[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!!]

Yes. I'm feeling a bit tired, but... At any rate, thank you for the help.

[with getting out]

[a smile!]

I wasn't going to let us stay tied together forever. Especially if you didn't want it.

Well - appreciated, regardless.

[turns to leave]

Uh, Star--

[standing suddenly, because even though she announced her intent to leave, it kind of feels like they're parting on an awkward foot?]

. . . actually! Do you mind if I walk with you back to the dorms?

[pausing for a moment]

...I suppose if you would prefer.

[smiles!]

Yeah, it is! I mean. . . I know hanging around me can be pretty risky, but we'll walk fast. Get back before my curse kicks in.

Alright.

[starting to go that way]

[falling into step next to her, hands dipping into his pockets]

[. . .]


. . . is everything okay?

[tilts her head]

Why do you ask?
ordimame: (39)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-08-17 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[wryly]

You excused yourself pretty quickly there. I almost let you go, but. . .

[shrugs!]

It didn't feel right.

As I said, I'm feeling a bit tired. It's nothing you need to be concerned about.
ordimame: (126)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-08-18 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . if you say so.

[not that it will change the fact that he is a bit concerned, but! they don't have to talk about it. they can just walk back to the dorms in complete silence]

[after a few moments of silence:]

...Thank you. For the concern.

[a lopsided smile]

Anytime, Star. [a beat] So long as it's not overbearing!
