[a little ice breaker]

Who: everyone!
When: throughout the week of August 10
Where: everywhere
What: a little mischief
Warnings: nada!

[On August 10th, everyone wakes up to find a series of red yarn strung across the entire school. They dangle from the hallway ceilings, from the classroom door frames, even across some of the trees and bleachers outside. The ones that hang within reach feel warm to the touch! They can be pulled down and removed with little consequence.]

[However, it is not the decorative threads you should be worried about. Throughout the week, any two characters who come in close proximity with each other (they do not have to touch!) may suddenly find themselves tied together with the exact same red thread. If you're lucky, it will only link you via your wrists. If you're unlucky, it might bind you via your ankles, or even wrap you both up back-to-back like a pair of captives. Hm! Concerning!!]

[Any time two characters are tied together, a playful voice echoes in their minds: Hehe. Share a secret. . .?]

[To be released, both characters must share a secret with each other! Something that the other one doesn't know! It should be something significant; the playful threads will not let you go unless it is. But the level of significance may vary from something light to something that is not, so ultimately it is player's choice as to what secrets count and which do not!]

[. . . anyway, for anyone who wants to avoid getting caught, the nurse's office and dorm rooms are completely clear! The threads are also fickle; it is possible for two characters to hang out without being tied up together, if you don't want to play with this effect. Otherwise, go forth and mingle with some optional forced bonding!!]

[also tugging insistently with a frown, glancing up at her as she speaks.]

Do you have anything sharp?

[A grimace, and a shake of her head.]

Nah, nothing at all. Didn't expect "cutting strings" to leap to the top of the list of reasons I'd miss having a knife.

[thoughtfully, as she looks at the string]

Perhaps there's something for it in the nurse's office.

[She brightens at that.]

Oh, yeah! Good thinking, that might be our best bet.

[giving a little nod and then starting off in that direction! as they go:]

I don't think I've had the pleasure of making your acquaintance just yet. I've been going by Star here - what might I call you?

[Mindful of the string as she follows her along.]

Hanabi, for me. Nice to meetcha, Star! [A beat, and a tired smile.] Circumstances aside, and all.

Mm, circumstances aside. How are you finding them so far?
parttimesoldier: (209)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-08-14 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it could be worse. Think I've had enough of ghosts to last a lifetime already, though.

I doubt you'll find any who disagree.

[opening the door to the nurse's office once they get there]

[Stepping inside, glancing around for where the scalpels were kept.]

Guess we should be thankful some of them enjoy pranks more than anything. This string's waaaay better to deal with than the stuff on day one.

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-08-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I'd say we should be thankful for any of this, but... You're right about the last part, certainly.

[watching as she goes for the scalpels]

Would you like to do the honors?
parttimesoldier: (201)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-08-21 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I take whatever small blessings there are when I can find them.

[Like, say, having a nice sharp object to cut away strings when you need it. She takes one in hand, then nods.]

Sure, let's do this!

[Carefully taking that scalpel to the strings binding their wrists and... Nothing. Not so much as a stray thread fraying from the effort.]

You're kidding me...
