Around the dorms and to the 5th Floor Common Room, Wednesday evening

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Call it a distraction technique. Call it a way of celebrating a holiday weekend. Call it just plain forgetting what happened the last time she hosted even a small party.

Call it whatever you wanted, but Jessica was putting up flyers for a get-together on Saturday. One which would not lead to any knd of wackiness at all.

THIS SATURDAY
6th Floor CR at 6:00 PM
Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend
With Friends

She finished up at home base in the fifth floor common room, where she turned the TV on and, well, there really wasn't anything on. Apparently summer was starting before Memorial Day this year. Eventually she came across a superhero movie. Oh, Jade Torch. Why was your movie so terrible? You were ruining it for everyone else.

[OOC: Partially to remind people about the party leading into Not-So-Final Destination, partially because I AM HOME AND CAN PLAY AGAIN. CR is open!]

"You're setting something up, aren't you?" asked Emily in a this-isn't-really-a-question tone as she jumped into the sofa. She had to do that more often.

"I take it you've seen the fliers?" Jessica asked. "Because that would be a thing I'm setting up, yes."

"If I were a tracker that would have been a pretty easy trail to follow," said Emily with a nod. Not that she was a tracker or anything. "Want to offer any insight into that?"

"It's pretty surface level," Jessica admitted. "Holiday weekend where we don't get the holiday off. We have newish people who could probably do with a party. Seems like a decent idea to me."

"Look at you, going all party planner like and letting people socialize," Emily joked, although she actually appreciated the chance; it was still tiring to go and find people and listen and pretend she cared sometimes.

"Just try not to get almost stabbed again."

"That would be why it's here in the dorms, where people aren't allowed to have weapons," Jessica pointed out.

"That's a solid plan," Emily said, although there was a pointed difference between something not being allowed and something not being around. Still, it was less likely to get stabbed by a classmate. Well, in theory. "Hopefully it will get attention."

"Hope, schmope, I'm willing to sabotage date nights to make it happen," Jessica joked.

"That just means you're going to have tons of couples making out in your party," Emily said brightly.

"As long as they do it in a corner or the ball pit or something, that's fine," Jessica said. "Just don't make it awkward for everyone, people."

"Do we get a ball pit? That's all kinds of awesome and a tiny bit disconcerting," Emily said. "Making out is not awkward. Unless one of the parts involved thought it was a hug or a handshake."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"There's a ball pit room up there," Jessica mentioned. "And making out isn't awkward for the people making out. For everyone else in the room, it can be kind of weird."

"I probably missed it due to its sheer ridiculousness, and the fact I'll be never be caught dead in a ball pit," Emily said. And the school was riddled with voyeur squirrels so...

"It's just people kissing, Jessica. Unless there's heavy panting and inappropriate touching it's easy to ignore."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"The next time people are making out on the couch next to you, I'll remember you said that," Jessica noted.

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

"That is a completely different thing, but please, remind that I said that so I can make them feel all sorts of uncomfortable," Emily said as she smiled brightly. That should be fun.

"Well, then you're less socially awkward than me and I congratulate you," Jessica noted.

"Gee, thanks. It's a great honor," Emily joked, rising her chin and squaring her shoulders as if she had just gotten a medal.
