Week 1: Slumber Party Mingle

[whirlingmace]

[ After getting permission on the staff, they take over the lounge. Futons, blankets, sleeping bags, and pillows are all dragged out into the middle of the room. Time to build a fort, guys!

Or come to the Lounge to find it made and everyone chilling out. There's hot chocolate and snacks! ]

[ WHY THE HELL IS HE HERE.

He just wanted some hot chocolate, yet here he is. With pillows surrounding him. He could probably get out of here, easily?

But he's just. Sitting there, drinking hot chocolate.




Whatever. ]

[justonezero]

[Scooches next to! He has hot chocolate as well, and the mug even has a cute face printed on the bottom a la the icon.]

Comfy, right?!

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He gives a quiet sigh. ]

If this is what you could consider comfy.

[justonezero]

You don't like being surrounded by pillows? It reminds me of home.

[...

He's also going to run some calculations to see if Vanitas is still injured.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's... even more injured, since the execution. Like.

Almost twice the injuries. ]

It's just weird if you ask me. [ new - it's new to him ] What's so fun about making a huge mess out of pillows and blankets?

[justonezero]

It means you get to sleep surrounded by softness!

[Which is GREAT let him tell you.]

How'd you get hurt even more?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He blinks softly. ]

What are you talking about?

[ ... Yep, he sure is going to play stupid. For reasons. ]

[justonezero]

Your injuries. I can see the world as numbers, and that means your stats too, you know!

[enter_the_darkness]

[ ...................... ]

"Stats"?

[justonezero]

That's just what I call them, but it's like in video games. You know, where you can bring up a window with all your character stats, like HP and MP and all that?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ ... About that... ]

No, I actually don't know.

[justonezero]

[Why this!!]

You don't know video games either?!

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He just. Shakes his head. ]

Why?

[jumpedtheshark]

Oh... I didn't expect to see you here Vanitas-kun.

[Look at him, probably unintentionally socializing.]

[enter_the_darkness]

That makes two of us.

[ He just. Takes a long sip of the hot chocolate, and then shrugs a shoulder, barely managing to not wince as he does. He's managing to just keep a wry look of acceptance, for now. ]

Trying to leave felt like more effort than it was worth.

[ What the hell does he even mean by that. Leaving would be easy, right!!! ]

[jumpedtheshark]

W-well, It'd be plain rude to not show up.

[Although, yeah, she would really rather be binge watching anime... but, becoming a NEET wouldn't be very productive right now.]

Umm... 'cuz people would try and drag you back?

[That's her guess at least.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He quirks a brow at the first part. ]

Rude, huh?

[ That's it; that's all he says back to that. The question, on the other hand, has him giving a soft smirk. It's kind of wry... ]

Who knows...

[ Vanitas.......... ]

[jumpedtheshark]

Yeah.

[She'll just leave it at that.]

Well... hopefully we won't have to find out.

[It sounds like a one way ticket to Vanitas fighting someone and wrecking all the pillow forts in the process.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Yep. RIP pillow forts. ]

I don't plan on sticking around, anyway. I'm just here for this.

[ Gesturing with the hot chocolate. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

Umm... I guess hot chocolate is as good a reason to be here as any...

[It’s admittedly a primary reason she’s here too.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He gives a brief sideways glance. ]

So, are you here just to avoid being rude, then?

[jumpedtheshark]

Mostly.

[It also gives her the opportunity to check up on those here she'd rather not die.]

Well... that and it's good to keep up with the group, right?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He makes just a bit of a face... ]

... Guess that's true. Can't learn anything about the [ E N E M Y ] other members of this game, if you're never around them.

[jumpedtheshark]

Yeah.

[The old saying and all, keep your enemies closer and all.]

If the clues keep beings so sparse... then I think this is the best way to identify the Mafia. It's better than plain guessing.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He gives a thoughtful look. ]

That's a good point. Not that I cared too much about catching the person, last time.

[ WELL....... ]
