OMG IT'S A SLUMBER PARTY MEME.


You are in a vast room, vast enough so that what happens over here won't necessarily disturb what's happening over there, with a couple of semi-screened areas for semi-privacy and all the pillows and blankets and soft (or bouncy) sleeping surfaces you could ever want. Refreshments and entertainments provided by your dear friends at End of Line and Alan's popcorn machine. A movie screen or two. Stuffed animals (what is that one with all the tentacles anyway?). Your choice of sleepwear. Whatever else you'd take with you to a slumber party. And you get to share all of this with everyone else on the Grid.

Clearly this will be the best night EVER.

~Rules!~

When starting a thread, put what you're doing, who's involved, and any warnings in the subject line (e.g. 'Pillow fortress || OTA || tooth-rotting fluff'.) Also use the subject line in case a thread develops in such a way that new warnings are needed.

Within an open-to-all context, threadjacking and multiplayer threads are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.~~ Threads locked to a few characters are allowed too.

Continuity is variable, and likely unique to each thread. What happens in-meme stays in-meme unless you want it to apply somewhere else, and falling asleep in the Rinzlerpile doesn't mean you can't also fall asleep in the Userpile somewhere else.

This meme is safe. Like, really safe. Highest level of physical harm that can happen in this area is shoving someone or getting whacked with a pillow; anyone who attempts harmful physical contact (including unwanted disc meddling, I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU, CLU~) is quantum-teleported out of reach before the harm can happen, ~as many times as it takes~ for the message to sink in, and everyone goes in fully aware of this. Viruses and glitches are contained in a hamster ball quantum sphere which suppresses their infectious capabilities; such spheres can merge with other spheres, and non-viruses can go in and out of them at will (and only perceive a mild static sensation if a virus tries to infect them).

Which makes this a good place to thread with folks your characters don't often get an IC chance to thread with.

No pressure. This meme isn't expiring any time soon. Feel free to take your time!

Of course common rp courtesy applies here -- no godmodding, be mindful of one anothers' comfort levels, warn as needed, ask if uncertain of something, etc. Which we all do because we're awesome.~~

Other than that, HAVE FUN! |D /turns off notifs and waits for the tide to roll in<3

[Darts up. Darts down. Swings around Tron's head for a better vantage point.

That rolling thing on the screen. The vision calls to something deep inside its tiny soul.]


..Yessssssss.

[ja307020]

Tron just stared at the bit. Was it.. malfunctioning?

He reached up to poke it.

Dolly - anywhere and everywhere at any time! - OTA

[dollyoftheeol]

True to form, Dolly was making sure everyone had refreshments, it was just in her nature and she couldn't not do so. She was everywhere at one point or another, dispensing drinks and snacks to all assembled.

Lizor - Prowling around as he tends to - open!

[disc_warrior]

Lizor had come to the User termed 'slumber party' with Aadi and was currently using her location as a marker to orient himself. Currently he was content to prowl the outskirts silently, not really participating in any particular activity but observing instead. More accurately: listening.

Thankfully - the amount of programs around was able to give him an accurate map of where to step. Random furniture, blanket forts or pillow piles? Not so much. For that, he had his baton handy - extended out into a staff. In his other hand - he held a glass of glowing energy, some of the stronger stuff from the EoL.

[disc_warrior]

One of the blankets draped over the way in was lifted - and a dark haired head poked through. Li's dark eyes were squinty as his mouth quirked.

"Any vacancies?"

[disc_warrior]

Lizor's wanderings around the party was momentarily paused while he became distracted by the sounds coming from one of the spots where one of the large vid screens was located. Standing behind the seats and pillows while leaning on his baton staff - he sipped at his drink without much visible reaction, though that in itself was normal for him.

"Sounds like a war." He stated simply.

[tanks4thememory]

Clu has found himself a comfy pillow and is currently sitting cross-legged on it in front of Roy, listening as he tells Star Wars Grid Wars the story. He's wearing what he normally wears to sleep, namely, his unarmored grid suit, sans jacket, helmet, or boots. Sitting next to him on the floor is a glass of energy, a blue-green concoction from the End of Line that he particularly liked.

Clu listens to the story with obvious interest. He already likes that one of the characters is a bit, and it sounds like things are starting to get interesting.

[disc_warrior]

Lizor was off to the side, keeping along the outskirts of the group clustered around the User telling the story. Yes, he hadn't met this man, but he knew he was a User with an energy signature like that.

He was a dark shape, wearing an un-armored black civilian type outfit that had a form fitting long sleeved shirt but loose comfortable pants with a subtle but simple circuit design. He was barefoot, and casually leaning on his baton staff while he listened with a curious frown.

Trillian - hanging out by the popcorn maker all what do? - open!

[2social4urservr]

Okay this was pretty awesome! He had been intrigued by this slumber party User tradition of some sort, and so came down without any hesitation to have fun and get a chance to meet new friends, and catch up with old ones.

Currently however, he was scratching his head in the space where an interesting smell was coming from. Apparently this was where a User food named popcorn was made? How interesting!

[radiant_synergy]

Radia silently steps among the programs and grid critters - having missed the very beginning of the story, but was interested in hearing the rest just the same. She wore a white outfit that resembled a tunic and loose pants, laced with intricate embroidery like circuit designs along the collar and hem which shimmered an opalescent white.

She wore no jewelry or anything fancy. In fact, she was barefoot with her shawl draped around her arms as she picked her way through the crowd to settle next to Clu - a pillow grasped in one arm. She came in from the side, not wanting to block anyone's view or disrupt the story telling.

Radia - relaxing and listening to music/maybe will dance - open!

[radiant_synergy]

Radia was wandering around, seeing what there was to do during this User activity. She was currently sitting in an area that was designated for music or dancing if people wanted to. She was content to listen for now, and watch - grateful for a little bit of peace to relax.

[gemini_search]

Kweri was sitting not far from Roy, leaning forward and cross legged with a pillow in her lap to cushion her elbows. Her wide green eyes never left the User - listening to every word. She wore her usual thin black gridsuit - pale green circuitry visible, as well as the delicate filaments glowing in her hair.

She had come to the party with Trillian - but did not know where the program was currently. There was too much fun things to do to be worried though! This story for one - was really great!

[gemini_search]

Kweri stopped and leaned against the back of one of the couches, staring at the large vidscreen, then glancing down at the player. Her eyes widened. She would recognize that particular circuit pattern anywhere! She's watched enough old archived gaming vids to know!

"Hi Tron!" She chirped a bright greeting - though she had never met any Tron's from The Grid before, she was friendly, like she was to anyone. "What are you playing?" She was mesmerized by the color and the motion of the action on screen. This was how Users played games??

Kweri - bed and pillow jumping spree, maybe a pillow spar wahoo! - open!

[gemini_search]

Kweri was carefully arranging pillows in a huge pile next to one of the comfy large beds that had been arranged around the space. She was meticulous - arranging them just so. At first glance, it wasn't certain if she was making a pillow sculpture, or a nest to sleep in, or a fort.

In fact, she was doing something A LOT more fun. Once this was set up, this was going to be amazing. She had a grin on her face and would giggle once in a while if one of the pillows fell off, or if she imagined what would happen once she implemented her plan.

[ja307020]

Tron fished for the box and tossed it to her before offering her the controller silently. She was welcome to take a round. So he could gather data.

[areumyprogram]

[Dodges neatly to one side, stellating curiously. Circles Tron's hand, and then flits around to hover at the controller. Y u no keep playing?]

Yesyesyes?

[overarch]

"You're doing something," smiles Allon, slipping in through the gap to sit gracefully at Aadi's side. "That's excitement enough.... May I see?"

[rrrrr]

[To be honest, Rinz isn't entirely sure how to play, at least like this. He likes to bat around bits data string, but how's that supposed to work with someone else?]

Show how to play?

[ourseparateways]

Sam glanced back from the screen for a moment, only to be rewarded by Master Chief taking a hit from a fuel rod gun and dying on impact. "Ahhh man!" He sighed. "Yeah, it's a war. Users versus aliens. It's supposed to be set in the future, where there's these genetically modified Users called Spartans..."

The game started up again and he trailed off, sucked back into it.

[isoartist]

"Nope, sorry, all full up." she was trying her hardest not to laugh, and it almost worked, for a moment, but the giggle broke through all the same and she shifted over to make more room for him, "Of course there's space."

[isoartist]

"Oh of course." She said, handing the information pad over. It was her sketchbook, more or less, when she wasn't making sculptures or restoring other artists pieces from their long time in storage, or worse, the elements, she designed clothes.

[disc_warrior]

"Ah, pity.." Lizor played along, even frowning in dissapointment a little. He could feel however the pending laughter and his mouth twitched into its previous quirk.

Finally when he heard Aadi's laughter he got on his hands and knees so that he could crawl into the fort after reverting his staff into a baton, chuckling softly in his throat. He had a glass of some 'good stuff' in one hand which he sat up and promptly finished before hunkering down - finding the ISO with a hand to assist his aim as he kissed her with affectionate amusement. The tingle of the strong energy he had just drank was still present on his lips.

"hmmm I heard that this was an ISO only establishment." he murmured after moving away a little so they could converse. "You wouldn't kick me out would you?" Again he tried to show a pouty frown.

((ooc: gahaha! She could help remind him about their play wrestling/pillow fights at some point! XD))

[ja307020]

Eyeroll. Bits were so weird sometimes.

He did re-start the level, though.

[isoartist]

She'd been about to reply to the first when all she could do was laugh softly again and return the kiss. What she came around to was: "Of course I wouldn't." As she settled herself easily against his side, having set the tablet she was working with aside, "Mostly because you heard wrong, but we can ignore that fact for the sake of argument."

(ooc: Oh lord, the whole fort's going to come down, isn't it?)

[pupgram]

He follows the movement, eyes focused on the plushie as he barks as a reply.
