my heart's not fluttering or anything

Who: Hamsteaks,Team RWPY, & Dipper
Where: GOLDENROD INN, specifically Dave and Karkat's room but possibly others as well? It depends.
When: 3/5, afternoonish/evening/well into the wee hours of 3/6
Summary: A certain travel party largely consisting of traumatized teenagers initiates a team building exercise, AKA sleepover. This is clearly the best idea ever and will in no way backfire at all.
Rating: PG-13 for, uh. Homestuck vocabularies.
Log:

[Despite having been in their immediate vicinity for three weeks, Karkat had somehow managed to avoid talking to most of the people in their group for any significant length of time. A lot of it was personal preference because yes, he was still intermittently freaking out about being a human surrounded by humans, but the fact that he'd blown up at two of the other party members and probably guaranteed that Jade or Dave or both would be auspisticizing between them for the foreseeable future (oh god please no) didn't help matters. He'd rather stay in his damn room or hide in the local bookstore than deal with any of that bullshit.

Unfortunately, maintaining his busy schedule of staying the fuck away from other people as much as possible was untenable, especially when his best friends were also their friends and he literally had no excuse to keep putting it off—unless he could say he needed to take his Pokemon on a walk? Do people even take Pokemon on walks? Would Dave even buy that when neither Merope nor Sharru have shown the slightest amount of interest in going on walks? Well, okay, no, Dave might not even care, but Jade...

Either way, the moment his roommate decides on the impromptu movie night, sends out texts to inform the others, and begins putting together a Sweet Throh and Hella Sawk flyer for their door to mark the occasion (why is he friends with this moron again) is the moment Karkat's fate is sealed.

They're going to have a sleepover, and everyone is invited.]

Yes!

[Wow, Jade seems unusually enthusiastic for what's supposed to be a romance f--]

If this is supposed to be a Poke-knock off of what I think it is, yes let's watch it, it's a super good movie!

[Oh, she's already seen The Princess Bride and knows what it's about, okay then.]

What's it supposed to be a knockoff of? Either way, I'm down.

Holy shit, is that The Princess Bride? Christ, Karkat, you could've told me you had that on tap, we could've been watching that like five years ago!

[Dave turns his head toward the Remnant girls.]

It's this hilariously low-budget old comedy fairy tale movie with like fifteen awesome sword fights in it. Billy Crystal's got basically a stand-up routine in there. I'm down.
in4apounding: (yeah?)

I don't know who Billy Crystal is, but the rest of it sounds sensational!

[And to think she'd mostly picked it because the cover looked pretty.]

It's definitely sensational, and funny, and heart-warming--it's got all the romance stuff Karkat likes, plus cool sword-fighting, and RUSes!

I like the sound of that, but what in the world are RUSes?
callbacks: (fuckin hot)

You'll find out, 'cause I think we got a winner, ladies and gentlekids.

[Dave rolls off his bed and goes to set up the DVD player. He pauses as the tray opens, though, and looks back.]

No one's, like. Got a problem with sword fights and violence, right? Nothing's ever super graphic...

[Your triggers, tell him them.]

[Weiss holds a finger up - the universal sign of 'give me a minute' - and scribbles a note for Dave:]

I don't want to say it out loud, but as long as it doesn't involve someone getting ripped to pieces, I think we're all good.

[He looks it over, thinks back to the last time he saw it, then shakes his head and gives her a thumbs-up. 'S all good, this movie has been cleared for all you sufferers of post-partitioning depression.]

[Good deal. No traumatizing Penny or Ruby? Then she's good, nodding.]
