he could have used seasoning, but it's just a dare anyways, so he's not complaining. )

Alright. Most embarrassing memory, go.

( it's an easy go-to. )

[crystallomancy]

Performing a concert with my classmates at the end of the school YEAR.

( that one is quick and easy and that's all the detail he's giving. )

Truth or DARE?

[sisters]

( aw, he's no fun at all with this. rika-chan plays this game way better. )

Dare.

[crystallomancy]

( hmmmm... right after he's eaten worms... okay )

Go kiss the person you LIKE, but don't SKIMP. Put on a real show for US, Amami-kun.

[sisters]

...Don't go easy on me or anything.

( jeez, natsume, right for the throat. )

Anyway, that's a pretty tough one. I mean, you shouldn't go dragging other people into dares if they're not okay with it.

[crystallomancy]

You've got an excuse for everyTHING. It's almost impresSIVE.

( almost. )

AnyWAY... That's sort of the point of the game, isn't IT? That's why there's already been dares like, "Get someone to give you a piggyback ride without telling them it's a dare" or "Give out compliments!" or "Make someone smile in five words or less!" and SUCH. That's still dragging other people into a DARE, even if it's more 'posiTIVE'.

[sisters]

I guess, but they're not supposed to be the kind of things that can cause real harm. ( subaru's bugs were cooked. )

Being asked out on a dare, or getting some kind of infection, those things can have consequences that go further than just being a little embarrassed. There's a difference, y'know?

( he shakes his head... he gets it if this is about subaru not appreciating that dare, but dragging someone else into your revenge? not cool, natsume. )

Anyway, it's not that I don't want to play along, but you have to remember that it is just a game, and it should be fun at the end of the day.

[crystallomancy]

( why can't you be a Little mean... )

...You're RIGHT. ( mmm. ) But it shouldn't be a problem if you ask permission first THEN. If they say NO, I'll let you off the HOOK.

[sisters]

( only to akehoshi-kun. )

Sorry, Sakasaki-kun, I'm gonna have to turn this one down. It feels like that ruins the point of it all in the first place, if it's on something like a dare.

( he's a romantic, let him have his kiss in the right place at the right time when he's processed some more. )

I dunno what the penalty is, but I'll take that over this.

( at least only he suffers then. )

[crystallomancy]

( amami is so difficult....... but fine, let him think of it. )

...For your penalTY, I'll bestow the gift of "obedience" upon YOU. Putting dares aSIDE, you're not allowed to refuse reQUESTS. And to take advantage of that immediateLY... ( ... c: ) Go and make me some TEA.

[sisters]

Haha, yeah, I guess that's fair.

( it's pretty harmless, he figures; if natsume wants to power trip then amami can play along.

... kind of. )

That doesn't sound like much of a request though. ( more like a command. ) Maybe if you add a "please."
