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. ]

Pulleys and levers, that definitely sounds like something there're books about.

[crossmyheartandhope]

We'll figure it out, no problem.

[unbr8kable]

Yup! Elevators better wait for us to rock their world!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Payback for all those times we had to wait for the one in the hotel lobby.

[unbr8kable]

If this works out, we could make a private elevator on the side of the building. Charge for one that works.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude! And go up to the windows or something - that's a great idea.

Guess not everyone has windows, though.

[unbr8kable]

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... guess everyone oughtta get on that.

[Makes a face.]

We oughtta get on that. Only got that garden balcony, still.

[unbr8kable]

Finally got tired of being cold all the time at the hideout? ...You need some money?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, no such thing as cold if you pile enough blankets on, right?

And I don't got window regrets. Not like I'm there ever, anyway. It'd just be nice to sneak out sometimes if I gotta.

[unbr8kable]

Pretty sure it can be cold even if it's got blankets. Especially if you're a zombie. And yeah, get windows, makes it a lot nicer if you gotta be in there.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I put in for an upgrade like ages ago. They said no to a secret stairs passageway, so I threw in windows instead. Guess we'll see if it ever comes through.

[A pause, thinking.]

What if the blanket pile was like as tall as you? You couldn't even feel weather, I bet.

[unbr8kable]

That's because you'd be dead. That's too many blankets to breathe.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You'd stick your head out one end.

[unbr8kable]

Just means you'd be able to watch yourself be crushed. Like if you take a balloon and squash it in the middle.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think it'd work like that?

[unbr8kable]

Why wouldn't it work like that? Even if it's feathers, you can get crushed if it's a ton of 'em.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...okay. I'll go like half blankets.

[unbr8kable]

Or you could just go inside sometimes. Even bears hibernate in winter.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Eh, sounds overrated.

[unbr8kable]

Depends on how grey you like being. Personally, I found it pretty relaxing, except for all the parts that were terrible.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. Coulda done without the terrible parts.

[unbr8kable]

You were gone for most of the terrible parts.

[him being gone was most of the terrible parts.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...sorry.

[unbr8kable]

[Nudges against him]

You don't gotta be sorry.
