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. ]

[Cause you're a pretty cool guy, Intensity.]

Guess it's been a while since you been over, huh.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[You're too pure for this world, Hurricane]

I think the last time I came over was when Mori asked if I could do anything with your screens. You know, now, I probably could.

[Gestures to the arcade]

You're game, of course.

[This is not a question]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Motorcycle racing?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we could do with another course. Different bikes, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And maybe not need HSS powers to protect ourselves y/y?]

How much have you played already, darling~? I do enjoy going up against someone who thinks that home court advantage will save them.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Little bit.

[See-saws his hand back and forth. He hasn't been home a whole lot since they got the arcade, so.]

Don't need home court advantage for a good showing, though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't want just a good showing. That's for amateurs.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, so I gotta go pro level here?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Absolutely. Time to impress all the friends you invited and then tell them to get on your level!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay, dude. So get on my level.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I thought you'd never ask, Darling.

[Where is this magical motorcycle game? Time to ruin all the high scores!!!]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Up against the far wall! Let's do this!!!]

[Which is to say, holding his arm out for his sweetheart to take to escort him there, all gallant-like.]

Shall we?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Raises an eyebrow but fine. Since really who else could have invited him here in the first place.

Intensity will escort Hurricane right up to the motorcycle game, mock bowing (emphasis on the mock) before heading over toward his own machine.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hops on up on the motorcycle and smacks his palm down on the start button.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hope that was you setting it to the highest difficulty!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Comes with the course select, dude. Pick your poison.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Do they have the equivalent of Rainbow Road for motorcycles? This is an HSS arcade after all]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[They sure do.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Then guess what they're doing.

DIFFICULTY TO THE MAX.

As he's revving his bike:]

The color saturation on this course is fucking garish.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, it's like half the aesthetic. You saying you want monochrome motorcycle space flight?

[Revving his, too.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I want the stars to not have cute smiling faces! That's too much yellow! Who designed this fucking---

[And floors it when the screen says 'GO']

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's played it enough times that he's got the start time down, even when he's debating the look of the level - floors it, too, and the bike on the screen takes off flying.]

Someone who liked stars with cute smiling faces, duh.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So everyone in this dorm then.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dunno if that's really King's look.
