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.]

[Weiss shares Karkat's opinion on the movies. Sharpedo Tornado is not her style, but she can appreciate things like 'Awake in Azalea', 'Watchog Day', and the like.

She can be found flipping through the pile, trying to figure out how movies got translated so well.]

I guess I should've known y'all girls would back Karkat up on this sappy gunk.

[Grumble grump. How people could possibly not appreciate flying shark building-chomping nonsense is beyond him.]

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-07 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I might back him up, but by the time Yang and Ruby look at these, I'm pretty sure it'll be an even split.
callbacks: (bros brothers)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-07 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I think Jade could go either way, but I bet Dipper'll be in my corner. Shark corner. Do we have an even number? Oh, wait, what about Penny.
usedglaciate: (doing the math)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-07 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You, me, Karkat, Jade, Dipper, Ruby, Yang, Penny. That's eight, so it's an even number.

I'm honestly not sure about Penny. She's the wild card.
callbacks: (panty raid)

Dibs on bribing her and Jade with junk food.
usedglaciate: (blank stare)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-07 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't call dibs on bribing someone!
eclectictype: (ʙᴀᴛᴏɴ ᴘᴀss)

[personal profile] eclectictype 2016-03-07 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Who left this bottle here? That is so silly, we don't want to attract ants.

[Jade scoops up the bottle to put it in the appropriate waste bin, it's only after she does this that she remembers--oh god no, they don't want to attract ants, Durant are huge and made of metal.]

Anyway, what should we play first? What's the funnest thing to do in crazy kid slumber parties?
callbacks: (thats for the birds)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-07 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not. Are you the dibs police now, Weiss. Are you.
usedglaciate: (hmmm...)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but that's like calling dibs on calling shotgun. You can't just go around doing that.
callbacks: (bishie sparkle)

I dunno, as Earth's preeminent scholar on dibs law, I'm pretty sure my technique checks out. It's the same concept as patenting intellectual property, it was my idea first so I get to take it to the bank.
usedglaciate: (something like a smile)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-07 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Preeminent scholar on dibs law? Really, Dave?

[...but at least she's laughing. Point to you, Strider.]
callbacks: (im a hipster but only ironically)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-07 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[The laugh earns her a sliver of a smile in return.]

It's a specialized field. I'm in high demand.

[Sorry guys, looks like there's gunna be some conflict here. Every time Ruby flips past a romcom in her search through the pile of movies, she scrunches her nose up and stick her tongue out at it.]

Blech. Why're there so many romance movies here?

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-08 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you're flying all over Johto settling dibs disputes. Dibsputes?
callbacks: (camp)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Those exact 'sputes. See, you get it, you know how to pick up what I'm putting down. You could be dibs police, I'm willing to sponsor you through dibs cop academy.
in4apounding: (this concerns me)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2016-03-08 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? Some of these look cute!

[Honestly, everything here looks super interesting, but Penny is 90% sure that sleepovers are supposed to include romantic movies. Or possibly spooky films? It could be both, but there's not a lot of latter available. Unless 'Sharpedo Tornado' is a lot less silly than it sounds.]

[She flips past a few titles herself, looking for something likely. 'Coming to Unova,' 'Ghost-Type,' 'Flame Bodies'...]


What about this one? "The Prinplup Bride."
eclectictype: (ʙᴏᴜɴᴄᴇ)

[personal profile] eclectictype 2016-03-08 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
usedglaciate: (Default)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-03-08 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What's it supposed to be a knockoff of? Either way, I'm down.
callbacks: (bond james bond)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-08 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
callbacks: (play it again john)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-03-08 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I think Truth or Dare is traditional.

[Dave is exercising his right as A Dude What Lives in This Room to be lying on his bed, head at the foot, watching over the proceedings with his arms crossed under his chin.]

But what do I know, I've never had a slumber party with humans.
