HSS Celebrates The Lunar New Year (a little late)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Who: HSS and Invited guests
Where: HSS Dorms
When: FORWARD DATED to Day 91, afternoon into evening

[ Heart Soldier Senshi's dorm has been completely redecorated today. Stepping off the elevator and onto the eleventh floor, you'll immediately find yourself greeted by rows of red-and-gold paper lanterns dangling from the ceiling and strings of colorful holiday lights set at the edges of the hallway. They light the way to the open doors, and inside yet more lanterns and twinkling lights festoon the the ceilings. Here, too, the walls have been lined with paper depictions of cranes, dragons, magpies, and the sun, a world of scarlet and gold. Underneath all this, the main table has been set with a crimson tablecloth and on top of that, plate after plate of traditional foods have been set out for guests to take from buffet style.

The bedrooms, too, are open-doored and emptied** of their usual furniture. Instead, they've been filled with chairs and tables obviously procured from the lobby downstairs and identically decorated for the occasion. Guests will find they can easily intermingle between the rooms to visit with their hosts and the other guests as well as eat. At each place-setting, guests will find confetti poppers, mini sparklers, and colorful squares of paper and tacks for guests to write a wish to hang on the long string that spans the back wall.

And for those people finished eating and looking for something fun to do, the arcade room is open and available with a whole host of games for competitive play. ]

[** All of the unnecessary furniture has been tinified thanks to AlcheME and stuffed into the closets should anyone care to go looking for it. ]

[ *** Although we've done our best to ping everyone who's invited, some of you play multiples and there's always the chance we could have missed someone. If you're uncertain if your character would have been invited or not, you can refer to this list. You can also DM any HSS member if you have questions on Discord or Plurk. ]

[Who the fuck picked a ☆☆☆☆☆☆ rated song as an opener?!



Oh yeah.

This guy.]

[we_meet_again]

[It seems like at one point he used to be really good at this kind of game, but it's been a long time since then. At first he misses a lot of beats, but after something like 30 seconds he starts to find his groove. By the end he's actually kinda holding his own for the most part.

His ending score was ...not great, but also not quite as bad as expected!!]

Whew!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[You know how other people in Imeeji have muscle memory for useful things! Yeah, Intensity doesn't have that. He does have muscle memories for video games though, apparently, because he's able to navigate the flurry of dots that fly across the screen after the few initial moments.

It's enough for them to clear the stage anyway. And move on to the next song. On screen, Intensity's drum mascot give Cobalt's a rousing cheer before tossing him back into the ring.

GET BACK IN THERE]

Come now. Pull your weight.

[we_meet_again]

I'm gonna beat you like this drum!

[which is to say, vigorously and somewhat incorrectly]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Accurate tbh.]

Physical violence might actually get you somewhere. Your sense of tempo certainly is not.

[we_meet_again]

[He looks like he's about to say something when the second round abruptly starts. So he has to speak with his drumsticks!!

And his drumsticks say DO-DO-KA-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DON-DON-KA-DO-DO-KA-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DON-DON-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DON-DON-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DON-DON-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DON-DON-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-KA-KA-KA-]

[[I just want you to know that I never knew I wanted this tag until it appeared in my inbox. Fucking amazing!]]

[What the fuck is going on? Where the fuck did those Taiko skills come from.

Intensity can't lose. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!]

[]

[Intensity will remember this]

[we_meet_again]

[Well.... Cobalt honestly doesn't know how this happened, either. He looks back and forth between their scores, a little incredulous.

Shit, the YGO laws dictate he's supposed to gloat now, right? heck. What is he supposed to say, he wasn't prepared for this]


Better luck next time!




[...heck]

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just the flattest of flat looks. Like soda that has been left out in the open for a fucking week.]

Better luck next time. . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I demand a rematch! Right here! Right fucking now!

[we_meet_again]

YEAH THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!!!!!!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[What's the angriest song in this collection?! All of this sounds like happy carefree garbage.

Oh wait! They have Beethoven's 5th!

HERE WE FUCKING GO!]

[we_meet_again]

[It's time to D-D-D-D-D-DON



HE PLAYS REAL HARD!!!!!]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[DON DON DA DON

You're a third rate drummer with fourth rate sticks!]

[we_meet_again]

[Calling Cobalt third rate might still be a bit generous, but what he lacks in timing he makes up for in enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, enthusiasm isn't what's being scored on the screen.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[If it was, Cobalt and Hurricane would own the high scores for everything. It's true.

And not the challenge adrenaline junkies]
