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! ]

Hmm... well, I can't give any one single reason, but I think it's just a nice way to enjoy each other's company. The hot water alone is enough to make you relax, which makes conversations come a little easier.

[ He's quiet for a moment. ]

Sounds a little boring, to me...

[ But then he's never... so much as touched the hot tub here. He has no idea what he's missing out on. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

There's a saying that you shouldn't knock it till you've tried it. It's not like time is at a premium here, so why not give it a shot sometime with someone you want to get closer to?

[make those social links, vanitas!!]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ HAVE YOU MET HIM!!!

That last part gets something of a... blank look for a moment. It's something between being as though this guy just momentarily spoke in another language... and just something he just finds too ridiculous. ]

I think I'll pass.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[you say this like murdergames aren't about friendshipping the shit out of antisocial jerks!!

Anyways, he does catch Vanitas' look when he said that and he gives a sheepish laugh.]

Alright, maybe that was a bit much. I still say you should give it a try, though. It doesn't even have to be with anyone, really; just going for the experience is enough.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Listen........................ that's entirely fair. ]

... Maybe.

[ Basically, he'll do it when nobody else is around. ]

You spend a lot of time at those things, then?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Success...?? Not like it's really any skin off his back if Vanitas does or doesn't go, but ]

Yeah, when I was living back at home. I grew up in a town that's fairly well-known for their hot springs, so it became sort of a family thing to do.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's an almost blank look on his face at the mention of family. It doesn't last very long. He looks away, falling quiet for a moment. ]

I'd never even heard of those. Maybe it's a thing that's unique to the world you're from.

[ Yeah, just avoiding the family talk like it's some kind of disease here. ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Another odd moment with Vanitas, huh...]

It's possible, but the fact that they have a hot tub here means the concept's been carried over, at least.

[...]

Do you travel a lot or something?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He nods. ]

To different worlds.

[relentlesslyonwards]

You say that so casually... I don't imagine it's the kind of thing you'd do for a day trip, though.

[Just looks over at Vanitas for confirmation.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's a small smirk. ]

Actually, yeah.
