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. )

[scouring the area for Senku... Senku said "later" but Noah thinks "now" is a good time...]

ok sounds good

[going to appear out of nowhere... like a little goblin..........]

[noah finds senku... idk where you tell me, but Noah finds him and just kind of... if Senku's sitting down, Noah flops next to him and butts their shoulders together like, friendly camaraderie. he learnt it from childe.]

Hey. I have a riddle for you, actually. What has to be broken before you can use it?
kingofscience: (104)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Broken before you can use it, huh? Hm...

[ Yeah! He's just poppin a squat on the couch at the moment. He's not used to touch too much, but this camaraderie was nice. Noah's one of the closest friends he's got here too, so it's fine.

Senku puts his hand to his chin in thought. He's sure he's heard this one before... Time to check the ol' mind palace for any hints and- aha! ]


Silence, right? You break the silence in order to speak.

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Wha—

[This is one of those riddles he heard when he was a kid back on Elrios, and that wasn't the answer he was even thinking of, but Senku's answer is way better. Hello? What the fuck??]

...that was better than what I had. The answer I was thinking was "an egg".

[This is unfair. It's not like Noah was trying to match wits with his roommate, but still!]
kingofscience: (140)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh right, an egg works too!

[ KFHDFS SORRY NOAH, Senku is wild like that... But honestly, he might chalk this up to overthinking on his part too. ]

Honestly, it could be either! Some riddles tend to be open-ended in a way that causes the teller to pick which answer they're looking for.

But speaking of riddles, I've got one: What breaks yet never falls, and what falls yet never breaks?
silentabyss: (046)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... I guess so, yeah.

[And, well, fuck, he did subject himself to this game. Noah's not a person who's grrrrreat at riddles? But he'll give it a shot, surely.]

...th...uhh... [processing] Dawn breaks but dawn doesn't "fall" right? And... night "falls" but doesn't break.

...right?
kingofscience: (129)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much! Day break and night fall; nice job!

[ He thinks to himself for any other ideas... Oh he's got a few. ]

Hmmm. Do you want a harder one?
silentabyss: (077)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Be proud of him, he solved that by himself! By using his brain! Maybe Senku is starting to rub off on him.]

Yeah, sure. Give me something challenging.

[And watch as he absolutely fails it.]

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Kehehe, alright. Let's see...

[ Ahem. ]

There is a frog, dead in the middle of an island. If he swims north, the distance to the mainland is 2 metres. If he swims south, the distance to the mainland is 3 metres. If he swims east or west, the distance is 4 metres. Which way does he swim?

[ He said he was going to spare Noah from math, but technically... The answer doesn't have math in it. ]
silentabyss: (027)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Senkuuuu nooooooo...

Noah flips to a clean page in his sketchbook and starts making a diagram.]


He'd swim north because it's shorter— wait he's dead.

[YOU TRICKED HIM WITH YOUR NUMBERRRRS]

He's dead, he's not going anywhere!
kingofscience: (142)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehehehe, very clever! 10 billion points for you!

[ HE SURE DID, THE MADLAD ]

Oh, but if you have your sketchbook, do you mind if I write in it? I could make some visual riddles for you too!
silentabyss: (005)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Woo! Ten billion points for House Ebalon! Of which Noah is the only living member.]

Yeah, I don't mind. Here.

[He passes said sketchbook and pencil over. He knows Senku's not the destructive type, so he's not worried about potential damage or anything.]
kingofscience: (117)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sometimes a House is only you and that's okay! ]

Nice, thanks.

[ He takes the sketchbook and pencil and begins to draw a few little word diagrams of sorts. ]



Alright, what do these mean?
silentabyss: (054)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[do do do do do dododo]

Uh.

[Noah points to them sequentially as he's explaining, though it does take him a moment because... well, "H2O" he wouldn't have learnt without being around Senku and in an actual science class, due to how science on Elrios is a little... not... like that.]

Walk on... water? [help H2O better be water.] Read between the lines, [Noah's brain admittedly read it like "reald" somehow, like, let's just ignore all the other lines and turn that second to last one into an L,] and... Fill in the blanks.
kingofscience: (045)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-23 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ do do do do do doooooooooo dodo

If it's reald to you it's reald to me, Noah ]


Very nice! Three for three!
silentabyss: (087)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-23 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aww, Noah's... smiling? That never happens — turns out his face does work like that.]

Maybe if riddles were a class, my grades would be better. [This is only a half-joke.] I can't believe I remembered that "H2O" was water, though. That molecule stuff doesn't make much sense to me.
kingofscience: (103)

[personal profile] kingofscience 2021-09-29 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Aw... Honestly that makes Senku smile even wider himself. He's happy to be able to bring a smile to someone's face, especially one who doesn't smile too often. ]

Ha, that would be a pretty fun class. You could definitely argue how it helps people think on their feet and outside of the box. ...Maybe Game Club will have riddle events at some point then. [ He chuckles. ]

But you did really good! I'm proud. If you ever have any questions about molecules or other things involving grades, you can always come to me for help!

[ He doesn't want to push him to go to the Study Club if he doesn't want to, but hey, they're roomies! He can always ask then, even. ]
