Sixth floor common room- Wednesday evening

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine just wanted to get away from people for a while, and rather than going out to the warehouse, she decided to head on up to the sixth floor common room. No one was ever up there, so why not?

What she found was a party setup. This wasn't the first time she'd stumbled onto one of these things, and on a week like this she wasn't sure she trusted it. So she took a picture of the setup and sent it to the other students with a message, I think the sixth floor did it again?

She realized belatedly that this was of course probably going to bring people in here when that was the exact opposite of what she'd wanted. Look, she was not firing on all cylinders this week. She couldn't even seem to pick up the Coke bottle that may or may not have been stuck to the floor, but still spun if you hit it. Interesting.


[LOOK. Look. Our students are too good, and this is a good week to fix that. Open party, up early for SP!]

Or, flirt/notice how pretty everyone is.

There are also totally moddable foods and drinks, including maybe some adult beverages. Whatever gets you to mash your face with another person's face.

Count off, 1- however many!

Spin the Bottle

[seriesofbaddecisions]

The Coke bottle couldn't be picked up, but it could be spun. Which naturally somehow ended in a bunch of people sitting around to spin it to see who to kiss.


[Here's the rules: Sign up and count off numbers in the thread above. When you post a comment to spin, hit up the RNG to see which of those numbers you're kissing. Make sure to put the lucky person's name in the subject line so it stands out, and keep checking to see if you're up!

And take as many turns as you want, no one will complain. It's pollen week.]

Post-game mingling

[seriesofbaddecisions]

In case you want to talk to someone you just had a public makeout session with. Or someone you totally wanted a makeout session with and didn't get it and now you're having confusing feelings.

APPARENTLY I did this same thing like four years ago, only I could do the RNG on a computer instead of tiny phone internets, so now people have to do it themselves. Also I totally forgot I did this thing like four years ago and have zero problem recycling.

This was totally fine and Sabine was definitely not questioning why she was bothering to see who showed up. This wasn't her party, she didn't need to be here, she could leave whenever.

But still, she could see who showed up.

"This is a really bad idea and I'm not sure why I actually came up here," Norman announced as he stepped into the common room, holding his phone and looking a little wide-eyed. "Why did I come up here?"

Because who needed inhibitions this week, right? Right?

See, Astrid sort of figured she knew exactly what Sabine meant by that message about the sixth floor; it wasn't too difficult to discern that it likely meant a random party, and if there was a random party Sabine was dealing with, then that put her in a good position to be away from Sabine for a little bit, because the shared space of their room was starting to really get to her.

But, at the same time, she'd just spent all day being awkward around Sidon, so a party would give her the chance to spread that awkwardness around with multiple people instead of having it laser-focused on one particular individual, which was far worse and more awkward.

It wouldn't hurt to check it out. It would beat staying in her room and getting distracted by Sabine's artwork or getting distracted by her own, which only turned out to be betraying her at every turn, putting far too much of what was in her head onto paper.

"How does it even do this?" she wondered, considering the whole randomly appearing set up with a shake of her head.

Look, Trevor had basically turned into a hermit for a bit there. More than a bit.

It had been a full on hermithood.

But now for reasons having to do with, lets say the weather, he was breaking that to come back out. And not do magical tricks like his last foray.

"Oh thank God, you have ale," he said, making a beeline for those drinks.

"Because if we're all going to be cranky and miserable, we might as well be cranky and miserable together?"

Sure, Sabine.

"... That's actually the best reason to do anything that I've heard so far," Norman admitted. "This week is the worst. Next year I'm staging a mutiny and booking a portal to Peru or something, and anyone who wants to can come along."

Re: Arrive/mingle

"I think it just waits for me to come up here," Sabine sighed.

This was twice. if it happened a third time she was going to feel attacked.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Oh, that'll lead to good things," Sabine said wryly, basically still pretending that any of this was a good idea.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I considered it... and kinda of got talked out of it."

Well. She'd started having to picture Sidon in the ocean and okay stopping that train of thought right now!

"I can't believe this happens regularly and everybody just puts up with it."

Re: Arrive/mingle

[always_someone]

"I can't believe this happens annually and everybody keeps getting surprised by it," Norman added, shaking his head a little. "I'm not sure what we'd do about it, though. Burn whatever's putting off the pollen?"

Re: Arrive/mingle

[crack_that_whip]

"Do you really think sobriety is any better?" At least he knew he was damned, so all the impure thoughts were just a-okay.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[crack_that_whip]

"Magic," Trevor suggested blandly.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"What is putting off the pollen?" Sabine asked.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Maybe bit better, but I'd regret it less tomorrow."

...which she didn't mean maybe the way it came off but she also gave up.

Re: Arrive/mingle

Norman gave his head a little shake.

"I mean, I'd guess something out there is flowering, right? I could ask, um, around, and see if any," ghosts, "body has seen any weird flowers around this week?"

The living were way too distracted by one another to look around for plants. The dead didn't generally have that problem.

Re: Arrive/mingle

[crack_that_whip]

"Because its this or wearing your wrist out."

Wow, Trevor going in hard.
