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. ]

Perhaps some of us could all go together on a bit of a shopping trip. [He does not use air quotes, but...there are audible quotes there around 'shopping'.] And a bit of experimenting on the side.

[Oh, shit, that word--] Rather I mean that, were we to try and alter the appearances of our other forms, do those alterations stay? Experiments of that sort.

[Yeah, good call on clarifying. There's a brief sense of "aw, darn" from her before she immediately perks back up at the second bit.]

Ooh, that is an interesting question! Especially for someone like Kingslayer, since it sort of seems like they are their outfit?

[schardynfreude]

They are an unusual case on several fronts, to say the least. Though...hopefully in the future they will only use their powers of destroying buildings for good and not for attempting to re-kill their fellow Executors.

[mementomoritz]

They seem pretty nice, when they're not trying to kill me. [She's not really the type to hold a grudge.]

[schardynfreude]

They can at least banter well enough. When they aren't full of inescapable rage. I wonder if they had any hobbies in life.

[mementomoritz]

Maybe they liked sports? They seem pretty athletic! [You know, when they were chucking her across the training field like a javelin.]
