sleepover sleepover SLEEPOVER

[phantasmagorial]

[ With the handful of new Executors awakening after the first batch, Rei's starting to get a little bit dithery. They're getting to be a big group now and while she's more than grateful for the help (and the company), she still finds herself worried about the group's cohesion. After all, Lion had admitted that he'd lashed out when he'd first awakened, Kingslayer and Pariah were at each other's throats and Iris wasn't even sure she wanted to be here at all.

Not that Rei could blame her.

But if they're going to be a team, then they at least need to be civil with each other. And getting in a bit of bonding before they have to go down and potentially double-die couldn't hurt.

So Rei borrows one of the hotel suites – a 'luxury' suite, according to the receptionist but to Rei's eyes, it just looks tacky as all get out. But it's big enough for the whole group and after spending an afternoon dragging in all the blankets she can find (and a few mattresses – thank god there aren't any other actual guests here to complain about her pillaging their rooms), Rei makes one final trip to the conbini to get... pretty much everything she can carry. Alcohol is right out (sorry, wine grandpa) but she brings back bulging bags of sodas, sweet drinks of all kinds and pretty much anything that looks made to be chugged. After that comes everything vaguely snack and candy-like in the store and a few things that might not actually be good to eat, and Rei feels confident in saying she's done.

She'd mentioned to a few of the others that she was having a bit of a get together that night, so all she can really do is wait for them to show up. She's in her pajamas, she's looked up sleepover games in the library and snacks, there's a TV mounted on the wall and she has... never held a sleepover before.

This is gonna turn out just fine. ]

But how might we even go about coming up with something else? Base them on traits as we see them?

[mementomoritz]

Maybe we could come up with a theme? Name everyone after different flowers, or colors, or types of bacteria...

[schardynfreude]

...Perhaps not that last one.

[mementomoritz]

Why not? [Legitimately clueless.]

[schardynfreude]

You have a singular appreciation for the beauty of all things life.

Most everyone else is not going to find the beauty in being called...I don't know, malaria or somesuch.

[mementomoritz]

Oh. [Just immediately accepting his word for it.] Would naming them after different internal organs be better or worse?

[schardynfreude]

...Better, although I wonder if any among us would care to be called Gallbladder or Bladder. [That he finds entertaining.]

[mementomoritz]

They could shorten it to Gall so no one gets them mixed up! [Well, that's one problem solved. Not the actual problem he meant, but it is solved.]

[seasharp]

That last one is banned.

[mementomoritz]

Aw, darn.
