CLOSED POST ♞ DING DONG A BODY HAS BEEN FOUND

[optimistical]

WHO: The Dangan crew!
WHERE: The poor empty and desolated apartment that Naegi calls home
WHEN: ~April 3
WHAT: Enough talk about murders and guilt and whatnot. Let's actually murder each other with Mario Kart (and other fun things!)
WARNINGS: Someone's probably going to get strangled with a controller wire

[ naegi's place isn't the... most luxurious looking place. in the dining room, there a really nice oak dining table (it's the most valuable thing that daisuke and naegi own - they'll die for it) and some chairs (there's a random beanbag chair???) and in the living room, there are easels and... yeah, that's about it. the living room is the destinated section of the apartment whenever naegi have to work on some art projects that can't be done in his room and while it's normally messy this time of the year (holy shit final projects and portfolios and personal projects in which he wants to die), he tidied up for the occasion, piling up his canvases and sketchbooks in the corner where no one can trip on them. ]

[ in addition, he's tried to at least make the place look presentable or more welcoming than a nearly empty place! he has gotten snacks! he has moved his crummy but still somewhat decent tv to the living room! he has his insanely old M64 console out to use on the tv! he begged daisuke to please take the crane out somewhere else so it doesn't try to kill everyone while they're over! it's not that bad! ]

[ just don't expect a nice sofa or something to lay down on. naegi and daisuke aren't rich enough for that ]

[ naegi has dug out his own m64 games and he holds one of the most dangerous ones in his hands ]

Does anyone want to try out Marco Kart 64? It's pretty easy for beginners!

[ (laughs) ]

[spiritoso]

It's been so long since I played it! Sign me up!

[ She's really excited! ]

[optimistical]

[ score! he's got at least one person so that's enough for him to put it in the console to start up. he'll pass kaede a controller ]

Uh oh, do I have to worry about you being a secret master Marco Kart player?

[spiritoso]

Not at all! It's been forever since I played!

[ Which is true, but she used to play it a lot. She takes the controller, fiddling with it to make sure she's used to the buttons. ]

I bet you'll be great at it!

[optimistical]

Haha, I haven't played in a while either so I might be a little rusty.

[ he's too busy DYING because of school and his 2838291 jobs so he doesn't get a lot of free time anymore. even if he gets free time, he normally spends it with others rather than playing video games ]

What character are you going to pick?

[steadycourse]

[Ishida has never played a video game, so he's here with a rather dubious expression.]

So, this is a racing game?? I hope people don't learn how to drive from this!

[optimistical]

It's pretty unrealistic so I don't think anyone would actually learn how to drive from this.

[ or SO HE HOPES??? maybe hagakure is a fool enough to think so ]

You can pick up items while you're racing and use them to try and get ahead of others. You can get things like banana peels to make other people slip on them or throw turtle shells to knock them over.

[steadycourse]

[He hesitantly takes a controller and squints at all the buttons on it. Why are there so many??? Actual cars don't have these many buttons!!]

That sounds dangerous! Throwing shells and making others slip! Isn't it enough to break the speed limit?!

[optimistical]

[ i am so glad that you have an icon of them with ishimaru having a psp. you were just waiting for this ]

Aha, well, it's a game so I think it's okay to break a couple of rules.

[ he'll pick up a controller as well after he puts the game into the m64 ]

Here, how about we try one round together so you can get the hang of it at first?

[falsepretentious]

An appropriate choice for a starting game. [He says, smirking with his arms crossed.] Well done, Makoto. I shall claim the fourth controller.

[optimistical]

[ and he will pass over the fourth controller! they are ready, they can start this game from hell ]

Have you played this before?

[falsepretentious]

[He claims it with pride and nods.]

Indeed. Gaming may not be my primary hobby, but I've had my fair share of races through Marco's colorful world.

[optimistical]

This is going to be an interesting race then!

[ between three players who have experience with marco kart and one player who will probably just scream throughout the entire thing ]

Who are you going to pick?

[spiritoso]

[ Before the gaming starts, Kaede is using some of the craft materials Naegi brought to make the animal ears they talked about on the network.

She's got a couple of different animals so far, and she's made enough for everyone here. ]

[steadycourse]

What are those for, Kaede?

[Apparently Ishida can't put two and two together, so he's looking at the animal ears with a slightly curious expression. Is it for an art project she's working on?! He thought this gathering was supposed to be for 'fun,' but he wouldn't blame his fellow student leadership officer for focusing on work still! In fact, he should take after her!!]

[spiritoso]

[ Come help her Ishida!! She'll turn towards him when he asks her that question. ]

They're for fun!

[ And then she'll just plop this headband on his head. ]

[steadycourse]

[H-huh?! Ishida reaches up to poke the dog ears coming from the headband.]

E-eh...?! This is fun to you???

[spiritoso]

[ She nods enthusiastically. ]

Yup! Don't you think so too?

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya makes a face as he looks at the animals ears and sighs.]

Don't tell me these have to do with our icons the other day...

[spiritoso]

They do!

[ And she'll pull out two headbands. ]

Which one do you like most? [ She holds them up in each hand. ]

[falsepretentious]

[A pause.]

The first one looks slightly less ridiculous.

[spiritoso]

[ She hands it to him. ]

Okay, so you're a tiger now!

[optimistical]

[ making crafts!! naegi's favourite pastime. he will be making a bunch of different types as well with her ]

Are you going to stick to cat ears like your display picture?

[spiritoso]

[ She's excited that Naegi is joining her!! ]

I think so! Unless you think I should do something different?

[optimistical]

Hmm, how about we switch after we take a bunch of pictures? Like after we take a couple of photos, we can put on different ears and rinse and repeat?

[ their instagrams are going to be booming with a bunch of pictures. be ready, followers ]
