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. )

Ah, to tell P-kun their rocks are just useless... colorless... pieces of trash on the side of the road is so... so cruel, how could you?

( he looks at his hand, following the lines that cross over one another, stretching to the center of his his palm, and there's a soft sigh. he's almost disappointed in sara for giving him this opportunity to make it worse, and he looks towards npc-kun with a soft expression: )

It's your turn to give Chidouin-san a dare.

( it's meant to be two against one, but he looks up at sara, crossing his arms after with a nod, confirming his thoughts. ) Since it's written in the rules.

[adsum]

[ They're not rocks from outside! They came from inside a drawer!! ]

No way, how could I paint over the natural beauty of these rocks? You have to appreciate them for what they are. I dare you to play gacha and buy a rock, then you'll see.

[ One little rock and they can continue truth or dare ]

[samuraiwomen]

I-its not that cruel is it? Hey...look. I wanted to spend those merit points on jam...

[ She's got a nice stockpile because unlike her roommate she's not a gatcha addict. ]

These aren't even the right rules...Can I just buy a rock from you...

[commences]

You have to play the gacha to fully immerse yourself into the joys of gaining a side of the road rock.

( come on sara, you might even get the skull rock!? or the egg rock that can hatch, don't think you can get away from this. he even leans up against npc-kun, siding with them as if sara's evil for her actions. )

One rock won't be enough to make her learn her lesson, I think 22 rocks would be best!

[adsum]

[ sidles up to Komaeda ]

Yes! Please play gacha 220 times!

[samuraiwomen]

Gambling... It's gambling. I'm trying to be a responsible member of society!

[They're both sidling up to eachother. She's just standing here watching this...Tenshu-kun, aren't we allies? Don't accept this petty bribe, we have math answers to steal! ]

I refuse... 220 rolls...thats over two thousand merit points. I'd die.

[ She wipes an eye with completely fake sadness. ]

Bullying...sniff...I'm being forced to compromise my morals. [ She clasps her hand to her chest, bowing her head to complete the effect. ] Taking advantage of a vulnerable girl...you're both awful!

[commences]

( you know npc-kun is a enigma of only money and rocks, as for komaeda-arata, he smiles as he watches sara's gestures. her head low, accusing them both for bring horrible men to society, and the older of the three cants his head to the side. )

Isn't P-kun your boss, your goal in life is to make them happy so they can make you happy...

( he sighs, looking off to the side with a pitiful look, one like a kicked puppy, pained by the outcome that he's dealing with. he makes sure to look at npc-kun now, trying to silently come to an agreement on something like eggs or bacon, but he turns to sara... )

You speak like you're poor... are you?

( rich boy talk alert. )

[adsum]

[ sighs, it's so hard to swindle poor people

npckun looks at Komaeda, looks back at Sara...


... ]

It's not gambling! With 220 rolls, you're [ almost ] guaranteed to win something good! If you don't have enough money, Komaeda will pay for you!

[samuraiwomen]

Boss? Huh, no we're just friends right? [ She drops the act for a second in her confusion. She's not doing this for money or anything, just because npckun is cute and she likes them. ] I already said I want to be happy on my own merit, thank you.

[Anyway, the fake crying is going way better then she ever thought possible. Its amazing, this usually never works. Let her get back into character... ]

Poor...aren't we all poor now? [No, not really. She's been obsessively saving merit points out of natural frugaless...so spending two thousand on worthless rocks. She'd rather die. ] But borrowing money...I couldn't. I couldn't pay him back, it'd be despicable. Unless he gave me that money freely as a gift...I'd have to decline.

[commences]

Oh, she can't pay me back, so there's no need...

( he's going along with her whims because she is saying this herself, and npc-kun should respect that. )

I dare Chidouin-san to beg five people that isn't us for merit points so she can play rock gacha! What do you think?

( huh! what do you think p-kun!! )

[adsum]

[ or Komaeda can freely hand over money!!! he has so much he won't even notice it grrrrrr eat the rich ]

I don't think the average person here even has 44000 yen or 440 merit points to their name. Why is everybody so poor? It's already second semester.

[samuraiwomen]

[ Ah, its lost effectiveness? Well then, time to abandon it utterly. Her expression flatlines as she straightens up. ]

Maybe...its because they spend all their points gambling for rocks.

[ You'll never acquire her riches. ]

Just let me buy a few rocks off you, Tenshu-kun. I'll take five, you can give me the ones that aren't even fit for gatcha. [ So she can go throw them onto the ground later. ] I'm not begging anyone. I already insulted them, don't be greedy.

[commences]

Hm...

( everyone's poor, but that's not komaeda-arata's problem at all, and he looks over at sara like he's contemplating something. this is the person who tried to shoot him, and also hates him, and now he's supposed to hand over his money? how does that work. )

I could steal someone's PDA, and that way you could use their merit points...

( he's looking around for some unfortunate fool that isn't taking care of their pda... )

[adsum]

[ ... ]

Those are both good ideas! How are we supposed to choose between the? Impossible. Let's do both!

[ They dig five rocks out of their bag so Sara can make her purchase, and Komaeda can go do some petty thievery while they're at it ]

[samuraiwomen]

Gambling, stealing, and defrauding. Who knew a sleepover could become a gangster den so quickly?

[ Just so we're all clear what's going on here. She leans down to pull out her PDA and swipe it so she can buy some rocks. Sara's resistance to Komeada stealing will differ vastly based on who he robs. Please rob Joshua, or Childe.

She does take the time to give npc-kun a smile. ]

Having fun?

[commences]

( ... they're actually letting komaeda go steal someone's pda.

that's like letting him get away, and the possibility he won't come back.

...
...
...
...

so he's getting up to leave towards someone that he thinks will be easy to take their pda.

[adsum]

[ not Shin's PDA I'm crying, npckun looking at him like why would you take the most useless PDA

at least they're getting sales from Sara, who buys five rocks more than they thought she would.

... ]

Yeah, I'm having fun. Everybody's trying so hard.

[samuraiwomen]

[ No this is good, Shin has like three merit points, so Sara doesn't have to play gatcha at all. Everyone wins, who knew Komeada could be cool?

Just need to make sure he doesn't run off or she'll tackle him again. ]

Trying hard? Huh...I wonder what you mean? Do you think what we're doing is silly, perhaps?

[adsum]

Yeah! But it's fun to watch!

[ People running around doing silly dares, people answering truth honestly, it's all be very fun. People are so interesting. ]
